Candida
So many people come to my clinic, telling me that “they’ve got Candida”. Sometimes I sigh and let it pass, but most of the time I tell them this little story:
Now let’s imagine that you are driving your car and suddenly BANG! You find yourself in the middle of an accident. You come out of your car apparently unscathed, but as you walk away, the pocket of your coat catches onto a piece of the torn metal that was your car and it slashes your pocket. You arrive home and your partner sees that you are in a state. She asks “What’s wrong?” You answer, devastated and hysterical: “I tore my coat pocket!”
Is that what the problem is? No. The problem is that you had a bad car accident and you wrote off your car, you are shaken because could have killed or badly hurt yourself. Maybe someone in the other car was injured. Maybe you had no insurance and you happened to write off a convertible Mercedes Benz. Or maybe all of the above. These are problems, the torn pocket isn’t. Candida is the torn pocket of gastro-intestinal problems.
Candida is just one of many micro-organisms that live happily in the gut. When the ecology of the gut goes haywire, Candida and many other micro-organisms, including some that could be fatal, get out of control and grow unchecked. This is NOT the cause of the problem but simply a side effect.
When the ecology of the gut is restored and the good flora is colonising the gut again, then Candida and all other minor inhabitants go back to their acceptable numbers. That is all there is to it.
