PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS Candidiasis results from an imbalance in the intestines in the ratio of good health-giving bacteria to candida yeast. This yeast overgrowth changes the environment in the intestines so that yeast is favored over beneficial flora. Before the balance can be restored to healthy balance, the candida yeast colonies must be greatly reduced. Only after reducing the candida can the healthy flora have a chance to take hold. So in the beginning of battle with yeast taking probiotics will not have much benefit. The timing of when to introduce high doses of probiotics is s ...

BIOFILMS A significant discovery was made in 1997 (research had been going on for years previous).

They were named “biofilms” and consisted of a matrix of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron as well as other bacteria. It could be considered a colony that derived much mutual benefit by living together in such an arrangement. Biofilms is a major reason why getting rid of candida is difficult. ...

You are certainly correct to assume that canddia can be a topical(local) infection and can also be sytemic(in the blood, organs and tissues).

For clarity I shall just refer to these two forms as the yeast form and fungal fom. The yeast form infects locally(skin, uterus, intestines etc) because it is a saprophytic feeder(feeds off dead organic matter), reproduces by budding and has delicate hypha.
