Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a yeast organism which is always present in the mouth. With frequent antibiotics, a history of poor eating habits, excessive stress, or repeated flu and intestinal illness, the normal, healthy bacteria of the mouth are destroyed. This permits the Candida yeast to reproduce unchecked and eventually take control of once healthy mucous membranes. From the mouth, Candida spreads to the remainder of the digestive tract and eventually into the blood stream where it can effect the entire body, especially the endocrine and nervous systems. It is the Candida in the mouth that actually "seeds" the rest of the body with additional colonies. Consequently, the process of successfully eliminating Candida means attacking it first at its source and then at its migratory sights.
