Major Cause!

Major Cause of Candidiasis is a Lack of Friendly Bacteria

Friendly bacteria are absolutely essential for the care and healthy condition of the intestinal wall and the digestive chamber atmosphere.  These enhance proper digestion, assimilation and elimination of the food we eat.  These little friendly bacteria keep the intestines clean of mucus and debris and they fight and destroy invading microorganisms, including Candida yeast fungi .  They keep down the unfriendly bacteria, yeasts and other parasites that do harm to the mucous membranes and make us ill.

If you have healthy intestines, there are approximately two to three pounds of friendly flora permanently live there.  Very few people have proper amounts of these bacterial cultures, and obviously the typical American diet combined with medicines and chemicals lower their population.  We can't live without good bacteria in our digestive tract.  The key to the success of a yeast recovery program is removing the yeast, replenishing the micro-flora that continually supports our intestines and providing the body with nutrition needed to function properly.

The major purpose of the friendly bacteria is the production of the lactic acid, acidophilus and a natural form of antibiotic which sterilize and prevent the overgrowth of most negative microorganisms.  Natural secretions of antibiotics from the intestinal flora help prevent Candida yeast overgrowth.  The bacterial cultures maintain the proper acid-alkaline balance in the intestines which is absolutely essential for the chemical assimilation of nutrients and the mechanical absorption of food.

There are many varieties of bacteria living in our bodies and there are several different strains in an infant when it is born. After about the age of three, there are two strains that take over, Lacto bacillus acidophilus which lives in the small intestines and Bifido bacterium bifidum which lives in the colon or large intestine.

Friendly bacteria create a slight acidic condition in order to survive which, in this case, is to our benefit.  Peristaltic movement in the intestines is initiated by an acid medium and cultures help to provide the proper transit time for digestion of food. The acid secretions of friendly bacteria are also a natural antiseptic.

The colon is the most negative part of the body, and without cultures to keep it clean and moving, we can easily develop colon pockets, diverticuli, polyps, fecal impaction's, colon cancer, ulcers, colitis , constipation, diarrhea, hemroids, bloated conditions and foul gas.

Some of the common varieties of negative bacteria which live in the colon are latent or inactive.  When the body is weakened by disease or stress, these negative bacteria can become active and invasive, and this may cause an existing disease or condition to become worse.  This simply cannot happen with normal amounts of friendly bacteria living within the intestines.  They are there for a purpose, just as friendly bacteria are in the soil in order to help plants and trees.  Without living bacteria in the soil, plants cannot grow and the land would become barren.  Friendly bacteria are essential for life.  Less than 10% of the human population has enough flora to support what we would call excellent health.

Why do we not have enough micro flora? , you might ask yourself. In the 1950's pesticides dawned our planet, as progressive, to manage pests in farming. This was a detriment to our health and the quality of food for many generations to come. Today, our foods are not bacteria laden, which would be preferable, since this is how our foods were created to nourish our digestive tract. Our foods are no longer (bacteria) cultured, and when they are, this healthy process is followed with pasteurization, such as with Sauerkraut, butter milk. Even our milk is pasteurized to kill the enzymes and healthy bacteria naturally present. So, are you beginning to understand that daily consumption of good bacteria was provided in the food sources, for all of mankind, until the 1950's? We are not eating it daily in our foods; therefore, it is necessary to intentionally consume a broad spectrum probiotic (good bacteria).

Vitamins are synthesized or manufactured in the intestinal tract by friendly flora.  They can produce B vitamins out of the food we eat, and can transform one B vitamin into another. An important nutrient that microflora encourages is the production of is vitamin K, which is necessary for blood clotting.  Almost all the B vitamins, such as niacin, biotin, B-6 and B-12, folic acid and even B-2 are synthesized form our food when the friendly flora are maintained.  Fatigue and emotional instability are caused by a lack of B vitamins. Prevention of falling hair requires biotin, and the manufacture of red blood cells requires B-12 and folic acid. Oh how complicated our health can become, when the body is not properly nourished!

The ultimate role of friendly bacteria play is to overcome and remove negative microornisms, which include Candida.  Candida is present everywhere in our environment and it always exists in our intestines in small quantities.  If there is not enough friendly flora to keep it under control, Candida yeast will grow at a tremendous rate and eventually take over and dominate the intestines and create havoc.  The only way to reverse this growth is with a product to remove the excess yeast and  introducing friendly bacteria cultures over a period of time.  Name any intestinal problem, and more than likely, it will be caused or made worse by a lack of friendly bacteria.

When the lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidum bacterium are attacked by antibiotics, birth control pills and other chemicals such as the chlorine in water, they die very quickly.  Candida grows and can change into the mycelized fungal form almost immediately.

Wide spectrum antibiotics like penicillin and tetracycline can kill friendly bacteria.  In a matter of weeks or even days after antibiotic treatment, a rapid growth of yeast cells may occur, and can linger for life if left untreated especially if one eats food that contain antibiotic and steroid residues such as non-organic poultry eggs, meat and milk.

A common misunderstanding among people who have the false feeling that Candida is gone after some natural or medical treatment is that they are now completely well and the Candida will never return.  This cannot happen.  If ample amounts of friendly cultures have not been introduced, and are continually introduced, the intestinal environment is still ripe for Candida overgrowth. And since good bacteria is not abundantly present in our foods, even organic foods, it is necessary to intentionally consume them every day in the form of a supplement!
