    About this ebook

    Candida is a group of parasitic fungi that resembles yeasts. It usually infects the human skin and results in a variety of diseases. The name ‘Candida’ refers to the white color of the organisms in culture. Infection caused by Candida is known as ‘Candidiasis’, ‘Candidosis’ or ‘Moniliasis’. Candida needs a living host to survive. It is present in the human GI tract from early infancy, where it lives without causing any disease most of the time. However, if the host's defenses are sacrificed, Candida can cause infection of the mucosa (the lining of the mouth, anus and genitals), the skin, and rarely, deep-seated infection. There are various kinds of Candida depending upon their nature and severity. It is possible to manage Candida by knowing clearly about it.
    This will help you to live a Candid-infection free life.

      Candida: What Is It?

      It sounds a little scary, but in simple terms, Candida is a yeast organism (normally found on the skin, in the mouth, gut, and other mucus membranes) that causes infection when our natural resistance to its overgrowth is reduced. You may be more familiar with the terms thrush, oral thrush, yeast infection, fungal infection – these are all Candida infections, just with slightly less attractive names! However you may not necessarily see visible signs of an infection, many symptoms can easily go undiagnosed such as ‘brain fog’ or simply feeling lethargic, in fact, it is estimated that 70% of people have Candida overgrowth in their intestines, mouths or on their skin. (A comprehensive list of Candida symptoms is outlined below.)

      Luckily Candida can be easily managed. However it becomes more serious in immune compromised patients, such as those with cancer, serious burns, or AIDS, where infection by Candida of internal organs can occur.

      So, What Causes The Imbalance?

      The Candida organism can become capable of causing illness when your body’s ability to contain it proves ineffective and consequently allows the yeast to spread, causing an overgrowth. This can happen either internally or externally, such as on the skin and in and around the oral and vaginal cavities. Many health practitioners agree that internal Candida infection is very common, often left undiagnosed, and possibly the cause of many external infectious Candida conditions.

      The following factors might increase the likelihood of a Candida overgrowth occurring:

      Ingestion of antibiotics from meat and animal products

      Excess consumption of sugar and sugar containing products

      Pregnancy

      Diabetes mellitus

      Immunosuppression

      Mercury from mercury amalgam dental fillings

      Chlorine
