| Candida is one of several yeast and fungal organisms in the body. In a healthy immune system, “good” bacteria keep these organisms in check, so they don’t grow out of control. But when our body ecology is out of balance then candida grows wild and causes a variety of symptoms. When the immune system is weak, candida can take over the intestinal tract, vagina, sinuses and the surface of the tongue. Our body ecology can be imbalanced by eating too much sugar, taking antibiotics or being exposed to poor quality air and water. Candida thrives on sugar, and unless the source of food is eliminated, it will quickly spread entire body systems and can cause discomfort. |
