Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a yeast-like organism that can live in the body.
If it spreads out of control it can cause a variety of symptoms including bowel
problems, oral or vaginal thrush, cystitis and a number of generalised symptoms
such as headache, low blood sugar and general malaise as the immune system
attempts to eradicate it.
Conventionally it is treated with fungicides, but nutritional therapy will
attempt to eradicate it by restoring to the body conditions that discourage it
from growing, thus effecting a more complete return to health. Its existence
is not necessarily easy to prove by conventional means, but a skilled nutritional
therapist will detect the type of problems and past treatments that indicate
that Candida may be causing health problems.
