Lack of Energy

Like parasitic infections, a candida overgrowth can drain you of most of your energy causing you to fatigue very easily. The major complaint for many today is their lack of energy. Everyone wants to have lots of energy to be able to live and participate in life most fully. One of the most common causes for the loss of energy is candida. An equal cause of a loss of energy is parasitic infections. I have written a separate article titled "Eliminating Parasites" that can be found on my Website at www.mkprojects.com.  Candida and parasites literally suck your energy out of you. Your immune system has to work so hard to try and eliminate them and to keep trying to detoxify their poisons that it becomes very weak. In time, candida can unbalance your chemical system. This in turn changes your digestive system. A changed digestive system means you can no longer digest many of the foods you could digest before. Your vital energy keeps getting lower and lower and you become fatigued more and more easily.

The Spread of Candida

Candida rests in your intestinal tracts and the overgrowth begins there. It eventually spreads almost everywhere throughout including your blood system, into the membranes around your brain, into your brain, into your joints, affecting basically every system in your body. It weakens the immune system. This weakness allows other infections and illnesses to take hold. Candida can also be transmitted sexually so you need to be careful in choosing your sexual partners. Eventually over time your energy feels sapped away, you tire easily, your thinking becomes sluggish and dull, you have problems remembering things, you feel depressed and sad, things that didn’t bother you before become real problems, you become irritable and discontent.

Effects – On Emotions and Intellectual Ability

Candida has a direct and profound effect on your emotions and your intellectual capacity. It causes depression, irritability, emotional swings, confusion, the inability to concentrate, memory problems, and restlessness. It has many indirect causes as well. Insomnia and broken sleep creates fatigue that in turn affects most things in your life. This in turn leads to many other difficulties in your relationships and your overall quality of life. The emotional and intellectual effect of candida is huge.

As candida is eliminated the vital force and the energy of the person slowly and gently increases. Once the energy has increased, I have found that people are then strong enough to deal with their emotions and emotional issues in life. It's amazing to see people almost come to life in front of your eyes and begin to find the energy, emotional strength and intellectual capacity to enjoy life again.

It's important to note that not all emotional imbalances, depression etc. are caused by candida or parasites. There are many other causes for emotional difficulties. Candida and parasites are often major causes and should be identified and eliminated to ensure they are not the only cause of your emotional difficulties. At times, candida is the only major cause of emotional and intellectual difficulties.

Candida and Children

Children can be affected with candida in the same manner as adults. Today children are often prescribed antibiotics for a variety of illnesses. Unfortunately parents are not told they must give their children acidophilus to repopulate their intestines with good bacteria. As a result the children often begin to develop a candida fungus overgrowth at a very young age. I have worked with children from ages 3 - 12 who had a great deal of the candida fungus overgrowth.

This is quite a controversial topic. I personally believe that many types of cancer today are caused by parasites, worms, infectious bacteria, viruses, and fungus. Cancers of the lungs, throat, tongue, bronchial tubes are often caused by a fungus growth on the lungs. As the fungus or parasites multiply and get denser in the body, the organs and systems can no longer function normally. Parasites, worms, viruses and fungus dump toxins or poisons in your body daily. This changes the chemistry of the body completely. The digestive system can no longer digest food properly, and the cells begin to behave abnormally. And cancer is the abnormal growth of cells. The damage that fungus, parasites and worms do to the cells and organs themselves, the poisons they leave in the body are a major cause of many types of cancer.
