What is Candida Albicans?

Is there a cure for Candida Albicans?

Answer: Candida Albicans is a form of yeast we human beings seemingly have in our digestive system from birth, and are generally able to "control" it's presence through our "normal" food intake. When we deviate however through disease, stress, chemical influence or period of change in our lives then the balance is disturbed and this may manifest itself in the overgrowth of the gut's "natural" yeast content. Some yeast is always present in our digestive system but is kept in balance through a diet which maintains correct acid/alkaline characteristics. The disturbance thus caused is perpetuated by diets dominated by high sugar intake which the "yeast" demands to maintain it's presence as well as the yeast containing foods as well as the fungal foods, like mushrooms, cheese, milk and soy sauce.

My experience and desire to find a cure once I discovered that I "had" this problem, has taken a number of years, lost business, friends and lifestyle as the impact on the individual who "suffers" from this is without doubt a major factor in handling our day to day lives. Most people who have a health related issue would view their Doctor as the "natural" means to arriving at an answer for such a problem but the response I was given suggested they were unable to help and I'd "have to live with it". So seeking assistance became one of self research and diagnosis, something I found was not agreed as acceptable since it takes the role of medical advice into the realm of the untrained practitioner and may also open the door to the unscrupulous.

Other directly and not totally dissimilar digestive diseases are Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcers and Indigestion. I would suggest that as a first port of call you refer to the book on my list below by Gudrun Jonsson, "Gut Reaction". Then sample the array of Candida specific titles which offer advice on diet and general digestive health connected with restoring your intestinal balance and self esteem which literally takes a battering through the impact of it's debillitating effects.

My Personal Record of How Candida Arrived (Invaded) In My Life

A Short History of Tummy Aches and Post Surgery Antibiosis

From an early age I can recall having a "dodgy" tummy with a distinct memory consisting of waking in the morning and having a feeling in my stomach of a pain. Doctors would sometimes be called in to examine but after a few prods round my lower abdomen they would smile and laugh off the possibility of anything seriously wrong and it was just the beginnings of my ongoing relationship with hypochondria that continues to this day. Living with an ex-nurse for the last 19 years hasn't dampened or altered my general outlook on health and I get short shrift when it comes to anything approaching a cure for my ills when they present themselves at the best of times.

I had overall never been troubled by anything more serious than flu and the mainstream kind of illnesses that afflict the human population and until 1992 could honestly say I had remained in "perfect" health for the most part. That year however was to change my life and the discovery of a benign pituitary tumour in the middle of my head came with a bolt like sense to my general outlook on life, work and health. The Endocrine Specialist who managed my hospitalisation during this period couldn't give me any particular reason for the cause and was only able to deal with the cessation of the dysfunction that had been present for some time leading up to it's discovery through a head X-ray that revealed the cause of the pain I experienced just above my nasal passage and behind my eyes at times.
