Candidiasis is caused by the overgrowth of a common type of yeast called Candida Albicans that occurs naturally in the body.  In most cases, a healthy immune system can keep the balance between good bacteria and fungus such as Candida in check.  Candida can occur anywhere in the body, but it is most commonly found in areas where there are mucous membranes such as the vaginal tract, rectum and throat.  Some causes of overgrowth of Candida can include prolonged use of antibiotics, the Birth Control Pill (BCP), eating refined sugar and processed foods too often as well as immune suppression.

Pregnancy and the H1N1 Flu Virus
Written by Jeramie Peacock

Your resiliency, energy, endurance and your very life all depend on their proper functioning."
