Candida is an internal yeast. It can wreck the immune system if not treated.

What causes Candida

Most naturopaths concur that the conversion happens due to some sort of attack

on our immune systems – either prolonged antibiotic use, taking steroids or oral

contraceptives on a regular basis, or a high sugar diet. It could be a

combination of these. It is also conjectured that candida increases its numbers

during periods of stress and lowered immune states.

Candida thrives on the foods that are a large part of the typical American diet,

which in addition, alters intestinal pH unfavorably.

Stress contributes to its proliferation.
