The long list of candida symptoms is NOT candida

In response to a candida article that was just posted, the article is one of those fear-monger articles about candida that lists a lot of dubious claims about how bad candida can supposedly get and what it can supposedly do (without a single source to back any of it up), lists a vast array of alleged symptoms that makes it look like anyone sick is suffering from candida, lists the totally nonsense spit test, recommends supplements, and finishes with the tried and un-true methods of trying to starve and kill-off candida by scaring people away from carbs and grains (gluten) and promoting a low-carb diet that so many people here have either not improved on, or gotten worse.

Though I agree with the article that candida can overgrow due to a weakened immune system, it's not the overgrowth of candida that's causing all those vast array of symptoms the article lists.

All those symptoms listed are direct and indirect results of MALNUTRITION and that's why there can be so many symptoms because only malnutrition can directly and indirectly cause that many.

What's happening for most people who are suffering from an array of those listed symptoms is they have become malnourished due to prolonged calorie-restriction and that is causing their immune systems to become weak which then causes them to become more susceptible to infections, like colds, flu, sore throats, and candida infections and, therefore, may cause them to need frequent use of Antibiotics .

The candida infections are NOT becoming "chronic" or "systemic" and causing all those vast array of listed symptoms. The candida infections in those situations are just a result of a weakened immune system most likely due to being malnourished.

A person's immune system may become weak from other reasons which may also lead to simple candida infections, but for the people who are experiencing a lot of those vast array of symptoms listed for candida, it's malnutrition from under-eating that is the real culprit.

My research on the truth about candida infections, including the long list of malnutrition symtpoms:

Candida overgrowth is a symptom of a weakened immune system

Chronic Candida claims are bunk, it's a misdiagnosis of Malnutrition

Why I don't recommend low-carb diets is it seems like the majority of people here who try it for candida or other reasons end up feeling worse. If you are worried about carbs and Sugar "feeding" candida, it's actually a diet of excess fat that causes high blood Sugar by slowing down glucose absorption into the cells and that results in your body trying to eliminate the excess Sugar which then may be able to feed candida as the first video in this link shows:

But remember, it's not the carbs or sugar that are causing candida problems. It's having a weakened immune system most likely due to being malnourished that is the root cause of candida infections.
