Yeast Infections from Candida overgrowth: The candida albicans organism is one which occurs naturally in the digestive system. The balance of different bowel organisms sometimes gets out of hand, and this can cause a wide range of distressing conditions.
The condition of candida overgrowth can include some or all of the following symptoms: memory loss, dizziness, recurring ear infection, ringing in the ears, swollen glands, weakness of the lungs with recurring colds, blurred or cloudy vision, yeast infection, constipation or stools which are too loose, eczema, migraines, sleeplessness, restlessness, arthritic pain and depression.
The over-growth of candida albicans happens when one’s immune system becomes weakened. This can sometimes happen if the person has been traumatized by some event, but very often the cause of candida albicans becoming a problem is because of auto-intoxication resulting from eating a bad diet which is deficient in green vegetables and which contains too much processed and preserved food.
But it can also happen when one is suddenly exposed to environmental factors such as radiation, or chemicals which are hazardous to the health, like farm herbicides and insecticides and domestic poisons like rat poison and cochroach killer.
Even using products like bleach too frequently, or bath and shower cleaners, can cause an immediate imbalance in the bowel flora. This is because the bleach is absorbed into the skin, fumes through the lungs, and from those organs goes straight into the blood.
Bleach fumes are also taken into the mouth which affects the quality of your saliva immediately, making it excessively alkaline. This affects digestion and encourages candida infection.
Heavy metal poisoning such as mercury or lead poisoning, and asbestos poisoning, can leave the immune system severely weakened so that candida albicans can take control.
Candida infection can occur if one is exposed over a period of time to radiation such as that from cell-phones, or electricity transformers and high tension electricity wires which are too close in proximity for the body to be able to function normally. Radiation, which will lower your immunity, also kills off the beneficial bacteria in the bowel just as quickly as farm and domestic poisons do.
A diet too high in sugar will cause candida: even if the diet favours sweet fruit over eating green vegetables, then candida can result because of excessive sugar intake. Wheat flour is problematic because it is absorbed as sugar too quickly into the blood stream. Eating too many yeast products can cause candida, especially if the diet is lacking green vegetables, oils, and protein. Yeast products, especially bread, should be avoided.
Generally, if the the body is cleared of toxins, then candida should not be a problem. But sometimes it can take a long time to rebuild the immune system after it has been shaken, especially if the body has been exposed to prolonged periods of damaging environmental conditions.
