EveryBODY on earth has candida, it's a friendly bacteria, the body's garbage men. The problem comes from overgrowth brought on my overfeeding it AND antibiotics which kill the other friendly bacteria that keep it in balance. It mutates into a fungal form that can make us very ill. The buds can wind up in the blood stream moving all over the body, in abudance ... it winds up being and a "bacterial infection."
