Candida And Children

Nobody, especially children, are exempt from Candida overgrowth. Many or most children with ear or other infections are given antibiotics that set them up for a leaky gut, which allows allergens from milk, wheat and other foods to be absorbed. (Candida Yeast, William G. Crook, M.D.)

The explosive use of Ritalin or Prozac among all children is a growing matter of deep concern, as are their diets, which lack many essential nutrients. How can children be healthy when the bulk of their food consists of fabricated foods containing sugar, food coloring and hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats? Such diets are also deficient in magnesium, zinc and other nutrients that people need if their bodies and brains are to function properly. Pollutants in the air, food, soil and water also play a part, along with the burgeoning use of pesticides. All these scenarios create fertile environments for the proliferation of Candida overgrowth, and along with that, a lifetime of impairment in every area of their lives.
