What is Candida?
Dr. Brian Martin
Any of the following physical afflictions may be due to Candida
Albicans, a yeast infection that begins in the digestive system
and slowly spreads to other parts of the body: frequent colds,
Epstein Bar Virus, bladder infections, skin eruptions, poor
digestion, reproductive problems, vaginal yeast infections,
fatigue, joint pain, depression, memory loss, irritability,
anxiety, and mood swings.
A yeast cell produces over 75 known toxic substances that poison
the human body. These toxins contaminate the tissues, weaken the
immune system, the glands, the kidneys, bladder, lungs, liver and
especially the brain and nervous system. Candida yeast may
eventually evolve into a fungal form—very long, root-like
structures penetrate the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal
wall. As a result, the protective barrier between the intestinal
tract and bloodstream allows foreign and toxic substances to
pollute the body. If undigested proteins and other food wastes
are not properly eliminated, the immune system often comes under
attack and may cause tremendous allergic reactions, fatigue and
many other health problems. A Candida yeast infection is
frequently undetected and subsequently, transmitted sexually.
An organic compound in humans called Acetaldehyde is the primary
waste product and human toxin from Candida; it is a product of
alcohol fermentation within the body. In response, the immune
system may respond to Candida by-products and food molecules in
the bloodstream with high histamine production. This in turn can
result in classic symptoms of allergies and food intolerances.
Everyday, Candida causes numerous health problems and discomfort
for over 30 million men and women, and it is estimated that
nearly everyone has or will eventually have a moderate to serious
Candida condition in their lives. For many people, prescription
drugs are not effective as a long-term treatment. Unpleasant side
effects often prove more difficult to endure than the condition
itself. Due to Candida’s cyclical nature, relief may be found
through the administration of holistic medicines and treatments.
