I look healthy but I feel sick……..Could it be Candida?

Candida is a harmless fungus, a microscopic organism living in our body commonly found in the gastro-intestinal and genito-urinary areas. The yeast and fungi populating our body feeds on decomposing and dead tissue and digests what our body cannot or does not use. When resistance and immunity are low through stress and lack of good nutrition, antibiotics, birth control pills, corticosteroids and a lifestyle short of rest, the yeast is able to multiply rapidly, feeding on sugars and carbohydrates in these tracts. Candida releases many toxins into the bloodstream and causes far reaching problems. Eventually Candida can wreak enormous damage on the tissue and organs and is believed to be an aggravating factor in many degenerative diseases.

Research at Rice University found 70% of all people are affected by Candida.Julia Koehler, working at Harvard University with infectious diseases, found Candida is the predominant fungal infection behind human disease. She states Candida was responsible for 60% of the fungal infections people got in hospitals, killing 1 in 3 people with a bloodstream infection.
