Candida is an imbalance of the bacterial vs fungal elements which keep each other in check. The qualitative and quantitative strength of ALL the bacteria and ALL the mold fungi need to be kept in balance to prevent manifestation of multiple health problems. If you have had any antibiotics(concentrated doses of mold) it will upset the balance. If you have had any fermented products, such as cheese, alcohol, soy sauce, chocolate, black tea, malt extract, lactaid, citric acid, digestive enzymes, cholesterol-lowering enzymes,these all add to the mold fungi side of the equation. If you have ANY mold fungi in your brathing environment it is definitely adding to the mold fungi side of the equation. Some of the same molds found in houses are concentrated and weaponized into the strongest biological weapons on earth, the T-2 Mycotoxins. If you have ANY mold in your breathing environment remediate or move. Get a air cleaner with a HEPA filter to capture mold spores and other microbes in your air. Everyone should have one nowadays, no matter what. Give your body the help it needs. If mold is a factor email me for extensive info. I am a toxic mold exposure patient turned researcher.
