In fact, studies have linked this seemingly innocent health issue to many serious health issues, including cancer. Candida fungal infections are much more than what many consider as a yeast infection, commonly regarded as a “woman’s issue”.
Fact: Men are carriers of yeast candida as well and reinfect their partners through sexual intercourse.
So much so that doctors are starting to call this a “Silent Epidemic.”
Now, I know what you are thinking…
“What are the symptoms of a Candida (yeast) infection?”.
Candida fungal infection actually causes so many symptoms, it will make your head spin! One thing that really surprises people about Candida is how many lives it affects (even without the cancer link). It does this by robbing us of our energy and joy of life.
In fact, many aches and pains you regularly suffer from are caused by Candida, and will disappear when you cleanse yourself of this invasive fungus. The estimation is that 80% of the population suffers from a Candida (yeast) fungus infection. That is a staggering 200 MILLION people in the United States. We have treated many folks over the years who have overcome debilitating depression and fatigue by cleansing them of the Candida that had grown out of control inside of them. The sad things is that you may be one of so many people affected by this, and don’t even know it.
The first step is to be able to recognize the symptoms of a Systemic Candida (Yeast) Fungal infection. I know when you read the following you may be skeptical and say ‘oh, but these symptoms can be caused by many different things’. And yes, you would be right. A quick search on medical website or wiki for will show over 100 different symptoms that can be expressed in someone with candida. They will not have all the symptoms, as the symptoms change dramatically depending on where the fungal colony has settled in the body. For example, expression of depression and psychological symptoms are generally related to the fungus being located in the brain. The initial stages of a Candida infection will very often involve the gut, mouth and urinary tract.
Most common symptoms that indicate a Candida infection are:
- Sore throat
- Bloating
- Gas
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Earache
However, once the infection has reached the bloodstream, it can travel all around the body to other vital systems. These include the brain, the reproductive system, the nervous system, and more.
As the infection becomes more widespread the symptoms become more varied and include:
- Sugar and alcohol cravings, as well as cravings for carbohydrate rich foods (such as bread, pasta, rice, etc.)
- Migraines
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Skin Tags
- Foggy thinking
- Itching
- Acne
- Hyperactivity
- Sinus inflammation
- Irritability
- Dizziness
- Low sex drive
- Earache
- Skin infections (such as athlete’s foot)
- Chronic pain
- Muscle weakness
- Eczema
- Psoriasis
- Rosacea
- Many forms of Arthritis
- Gout
- Metabolic Syndrome
- Leaky Bowel Syndrome
- IBS
- Crohn's disease
- High Blood pressure
- ADD, ADHD
- Alzheimer's Disease
- Parkinson's Disease
- Obesity
- Obesity related diseases
Doctors will urge you to take action quickly if you have a Candida infection to prevent serious complications, because it has the potential to harm the delicate systems of your body and create long-term damage. So now you know exactly what is at stake if Candida is allowed to run free in your body.
Thankfully, the solution is simple. But the key is to avoid delay, as some of the damage caused by Candida can be permanent. See, the fungus can sit dormant in your body for years, waiting to flare up again, and it almost always does eventually!
The best solution is to eliminate sugar and starchy carbohydrates from you diet completely and load your body with probiotics. The key to controlling Candida is keeping the healthy bacteria in control of your digestive system. It is crucial that you have no less than an 80/20 ratio of good bacteria to bad. Avoiding sugars and processed foods is a good start but you must consume the healthy bacteria in order to get back in balance. Natural Yogurt (with no sugar) and fermented foods are an excellent choice to help rebuild your 80/20 Ratio of good bacteria to bad. If you are experiencing Candida overgrowth and suffering from one or more of the symptoms I mentioned above I highly suggest a probiotic like ImmuniPro.
