Invasive Systemic Candidiasis – Why It’s All in Your Head

We know that the brain sits roughly on top of our neck, is encased within a hard outer shell called the skull and that it controls our thoughts and emotions. The only time that we really give it a second thought are when we have a headache, can’t concentrate or get writers-block!

But how many of us have actually thought any deeper than that?

What would happen if something were to attack it? How much do you know about how the brain functions and how it could be affected by something like Invasive Systemic Candidiasis? How many of you would even be aware that something was wrong?

How many of you shake when you are nervous? Not many?

OK, then, how many of you get night sweats?

How many find it really hard to lose weight even though you have consistently eaten properly and exercised, or what about those that have digestion problems?

What about crazy mood swings – especially at certain times of the month?

All of these are pretty common examples that the intricate messaging system in the brain is not functioning quite as well as it should. Even pain in your legs, arms and joints may be attributed to those signals from your brain.

One of the reasons is because there are certain glands and receptors contained within the brain that control the release of hormones designed to control your pain, deal with stress, tell you that you are hungry and so on. When these are under interfered with, as Invasive Systemic Candidiasis does, then the signals get very distorted and your body begins to react very differently than it was designed to do.

A simple way of demonstrating this would be for you to imagine an air traffic control tower. Think somewhere super busy – like LAX or Gatwick.

Imagine the air traffic controllers in their tower controlling all those planes and co-ordinating a safe landing for their passengers every 30 seconds. Now, imagine if one of the air traffic controllers was drunk. The planes may land safely, but there may also be a couple of close calls and a whole bunch of strange instructions being delivered.

This is what makes Invasive Systemic Candidiasis so very sneaky and dangerous. Many of the symptoms of that you are under attack are so subtle that you may think that they are just part of ‘that time of the month’, due to the heat, a food allergy, a stress reaction or even just a fact of getting older. It is also why your symptoms are so varied. If you have gone to your doctor chances are that they will probably have just shrugged their shoulders and put you on a system of management. You know, pain killers, anti-depressants, muscle relaxants. Stuff that will make your life liveable rather than addressing the cause of your discomfort.

Your symptoms of Invasive Systemic Candidiasis are directly related to the part of the brain and body that the Candida are attacking. Unfortunately when you have a run in with them on your toe, you can see it well enough, but by the time that you can see the infection on a scan your illness will already be very serious.
