“Candida and Multiple Sclerosis”

Those who suffer from Candida and multiple sclerosis (MS) sometimes have more to worry about than just their neurological disease. Multiple sclerosis is a condition where the nerves lose their protective myelin sheath, resulting in multiple areas of nerve damage throughout the body.

According to western medicine there is no cure for the disease. Researchers believe that Multiple Sclerosis is an auto-immune condition involving the body’s immune system attacking the myelin around the nerves.

Anytime someone has an auto-immune disorder, they have two related problems. First, the rest of their immune system is dysfunctional and they become more prone to other immune conditions or infections. Second, they sometimes must take medicines to alter the immune system’s response. Medicines like steroids can be used as well as other immune-related treatments. Both of these secondary problems create an environment ripe for the development of infections, including pathogenic Candida.

Candida and Multiple Sclerosis is often not noticed initially. If the intestinal tract is overgrown with Yeast, the Candida and Multiple Sclerosis symptoms related to bowel problems and to the toxicity from toxins absorbed into the system, can easily be written off as being related to the MS. Candida releases over 70 of its own toxins into the body through the bowel wall that is made leakier by the overgrowth of Candida.

Environmental toxins or bacterial toxins can invade the body, leaving the person with MS tired, aching all over or weak—all Candida symptoms that one would think was a temporary exacerbation of Multiple Sclerosis.

Some MS patients are relatively immobile due to their disease. The immobility can lead to poor skin integrity and the development of Candida-related skin rashes in the groin or in areas affected by excessive pressure on the skin. These patients can also be hospitalized frequently and can become exposed to more dangerous strains of Candida that reside in most hospitals because of the common antibiotic use in the facility.

Patients with Candida and Multiple Sclerosis need to maintain a constant awareness of their poor immune status and to consider that preventative measures may be necessary to overcome the favorable Candida conditions inside their bodies.

Maintaining skin integrity is a must. Keeping skin folds clean and dry is also very important. The preventative use of antifungal nutritional supplements like probiotics can maintain an environment where Candida is kept from causing worsened symptoms in persons already suffering from a disabling disorder.
