Corrected: The link between Candidiasis and Adrenal Function

Since this is an Adrenal Debate Forum and not an Adrenal Fatigue Debate Forum, and Adrenal Fatigue is a controversial term used by naturopaths, I've changed the title to leave out the controversial term and stuck with the mainstream medical terms of Adrenal Function or Adrenal Insufficiency. I know we're dealing with semantics, but some cannot think in generic terms and get hung up.

The point I was trying to make was that Candidiasis, or more generically, some form of dysbiosis, can have a negative impact on the human host, ultimately affecting the endocrine glands incusive of the adrenal glands.

This article, published by an NIH researcher, explains it.

"The symptoms of adrenal insufficiency usually begin gradually. The most common symptoms are

• chronic, worsening fatigue
• muscle weakness
• loss of appetite
• weight loss"

The author goes on to say:

"Polyendocrine deficiency syndrome is classified into two separate forms, type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is inherited and occurs in children. In addition to adrenal insufficiency, these children may have""""""

• underactive parathyroid glands, which produce a hormone that regulates calcium and phosphorus balance in the body
• slow sexual development
• pernicious anemia, a severe type of anemia
• chronic candida infections, a type of fungal infection
• chronic active hepatitis, a liver disease"
