Candida Albicans
Candida Albicans is a fungus (a form of yeast) that, under normal circumstances, lives in 80 percent of the human population with no harmful effects.
However, Candida Albicans overgrowth results in candidiasis, commonly called yeast infection or thrush. Yeast organisms are always present in all people, but are usually prevented from “overgrowth” (uncontrolled multiplication resulting in symptoms) by naturally occurring microorganisms.
At least three quarters of all women will experience candidiasis at some point in their lives. The Candida Albicans organism is found in the vaginas of almost all women and normally causes no problems. However, when it gets out of balance with the other “normal flora,” such as lactobacilli (which can also be harmed by using douches), an overgrowth and symptoms can result.
The most common Candida Albicans symptoms include chronic fatigue (especially after eating), depression, bloating, gas, cramps, chronic diarrhea or constipation, rectal itching, allergies, severe PMS, impotence, memory loss, severe mood swings, recurrent fungal infections (such as athlete’s foor), extreme sensitivity to chemicals (perfumes, smoke, odors, etc.) and lighheadedness.
Candidiasis can be successfully treated either with home remedies or, in the case of a more severe infection, with either over the counter or prescription antifungal medications.
Home remedies for Candida Albicans overgrowth include the consumption of yogurt, which contains lactobacillus (a bacteria that kills yeast), acidophilus tablets or salves, and even lightly crushed cloves of garlic which yields allicin, an antifungal.

The drugs commonly used to treat candidiasis are nystatin, ketoconazole or amphotericin B in varying concentrations and applications.
If indicated, an underlying reason for Candida Albicans overgrowth should be looked for.
As an example, oral candidiasis is often linked to the use of inhaled steroids in asthma medication. Patients on long term inhaled steroids should rinse their mouth after each dose of steroids.
Babies with diaper rash should have their diaper areas kept clean, dry, and exposed to air as much as possible.
