Candidosis, Yeast Infection, Monilia and Thrush are all names used to describe one of the most debilitating immune deficiency and nutritional disorders of our time. The symptoms are numerous and include:
- Recurrent thrush or cystitis
- Chronic tiredness
- Inability to lose weight
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Allergies
- Uncontrollable mood swings
- Fluid retention
- Premenstrual syndrome
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Chronic skin problems such as acne, dermatitis and tinea
All sufferers are also hypoglycaemic, which results in sugar cravings. These cravings can make the infection worse if acted upon as Candidosis feeds on sugar.
Severe infection can result in quite neurotic behaviour. Most Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) sufferers have yeast infection, as do advanced AIDS …show more content…
About 80% of these bacteria are considered ‘friendly’ with many of the variety Lactobacillus Acidophilus; the same as those that exist in live yoghurt. The remaining 20% are yeast organisms known as Candida Albicans. It is found deep within the bowel, generates food intolerances and supresses the immune system.
Yeast is a single cell organism related to moulds and fungi. It is neither animal of vegetable and lives all over the body on all of the mucous membranes which line the gastro intestinal tract. It is just especially prominent in the colon. It has a job to do, just like any other bacteria.
Its growth is normally kept in check by the friendly lacto bacteria in our gut and by a healthy immune system. When these regulating factors are disturbed, yeast (rather happily) multiplies.
This multiplication of yeast can be contributed to or encouraged by a number of things. These include:
- Stress, which supresses the immune system
- Lack of nutrients in our diet, which reduces the immune function
- Anything which imbalances the ‘friendly’ bacteria in our colon.
