It provides a very long, root-like structure that penetrates the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal wall. This penetration breaks down the protective barrier between the intestinal tract and bloodstream, allowing many foreign and toxic substances to enter and pollute the body systemically. The majority of people who have the Candida yeast do not realize it until they have become seriously ill. Candida itself is totally preventable and if you have this condition, there is a special way in which it can be completely and permanently eliminated. One can be checked for the yeast through a series of allergy testings and can learn to prevent further growth of the yeast by following a specific diet and receiving injections after the allergy testing.
Candida has the ability to change from a yeast and become a fungus.
As a fungus it operates in a similar fashion to any other fungus such as athletes foot fungus, etc. Candida is kept at low levels by the friendly bacteria that also resides in the digestive tract. The friendly bacteria feed on the Candida, thus a balance in the body is maintained. Once this bacteria is destroyed, the yeast begins to grow rapidly.
