Candida Cleanse is a combination of herbal ingredients
(Pau D'Arco, Black Walnut and Oregano Oil), Biotin (a B-complex
vitamin) and Caprylic Acid (a naturally occurring fatty acid derived
from plant oils). These synergistic ingredients help to support
a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria. The beneficial bacteria
that normally populate the gut assist in the digestion of food,
produce certain vitamins and promote detoxification processes.*
Candida albicans is a yeast that normally resides in the body in
the digestive tract and vagina. Candida levels are kept in check
by the immune system and beneficial probiotic bacteria in the body.
If probiotic bacteria are killed by antibiotics or if the immune
system becomes weakened, Candida yeast may grow unchecked.
Local infections, such as oral thrush, skin infections and vaginal
yeast infections in women can result.
People with severely weakened immune systems, such as those with
cancer or AIDS, may develop widespread Candida infection, a serious
medical condition called systemic candidiasis.
Some alternative practitioners believe that overgrowth of candida
albicans yeast in the intestines is responsible for a yeast syndrome
that results in symptoms such as fatigue, headache, mood swings,
sinus congestion, depression, poor memory and concentration, and
cravings for sweets.
The excess Candida yeast in the intestines is then thought to penetrate
the intestinal wall, causing yeast and other unwanted particles
to be absorbed into the body. The absorbed yeast particles are believed
to activate the immune system, resulting in an allergic hypersensitivity
to Candida.
This yeast syndrome, popularized by William Crook, MD, in his 1983
book, The Yeast Connection, is considered highly controversial.
Most conventional doctors think this syndrome is over diagnosed
by holistic practitioners and many disagree with the validity of
the diagnosis.
