Normal Candida Versus Candida Overgrowth _http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cfd2.php_ (http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cfd2.php) © Copyright Bee Wilder Candida in its normal state is a friendly organism that is essential to the functioning of the body. Candida albicans lives in all our mucus membranes, i.e. eyes, ears, mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, intestines, bladder, genitals, etc. Candida in its normal state it is one of the billions of friendly microorganisms that serve a useful purpose in the body. One of candida albicans' important functions is to recognize and destroy harmful bacteria and toxins. The shape or structure of friendly candida is round to oval. When a person?s immune system becomes depressed it causes candida to change and start overgrowing. Candida is not infectious or contagious. In order for candida to change it occurs within each person?s body when their immune system is unable to keep candida ?in check? (keep candida balanced with other microorganisms and in its normal state). When candida becomes unfriendly it changes its structure and activities by growing feet or tentacles, called hyphae, and it grows large colonies. However, candida is not intended to overgrow while the body is still living. Nature only intends this change to take place when the body dies, when the functions and characteristics of candida change in order to break the body down. The major damage caused by candida overgrowth is due to the toxins it produces. These toxins, which include over 79 different kinds, are designed to break the body down. Most of those toxins are alcohol, which explains many of the symptoms it causes, i.e. brain fog, inability to concentrate, headaches, overall aches and pains, etc. Candida toxins are so lethal they can even cause lesions throughout the body. Candida toxins also cause cell membrane defects which makes all of the body's cells go rigid, or stiff. This means that organs aren't as able to function well, and that hormones, nutrients, water, and other important substances in the body aren't as able to get into rigid cells, where they are needed to do their job. Also rigid red blood cells aren't as able to fold like they should, in order to get into small blood vessels and capillaries, which impairs circulation and makes a person feel cold.
