Candida Infection

Candida is Latin for yeast in the body. Candida is a type of fungus that flourishes in an unhealthy, acidic body. Candida can be found normally in a healthy digestive tract. Unfortunately, Candida grows very rapidly and can overrun the entire body. We commonly hear of Candida infections by women getting yeast infections or children getting thrush.
