Candida is simply part of the normal “flora” – the collection of various microorganisms that we all have in and on our bodies. Around 20-25% of females have candida in the vagina, where it peacefully coexists with other fungi and bacteria. ...
Use of contraceptives, like creams and spermicidal jellies, can promote recurrences by causing changes to vaginal flora and rising the candida organisms' bond. Theory has it that progesterone receptors and estrogen are found in candida cells, which rises fungal proliferation when stimulated. Deficient...
Now, I don’t want you to think candida is the cause of every illness known to man. It’s not. But, it’s enough of a menace to deserve a substantial amount of consideration–much more than it gets in mainstream medicine. What Things Can Cause Candida?

Candidaspecies, usuallyC. albicans, are found in small numbers in the commensal flora (mouth, gastrointestinal tract, vagina, skin) of about 20% of the normal population. The carriage rate tends to increase with age and is higher in the vagina during pregnancy. Commensal yeasts are more preval...
is a lipophilic yeast that is part of the normal flora of adult skin. A variety of factors, including sebaceous gland activity, humidity, heredity, and corticosteroid treatment, may be influential in allowing it to become an opportunistic pathogen. Recently, several investigators have examined the ...

A fine balance between growth control of microorganisms of the normal vaginal flora and a rapid elimination of pathogens is crucial for the maintenance of epithelial integrity and func- tion. The epithelial cells of the vaginal mucosa represent the first line of defense against infections. They ...
