Disease-causing yeast versus the beneficial (good) bacteria
By Marc J. Bielski, M.D.
According to many researchers, the beneficial (good) bacteria’s health is inversely proportional to the prevalence of candidiasis. In other words, the greater the population of beneficial bacteria, the less likely disease-causing yeast will cause problems. So, anything that injures or destroys the beneficial bacteria will permit the proliferation and colonization of disease-causing yeast.
Numerous factors adversely affect our population of beneficial bacteria, encouraging the colonization and mischief of disease-causing yeast, creating gastrointestinal candidiasis. In addition, with respect to invasive candidiasis, evidence indicates disease-causing yeast do not tend to invade the gut wall unless the beneficial bacteria have been disturbed. In short, the beneficial bacteria are essential for the health of our gut.
Research reveals some of the ways disease-causing yeast can infect the gut. Simply put, disease-causing yeast infect the gastrointestinal tract by directly adhering to the gut wall, sticking to its mucus, being trapped within it, or attaching to a microorganism (fungus or bacteria) colonizing the gut wall.
A multitude of studies establish candidiasis as a legitimate medical malady. Since the presence and assistance of the beneficial bacteria is essential to prevent this condition, candidiasis has been highly correlated and associated with the use and abuse of antibiotics.
In fact, anything that disrupts the beneficial bacteria strongly predisposes someone to candidiasis, especially assaults by other infectious invaders. When the number of beneficial bacteria overwhelms the infectious invaders, little or no problems occur. When this balance is disrupted, problems will arise.
