Candida is a Modern Medicine DiseaseOver the last 30 or 40 years the wide-spread use of prescription drugs, including antibiotics, birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, and over-the-counter medicines, as well as an increase in environmental toxins, have caused candida overgrowth of epidemic proportions. Though many conventional doctors still refuse to recognize the seriousness of the candida epidemic, there are more and more professionals taking note of this widespread problem. This is due in part to the realization that candida makes up a significant portion of hospital-acquired infectious diseases. Our advanced, life-sustaining technology, such as artificial joints, organ transplants and chemotherapy, allows this normally harmless fungus to invade deep into body cavities and organs. An editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that "a disturbingly large number of patients die with undiagnosed [and untreated] invasive candida infections." The best way to ward off candida is to stick to a healthy diet that provides the body what it needs to "do its job," which is keeping your body fit and healthy. All of the components of a "healthy diet" are contained in Bee's article "How to Successfully Overcome Candida", including foods to eliminate because they feed candida [and also cancer], foods that are damaging to everyone's health, and supplements necessary for building up the immune system. Only the body can heal itself!
