How Candida Overgrows

Candida normally lives in everyone's body as a nice round friendly organism that is helpful and important to the body, and it is located in all mucus membranes, i.e. eyes, ears, nose, sinuses, mouth, throat, esophagus, intestines, kidneys, bladder, genitals, etc. Candida is one of billions of friendly organisms that serve a useful purpose in the body, and one of its important functions is to recognize and destroy harmful bacteria and toxins.

A healthy immune system keeps candida under control, but when it becomes depressed candida changes (called pleomorphism, which is similar to mutation) its form and function into an overgrowing organism that grows long legs (like tentacles) and it produces large families, called colonies.

Five Primary Causes of a Depressed Immune System

  1. Lack of proper nutrition.
  2. Low oxygen levels.
  3. Accumulation of toxins, poisons, and wastes.
  4. Lowered vitality due to stress, shock, injury, emotional upsets, and relationship or financial worries and concerns, etc.
  5. Poor "nutritional status" inherited from both parents upon conception.

Nature Intends Candida to Change

Nature only intends candida to change into an overgrowing monster when the body dies, so it will produce over 79 different kinds of toxins, which are mainly alcohol. These toxins are designed to break down the body into dust (ashes to ashes and dust to dust). Toxins are not produced by "normal" candida organisms.

If the body deteriorates to the point that the immune system is depressed, candida kicks in ahead of time, changing its shape and functions from a friendly, helpful organism into a destructive organism. This creates havoc and destruction throughout the entire body, causing numerous symptoms, diseases, illnesses, malfunctions, and degeneration.

You Cannot "Catch" Candida!

Candida overgrowth is not infectious or contagious. Therefore it is impossible for anyone to "catch" candida overgrowth from someone else, the environment, or from any other outside source. You cannot "catch" candida any more than you can catch someone else's broken finger or their grey hair.

Candida changes from a friendly organism into an overgrowing, destructive monster within each person's body, totally independent of anything or anyone else.

How Babies Acquire Candida

Babies inherit the "nutritional status" of their parents upon conception. As Dr. Weston A. Price points out in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Chapter 21: "Of the many problems on which the experience of the primitive races can throw light, probably none is more pressing than practical procedures for improving child life.

Since this has been shown to be largely dependent upon the architectural design, as determined by the health of the parental germ cells and by the prenatal environment of the child, the program that is to be successful must begin early enough to obviate [anticipate and prevent] by effective measures these various disturbing forces.

The normal determining factors that are of hereditary origin may be interrupted in a given generation but need not become fixed characteristics in the future generations. This question of parental nutrition, accordingly, constitutes a fundamental determining factor in the health and physical perfection of the offspring."

This means that if either parent has candida overgrowth the baby will also have it because they inherit the same immune system status, which will be just as depressed as their parents. Candida is not infectious or contagious therefore it is not possible for babies to "catch it" from the birth canal during birth, nor can they "catch it" from the mother after birth, i.e. from the breast or any other contact with a mother who has candida.

The Only Way to Handle Candida

The only way to handle candida, so it will "change back" into its normal friendly form, is to build up the immune system. The only way to build up the immune system is with proper nutrition (candida diet plus supplements) which provides the body with what it needs to heal itself. It takes 1 month of natural healing for every year the immune system has been depressed, which for most people nowadays has been since before birth. When the immune system is strong enough Candida will "change back" into a round friendly organism, the way it is supposed to be, which is helpful rather than destructive.

IF You Do Not Handle Candida You Can Get Cancer!

If you do not handle candida it will change into cancer! Candida is an evolving organism, which means it can "change back" into its normal form and function, OR it can further change, or mutate, into cancer – see articles on cancer and the candida connection. One of the best articles that explains this change is The Origins of Cancer.

Cancer and candida overgrowth thrive in the same conditions, i.e. feeding on sugars and high carbs, and in a low oxygen, toxic environment. This was discovered by Dr. Otto Warburg – see Cancer, the Prime Cause and Prevention. Also see Cancer's Sweet Tooth.

Do Not Fool Around; Handle Your Candida!

So it is very important to be diligent in following the candida program so your immune system will be built up, so it will make candida "change back" to its normal form and function. There are no quick fixes! It takes time, patience, and persistence to build up the immune system. The most successful candida program is outlined in Bee's article How to Successfully Overcome Candida.
