Why the interest in Candida Albicans over the last twenty years? It is because more and more people: suffer recurring problems that are the result of immunocompromised systems, take antibiotics more than ever before, eat fast and denatured foods without replenishing their mineral bank accounts, are prone to unrelenting stress due to career, money, health and relationship stressors, and have body environments that are perfect for hosting Candida Albicans.

The wave of illnesses fueled by candida overgrowth have given rise to the current public interest. The epidemic is born of current life trends: over-medication, poor eating, more immuno-compromised bodies than ever before, stress that is unbearable for some. For the 20% of humanity that is prone to this condition, life may be very uncomfortable.

You may suspect Candida Albicans is out of control if you suffer recurring bouts of: asthma, bronchitis, colds, influenza, bloated stomach, bad digestion, lupus, depression, fibromyalgia, skin rash, eczema, arthritis. If you suffer depression, clouded thinking, inability to sleep at night along with the aforementioned, you probably can suspect candida overgrowth.

It is said to be dimorphic which means it shape shifts from white to opaque cells so that it can mate. That ability to morph creates a fungus that can run rampant in a system that is a good host. Candida can coat the throat, mouth, esophagus, live in the genitourinary tract, live in the stomach, intestines and gut, the lungs and sinuses In advanced cases it completely overruns the body and kills it. That is fourth stage candida. The body hosting candida overgrown is also the host for parasites.

There are several factors which make a perfect host situation for Candida Albicans: overwhelming stress, hormonal changes such as post natal, menopause, stopping breast feeding, antibiotics, steroids, other medicine that kills naturally occurring healthy bacteria in the body, post-surgery, grief, loss and prolonged sadness or illness, too much sugar, simple carbohydrates, and fast foods. This is the first in series of articles on creating a healthy environment that cannot be tolerated by candida andother parasites.
