Candida - Yeast gone wild.
What is it
and what causes it?
Symptoms and Diet.
Many
women suffer from candida and some men also.
Once candida takes hold, it is a challenging
journey to control and eliminate candida, but
with discipline and determination it can be
done.
What is candida?
It is yeast gone wild
inside the body.
Excessive
yeast will weaken and exhaust the immune system,
predisposing the body to serious illnesses and
disease, such as leaky gut syndrome and cancer.
Candida changes normal yeast in the intestinal
tract, to a pathogenic fungus. The fungus creates
excessive toxicity that will affect the way every
organ, tissue, and cell functions. Systemic Candida
occurs when fungal Candida has spread throughout the
body.

Home Test for possible Candida:
In the morning, before you put
anything in your mouth, fill a clear glass with
room temperature water.
Work up some saliva, and spit it into the glass of
water.
Check the water every 15 minutes or so.
If you see
'strings' moving downwards into the water from the
saliva floating on the top, or cloudy, suspended
particle specks, or cloudy saliva that sinks to the
bottom of the glass, you may have a candida problem,
or other serious health problems.
Signs of a healthy body:
1) Daily bowel movements.
2) Urine should be
pale yellow to clear.
3) pH balance
