Anxiety is described as the experience of intense restlessness and the inability to maintain calmness due to the increasing low level of panic. Clinical research has proved that candida is the root cause of almost all cases of anxiety. This is because the presence of excess candida in our system produces numerous toxic chemicals in the blood stream which the liver will not be able to completely eliminate effectively.
The increase in concentration of these toxic chemicals affects our nervous systems. They are the ones that trigger anxiety in many patients. An occurrence recorded after patients have consumed foods such as alcohol or B vitamins
What conventional means of treating Candida assume is the eventual mental health effect after reducing the Candida level to normal. This effect has been researched to arise from the Brain. Many shoulder that after treating Candia which occurs at our Intestinal system, there could be nothing of great concern to require further Medication attention. However, a record of increased anxiety on candida patients disputed this fact.
How the Gastro-intestinal Tract affects the Brain
For any form of candida treatment to be proved effective, any form of anxiety or mood imbalance must be well addressed. Anxiety is a mental health effect that falls among other mood imbalances conditions such as depression, irritability, lack of concentration, poor memory and brain Fog.
Our Gut secretes about 90- 95 % of a neurotransmitter known as Serotonin. The secretion of this neurotransmitter ensures that there is proper regulation of our mood. Hence a deficiency of serotonin neurotransmitter can lead to mood imbalance. The causes of this insufficiency are:
- The overgrowth of candida in our tracts creates a layer that covers the intestinal walls. This layer actually inhibits the production of serotonin. Thus a low level of this neurotransmitter leads to increased anxiety.
- Majority of antidepressant are known to block the brains receptors for serotonin. Therefore caution must be taken towards the intake of antidepressant for candida patients’
The provision of an effective mode of medication to Candida patient must not only address the overgrowth of this fungus but also reduce the anxiety level in patients.
