Candida and how it effects so many of us.

www.bodybynature.co.uk

Candida (technically called Candida albicans) is a microorganism in the category of yeast, fungi and mold. It is normal for it to live in small amounts in the digestive system and on other body surfaces. However, under certain circumstances it will invade into deeper tissues and organs where it doesn’t belong, such as the liver and kidneys, and become very abundant. Once it gets that far, it entrenches itself as fungi do (think of how hard it can be to get rid of athlete’s foot or a fungal toenail). The yeast produces certain chemicals and affects cell functions in ways that create many symptoms, some of which can become serious.

The term “Candida” refers to the general overgrowth of various fungi and yeasts in the body, which flourish under certain circumstances to the point of causing illness. Candida albicans appears to be the most prominent of these microbes.

Candida depression

One of the top three symptoms of Candida overgrowth is depression. Depression can be felt or described in a number of ways:

• Sadness
• Lack of interest in things that used to be interesting, exciting or important to you
• Irritability and negativity; everything bothers you
• Inability to feel happiness or pleasure, or inability to feel much of anything
• Pessimism, hopelessness and anxiety
• Fear for the future

Candida migraine headaches

	"Migraine" – the word that headache sufferers fear, the name for the worst kind of headache. While research has had a difficult time finding any clear explanation for the cause of migraines, clinical experience has recently shown that there is a clear migraine – yeast infection or Candida connection.
