Cause and Effect

Overgrowth of Candida results in the condition known as "Candidiasis," which commonly produces localized symptoms by invading the tissues of the mouth, gastrointestinal tracts, vaginal area, urinary tract, prostate gland, skin, fingernails and toenails.  Normally , a healthy immune system controls Candida levels.  However, circumstances may occur that can permit an excessive yeast overgrowth, such as prolonged use of antibiotics, medicines, steroids, birth control pills and excessive sugar intake. (Candida loves sugar)

The major waste product of yeast cell activity is ACETALDEHYDE.  Candida can multiply very quickly and after many years of growth, the buildup of acetaldehyde toxins can be overwhelming to the body tissues.  The poison is transformed into ethanol and converted by the liver to alcohol.  This depletes the body of magnesium and potassium which reduces cell energy.  These two minerals are absolutely essential for tissue strength and integrity.

Candida is an incredible destroyer of health and is the main missing link in many of our modern day diseases and sub-health conditions.  The fact that Candida can rob the body of its nutrition and poison the tissues with its toxins is a major contribution, directly or indirectly to the following list of possible serious conditions/symptoms:
 

Fibromyalgia

Many people who suffer with Fibromyalgia & CFS have many of the symptoms listed above. They are unaware what serious effects Candida/parasites can have on your system.  Over all body pain can come and go due to the fact that Candida/parasites secrete toxins, which will curl the nerve endings causing painful joints and muscles.

Moveable Symptoms

The majority of vaginal and sinus yeast infections are caused by circulating toxins in the blood from the Candida feeding in the intestines.  One of the most interesting observations about a yeast infection is the appearance of moveable symptoms.  You may have a pain or discomfort or possibly a burning sensation somewhere in the lower or upper abdomen for a certain period of time such as a few minutes or even an hour or two.  Then it will disappear and show up somewhere else in a different part of the body.  It might start in the stomach area or the shoulder or lower back or even in an arm or neck area.  Then, a little later it will move to another place in the body and possibly keep moving from area to area.  Then disappear Completely, but only to reappear later after eating or may not come back until the next day.

Systemic Degeneration

Candida is a negative Yeast infection that begins in the digestive system and little by little spreads to other parts of the body.  It is a strong invasive parasite that attaches itself to the intestinal wall and becomes a permanent resident of your internal organs.  It is causing numerous health problems and discomfort for over 30 million men and women in the US every day and is estimated that nearly everyone has or will have a moderate to serious Candida condition eventually in their lives.
An autopsy done on a women  who had died of heart failure for no apparent reason, found that her heart was totally encased with Candida yeast.  Vaginal yeast infections are more prevalent today than ever, and they will never completely go away until the yeast has been cleared systemically from the intestinal area and blood stream.  To make matters worse, Candida can be sexually transmitted from one person to another or be made worse because semen is high in fructose.  Candida symptoms to look for: Dark bags under the eyes, pinkness around each fingernail, coated tongue - usually a slimy white or yellowish coating on tongue, sores or redness around mouth called oral "thrush", vaginal sores and itching, fungus under fingernails & toenail, rashes that come and go and appear in different areas and gas & bloating.  To detect Candida you can have a stool test taken.
