Why you suffer from these symptoms

These yeast infection symptoms are caused by the toxic effects of the Candida yeast. The symptoms can become chronic because Candida yeast is known to produce around 79 different toxins that attack your immune system.

If you have the fungal form of Candida living in your intestines then this yeast can flood your body with toxic acetylaldehydes which are know to be poisonous to you body's tissues. This is why you have symptoms that affect your brain, muscles and joints.

If you're suffering from any of the symptoms above you probably already know, or will know that your doctor can't help you now. If fact, whatever your doctor prescribes you will only make your Candida overgrowth and its symptoms worse.
