What
is
Candida?
Candida is a genus of yeasts. Clinically, the most significant member
of the genus is Candida albicans, which can cause numerous infections
(called candidiasis or thrush) in humans and other animals, especially
in immunocompromised patients. Various Candida species are members of
gut flora (microorganisms) in animals, including C. albicans.
Candidiasis, commonly
called yeast infection or thrush, is a fungal infection (mycosis) of
any of the Candida species, of which Candida albicans is the most
common. Candidiasis thereby encompasses infections that range from
superficial, such as oral thrush and vaginitis, to systemic and
potentially life-threatening diseases. Candida infections of the latter
category are also referred to as candidemia and are usually confined to
severely immunocompromised persons, such as cancer, transplant, and
AIDS patients, whereas superficial infections of skin and mucous
membranes by Candida causing local inflammation and discomfort is
common in many human populations. While clearly attributable to the
presence of the opportunistic pathogens of the genus Candida,
candidiasis describes a number of different disease syndromes that
often differ in their causes and outcomes.
It is important to consider that Candida species are frequently part of
the human body's normal oral and intestinal flora. Treatment with
antibiotics can lead to eliminating the yeast's natural competitors for
resources, and increase the severity of the condition.
While home remedies can offer relief in minor cases of infection,
seeking professional treatment may be necessary, especially if the
extent of the infection cannot be judged accurately by the patient. For
instance, oral thrush is visible only at the upper digestive tract, but
it may be that the lower digestive tract is likewise colonized by
Candida species.
Some traditional methods of treating candida infection include enzyme
and probiotics therapies. Probiotics are balanced mixtures of
healthy microorganisms that can help restore the natural microbial
diversity of a healthy oral, intestinal or vaginal flora
(microorganisms). We carry many quality probiotic products designed to
assist in maintaining a healthy balance of beneficial
microorganisms.

Candida albicans is a yeast-like
fungus that normally lives in healthy balance in the body. It is found
mostly in the intestines, genital tract, mouth, and throat. When the
balance is upset, infection results. This is known as Candidiasis and
the fungus travels to all parts of the body through the bloodstream. It
affects both men and woman.
Three Reasons Why Enzymes May Help With Candida
Yeast Overgrowth:
* In individuals
with yeast overgrowth there is often a large amount of undigested fiber
in the large intestine. It is believed that the mucous that the body
naturally produces due to the difficulty of digesting this fiber
(cellulose) may protect the yeast overgrowth from our body’s natural
overgrowth prevention mechanisms.
Cellulase is the enzyme that breaks down fiber. It is also the only
digestive enzyme our body does not make. By adding cellulase to the
diet this fiber can be removed along with the mucous and our body is
able to achieve balance.
* Fungi is a
group of organisms formerly regarded as plants lacking chlorophyll.
They can either exist as single cells or make up a multi-cellular body
called a mycelium, which consists of filaments known as hyphae. The
cell contains some fungal cellulose or a compound called chitin. Chitin
is a polysaccharide, or carbohydrate, which is structurally very
similar to cellulose. For the same reasons cellulase may help remove
undigested fiber in the colon, it has been used in breaking down this
“cellulose-like” chitin.*
* The inside of
the cell of yeast is mostly protein. The enzyme protease has the
ability to hydrolyze (digest) protein. Protease has been used in
clinics all over the world to break down this fungus and prevent its
overgrowth. The addition of protease to this formula helps prevent
"die-off".

Because the cell wall of candida
(and all other fungal organisms) is made mostly of fiber, fiber
digesting enzymes can break it down. As this occurs, the yeast dies --
and with no die off reaction. While candida and other yeasts can
develop an immunity to anti-fungal drugs and herbs, it has no defense
against enzymes. Thus, enzymes are the best possible solution.
For over five years, Candex has
provided the most potent blend of plant based, fiber digesting enzymes
available for those suffering from candida. It is the only such product
that has been proven in clinical trials, and has helped countless
people live richer, fuller lives. It works very quickly, overcoming
common vaginal infections in just days, and making a difference you can
feel -- in even the worst of systemic problems -- within a week or so.
Because of Candex's success, it is
among the most imitated products in the industry. But, if candida is a
problem for you or your loved ones, make sure you insist on the
original.

pau d'arco, 100mg calcium undecylenate (calcium salt of castor oil
extract), and 40mg grapefruit seed extract.

A Note From
Phil Wilson
Owner of Momentum98
Our Experience with
Aqua Flora...
We have been
promoting Aqua Flora for about 10 years now. It has helped people with
big Candida problems, and we also have many, many customers who would
use it when minor cases would flare up.
We offer a money
back guarantee if you are not satisfied with this product. It works!
We recommend starting with Phase I - one or 2 bottles. Then if
necessary, move to Phase II. You will know what to do after 1
or 2 months of Phase I - whether you want to continue, or whether it is
not necessary because the Candida is saying under control.

What is Candida Albicans?
Candida Albicans is the most
common unfriendly yeast organisms in our bodies. Normally it is kept in
balance by friendly bacteria. But when the balance becomes upset,
Candida proliferates. As its numbers grow, the normally noninvasive
yeast changes to a fungus-like microbe and releases toxins into the
bloodstream, which produce the debilitating effects of
Candidiasis.
Experts estimate that over 80
million Americans have Candidiasis, but the majority do not attribute
their symptoms to this modern epidemic.
Symptoms of Candidiasis:
NERVOUS SYSTEM - Depression,
anxiety, sudden mood swings, lack of concentration, drowsiness, poor
memory, headaches, light headedness, insomnia, fatigue.
DIGESTIVE
SYSTEM - Abdominal bloating, pain and gas, indigestion, heartburn,
constipation, diarrhea, gastritis, mucus in stool.
URINARY
/VAGINAL SYSTEMS - Recurrent bladder infections, burning or urgent
urination, cystitis, vaginal burning or itching, menstrual cramping.
MUSCULOSKELETAL
SYSTEM
-
Muscle and / or joint swelling and pain. MOUTH AND THROAT - Bleeding gums,
dry mouth and tongue, cracked tongue, white patches.
IMPORTANT:
Candidiasis occurs side by
side with diseases such as chronic fatigue, cancer, AIDS, Epstein -
Barr virus, bronchitis pneumonia, and immune deficiencies.
IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE DISEASES AND DO NOT BRING CANDIDIASIS UNDER
CONTROL, THESE IMMUNE COMPROMISED CONDITIONS ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO
TREAT.
What should you do?
First, get the Candida under
control.
Then you will have an easier time treating these
other diseases.
