Candida is a microorganism (a vicious yeast) that dwells inside the digestive system and can transform from yeast to a fungus as it seeks the opportunity to propagate.
When candida starts to flourish it can negatively affect the colon, bladder, liver and vagina.
The most destructive aspect of candida growth results mainly from its waste product (mycotoxins) that can affect the brain, the immune system, joints, muscles, tissues and especially damaging the functionality of the liver.
Candida albicans, stimulated by antibiotics and refined carbohydrates (such as sugars and white breads), can grow to a plant-like form, break through the intestinal walls and help the yeast drive through the bloodstream and feed toxins into it.
Candida thrives when the blood pH becomes acid. This usually happens when we consume less alkaline foods and more acid foods.
When the blood pH becomes more acid, candida overgrows (as it adapts to the new acid environment) secreting more mycotoxins that put a burden on your liver and intestines as well as other organs of elimination.
Needless to say, damaging the liver can have a negative impact on your acne. In fact, most acne sufferers in my opinion have an overgrown candida in their system that once eliminated will result in a remarkable improvement on their skin and health condition in general.
Controlling candida has proven to be a great influence in significantly reducing acne breakouts.
Since conventional medical tests for yeast infection are not always accurate, the best advice is to combine a solid medical diagnosis with a reliable self-diagnosis. The following is a simple and easy-to-use home test for candida:
First thing in the morning and on an empty stomach (no food or liquids allowed), find a clear glass and fill it with mineral or reverse osmosis water. Next, work out a generous amount of saliva and spit into the glass.
Leave the glass of water aside for a period of up to an hour. If you have a mild case of candida yeast infection, you will see strings in the form of legs that travel down into the water.
If you have an advanced case of candida yeast infection, you will see your saliva sink to the bottom of the glass.
Bear in mind that most people fail the test. (I failed it when I first applied this self-diagnosis test.) Only in rare cases, or after you have eliminated your candida, will the saliva remain floating on the water.
