Candida

Candida albicans is a fungal organism that is present in everyone’s intestinal tract. It is normally healthy and kept under control by the immune system and by beneficial intestinal bacteria. The balance is disrupted when these bacteria are destroyed (typically by antibiotics), when the immune function is impaired (typically due to stress or illness), or when we develop environmental or food sensitivities. Once that balance is upset, Candida begins to proliferate, invade, and colonize body tissues. It most commonly appears as a vaginal yeast infection or as oral thrush, but Candida albicans can also spread inside the body and become a systemic problem. Many of our patients have struggled with chronic yeast despite years of conventional treatment, yet achieve relief and complete resolution with our methods.
