Candida albicans

What is Candida albicans?

Candida albicans is a yeast that naturally occurs in our large intestine. In a healthy gut flora, this yeast is kept in check by lactic acid bacteria. However, when this balance is disrupted, due to antibiotics, nutritional deficiencies, stress, or hormonal changes, the yeast can mutate into a fungus and start to overgrow. This is known as dysbiosis.

From the intestines, the fungus can pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream and spread to other organs, potentially leading to systemic candidiasis. This may manifest as skin problems, vaginal infections, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, or even mental health symptoms.

How does Mesology detect a Candida dysbiosis?

Candida is often difficult to detect through standard blood tests. That’s why a mesologist looks at the full picture: your symptoms, lifestyle, diet, medical history, and uses electrophysiological testing to identify imbalances in the gut flora.

What sets Mesology apart is that it not only looks at the presence of Candida, but also investigates the underlying cause of the overgrowth. One of those causes may be a functional Candida infection.

The link between Candida and heavy metals

Recent research has shown that Candida albicans is capable of binding and reducing heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium into less harmful forms. This mechanism helps the body reduce the toxicity of these metals. However, as long as the underlying heavy metal burden is not addressed, Candida will continue to return.

The mesological approach to Candida

A mesological consultation focuses on:

• Identifying the dysbiosis

• Assessing potential toxic overload

• Restoring gut flora with herbs and orthomolecular supplements

• Providing personalized nutritional guidance

• Offering detox support if heavy metals are involved

Diet plays a key role. Foods such as refined flour, sugar, alcohol, and mushrooms are avoided. Instead, the focus is on an anti-inflammatory, fiber-rich diet that supports the immune system.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ

1. What is the difference between a Candida infection and dysbiosis?

   An infection is an acute, often visible condition (such as oral thrush or vaginal infection). Dysbiosis is a chronic imbalance in the gut flora in which Candida overgrows silently.

   
   

2. How does a mesologist detect Candida?

   Through a detailed case history, tongue and pulse diagnostics, electrophysiological measurements, and sometimes lab tests such as stool analysis.

   
   

3. Why does my Candida keep coming back?

   There may be a functional overgrowth triggered by toxic load. Without addressing this root cause, Candida will continue to reappear.

   
   

4. Do I always need to follow a diet for Candida?

   Yes, nutrition is essential. An anti-Candida diet, in combination with herbs and supplements, is often a key part of the treatment.

   
   

5. Can Mesology help with systemic Candidiasis?

   Yes, particularly when done in collaboration with conventional healthcare, especially in severe cases. Mesology provides supportive care and helps restore internal balance.

   
   

6. Can I have Candida without knowing it?

   Absolutely. Vague symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, or digestive discomfort may point to silent Candida dysbiosis.

   
   

7. How quickly will I see results?

   Many people notice improvements within a few weeks, depending on the severity of the condition and the treatment plan.
