Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 I have heard about this for years but thought it was something only women get. Do men get it and how would I know it I had it? I've had something like acne but on my arms for over 20 years. Sometimes I will go years without an outbreak. But when I get one there is a small itchy tiny red speck. It turns into a big pimple full of sticky goo that take weeks or months to go away. Alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 I am not a doctor, nor do I even play one on TV, but to me candida is simply the normal human form of yeast. It belongs in our Large Intestine along with hundreds of other little critters who compete for nutrients and keep each other in line. Trouble starts when the colon wall gets thinned from other causes and the candida can invade the bloodstream. If it finds sugar and somewhere to live it can end up almost anywhere. My dad died of cancer of the esophagus, and when I stopped eating sugar my voice began sounding like a frog for a few days. I presume that the thick sludge coming up was maybe candida in my esophagus. Under a magnifying glass I could see tiny white filaments around my toenail fungus, and I decided it was candida too. It only forms those little mycelia when it is starving and starts hunting for sugar. Each fiber can generate hycrochloric acid on the end as it punctures cells looking for something sweet. I even imagine it can affect the brain, making someone go looking for sugar. Hey I can believe what I want eh? I don't know if this helps but yep maybe the pimples are related.
