Here is an interesting one for you. In many forms of Asian medicine “Candida” is referred to as the “Drunken Illness”. Interestingly enough there is a very good reason.
As a lot of Candida sufferers are aware Candida was not a recognised illness in western medicines until the late 90’s. This does not mean in Asian medicine it was not. In fact it was recognised way back and given the nick name the Drunken Illness. The truth behind the name is interesting.
As we know candida is a yeast overgrowth infection caused by too much yeast in the bowels and allergies being formed by this infection. When food is eaten in this state, the bowels react differently than a healthy body, they almost ferment the food and cause a reaction similar in nature to producing alcohol. In many ways some of the symptoms of Candida would simply of been the fermentation causing negative effects.
In extreme circumstances of Candida (chronic infection) some testimonies claim to be over the limit alcohol wise due to Candida, not due to drinking. In fact it goes so far as people being pulled over for drink driving and the person not drinking all day. So it appears in some circumstances Candida is almost like a home brewing system inside.
That give you something to think about hey. Is Candida in many ways like a long, long hangover..?
