Everyone has candida, a form of yeast (candida albicans), in their sytem. Normally candida is found in the gastrointestinal tract, the genital urinary tract and on the skin. If we are healthy and our immune systems are strong candida is innocuous (harmless) to us. Good bacteria known as bifidobacteria and acidophilus help to keep candida in check. It is only when our intestinal environment gets out of balance as a result of a compromised immune system or other factors like antibiotic use, high sugar intake, high alcohol intake, hormone therapy and stress that the candida has an opportunity to proliferate and become pathogenic. Once this happens candida can transform from a simple yeast into a much more aggressive fungus that can seriously compromise our health. We call this condition candidiasis.
