What is candida and how does it work?

What is Candida and what is all the fuss being made over it? For many people when you mention Candida their first thought is to assocaite it with Candida Albicans which is the root cause of thrush and yeast infections.

This strain of Candida is by far the most talked about, and annoying version of Candida. The major Candida species include, Candida Albicans, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, and Candida dubliniensis.

Candida occurs naturally in the human body and in most cases is kept in balance by beneficial bacteria (or flora) in the digestive system. Its not that you get Candida out of the blue, its that your bodies normal regulators are not in place to deal with the candida growth already there.
