CANDIDIASIS Candidiasis is better known as yeast bacteria or yeast infection. Many allergenic reactions and disease syndromes are caused by this friendly bacteria which is a saprophytic bacteria that belongs in the small intestines, not in the blood stream. When this bacteria exists in the blood stream it feeds on undigested protein. Not carbohydrates, as has been taught in the past. In the small intestine, its function seems to be one that causes “B” vitamins to be absorbed into the blood stream. These vitamins are then used by the liver and all the organs of the body and are very essential to each of their functions. Without them the total body suffers. This may be the reason so many patients have a complex of symptoms when candida albicans are a problem in the bloos stream. The time element involved in the overall damage done by the yeast bacteria takes many years to develop and the result of their destruction to appear in the way of symptoms of the patient takes many years as well too. Since the advent of antibiotics and steroids such as birth control pills and cortisone, the symptoms relating to candida have become better known to the general public. Symptoms relating to candida such as arthritis, lupus, MS, hives, hormonal problems, skin rashes, athletes feet, headaches, PMS, mood swings, poor memory, fatigue, depression, anxiety, allergies, urinary tract infections, vaginitis, prostatitis, waking up tired in the morning, SAD disease, chronic fatigue syndrome and many other symptoms are very common among patients who have candida in their blood stream. Dr. William Odds from England has reported that there are over one-hundred and fifty forms of candida in existence in the body. Many of these change forms (pleomorphic) when they are in the blood stream, such as the mycelia form which becomes very destructive. It has been observed by this author that the spore form of candida (round buds) have been seen to tear both white blood and red blood cells apart by invading the cell walls. This allows the bacteria that has been collected by the white blood cell to be dumped back into the blood stream. This may be the cause for so much skin toxicity when patients have candida, a very common symptom. This event begins the breakdown and destruction of the immune system. If this destruction is allowed to continue, ultimate fatigue of the adrenal gland system will result. The adrenal glands aid in the formation of red blood cells by their involvement with the bone marrow. The constant destruction of these cells also fatigues the spleen. When candida invades the spleen and gall bladder, lupus-like symptoms are often produced. The only way to control candida is to follow a fundamental principle of microbiology and that is to control its food supply. If there is no food supply in the blood stream, candida cannot survive. It must have food if it is to live and reproduce. Since it is an asexual reproducer, it does not need any more than a friendly environment to reproduce itself. Sweets, fructose, sugars, gluten, vinegers, and any fermenting agent will enhance he reproduction of candida albicans. To restrict any of the above mentioned substances, accelerates the removal of candida from the blood stream. As long as there is food available for candida in the blood stream, it will continue to destroy the red and white blood cells. The use of proteolytic enzymes on an empty stomach (two hours after meals) will remove the food supply that the candida is feeding on. The use of enzymes before meals will prevent the undigested protein from getting into the blood stream. It is important to use these specific enzymes before meals anytime you are eating cooked food. If it is raw salad or vegetables, the enzyme intake before meals is unnecessary. In order to maintain a healthy environment in the blood, meats and foods that contain steroids and antibiotics must be avoided. Most commercial beef and chicken contain steroids and antibiotics which are given to the animals to lengthen their lives and to make them ready for the market faster. These two substances are responsible for the candida leaving the candida leaving the small intestine in the first place. As previously mentioned the candida belongs in the small intestine where it has a job to do. It is not necessary to kill the bacteria since it is a friendly one. The orthodox approach has been to use nystatin, an antifungal antibiotic which kills the bacteria in the alimentary canal. This procedure is not necessary since candida is needed to take care of the absorption of the “B” vitamins. One of the inherent problems associated with yeast-like bacteria has been that when the candida ferments, splits and multiplies, a by-product called acid-aldehyde is produced. We know this better as alcohol. This residue in the blood accounts for the fact thst candida patients become very sensitive to aldehyde odors. This includes formaldehyde products such as insulation in the walls of many of our homes, fingernail polish, ammonia, paints, and many other aldehyde derived products causes an allergic reaction with candida patients. When the aldehydes are removed from the blood stream and the candida is back in the small intestine, a patient generally is relieved of many different diseases syndromes that are involved or associated with immune system compromise.
