Candida, Fungal Overgrowth & Metals in Your Body: Help For Women

When our bodies are inundated with heavy metals, our digestive systems mount drastic defensive measures, and one of those defenses against metals’ toxicity may be Candida or fungal overgrowth to absorb them, essentially trying to keep them from being absorbed by or lodged within your body’s cells.

Toxic compounds kill beneficial bacteria if for no other reason than that they’re toxic. Pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs designed to kill microbes will do the same thing inside humans once digested. Inhaled steroids used to treat asthma have also been shown to cause oral candidiasis, which makes one wonder what happens in the gut with steroid use.

People with mercury fillings are often subject to Candida outbreaks. Tiny particles break free, and mercury vapor is released that we then inhale and swallow. The body doesn’t just slough off the mercury. Its molecular structure is so similar to selenium, which the body needs, the cells snap it up as if it were a beneficial mineral. In the gut, mercury creates an environment that is not friendly for beneficial bacteria. An overgrowth of “bad bacteria” and Candida results.

The majority of fungal conditions or chronic infections should be considered a conscious adaptation of the immune system to an otherwise lethal environment by heavy metals. Mercury suffocates the mechanism and can cause respiratory intracellular cell death. So the immune system reaches a compromise: Grow bacteria and yeasts that can bind large amounts of toxic metals.” – Dr Dietrich Klinghardt

Some doctors specializing in Candida treatment have reported that they have discovered clinically that 98% of their patients with chronic Candida also had mercury toxicity.” – Dr. John P. Trowbridge

Mercury vapors from dental fillings play havoc on the body through a host of means, the least of which is to feed the bacteria, fungi, and yeasts that thrive on mercury. Mercury will promote the growth of Candida, though as it absorbs the mercury, it thereby protects the system to a certain extent from its toxicity – until they are saturated then they begin to re-release the mercury in organic form. Mercury fed Candida become more and more virulent and eventually penetrates the intestinal walls and invades the cells. These fungal microorganisms become quite at home in the cell, and can easily be considered a principle characteristic of cancer.” – Dr. Mark Sircus

Endocrine disrupters interrupt hormones in ways that Candida find beneficial. Candida likes estrogen. Too much estrogen helps support Candida in a variety of ways. Candida also produces a waste product that, in the human body, mimics estrogen.

With enough Candida in the body, the endocrine system can lower the acidity of the digestive tract, the urinary tract, and the reproductive systems. Candida can effectively raise the pH level in parts of the body to make it more alkaline the way Candida likes it, creating a feedback loop. Other areas of the body quickly get too acidic, promoting more disease. (source)

Antidepressants alter gut function. Antidepressants that influence the neurotransmitter serotonin are particularly egregious.  NSAIDs can damage the entire intestinal tract. NSAIDs often damage the mucosal lining of the stomach (causing ulcers) and the small intestine. (source)

Toxic compounds don’t have to reach the gut to cause problems. Toxins damage our cells just like they damage microbes when we breathe toxins in or absorb the compounds through our skin. The pathogens will come to feed off of the damage. We could go on endlessly about how all of the most talked-about toxic compounds reak havoc in the gut and the immune system, but it’s all the same. They do damage to the body and they strain the immune system which puts the body out of balance and leads to infection.

Think of infection as the garbage men. It’s their job to consume the garbage, the damage, the decay of our bodies. If we have a lot of damage to feed infection (or too much sugar), the infection takes over the body, and the damage its presence ensues helps to feed its own cycle.

Why Does Candida Make Us Sick? Why Is It So Resilient?!?!

Candida mutates and develops resistance towards treatment. It has been found that Candida Albicans has the ability to rearrange its genes and adapt to many methods of eradication that may be used against it, including antifungal medications, oxidative stress, and temperature increases.

When Candida has access to the bloodstream (which happens with a leaky gut), it can colonize in the sinus cavities, glands, and organs in the body, including the skin and the brain.

The cell wall of Candida is made up of mostly sugars and proteins. One of the sugars that make up the cell wall of Candida is called beta-glucans. Beta-glucans are also used as a structural building block for Candida biofilm. The beta-glucans can stimulate and suppress the immune system of the host.

Usually, what is needed is a many pronged approach to candida. Here is a very helpful addition if you are already using a protocol.

Detoxification of Candida

The same detoxification product we used to rid our bodies of dementia-causing prions almost 3 years ago, also has an affinity for heavy metals and toxins, so, when you use TRS (nano-zeolites) to detox chromium from the intestinal walls [1], or the mercury and lead from the digestive system, etc., then candida and friends naturally begins to starve and die off.

Many TRS (nanozeolite) users are surprised at how quickly their bodies start to release candida fungal overgrowth [2], and now we know WHY TRS zeolites detox so well against it [3].

Why is TRS so effective against Candida?

Removing the metals from the candida/fungal mass strips the yeast of its food, and the candida is sloughed off as a result.

Overgrowth of candida biofilm does not continue to form, and over time intestinal yeast is balanced as a result.

Interestingly, it turns out refined sugar is riddled with toxic metals!

“… it was found that the refined sugar of alimentary grade contained: 57 (Copper), 34 (Zinc), 1 (Cadmium), and 6 (Lead) μg/kg of dry sugar….”

TRS is attracted to toxic metals and binding them out of the body primarily through urine and stool.

9. Because of its ability to pull excess minerals out of the body, TRS (a clinoptilolite nano-zeolite) can theoretically be helpful against pathogens when those pathogens require heavy metals to complete their DNA chains: https://academic.oup.com/femspd/article/43/2/105/604210
