Candida, what is it?  Why is it? and what to do about it.

By: Sheila Stirling, PhD

Why is it that more and more people seem to be having symptoms in the summer? How do you know it’s candida and what can be done about it? What is it anyway?

Yes, there are a lot of questions on this subject so let’s dive right in and offer not only answers but some solutions as well. 

First, let me premise this by letting you know that we all carry bacteria and yeast in our bodies and that is normal believe it or not. We are a miraculous species and our bodies were designed to heal themselves… so what happens to activate this condition and why?

What is called a “Yeast Infection” is simply an overgrowth of yeast in the body. When this happens it is then considered a “yeast infection”.

Please allow me to introduce myself so you know I am coming from a fact and science-based information.

I have been in the alternative medical industry for over two decades. With a PhD in Natural Health and being a certified microscopist (That is live blood analysis) and actually, literally wrote the book “Anatomy of Healing and Wellness” Being a blood specialist and a functional nutritionist has given me a deep and keen insight into this pesky challenge.  I am also a certified lymphologist and this gives me a well-rounded view.  I am a diabetic specialist and let me tell you that the more glucose in your blood the more yeast and the more likely you will be having symptoms  that may include:

  • Itchy skin or a rash
  • Blisters 
  • White patches on your skin that may feel lumpy
  • Pain or soreness (not feeling well)
  • Burning especially in the vaginal area
  • Discharge
  • When you have excessive yeast it sometimes shows up in the mouth as Thrush   
  • And yes yeast on the toenails is an overgrowth of yeast

Even Google agrees with me!

Let me start by asking you a few questions…
