What is Candida?
Yeast, a type of fungus, can lead to an infection referred to as a yeast infection. This can be found anywhere in the body.
The most typical type of yeast infection is known as Candidiasis. More than 20 species of Candida exist; with Candida albicans being found the most frequently.
Infections are caused by a big number of fungi collecting at one location due to favorable conditions. These conditions are found in areas of the body that are warm and moist. Common examples are:
Under normal circumstances, your skin will effectively block the yeast, but if any cuts and openings in the skin are present, the possibility of the organism entering those areas will increase.
Normal affected areas found in babies are the mouth and diaper areas.
Vaginal Candidiasis, a vaginal yeast infection, is the most regularly found form of vaginitis.
Oral yeast infections are mostly found in adults, due to their increasing age. Other places where these yeast infections exist are: around dentures, in skin folds (mostly under the breast and lower abdomen) and nail beds. Treatment of these types of candida infections may clear it up quickly, where infections found in the nail beds usually require extended therapy.
It is seldom that a yeast infection spreads throughout the body. Up to 45% of people who suffer from systematic candida disease (where the fungus enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the body) pass away.
Even general oral and vaginal yeast infections can lead to critical illness and are usually more immune against normal treatment.
A reappearance of some yeast infections may be a warning of more dangerous diseases, namely: diabetes, leukemia, or AIDS.
Causes of Candidiasis Yeast Infection:
The signs and symptoms of a candida infection can differ, depending on where the infection is.
Vaginal yeast infection in women:
In order to recognize the presence of a vaginal yeast infection, doctors will look for a thick white discharge, which has a similar appearance to that of cottage cheese.
The infection usually leads to itchiness or an irritation in the vaginal area as well as surrounding outer tissues. In some cases, pain may be experienced during sexual intercourse or burning while urinating.
Genital yeast infection in men:
Men who have had intercourse with a woman suffering from vaginal yeast infection are more likely to develop symptoms of a genital yeast infection. Yeast is normally present in a woman’s body and it is not transmittable from somewhere else. Therefore a yeast infection is not classified as a sexually-transmitted disease (STD).
Unless a woman’s male sex partner develops symptoms of candida yeast infection, treatment is not recommended. Symptoms usually include itching and burning sensations of the penis or even a rash on the skin of the penis.
In infants and adults:
A candida infection can appear in various ways.
Thrush, also known as moniliasis (originated from an older name “monilia”), can be painful and cause difficulty eating, therefore attention should be given so that the person does not become dehydrated.
Candida skin infection symptoms will show as a red flat rash with sharp ruffle edges. “Satellite lesions” is when similar smaller patches of the existing rash appear and it leads to itchiness or pain.
Candida infections of people with bad immune systems can influence different internal organs and may lead to pain or dysfunction of the organ. A yeast infection namely esophagitis, found in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) system of a person, may develop with people who has a suppressed immune system; caused by AIDS, chemotherapy or other conditions.
This infection is identical to thrush but stretches down the mouth and throat to the stomach.
Candida esophagitis can lead to painful swelling through the GI system, which results in a struggle to swallow anything – even liquids.
Food doesn’t absorb easily if the infection spreads into the bowels. People who suffer from this condition can easily become dehydrated. Other symptoms can be a pain in the area of the sternum (breastbone), pain in the upper abdomen, and/or nausea and vomiting.
Should Candida enter the bloodstream, the person may become sick with or without fever. If the infection spreads to the brain, intense changes towards mental function or behavior may appear.
Diagnosing Candida is not a simple matter. Even if Candida levels are assessed via the blood or stool, it is impossible to know how tolerant one is to Candida and its by-products. A person with a strong constitution may be capable of hosting large populations of Candida fungus with minimal symptoms, while another person may suffer greatly from a mild overgrowth of candida.
Candida may be a contributing factor in some illnesses and it may be the cause of others. However, it almost always accompanies intestinal, immune, degenerative or toxicity related illnesses, adding an additional recovery challenge or even preventing recovery.
Either way, reducing one’s level of Candida will aid in healing by removing the suppressive impact of the candida yeast and fungus and the constant strain caused by their toxic by-products.
Recovery from moderate to severe Candida overgrowth requires a whole lifestyle healing regimen. This Whole lifestyle Approach may not be welcomed without an absolute diagnosis of Candida overgrowth. There are several available tests available for Candida. Unfortunately, they all have limited accuracy and none of them are able to decipher what level of candida overgrowth is a problem for you specifically.
No matter how well or sick you are, no matter what the cause, cleansing the colon, supporting the immune system and detoxifying the whole body with the help of food therapy will help free up your body’s resources to speed healing and/or sustain your good health.
In fact, for many people, this program has resulted in dramatic health improvements and relief from years of chronic ill health.
The majority of our western society suffers from some degree of intestinal flora imbalance due to our poor diet, reliance on medications and high-stress levels.
Restoring normal, healthy, intestinal bacteria and reducing pathogenic micro-organisms will enhance digestion while improving nutrient assimilation and overall general resilience.
Health Complications of Candida Yeast Infection
Candidiasis is the overgrowth of a type of fungus known as Candida albicans. The overgrowth of Candida albicans results in yeast infection.
Candida often makes its appearance in warm and moist areas of the body – Usually the mouth, throat, digestive area and genitals.
When the probiotic bacteria outnumber the amount of Candida albicans present, a yeast infection will develop.
If a patient with candida yeast infection does not receive the necessary treatment in time, it can result in death.
When Candida enters the blood stream it can easily establish itself in other parts of the body. This will lead to other difficulties like sinus problems, rashes, joint problems, acne, and much more.
The yeast cell that develops in the intestines inserts itself in the mucous membranes and starts to feed on the digestive enzymes and the undigested food. This can lead to malnutrition which leads to serious health problems at a later stage.
Candida yeast infection will lead to a weakened immune system. Candida can make more than 50 toxic elements that wreck your body. These elements harm the tissues which weaken the immune system and body organs such as the lungs, kidneys, bladder, liver and brain.
The most general toxin that Candida delivers into the body is acetaldehyde. When acetaldehyde converts into ethanol it can lead to much worse symptoms such as:
Candidiasis can have an effect in the following:
There are a variety of tests that practitioners use to diagnose yeast overgrowth, that may include stool tests, blood tests, live blood cell tests, etc., but the truth is that none of these tests are really reliable. They may or may not detect an infection of Candidiasis.
The simple most effective way to know if you have a yeast problem is by your symptoms. The very best and most accurate test to identify yeast overgrowth is the written questionnaire that you can find in Dr. Crook’s book called “The Yeast Connection.”
Another very popular test that many natural health practitioners use is called the “spit test.” However, I would like to point out that some health practitioners do not feel this test is reliable. It has a high rate of false negatives and false positives. Personally, I do not advocate the spit test, but you will find other practitioners who stand behind it wholeheartedly. So, I am going to provide the directions below in case you’re interested, but please be aware of its potential limits. Here’s how you do it:
See the picture below for guidance.
1. Maintain a low-carb diet.
2. Avoid the consumption of dairy products.
3. Exclude foods with high yeast contents, and distilled or pickled items.
4. Eat poultry, fish, meat, salad and vegetables.
5. Include healthy spices and herbs in your diet.
6. Assess medications.
7. Use a supplement that includes Warburgia.
8. Drink at least 2L of water every day.
9. Use an over-the-counter topical balm for yeast infections.
10. Balance the pH of your abdomen.
11. Prevent sugar cravings

My daughter has been struggling with Candida for a while and nothing we tried helped, not even antibiotics the Doctor prescribed. Since she has been using Candida support it really is much better and that constant itching is gone! Thank you!!!
Sonja (verified owner) – :
This is an excellent product and very safe to use too. I have been struggling with Candida for a long time and after using this I no longer have any symptoms !
Portia (verified owner) – :
I was diagnosed with candida in 2014 and did not do anything to the matter. In December 2015 I became very ill with all sorts of symptoms, no energy, dizziness, fatigue, poor eyesight. The doctor prescribed a very expensive substance that I had to take over a 7 day period and a terrible diet that drained all my energy. Once done with treatment I went back to being ill. I have been using the candida support and the Gut support together for almost 2 weeks and I can feel a huge difference in my body. I am eating healthy as far as I can, but if I want to eat rice or potatoes I just go ahead and do it and no more dizziness and weakness. I want to see what happens after the 3 months supply is done.
