Candida Albicans
What is Candida
Candida Albicans is a strain of Yeast that normally inhabits our Intestines in harmony with the natural Gut Flora. The Gut is constantly working to maintain balance and support a healthy Immune System. Sometimes there are too many challenges for it, Stress, Chemicals, Antibiotics, Toxic Metals, Electromagnetics, all play their part.
Your Stomach must produce enough Hydrochloric Acid - one of the the enzymes needed not only to help break down food, but also to kill pathogens. There are statistics that suggest our HCl diminishes with age and although this can be reversed, numbers show that most people accept Indigestion, Dyspepsia, or Heart Burn as a normal part of the aging process.
The word Antibiotic loosely translated means 'Anti-Bio' - against Organic Life, When taking a course of antibiotics, not only can the 'bad bacteria' be killed, but also the 'good', leaving a potential for 'bad bacteria' to flourish. Therefore, a picture starts to build as to how, a chink in the armour is created.
Normal HCl levels will gradually redress the balance and kill any pathogen, but if there is not enough HCl, the gut can become overwhelmed and the natural gut flora cannot flourish in this environment - this is when Candida begins to take hold.
Candidiasis
Your body can function quite a long time alongside an overgrowth of Candida, maybe years, but as the overgrowth begins to take hold it mutates to form a Mycelic Fungal characteristic, with root like tendrils that burrow into the Intestinal wall - this is called Candidiasis and has the effect of creating holes in the gut lining where the spreading tendrils burrow through. These in turn let particles of food and toxins through to the blood stream, known as 'Leaky Gut Syndrome', causing the body to become 'reactive' to foods and chemicals. This can look and feel like an allergy, because the Immune System responds as though it has been invaded.
Once Candidiasis has developed it can become systemic, meaning it spreads throughout the body via the circulatory system. This is often when it is hardest to deal with, as it is by then more stubborn, and impervious to normal drugs or medication. This is why a Systemic approach is often needed to irradicate it.
