What Is Candida?
Candida is the short name used to describe a yeast or fungal overgrowth within the body. Candida normally lives in all mucus membranes in the body, i.e. ears, eyes, nose, sinuses, mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, intestines, bladder, lungs, vagina, etc. It is one of the billions of friendly organisms that serve a useful purpose in the body.
One of Candida’s important functions is to recognize and destroy harmful bacteria and toxins.
However, under certain conditions Candida changes from a friendly organism into an overgrowing monster that causes a great deal of damage throughout the body. That is because Candida produces over 79 different kinds of chemicals that are designed to break the body down, which nature only intends to happen when the body dies.
When Candida starts to overgrow while the body is still alive the toxins it produces causes tremendous damage throughout the body resulting in numerous symptoms, diseases, illnesses, malfunctioning organs, and many debilitating conditions throughout the body.
These toxins also cause emotional and mental problems such as anxiety, depression, an inability to concentrate, etc.
