Re: Here's how

Candida is a YEAST, but an alkaline environment turns on a gene that transforms it from it's normal yeast-like form to a pathogenic FUNGAL form. (EVERYONE has candida, and it is generally harmless when in a yeast-like state. When it changes into the fungal form, THATS when issues arise). The more alkaline u are, the more the candida thrive and mutate.

Different areas of our body contain different pHs. Thus, is candida migrates to an area that provides it a better environment, it may become pathogenic. For instance, we all normally have E coli in our guts, but if it migrates elsewhere, it can then give us major issues, for it is in an area it is not supposed to be and/or it mutates and/or it overgrows/overtakes the normal flora (causing dysbiosis).

I have been dealing with candida for YEARS, but never suffer from vaginal yeast infections. My symptoms are always in my gut/GI and skin (and mood and causing a cascade of other health issues due to the impact these infections have on my immunity and hormones, etc). No two candida cases are alike, thus making the treatment very difficult. Tweet
