So what's happen over the last 60 years that has driven up rates of candida overgrowth?
1. In the 1950's antibiotics hadn't been around a long time.
Their use was relatively small back then compared to now.
Antibiotics work only on bacteria, not virus or not most Yeast.
But they will also kill your friendly bacteria along with bad bacteria. Yet not yeast.
At least not most of them. When your friendly bacteria are killed off, and the candida yeast in your intestines aren't, the candida yeast have a lot of room to overgrow, and they will.
2. Antibiotics are now fed in huge quantities to cattle on feedlots and in dairies, meat pigs, and non organic meat chickens. Many of these antibiotics make their way into the meat or the milk they produce, and you consume them when you eat non-organic animal protein. This chronically reduces the amount of friendly bacteria in your intestines. BAD!
3. Sugar and refined carbohydrate consumption has surged since the 1950's and these are Candida's favorite foods. Candida loves sweets! These refined carbohydrates also reduce the amount of friendly bacteria you have. This creates an imbalance of too few friendly bacteria and too much candida. Sugar also weakens the immune system, and the immune system can't keep do as good a job of keeping candida in check.
4. There has been a huge increase in exposure to other drugs, especially birth control pills, most vaccines, pesticides, herbicides, chemicals and more, over this time frame. The candida yeast do a better job of surviving this onslaught of toxins than your friendly bacteria did.
In addition, the environment in your body, including the immune system response, was weakened.
All of this ultimately destroys much of the friendly flora and weakens the immune system so that the oxygen-loving candida yeast begin to flourish and overgrow in the intestinal tract. At this time they put on their traveling legs and morph into anaerobic candida fungi. No longer needing an oxygen-rich blood supply, the fungi are able to exist anywhere in the body.
Candida Overgrowth in Babies!
The worst cases of candida overgrowth may not involve antibiotics at all. These are the cases where a baby picks up candida from its mother as it is being born.
Babies are supposed to pick up the mother's friendly flora in the birth canal to jump start the development of their friendly flora. If their mother has candida overgrowth, the baby picks up candida fungi instead of friendly bacteria.
{Not your best situation yet very common today!}
Having an immature immune system and barely any friendly bacteria to fight candida, the baby basically enters the world with candida overgrowth. If born via C-section, the baby is still likely to pick up candida from nursing, from kissing, from sharing food.
Not only does this set them up for the many chronic health issues that candida can cause if it is allowed to overgrow, it also makes the baby much more likely to develop autism or any of the autism spectrum disorders. Especially if the baby also receives vaccinations as these are highly toxic, and again, the baby is not able to eliminate toxins efficiently if suffers from candida overgrowth. It is already too toxic.
As more and more women develop candida, more and more babies will be born with it. Fortunately, it is much easier to eliminate in infants than in adults.
Candida Fungal Overgrowth Spreads Throughout Your Body
Initially, candida fungi are overgrown in the intestinal tract. There, the toxic waste they chemically produce (acetylaldahyde, the same chemical that causes a hangover), irritates and weakens the intestinal wall. Candida fungi have tiny "legs" which, as the intestinal wall becomes damaged, are able to "drill" holes in the intestinal wall, leading to poor digestion and "leaky gut syndrome".
These holes enable candida to travel throughout the body, over time establishing themselves systemically. They can colonize organs, your brain, any place that may have a weakened environment making it an easy target to colonize. Depending on where these weaknesses are, candida produces different symptoms as it colonizes different areas in each person..
As they don't need oxygen, they can move out of the circulation system to spots where the immune system, herbs and other candida killers cannot get to. This protects them from candida killers which may reduce candida overgrowth in spots with good circulation -- and enable candida to spread back into those spots once you stop the candida killing program.
It's The Environment Inside Your Body
That Must Be Brought Back To Health
The toxins candida produce cause your body to become more acidic. This results in poor oxygenation. The immune system becomes weaker as it fights an ongoing and losing battle against candida overgrowth. Plus it is also responsible for helping to eliminate toxins, so becomes overworked in yet another way.
The candida have created an environment in the body that ensures their survival. It doesn't help that the typical foods we eat create this same, too acidic environment, with low oxygenation. And feed candida to boot. Or that all the toxins and chemicals we are exposed to do the same. They may not feed the candida, but they create a candida favorable environment.
So it doesn't usually do much good when you take a candida killer, or a bunch of them. Or even probiotics. Unless you are also working to repair the environment, to get the immune system working better. Those herbs or drugs kill a bunch of candida, but don't change the environment, and the remaining candida, the ones hiding out -- out of circulation and the oxygenation zones in your body -- grow back into the same spots where the candida had been killed.
The relief to the immune system when a bunch of candida have been killed may be enough to keep the candida in check for some time. Maybe not. But even if it is, down the road it will weaken from its constant battle against candida. And your candida symptoms show up again, and will be harder to get rid of the second or third time around.
You've got to be working on the overall environment, supporting the immune system so that it can stay on top of the candida, you need to be dealing with the candida in those hard to get at spots, and you need to be dealing with candida spores so that they don't bloom again when the time is right.
