Candida and hormone imbalances

[Guest guest]

Duncan:

Have you seen this? -

" Candida have receptor sites on their cell walls for Steroid Hormones and

may tie up hormones which normally would be used by the body. The

imbalances that could result from Candida producing some female hormoens and

typing up others, could be a major factor in causing PMS. "

Very interesting.

And I bet you didn't know that, did you?

Bonnie,

I note that the Dr.'s opinion is not presented as a fact but a

possibility, seen by his own use of the word " could " . Did he supply a

reference for any of that? What you'd have to do if he did not is go

to PubMed and see what hormones are produced by candida, and whether

the amount would be sufficient to skew PMS symptoms.

All the cells in your body, what ever you're hosting as well as your

own, have receptor sites, and your own cells are outnumbered 10 to 1.

Because of the high volume of foreign cells, certainly their

secretions can do a lot, good OR bad, depending on the secretion. So

to be more accurate you'd be analyzing ALL of the major unbalanced

bacteria in your body to determine what they all would be producing

along those lines, and extrapolate a result based on some kind of

data.
