1BChapter 2 – All About Candida Yeast Infection 17 As long as our system has the proper acid-alkaline balance (more on that later), our immune system is strong enough and our probiotic friendly bacteria (such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, B. bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus and L. salivarius) are greater in relation to the number of Candida microorganisms, Candida is kept under control. It’s only when our internal system is compromised that the perfect environment for Candida overgrowth develops. This is due to either toxic buildup (in the bowels, blood, lymph or kidneys), loss of friendly bacteria (due to the use of prescription drugs, antibiotics or chlorine, for example), weakened immune system, over-acidity in the digestive system and a diet high in toxic foods, refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, white rice) and low in fresh fruit and vegetables. Candida overgrowth is in fact a condition that derives from an inner state of imbalance where Candida albicans transform from a simple, harmless and non-invasive yeast form to a mycelial fungal form that invades the rest of your body. When Candida shifts from yeast to fungal form, it produces root-like structures called rhizoids that penetrate the intestinal walls and create holes in the walls of the intestines. This enables the yeast, toxic waste, bacteria and undigested food to enter the blood stream. This causes many unpleasant to chronic and dangerous conditions such as leaky gut syndrome, food intolerance, rashes, brain fog and irritation, itching, swelling and inflammation or white discharge around the vagina (vaginal yeast infection) or around the penis area. When yeast transforms into fungal form, it produces two very toxic substances – ethanol and acetaldehyde. These two dangerous toxins negatively impact the functionality of our cells. For example, the red blood cells find it difficult to flow into small capillaries, which can result in fatigue, migraines and muscle aches. In turn, the white blood cells have difficulty in fighting infection, which can result in allergies, rashes, acn e and slowing of the healing process.
