Understanding systemic candida infection and localized yeast infections.

Candida yeast overgrowth is the underlying cause of many of today's most common health disorders, for example . . . A general sense of unwellness characterized by fatigue & muscle weakness, sleep disorders, anxiety, digestive complaints, vaginal yeast infection, skin disorders such as rashes, hives and itching, diminished sex drive, headache, chemical sensitivities, depression, muscle and joint pain and often genito-urinary problems are frequently mis-diagnosed or dismissed as being psycho- somatic, caused by stress or simply imaginary, by most conventional medical practitioners.

If you're suffering any of these conditions consider the relation between candida overgrowth and its resultant symptoms.

Candida albicans is a strain of yeast and occupies a place in the microbial ecology of the human intestinal environment as an organism responsible for the neutralization of certain species of harmful gut bacteria. Candida albicans is found in low concentrations in healthy intestinal systems, where it performs its normal, healthy functions, assisting in the maintenance of ideal intestinal flora levels. Candida albicans yeast can however, easily proliferate out of control due to the prevalence of health undermining factors so common in our modern world.
