
A benign sugar
fermenting yeast.
Integral part of
intestinal ecology in
small amounts.
One of 600 strains
of Candida.
Can cause disease
when overgrowth
occurs.
What is Candida albicans?

Candida is a yeast that
is normally harmless as
a single-celled fungus.
If it changes into a
mycelial form it can
take root in tissues
and colonize.
Ecological Balance in GI Tract
Candida causes “leaky gut”
Imbalance of GI yeast vs good bacteria.

Immune dysfunction:
◦
◦
◦
◦

Exposure to toxic metals.
Internal toxins from poor digestion.
Stress
HIV
Reduction of good bacteria in the gut:
◦ Consumption of refined carbohydrates,
alcohol and caffeine.
◦ Antibiotics
◦ Immunosuppresive medications.

Upset in intestinal pH:
◦ Acid blocking medications.
◦ Decreasing digestive enzymes and HCL as we
age.
What causes Candida to grow?
Proliferation of Candida

Releases waste products called mycotoxins
(poisons) and oxalates.

These further weaken the immune system.
Candida By-products
Candida Toxic Waste = Acetaldehyde


Affects Central Nervous
System.
Interferes with
hormone metabolism:

Increased blood
alcohol levels.
◦ Brain fog symptoms
◦ Pituitary
◦ Thyroid
◦ Adrenal glands
Auto-Brewery Syndrome

Digestion of proteins =
beta-alanine.

Lowers Taurine levels.
◦ Taurine increases uptake
of magnesium & potassium
inside our cells.
◦ Taurine binds toxins and
removes them from the
liver.
Candida By-products

Silver amalgam dental fillings
have 53% mercury!

Mercury has an antibiotic
effect.

Difficult to control yeast
overgrowth.
Heavy Metals affect Candida
Women are more susceptible!
Women are 8
times more likely
to have a yeast
syndrome.
 Vaginal yeast
infections:

◦ With Antibiotics
◦ During pregnancy
◦ Using Oral
contraceptives
(OCP)

Progestin from OCP:
◦ Changes vaginal lining
◦ Causes release of yeastfeeding sugar into
bloodstream.

Candida Transmission
◦ Sexually
◦ Mother to newborn
 Thrush
 Diaper Rash
Candida affects all ages & gender
3 primary causes
 Parasites
 Hormonal
imbalance
 Food allergies

Antibiotics
Corticosteroid drugs
Compromised Immune System
Damp, moldy environment
Diet high in refined carbs

Stress
Decreased digestive secretions
Impaired liver function (NAFLD)
Altered bowel flora (bacteria balance)
Pregnancy
Predisposing Factors



Chronic fatigue
Brain fog (↑ acetaldehyde)
Anxiety
Depression
Food cravings
◦ Sweets, alcohol,
carbonated drinks
Hyperactivity &
learning disabilities
 Decreased libido
 Autoimmune disorders
 Headaches
 Eczema, psoraisis

Muscle aches
 Arthritis
 Bladder infections
 Gas & bloating

Diarrhea

Urticaria (hives)
Diabetes
Causes Major Health Issues

Mycotoxins in the bloodstream!
◦ Normally, the lining of the intestinal tract
prevents mycotoxins from entering the blood.
 Toxins
 Microorganisms
 Undigested food particles
◦ The body launches an immune reaction that
causes the allergic response.
Candida = Allergies
Healthy live blood
cell analysis vs
unhealthy
Leaky gut

Candida toxins in the bloodstream filter
through the liver.

From there, they proceed to other organs.
◦ Brain, Nervous System, joints, skin, etc.

If impaired liver detoxification ability
these toxins will not be eliminated and
can initiate states of chronic disease.
◦ Inadequate nutrition, poor cellular health
and/or toxic overload impair detoxification.
Candida Affects All Systems

◦ Essential oils
 Lemon, melaleuca,
oregano.
 GX assist capsules

Dietary changes!
 Gluten free
 Diary free
 YEAST FREE
 Consider other grains
 Corn/soy (consider)
 Try to do organic meats
and eggs


Omega 3 Fatty Acid

◦ Restores moisture to GI
tract.
◦ At least 2000 mg daily
Fiber
◦ 4-5 grams twice/day
◦ Absorbs toxins
◦ Reduce “die off”
reaction w/Candida

Vitamin D3
◦ At least 1,000 iu/day
◦ Helps heal leaky gut
and decrease
inflammation.



Candida Treatment
◦ Important to treat
Candida aggressively
and consistently.
◦ Candida can become
resistant to some
treatments.
◦ Essential oils have
many constituents
making resistance less
likely.
◦ Mix up your oils when
treating Candida.

Essential Oils for
targeted areas:
◦ Thyme & Clary Sage,
Clary Calm – female,
◦ Coriander & Myrrh – skin
◦ Cinnamon – blood sugar
◦ Clove – Thyroid
◦ Rosemary – Adrenals
◦ Grapefruit - Energy
◦ Take internally
◦ Apply to bottom of
feet
Candida and doTERRA
Candida overgrowth affects 8 out
of 10 people.
Dietary changes are the single
most important change necessary
to control Candida.
Improve your vitality & energy
while preventing inflammation
and chronic disease.
