Candidiasis
Candidiasis
or the overgrowth of candida albicans and other yeasts and molds in the
body has become a prevalent malady exhibiting many common symptoms including
fatigue and bloating.
This problem is mainly due to eating too much dietary sugar
and too many processed carbohydrate foods, exposure to certain medications (such
as antibiotics, steroidal drugs, and birth control pills) and possible exposure
to toxic minerals (such as mercury from dental amalgam fillings).
Enhancing immune function through anti-candida dietary changes,
nutritional supplements, and the elimination of toxics substances from the body
are cornerstones of our approach to dealing with this problem.
Restoring the normal, gut-friendly bacteria by dietary changes and the
use of supplements of these friendly bacteria or probiotics go a long way in
reducing the candida burden and bringing about long-term improvement.
Sometimes, bio-oxidative therapies,
such as intravenous
hydrogen peroxide therapy, help
to enhance immune functioning.
The
appropriate use of medications for bringing candidiasis under control may also
be necessary.
