Candida from a Holistic Perspective

Candida is the popular term for candidiasis (yeast overgrowth), a condition first identified by American physicians in the 1970s. It is caused by Candida albicans and sometimes by C. tropicalis or other species of the same genus. Changes in the bowel flora or a drop in the immunity of an individual can immediately cause its proliferation.

This pathogenic fungus is known to inhabit various tissues, such as the skin, female genital tract and gastrointestinal tract and forms a curd like coating on the affected tissue if provided with a conducive atmosphere.

Symptoms of Candidiasis

Candida can manifest as cutaneous, mucosal, or chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.

In cutaneous candidiasis, reddish erosions appear, usually in the folds of the skin, which tend to get macerated with sweat.

Candida also tends to affect mucocutaneous areas, like the mouth and genitals. Candidial stomatitis or inflammation of the mouth is also called Thrush.

Oral candidiasis can be categorized on the basis of the appearance, as pseudomembranous, atrophic, hyperplastic and nodular.

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis usually occurs due to poor immunity, due to allergies and auto-immune disorders or of other diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, AIDS, etc, and excessive use of antibiotics or steroids that suppress the immun system.

In systemic candidiasis, the bronchi may get infected, so as to produce severe cough with curd-like expectoration, which is called bronchial candidiasis. Pulmonary candidiasis has, in addition to the above symptoms, dyspnoea or breathlessness, chest pain, and haemoptysis or spitting of blood, but this is a rare feature.

The term invasive candidiasis is used in those cases where the candidial organisms multiply in very large numbers and spread via the bloodstream to distant organs, and produce pustular lesions called micro abscesses.

The skin may develop nodules.

Nail-bed infections or paronychia (an affliction that makes nails parrot-beak shaped) may occur. Inflammation of the muscles (myositis) may take place.

Osteomyelitis (an affliction of the bones) may also occur.

Other rare manifestations involving the heart, kidney, and meninges can prove fatal.

Candida infections may also occur in cases of patients on IV feeding or urinary catheters, due to the tubing.

Diagnosis of Candidiasis

Candidiasis is diagnosed by histopathological evidence of the organism within the tissues. Serological tests are not very satisfactory. Another commonly used household technique is the Spittle test. Here, the person spits into a glass of water immediately after waking up in the morning, before brushing his/her teeth. If there is no oral candidiasis, the spit floats on the level of water. If the person is affected by oral candidiasis, the spit will probably gradually diffuse into the water giving a fibrinous appearance.

The yeast can be cultured in the laboratory or sent for microscopy, using discharges from the body, to identify the type of infection.

There are very few drugs that are capable of treating a candida infection. Most are chemicals that are known to drop the immunity further, and in fact, even aggravate the infection. If there are any underlying pathological conditions responsible for the infection, they must be treated first.

The drugs normally employed for Candida treatment include anti-fungals (oral/topical). Anti-fungals do not cure Candida. On the contrary, they are known to increase candida attacks. They may lead to a decreased immune capacity, thereby causing recurrence of Candida.

Complementary Natural Care

Candidiasis can be due to a fungal infection, decreased immunity or an underlying pathological condition.
