Relationships between Leaky Gut, Candida, Heavy Metals & Parasites, Parasites and Heavy Metals

Candida is the one common factor shared by all 3 of these other systemic conditions.

Deciding which of these problems you are actually experiencing and needing to treat can be difficult. Often a few months after completing a Candida cleanse people find that they are again experiencing Candida symptoms or the Candida has come back.

Its not until we get the one common denominator(Candida) eliminated and the digestion tract repopulated with the good flora, (Acidophilus & Bifidum) that we are then able to narrow things down a bit and see if the Candida has actually retuned, or if there is yet another underlying issue.

Leaky Gut can occur as a result of not having enough good floras in our intestines. The cells in most areas of the body are very close to one another. The cells in the intestinal tract are farther apart, leaving more room for Candida, parasites, heavy metal deposits or other bad bacteria's. Candida grows rhizoids, finger like protrusions, which burrow into the intestinal walls. Parasites will often do the same kind of damage. Once these conditions perforate the wall of the intestine, toxins from decaying, partially digested food and other bacteria can enter the bloodstream. When this happens we have what is known as Leaky Gut Syndrome. Toxicity symptoms continue to plague us, even though we may be doing all kinds of cleansing to feel better. 

L-Glutamine is an amino acid (a protein building block) whose main function is to support cellular growth, energy and repair. It plays a role in the health of the immune system, the digestive tract and the muscles. L-glutamine is very helpful in repairing leaky gut and restoring intestinal health.  Probiotics such as Acidophilus & Bifidum live in the spaces between the cells leaving less room for those pesky invaders to set up house. Probiotics also create Vitamin K, another common deficiency found in those with systemic Candida. That's why taking Probiotics is so important to your maintenance, after you've completed your Candida cleanse.  It maintains the healthy environment you've worked so hard to establish.

Parasitic infestations are more common than we realize. Candida and heavy metals create an anaerobic (lacking oxygen) and acidic environment they thrive in. Many Parasite symptoms are confused with Candida. For instance, brain fog, fatigue, memory problems, intestinal & digestive complaints can be parasites rather than Candida. Parasites also inhabit dark warm moist places, especially where there is mucus, such as in the intestines and respiratory system. Chronic coughing up of phlegm, or a nagging dull headache are often indicators of a parasitic infestation.

Heavy Metals create an acidic, andanarobic environment in the body. This is the perfect living conditions for parasites and Candida. We all have Candida in our intestinal flora. It's there for a reason. One benefit it gives, when it's not overgrown and causing us problems, is it binds to heavy metals, especially mercury. As the Candida dies, it then releases Mercury and other heavy metal toxins into the body, thus we experience this strange mirage of symptoms and struggle to understand why we aren't getting better if we are cleansing.

So you can see how treating Candida alone may not relieve you of all your symptoms and discomforts.
