Candida albicans is one of the most commonly encountered human pathogens, causing a wide variety of infections ranging from mucosal infections in generally healthy persons to life-threatening systemic infections in individuals with impaired immunity. Oral and esophogeal Candida infections are frequently seen in AIDS patients. Few classes of drugs are effective against these fungal infections, and all of them have limitations with regard to efficacy and side-effects.If someone tells you he has a "natural" way of eliminating this by herbs or diet or cleansing, you should check yourself for a smoky colon.
I went from chronically ill with raging migraines, digestive problems, debilitating fatigue (they originally diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia) to power cleaning my house in just 3 weeks. Just a few weeks ago, we were talking about fire-saling our house and moving closer to family to help take care of me; now, I'm caught up at work again, my house is spotless again, I'm cooking for my family again, and making plans to build a deck in our side yard.
I kid you not, it was life-altering. The doc was thrilled that I rebounded so quickly, but I've stayed true to the diet and not cheated even once.
Don't know where it started; I had a premature abruption and emergency C-section, so I could have picked it up in the hospital. The onset of symptoms seems to have coincided with my daughter's delivery, and accelerated slowly over time.
I'm just sorry I wasted years chasing symptoms, instead of getting to the cause. I lost a lot of time with my kids.
