Chronic Candida: The Unrecognized Illness

Patients with Chronic Candida often suffer needlessly for years with symptoms ranging from depression to loss of memory to fatigue. Sufferers of this condition go from doctor to doctor looking for a cure but are often written off as hypochondriacs because the doctor is unable to properly diagnose the problem.

Doctors often only recognize the presence of Candida (a yeast overgrowth) when it is visible like under fingernails or on feet or genitals. Only a select few recognize the possibility of it existing in the intestines. And this is where candida can do the most damage. Left unchecked, the yeast can turn into a fungus and release penetrating entities known as rhizoids that poke little holes in the walls of the intestines and send toxins into the blood stream that affect many different parts of the body. This is known as "leaky gut syndrome".

The yeast feeds off of the sugar in the bloodstream and also feeds off the cells of the body itself. In order to digest the sugar and the cells, it releases toxins into the bloodstream. These toxins attack the immune system making the body more vulnerable to disease, allergies and rashes.


Yeast is used in the making of all alcoholic beverages. It converts sugar into alcohol via a process known as fermentation. When there is a yeast overgrowth in your intestines, and food with a high sugar concentration like perhaps your favorite candy bar or a chocolate cake is introduced to it, the yeast has a feast and ferments out a nice cocktail in your body which often causes a feeling of intoxication or light-headiness after eating these high sugar foods.


So with no diagnosis of the real problem, doctors can only prescribe medicine and antibiotics that only eventually make the symptoms worse. This is because many of the anti fungus drugs used don't kill the fungus, they only slow down the growth of it.


Another problem is that it usually takes about ten years for the American Medical Association to approve of a systematic method for treating an uncommon disease. After many years and exhausting all their resources, sufferers of candida have turned to natural cures.


There are a select few herbalists that have discovered the right combination of herbal treatments that have wiped out the presence of candida of many patients and put an end to their suffering once and for all. These natural cures have done what the drugs and antibiotics could not. These natural formulas have been able bring the body back to a proper balance where yeast is no longer able to overgrow and turn into candida.

The most important thing you can do if you suspect you may have candida is to get tested for it by a health professional. Then, with your physician's okay, you may want to look into a natural solution to ridding yourself of this horrible condition and living a happier, healthier life the way you were meant to. And the nightmare of candida will be just that.
