Causes of Candida: Four Major Factors

1. A Weakened Immune System
   • Genetic weakness
   • Steroids, birth control pills, antibiotics, cortisone
   • Chronic infections
   • Poor nutrition
   • Prolonged illness
   • Stress
   • Alcohol abuse
   • Smoking
   • Lack of exercise
   • Lack of rest
2. Hormonal Imbalance
   • Conditions provoking hormonal swings such as puberty, pregnancy, excessive pregnancies, menstruation, PMS, oral contraceptiives, clinical hormones - all create a favorable environment for candida.
3. Improper Diet
   • Especially diets high in sugar consumption. Yeast rapidly metabolizes sugar and leaves behind toxic levels of waste.
4. Lack of Friendly Bacteria
   • Friendly bacteria are absolutely required for proper digestion, assimilation and elimination of the foods we eat. Friendly bacteria are killed off by antibiotics, birth control pills, and chemicals. Food containing antibiotic and steroid residue (poultry, eggs, meat, and milk) can adversely affect friendly bacteria levels.

What Natali Chiropractic and Family Health Care Center has to offer :

Here's the good news: you don't have to guess whether or not candida is linked to your health concerns. Applied Kinesiology and Muscle Testing will locate or disprove the presence and severity of candida. These techniques evaluate and address the body as a whole. As a result, no two programs will be alike, regardless if the presenting condition is the same. We have Western, Chinese, Native American, and Ayurvedic herbs. We also use homeopathic and Bach Flower remedies. What all these choices have in common is that they are ALL-NATURAL and RESTORATIVE to the body. Unlike drugs, these remedies promote optimal function of the immune system. Each remedy is muscle-tested on the client before being recommended by the practitioner. We monitor and frequently recheck the dose and duration of your remedies, as the need for them should decline over time. As balance is gradually restored to your body, your body will be able to do more and more on its own. Your body has EVERYTHING to say about what it needs to be well, and we listen!
