About Candida

 

Candida Albicans has become a household word for many health-conscious Americans. Candida is a yeast that lives in the human digestive system. Candida is kept at low levels by the friendly bacteria that also reside in the digestive tract. The friendly bacteria feed on the Candida, and thus a balance in the body is maintained. However, antibiotics, birth control pills, cortisone, and chemotherapy can kill the friendly bacteria.

 

Once friendly bacteria has been destroyed, the yeast begins to overgrow and take over the digestive system. Left untreated, it becomes a fungus and grows into a plant-like structure complete with roots. These roots can break through the intestinal walls which allows the yeast to travel to other areas of the body such as the sinuses, throat, reproductive organs, lungs, skin, and more.

 

Candida is capable of producing over 100 symptoms. That makes it extremely frustrating for anyone with this condition to find out exactly what is wrong with them. Billions of dollars are spent every year on antibiotics, creams, nasal sprays, unnecessary hospital visits, operations, antidepressants, and other treatments due to misdiagnosis of this disease.

 

When you review the list of possible Candida symptoms below, you'll see why symptoms alone can mislead a doctor into treating one or another "major symptom" and missing the true culprit all together!

 

	Possible Symptoms of Candida
Intolerance of perfumes, odors, fumes, fabric shop odors, and tobacco smoke Complaints that worsen in damp, muggy, or moldy places Athletes' foot, jock itch, fungal infections on the skin or nail Craving for sugar, bread, or alcohol Prostatitis or vaginitis Diarrhea Constipation Indigestion Gas or flatulence Rectal itching or rash Colic Joint pain or swelling Acne Hives Rashes Itching skin Eczema Psoriasis Loss of sex drive Impotence Fatigue Feeling drained Memory loss Feeling "spaced out"	Belching Muscle aches Erratic vision Drowsiness Irritability or jitteriness Mood swings Depression Suicidal feelings Headaches Hypoglycemia Feeling of swelling and tingling in the head Heartburn Abdominal distention, bloating, or pain Intestinal gas Mucous in the stool Diaper rash Numbness, burning, or tingling Endometriosis (irregular or painful menstruation) Kidney, bladder infections Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder with possible infection) Sores or blisters in the mouth Wheezing or shortness of breath Food allergies or food reactions Cramps or menstrual irregularities Pain or tightness in the chest	Vaginal itch, burning, or persistent infections Muscle pain Flu-like symptoms Sinus infections Bad breath Cough Hair loss PMS Spots in front of eyes Asthmatic symptoms Burning on urination Burning or itching eyes Ear pain Ear discharges Hemorrhoids Dry mouth Nasal congestion Post nasal drip Sore or dry mouth Nasal itching Nasal discharge Sore or dry throat Thrush General allergies Hay ever Painful intercourse

 

As you can see, the symptoms are numerous and varied! Many times, people give up on ever finding out what was wrong with them because these symptoms seem so unrelated. In addition, symptoms can vary according to your diet. Sugar, alcohol, starches, fermented foods, and sweets (even fruits) will increase symptoms by feeding the yeast organisms. This will cause them to grow and release more toxin which, in turn, produces more symptoms.

 

Candida Test

 

You can try this simple test to see if you may have Candida. First thing in the morning, and before you put anything in your mouth, get a clear glass. Fill it up with water. Work up a bit of saliva and then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour. If you have Candida, you may see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or "cloudy" saliva that sinks to the bottom of the glass. Cloudy specks may seem to be suspended in the water. If there are no strings and the saliva is still floating after at least one hour, you may not have Candida.

 

Candida Treatment

 

The CranioBiotic Technique (CBT) is a totally unique and powerful treatment for Candida. This revolutionary treatment stimulates your own immune system to eliminate the Candida overgrowth. No more than four successive CBT treatments are usually necessary as long as you strictly adhere to the anti-Candida diet and take the prescribed probiotic supplements. After your last treatment, the diet must be strictly followed for one additional week in order to prevent the Candida from returning. No matter what you may read on the Internet, no Candida treatment is effective unless you also strictly adhere to an anti-Candida diet!

 

Do not start the Candida treatments unless you are totally committed to following the treatment program. If you have even a small amount of food or beverage that is prohibited, more treatments (and expense) will be necessary to eliminate your Candida. You must carefully read the ingredients of anything you put in your mouth. Never assume that a certain food or beverage is safe to consume until you have thoroughly checked the ingredients.

 

After each Candida treatment, you may experience mild to moderate fatigue or headaches. This is the result of toxins being released into your blood stream from the Candida that has been destroyed. Be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water a day while being treated. This will help to flush the toxins from your colon. You should be having at least two bowel movements a day while being treated. It's okay to take natural bowel stimulants or laxatives in order to accomplish this. Colonics can also be very helpful during this time.

 

Candida can be passed from one spouse to the other. It is therefore a very good idea to have your significant other checked for Candida. A mother who has Candida may also infect her children when she is pregnant or through breast feeding. If you would like any family member to be checked for Candida, we will be happy to do so at no charge.
