Often related to Candida:
Candida albicans, is an opportunistic yeast that normally inhabits the mouth, throat, intestines and genitourinary tract of most humans and is usually considered to be a normal part of the bowel flora (the organisms that coexist with us in our lower digestive tract). Its job is to recognize and destroy harmful bacteria. Without Candida albicans in our intestines we would be defenseless against many pathogen bacteria. In a healthy person, Candida albicans is numbered in millions. It is controlled by a properly functioning immune system and "friendly" bacteria. However, if the number of friendly bacteria is decreased (antibiotics), the immune systems is weakened or other conditions for yeast proliferation occur (diet high in sugar, improper pH in the digestive system) Candida albicans will shift from yeast to mycelial fungal form and start to invade the body. In the yeast state Candida is a non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, while in fungal state it is invasive and can produce rhizoids, very long root-like structures. Rhizoids can penetrate mucosa or intestinal walls, leaving microscopic holes and allowing toxins, undigested food particles and bacteria and yeast to enter the bloodstream. These condition is known as Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS) and that is an explanation for food and environmental allergies.

"The fact about these conditions is that they typically get started from some insult to the body, usually the use of prescription drugs (antibiotics being the most common culprit). Once the insult occurs, a cascade of events takes place in the body, involving many systems. Finally, once the ball gets rolling, the initial insult and resultant injuries to the body are overlooked as the main cause of the problem." Hence the condition maintains its particular identity, while everything but the real cause is examined and treated. . . As treatment become more and more sophisticated (often with powerful drugs used to treat side effects of other drugs), the condition becomes more involved, expanded, and intrenched."

As stated, powerful drugs are commonly a main cause of a long bout of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. Drug toxicity can damage the immune system & central nervous system. Long-term antibiotic use can DESTROY the normal balance in gut flora. This can induce a powerful overgrowth of harmful bacteria, parasites and yeast in the gut, which in turn can overcome even a formerly healthy and powerful individual. You can get rid of yeast. Please be sure you know what you are doing and.....SAY NO TO DRUGS. Other causes are Diet, Stress, weak Adrenal glands, Hypothyroid problems, Immune system damage, Allergies, Parasites and Depression.

You know that nearly all medical experts warn you to stay clear of any alternative-type healers. So what will result from the battery of expensive tests you will be faced with? You will most likely be rewarded for your investment with a prescription for an antidepressant.
