Do you know if you are suffering from chronic candida issues? Candida (candida albicans) is a yeast that is naturally found in our digestive system. Problems arise with this yeast when there is too much of it, or it begins mutating into it's fungal form. Candida can take over sections of our intestinal tract causing numerous symptoms. It also produces a variety of toxic wastes, including acetylaldehyde, a very poisonous substance with damaging effects on brain function including: impaired memory, decreased ability to concentrate (“brain fog”), depression, slowed reflexes, lethargy and apathy, heightened irritability, decreased mental energy, increased anxiety and panic reactions, decreased sensory acuity, increased tendency to alcohol, sugar, and cigarette addiction, decreased sex drive, and increased PMS and breast swelling/tenderness in women.
Candida also affects the mucousal lining of the intestines leading to leaky gut syndrome, and creates a whole host of problems. Many aggravating daily symptoms may occur as well as auto-immune diseases and impaired liver function. Candida is a yeast infection, that occurs in the digestive tract that can and sometimes systemic. Literally millions of men and women have a potential yeast infection that are causing a significant number of health problems or conditions. Many holistic practitioners believe it has become the missing link in disease as well as the most under-diagnosed (ignored) problem in modern medicine.
