What Is Candida And How Does It Affect Autism

Acidic environments present the perfect breathing ground for many illnesses and disease. That is why over acidity in the body’s atmosphere can produce an overgrowth of Candida and somehow help it to sustain itself at that high level.

Normally, Candida Albicans which is a yeast fungus lives in harmony with other micro-organisms in the body. It is normally kept in check by the bacteria Lactobacilli.

Continued stress, illness or antibiotics weaken the body’s immune system which destroys the helpful organism Lactobacilli because this organism is supported by the immune system. In this case, Candida can thrive and excess levels of sugar in the body will worsen your situation.

ACIDITY IS THE ROOT CAUSE
If we modify and change our dietary patterns and eating habits, we will eliminate the problem. So how can we treat an over-acid condition and free ourselves of an over growth of Candida? By drinking alkaline water.

The pH level of the internal fluids of the body is a barometer for a persons health. It affects every cell in our body. Our metabolism works well only in the presence of a natural alkaline balance in the body. An imbalance in the pH level makes the bodily fluids acidic and this is dangerous as this acidity damages body tissue, gradually eroding veins and arteries. Failure to restore this balance results in a potential abnormality in all aspects of normal body functions, from the heart rhythm to the brain functions can be potentially impaired. In a nutshell, acidity invites disease.

CANDIDA AND IT'S AFFECT ON AUTISM
According to Stephen M. Edelson PhD., of the Center for the Study of Autism in Salem, Oregon, an overgrowth of yeast releases toxins into the body that impair the central nervous and immune systems.

Some of the behavior problems which have been linked to an overgrowth of candida albicans include: confusion, hyperactivity, short attention span, lethargy, irritability, and aggression. Symptoms can include: headaches, stomachaches, constipation, gas pains, fatigue, and depression. These problems are often worse during damp and/or muggy days and in moldy places. Additionally, exposure to perfumes can worsen the condition.

For some individuals medication is prescribed to help eliminate the problems caused by Candida. However, there are other non-medical ways to rid your body of candida and excess acidity.

A SAFE WAY TO TREAT CANDIDA:
Drink Alkaline Ionized Water. Alkaline ionized water neutralizes acids and helps to flush them from the system while treating the root cause of most disorders…Over-Acidity.

Ionized water is an energy-rich, antioxidant-rich, free radical fighting water produced from ordinary tap water. As your tap water passes through a healing water ionizer, it is divided into two streams, one alkaline and the other acidic. When it gets to your glass it is micro-clustered for easy absorption and maximum hydration.
