Gut Imbalance: When Candida Takes Over
People may have symptoms that appear totally unrelated to the candida such as headaches, sinuses inflammation, allergies, chronic fatigue, weight gain, immune disorders, digestive problems, inflammatory bowel disease, sugar craving, vaginal discharge, prostate problems.
More and more oncologists are seeing yeast infections as an integral part of cancer.
The Yeast Within:
How Candida Affects Gut Health
Candida is a type of yeast that naturally lives in our intestines, coexisting with other microbes. However, when the balance is disrupted—often by poor diet, antibiotics, stress, or other factors—Candida can overgrow. This overgrowth can coat the intestinal lining and interfere with digestion, absorption, and elimination.
Many people with Candida overgrowth go undiagnosed, even after visiting multiple doctors. Sugar cravings are common, as Candida thrives on sugars and starches. People with diabetes or pre-diabetes are especially vulnerable due to elevated blood sugar levels, which fuel Candida growth.
Candida Overgrowth: What It Does to Your Body
Candida Toxins
Candida produces toxic byproducts, including alcohol and compounds that damage human DNA. These can lead to brain fog, fatigue, and even liver issues in non-drinkers due to internal alcohol production.
Candida & Heavy Metals
Candida can bind and store heavy metals like mercury, which complicates detoxification. Candida cleansing protocols should account for this to prevent toxic release into the bloodstream.
Candida & Leaky Gut
Candida's invasive form (hyphae) can damage the gut lining, making it permeable. This allows toxins—and Candida itself—to enter the bloodstream, contributing to allergies, autoimmune diseases, and even conditions like Celiac disease through immune system confusion.

The Unseen Invaders: Are Parasites Living
in Your Gut?
Intestinal parasites are tiny organisms—like worms or single-celled bugs—that live in the intestines and feed off the host.
They sneak in through dirty food, water, or poor hygiene, and tiredness. steal your nutrients, and leave you feeling sick and tired.
Common symptoms include stomach pain, diarrhea, gas and bloating. Some people might be asymptomatic (show no symptoms) but still carry the parasite.
Parasites Closer Than You Think: Common Risks and Transmission
Recent medical studies, it was estimated that more than 85% of the North American population has at least one form of parasites. You may not think you have a parasite in your intestinal tract. You don’t have to travel to an underdeveloped country to be at risk. This happens in the United States on a daily basis. Often parasitic infections can be undetected and untreated.
You can become infected with intestinal parasites by:
-
Drinking or eating contaminated water or food
-
Touching infected soil or surfaces and then your mouth
-
Walking barefoot in areas where parasites live in the soil
-
Coming into contact with someone who’s already infected
It’s more common in areas with poor sanitation or where clean water is hard to access.
However, travelers, campers, and even pet owners can also be at risk.
From Symptoms to Solutions: Modern Parasite Detection and Prevention
Iasitic infections can be undetected a
Symptoms to watch for: Some people don’t have symptoms of parasites, but common signs include:
-Stomach pain or cramps-Diarrhea or constipation-Nausea or vomiting-Weight loss-Fatigue-Itching around the anus (especially in kids).
How Are They Diagnosed
Doctors usually diagnose parasites by checking a stool sample. Today, diagnosing intestinal parasites has come a long way from the old microscope-only methods. New technology has made diagnosis faster, more accurate, and able to detect even low levels of infection.
Modern tests include PCR and antigen tests. New tech is helping catch infections earlier, ivery small numbers of parasites and treat them more precisely.
