Parasite & Candida Screening

Whether to your surprise or not, according to the World Health Organization 60% of us carry some type of parasites.

These microscopic organisms find their way into our bodies through numerous aspects of everyday life. Parasites are typically transmitted through the air, food, water, and may even be contracted to a child during birth. If action is not taken to eliminate parasites there remains a chance to affect one’s health both physically and mentally.

Due to the wide variety of parasites the symptoms associated also vary greatly.

Some of the Symptoms of Parasite Infection:

• Feeling tired most of the time, sleeping problems
• Anemia
• Constipation, diarrhea
• Skin condition
• Restlessness, anxiety or depression
• Joint or muscle pain
• Itchy nose, ears or anus
• Forgetfulness
• Fast heartbeat
• Heart pain
• Yeast infection

Most often symptoms such as gas, bloating, low energy, fatigue, clouded thinking, weakened immune system and nutrient deficiencies are associated. People can experience the same effects for different scenarios, which is why having a parasite is not always the first assumption. Because people tend to be very unaware of the fact that the prevalence of these organisms are rapidly increasing in North America, it is recommended to screen yourself routinely. The earlier parasites are detected the better chance of saving yourself from their harmful side effects.

What is Candida?

You may have heard of Candida, but do you know what it means? Are you aware 80% of the North American population has been affected by Candida?

Candida can be defined as an overgrowth of yeast inside the intestine often associated with parasites. Its job is to aid with digestion and nutrient absorption but, when overproduced, candida breaks down the wall of the intestine and penetrates the bloodstream, releasing toxic byproducts into your body and causing leaky gut. This can lead to many different health problems, ranging from digestive issues to depression.

How do you get Candida overgrowth?

The healthy bacteria in your gut typically keep your candida levels in check. However, several factors can cause the candida population to get out of hand.:

• Eating a diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugar (which feed the yeast)
• Consuming a lot of alcohol
• Taking oral contraceptives
• Eating a diet high in beneficial fermented foods like Kombucha, sauerkraut and pickles (While fermented foods are great for your “good” bacteria, unfortunately, the “bad” bacteria also feed off these foods)
• Living a high-stress lifestyle
• Taking a round of antibiotics that killed too many of those friendly bacteria

Common Candida Symptoms:

• Skin and nail fungal infections (such as athlete’s foot or toenail fungus)
• Feeling tired and worn down or suffering from chronic fatigue
• Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
• Autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Psoriasis, Scleroderma or Multiple sclerosis
• Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, lack of focus, ADD, ADHD and brain fog
• Skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, hives, and rashes
• Irritability, mood swings, anxiety, or depression
• Vaginal infections, urinary tract infections, rectal itching or vaginal itching
• Severe seasonal allergies or itchy ears
• Strong sugar and refined carbohydrate cravings
