Possible causes of Candida overgrowth.

 Problems seem to arise when the balance of good and harmful bacteria changes, causing the Candida to release toxins into the body that may effect all systems. Common causes of overgrowth include:

· High sugar diet.

· Antibiotic use.

· Steroids (including asthma inhalers).

· Immune deficiency

· Diabetes.

· Frequent use of anti-inflammatory drugs.

· High stress levels

 Candida History.

 The concept of a wide spread Candida infection (candidacies) was first described by Dr Orian Truss in 1978, then followed by Dr William Cook in 1983. They described a collection of syndromes that are related to a weakened immune system and the resulting imbalance in our natural bacterial levels.

Is it possible to get a long term cure?

If you have been correctly diagnosed and have adhered to your prescribed diet regime, taken any homeopathic remedy correctly and generally tried to improve your immune system (further Bio resonance can help here) then there is no reason, in most cases, why there should not be a successful outcome. Susceptible people must always be cautious of mould foods and excess sugar in their diets.

What can help?

A great many people with Candida symptoms will respond well to antifungal medication and anti-Candida diet regimens (cutting out yeast and sugar), but for some people there is little or only short term relief from their symptoms.
