Conventional diets high in cooked starches (bread, baked potato, cakes, cookies, pasta) and diets loaded with refined or hybridized (seedless) fruit sugars both feed Candida. When all this sugar is added into a body whose levels of good intestinal bacteria (probiotics) are low and whose tissues have become acidic due to a prolonged lack of alkaline mineral salts (which come from vegetables and superfoods) in the diet, then Candida proliferates. Those suffering from candida typically have had a history of antibiotic use. Antibiotics eliminate much of the good intestinal bacteria and allow Candida to spread. Systemic yeast infections (candidiasis) find growth potential in a damp, musty condition in the body. Candida is a yeast and then a fungus when its rhizoids (long roots) penetrate the tissue mucosa and bridge the boundary between the internal body and the digestive tract. Candida is usually also present when there has been mercury poisoning. Therefore, candida symptoms decrease with heavy metal cleansing.
