Re: Stop obsessing on Candida... understanding life & universe

I completely agree. I'll add something to think about....what IF candida is actually part of the body's normal response to serious problems? What if the candida is actually saving our lives in some weird way? I know I know, how can it be saving us if it makes us feel so bad and causes so many problems! But consider this: in some instances the body will actually damage itself to save our life. Sometimes it does TOO good a job and causes more problems than not.

For example: someone who gets nauseous easily, sees blood and faints. But what if the person faints and falls and hits their head and then they slip into a coma? How did that help? Simple. The body saw a problem, reacted, and unfortunately more problems resulted. Another example: someone breaks their leg in a skiing accident. The healing bone inadvertently traps a nerve in the scar tissue. The person has a nerve problem now where they didn't before.

What if we all got candida because our intestinal bacteria were not able to do their job? We all know that without bacteria in the stomach we die. Candida overgrowth happened to at least make sure all the foreign invaders got killed. I know that may be far fetched, but the point is that what if 100 years from now doctors know that without a candida flourish that we'd have died from whatever toxin or poison caused it in the first place. Maybe the candida is a normal response by the body.

Who knows. I'm probably a million miles off from the truth. Goodness knows I hate candida in my body as much as everyone else here. But maybe it's happening for a bigger reason that science and medicine can tell us.
