Candida is the term that’s commonly used when referring to Candida Albicans, a group of yeast that can affect the skin. This yeast lives within the body, usually in small numbers. It lives in the mouth, throat, and intestinal tract, with the immune system keeping its numbers under control. However, if the body’s friendly bacteria are killed off by antibiotics or if the immune system is weak, the number of Candia increases and infection could occur. Holes can be created by the yeast in the intestinal tract, allowing it to enter the blood stream, move to any of the body’s organs, and emit over 70 toxins. Common results of the proliferation of this yeast are oral thrush, skin infections, and vaginal yeast infections.
