Candida Albicans: Understanding the RISK

by Linda Allen

Candida Albicans is a kind of yeast that directly causes human yeast infections when the opportunity arises. Some 24 kinds of Candida fungi have been identified as causes of human Candida yeast infection, however most yeast infections (above all vaginal and oral yeast infections) are the result of Candida albicans.

Candida albicans, like bacteria and fungal microbes, live in the gut and also other parts of the human body. They are imperative for the digestion process and for assimilating micronutrients, such as fatty acids, amino acids and glucose. Nevertheless, when Candida albicans mutates to a fungal form from the yeast form, it can penetrate through the damaged mucous tissues of the intestines to enter the bloodstream and provoke local and systemic yeast infections.

In their local manifestation, Candida infections can be painful, itchy, and burning, and also give rise to abnormal discharges and rashes in the area concerned (sexual organs, skin, mouth and so on). Symptoms of systemic infection the include allergies, serious difficulties of digestion, sinusitis, cravings for candy, muscle pain and recurring fatigue. Any Candida infection subtype can be intensely annoying and impact negatively on one’s quality of life.

The unbridled overgrowth of Candida Albicans is the result of a lack of balance of a number of environmental and lifestyle aspects that perturb and are in turn perturbed by the inner imbalance of the body. The inner balance, essential for maintaining Candida Albicans at the correct levels, can be upset by:

1. Poor diet habits (eating too much refined carbohydrates, soy products, yeasty food, drinking too much alcohol etc.). All these nutrients encourage Candida albicans, and therefore the creation of an intestinal condition that promotes Candida overgrowth.

2. Contraceptive pills, steroids, antibiotics and other drugs that increase the multiplication of Candida albicans in the gut by destroying beneficial intestinal bacteria.

3. Stress and insufficient sleep, also the agents of an overall degradation of the immune system.

4. Infections of Candida which are local or mild, but then ignored.

5. Imbalance of hormones, excessive toxin presence.

Did you know? The holistic approach targets the multiplication of fungal organisms by acting on the hidden factors concerned, like the impacted immune system, hormonal imbalance, excess of toxins and the dearth of beneficial bacteria. For the prevention and/or cure of an overpopulation of Candida albicans, these factors must be treated first. A positive routine of specific supplements of herbs and vitamins, pursued by a comprehensive set of dietary principles and Candida control protocols, allow you to block the internal items that trigger fungal infection, to clear up and prevent recurrence of recurring candidiasis. The holistic approach is the only one that provides an effective solution to permanently eliminate and prevent yeast infections.
