Candida Albicans
Also known as: Monilia; Thrush; Vaginal Thrush; Candidiasis; Yeast Infection
Description
Candida albicans inhabits all humans (in the Mouth, Throat, Intestine and Genital/Urinary Tract) but usually only in small amounts. 33% of the people in the Western world suffer from Candida albicans over-proliferation.
Immune System
If the Candida albicans Yeast is allowed to proliferate, it changes from its normal Yeast-Fungal form to a Mycelial-Fungal
form that produces Rhizoids:
Rhizoids are long, root-like components that are able to pierce the walls of the Digestive Tract and break down the
protective barriers between the Intestines and the Blood.
This "breaking-through" the barrier allows many Allergens to enter blood circulation, causing Allergic reactions.
These Allergens can cause further detriment if they break through the Blood-Brain barrier.
The Macrophages of the Immune System are capable of destroying Candida albicans.
Exogenous Substances
Amino Acids
Candida albicans destroys the body's Glutamine supplies.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants reduce the Free Radical damage caused by Candida albicans.
Beneficial Bacteria
Bifidobacteria bifidus recolonizes the Digestive Tract with beneficial Bacteria.
Lactobacillus acidophilus recolonizes the Digestive Tract's Beneficial Bacteria.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus recolonizes the Digestive Tract's Beneficial Bacteria.
Vitamins
Biotin decreases the proliferation of Candida albicans.
Candida albicans is an enemy of Vitamin C and supplemental Vitamin C counteracts the Vitamin C deficiency that can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
These Foods or Herbs Inhibit or Kill Candida Albicans
Active Constituents
Grapefruit Extract inhibits the growth of Candida albicans. It has Anti-Fungal properties.
Cinnamon inhibits the growth of Candida albicans.
Garlic is capable of totally eliminating Candida albicans from the human body [scientific research - mice - Kyolic form of Garlic most effective - other forms of garlic were barely effective -intravenous injection produces best results - method of operation appears to be via the stimulation of the phagocytic action of macrophages]
Neem Oil inhibits the growth of Candida albicans.
Pau D'Arco treats Candida albicans. Xyliodone
These Substances Exacerbate Candida albicans Amino Acids - Toxic
Candida albicans sufferers should avoid foods that contain Tyramine.
Carbohydrates
Candida albicans feeds on Simple Sugars so these Carbohydrates should be totally eliminated from the diet of people who suffer from Candida albicans proliferation.
Toxic Effects of Candida albicans Proliferation Candida albicans proliferation is very hard to detect by orthodox
methods and it is often only noticed by the layman when it affects the vaginal, oral or nail area.
Digestive System
Colitis can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Constipation can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Diarrhoea can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Candida causes the conversion of dietary Tyrosine to Tyramine (instead of its normal pathway to Dopamine).
Flatulence can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Halitosis is a symptom of Candida albicans infection.
White coated Tongue can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Excretory System
Cystitis can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Oedema can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Immune System
Candida albicans allows Allergens to enter the body's circulation and cause Allergies.
Candida albicans proliferation weakens the Immune System.
Sore Throat is a symptom of Candida albicans infection.
Nervous System
Anxiety can occur as a result of Candida-albicans proliferation.
Depression is a symptom of Candida infection.
Headaches can be a symptom of Candida albicans proliferation.
Irritability can be a symptom of Candida albicans proliferation.
Respiratory System
Asthma can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Sinusitis can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Sexual System - Female
Leucorrhea can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Pre-Menstrual Tension (PMT) can occur as a result Candida albicans proliferation.
Vaginitis can occur as a result of Candida albicans proliferation.
Yeasts
Detrimental Candida albicans proliferation disrupts the Beneficial Bacteria that normally reside in the Vagina - this can lead to Vaginitis (when Vaginitis is caused by Candida albicans, the resulting Vaginitis is often known as Thrush).
