Candida And Bacteria

Even though your bowel contains beneficial bacteria, unfavorable ('unfriendly') strains can be introduced through the overuse of antibiotics and improper diet and the foods you eat. It's not only the bacteria themselves that do harm, but their waste matter as well, that lodges in surrounding tissues. This creates an ideal breeding ground for harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses and causes an imbalance in bowel flora Jacqueline Krohn, M.D. Here's what just a few experts in the medical profession have to say:

• Toxins produced in a tissue invaded by Candida albicans may act as an immune-suppressant to impair host defense(William G. Crook, M.D.)
• Microforms, such as Candida, thrive in acidity! They love to swim in their own waste products*, and they love the low oxygen levels that come with acidity. If you need convincing about the importance of getting your body back to basics, try imagining your body swarming with mold and fungus. (Robert O. Young, Ph.D., D.Sc., Sick & Tired, The Etiology of Human Disease.)
• Candida is mankind's very serious biological threat, Majid Ali, M.D., Altered States of Bowel Ecology.
• Candida albicans is an insidious yeast infection which is growing in epidemic proportions (Stephen E. Langer, M.D, Solved: The Riddle of Illness.)
• An epidemic of Candida and yeast overgrowth has swept through our nation. When the bodys delicate balance of good bacteria and yeast.
• is out of balance, a host of symptoms can result, ranging from relatively simple GI disturbances, such as bloating, intestinal gas and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to major disturbances such as psoriasis, colitis and Crohn's disease. (Don Colbert, M.D., Toxic Relief)
• The improper balance of beneficial bacteria can cause problems, a condition also known as bowel dysbiosis.(Jacqueline Krohn, M.D., Natural Detoxification, The Complete Guide To Clearing Your Body of Toxins)

Candida is a fungus that normally inhabitants everyone's gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). When it's in balance, we need it. In balance Candida maintains a symbiotic relationship with others of the swarming life forms in our GI tract that produce important vitamins our bodies need. When Candida grows faster and more plentiful than it should, it supplants or overwhelms the "good" or "friendly flora". Then it becomes dangerous and inflames the intestines, both large and small, leading to Candida overgrowth. There are many noxious bacteria that can inhabit and proliferate in our bodies and wreak all sorts of havoc, such as, but not limited to the following:

• Gardia
• Clostridium botulinum
• Salmonella
• Escherichia coli (commonly called E. coli)
• Claviceps purpurea, and so on
• Ergot from breads
• Penicillin from cheeses

Where do they all come from, these bacteria, fungi and mold forms? They are found in stored grains and food of all kinds, but only in organic matter having no life energy. These mycotoxins are on the planet for a purpose. They invade and destroy all no-longer-living, dead and rotting plants and animals. If they did not do so, our land and our cities would soon be fouled with rotting, stinking waste matter. But when they invade the human body the negative results can be devastating.
