Health Conditions: Infections
PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Candida Albacans is saprophytic yeast that proliferates in the host when the environment becomes favorable and the host's defenses are weakened. The sites most favorable are usually mucocutaneous areas where heat and moisture provide a fertile environment and where various conditions of general disease increase susceptibility to this condition.
PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The manifestations vary with the site of infection, the most common appearing as erythematous, well-demarcated, exudous patches of varying shape and size. Candida can appear in any number of sites, especially the vagina, groin and gluteal folds, umbilicus, inflammatory areas, and even between toes and fingers. Oral candidiasis appears as Thrush with creamy white patches of exudate and can appear around the fingernail as candidal paronychia.
SUPPORT
Candida infections develop in environments that are moist and alkaline in nature, in nutritional and immune deficiencies, diabetes, administration of antibiotics and certain endocrine- metabolic abnormalities. These conditions must be cleared up and resolved in order for the actual treatment to be effective.
Candida Albacans has always been a difficult condition to resolve. In most cases if the patient is able to get it under control it finds its way back in the near future.
The cause for this reoccurrence is Candida is not the underlying problem. The underlying problem exist in the digestive and intestinal system.
Candida can only become an issue if:
1) There has been an over use of antibiotics without a probiotic use for protection.
2) Excessive sugar and sweet intake.
3) Extremely poor digestion.
4) Long term poor dietary habits.
5) Chronic constipation.
All of these areas need to be addressed to clear up Candida and prevent the return of this condition.
It is necessary to create a base foundation with the body which includes immune functions, detoxification, DNA support and increased enzyme functions.
