There
are trillions of bacteria living in our digestive tract, and they make
up the normal “micro-flora.” These bacteria generally play a supportive
role in the health of the colon by synthesising vitamins, degrading
toxins and producing natural antibiotics. Under the right conditions,
however, these bacteria can overgrow and cause diseases.
Candida Albican is a typical
example. They are found in the female genital tract, oral cavity,
intestines, skin and other organs. The main focus for this discussion
is the proliferation of Candida in the intestinal tract called the
intestinal candidiasis.
Intestinal candidiasis is becoming a
global health challenge, as doctors theorise the Candida or other fungi
infections have contributed to the development of some forms of cancer.
Studies done by Meinolf Kartars in 1999 showed that a child with
leukemia went into remission after being given a triple dose of
anti-fungi medicine.
In 1997, Mark Bielski stated that
leukemia was associated with yeast and Candida albican. Studies have
also shown that Africans, women, babies and people with low immunity are
more likely to get Candida.
The following are the factors that can lead to intestinal candidiasis:
Diet
These fungi feed on refined
carbohydrates and sugar, which allow them to multiply and take over the
intestine. These sugars can be found in sweet fruits, chocolate and
other sugary diets. Overeating, leading to food congestion, may also
lead to intestinal Candida.
Antibiotics
The misuse and abuse of antibiotics has led to fungi overgrowth.
Environmental toxins
Heavy metal toxicity like copper,
mercury, cadmium and lead has been shown to cause intestinal Candida.
The commonest sources of these metals are fish eating, unfiltered water
and polluted air.
Again, adrenal imbalance, infertility and other disorders, including inadequate minerals, can also cause Candida.
Deficiency of minerals like zinc and
selenium interferes with immune function. Just as excessive alcohol
consumption and lack of vitamin B complex can lead to a weak, toxic,
congested liver. The end result is intestinal Candida.
Other factors are steroid therapy.
Another is vegetarian diet, which is deficient, being low in zinc and
high in copper. Sedentary lifestyle and stress also contribute to
intestinal candidiasis.
Others are hormone therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, contraceptives and allergy treatments.
Appearance
Candida Albican is an organism
that appears in two forms — the bud-like form and the mycelia form. The
bud-like form is found in small amounts in the mouth, digestive tract,
genitals and on the skin of healthy individuals. At this stage, it is
considered a communal inhabitant not capable of causing any health
problems.
If given a favourable condition,
however, it has the ability to change from the bud form to a mycelia
form, with filaments able to infiltrate the intestinal mucosa, multiply
like cancer cells, and feed on the putrefied crustifications on the
inflamed intestinal walls and pouches. Over time, this penetration can
perforate the gut walls, causing leaky gut syndrome as intestinal
content begins to seep into the blood and body tissue, causing disease
conditions.
It also releases toxic substance like
acetaldehyde, which produces ethanol and free radicals that also damage
the DNA, reduce iron absorption, leading to malabsorption and depressed
immune system. It can also metamorphose to cancer cells in extreme
condition.
Intestinal Candida can also present as
white-coated tongue, painful muscles and joints, chronic fatigue, weight
gain, chronic ear, nose and throat infections, chronic constipation,
chronic sinusitis, gastritis, abdominal bloating and discomfort,
flatulence, high cholesterol, hormonal imbalance, autoimmune disease,
skin problems, chronic diarrhoea, depression and mental dullness.
The diagnosis and treatment of
intestinal Candida is quite difficult, as testing the blood for Candida
does not show the extent of the infection. A lot of things have been
done over the years to diagnose and treat intestinal Candida, but all to
no avail.
When you wake up first thing in the
morning and spit into a clear glass of water, the saliva will first
float on the water. If a sticky, cloudy substance then flows down the
water, you may be having Candida.
The good news is that Mayr Medicine
treatment protocol in Mart-Life Detox Clinic, through body
detoxification (process of removing toxins from the body) has
successfully treated lots of cases of intestinal Candida, using advanced
technology to diagnose and treat it.
Complications of intestinal candidiasis
The following complications can occur
following poorly treated and untreated intestinal candidiasis: Chronic
fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, prostate problem, urinary
dysfunction, brain fog, severe depression, chronic diarrhoea and
constipation and food allergies.
Detoxification, however, helps to
improve overall health and vitality, increase energy levels, improve
digestion, reduce weight/risk of disease and chronic condition
associated with intestinal Candida.
Generally, detoxification leaves you renewed, rejuvenated and is known to prolong life.
