What You Should Know About Candidiasis
Candidiasis, (commonly known by other names thrush, yeast infection, fungal infection) like diabetes, has been dubbed a 20th-century disease, proclaimed widespread and charged with causing complaints such as allergies, migraines, mental disorientation, bloating, skin complaints, and at their worse, organ failure and cancer.
Candidiasis, or yeast infection, is a stealthy attacker, in that it mimics symptoms of other illnesses and thus go unidentified as candida. That is the reason candida population can bloom in our bodies unchecked until it has proliferated well into every part of our system (systemic candida).
The problem with mainstream medical professionals is that a large number of them do not believe in the dangers posed by candida. Instead they treat the symptoms that manifest clearly – allergies, coughs, chronic bronchitis, and such, without knowing that the medications prescribed may actually make the yeast infection worse.
Take allergies for example. Allergies have mystified health practitioners for decades. And yet, although the candida-allergy connection had been discovered and confirmed by biological technologists and natural health therapists since the 1970s, it is yet to be a recognised branch in the study of conventional medicine. Research studies show that to control yeast infections would ultimately cure most allergies, because an uncontrolled growth of candida in our blood system is a major cause of allergic reactions to chemicals in our food, air and water.
Candida yeast are a normal component of healthy flora existing in our bodies. They are tiny, microscopic plants that love warm, dark and moist environment, and so seek places like the intestines, the walls of the vagina, and when systemic (all over our body) the blood vessel linings and mucous membranes of our organs. Because they are plants, candida yeast have roots, stem and foliage. They sink their roots into the mucous membranes of the body, which, to candida, are fertile soil.
