Candida albicans: what is it?

Candida, Bacteria, Allergy, Immune system

Do you suffer from bloating, sugar cravings,allergies, fatigue, ibs?

If the answer is yes you may be one of the thousands of people suffering from an overgrowth of Candida. Candida Albicans, to give it its full name is an unfriendly bacteria found in everyone's gut. It appears to do us no harm as long as it is kept under control. Unfortunately, several things are happening in this day and age which encourages it to grow stronger, usually when the friendly bacteria is depleted, causing the candida to grow unchecked and change its form into a mycelia fungus which puts down roots and spreads rapidly. These roots are able to penetrate the intestinal wall allowing partially digested food, toxic waste etc, to enter the blood stream resulting in allergy sensitivities and continual drain on the immune system. That's when the trouble begins.

I have found that over 85% of people with candida or ME are Geopathically Stressed, please visit my Dowsing and GS Site to see if this might affect you.
