Candida Albicans is a fungus that appears in the body since the birth. In fact, when the baby crosses the birth channel, he gets infected, because this fungus lives in the vaginal secretions of pregnant women. From this moment Candida will colonize the small intestine mucous , which is its real house. As long as the number of colonies is moderate, Candida will be a saprophyte, this means that it won't be dangerous. If  the immune system gets depressed, the number of the colonies will increase. 

In this case Candida could show itself through its "second houses" , such as vaginal infections, burnings at penis level, fungus skin spots, "thrush", foot of athlete and so on. Instead , the 79 toxins produced from Candida and directed to the central nervous system and to the secondary immune system (intestinal), will provoke minor effects.

Candida infection will appear in those subjects suffering from psychosomatic pathologies. The toxins can even modify thoughts. Have you ever wished very much Pane (bread) Pizza, Pasta Potatoes (called by Doctor Enzo Di Maio "the four P") Sweets or Sugar? It is not your body asking for them but it is Candida. It feeds itself of simple carbohydrates (sugar) and when it needs them, it sends some toxins to your brain to make you eat. After lunch it will send other toxins to your brain to make you stop eating. You will feel an abdominal swelling so you will think "but what did I eat?  I've just had a small piece of bread or a small piece of cake!"  

There is a very long list of pathologies connected with Candida. It would be better to remember some of them. 

The smaller ones:

GASTRITIS, COLITIS (with constipation or diarrhea), Several digestives disorders, DEPRESSION (see Syndrome from Chronic Hard work), ANXIETY, EXCESSIVELY FAT, ANOREXIA, recurrent INSOMNIA, VAGINITY or CYSTITIS, HERPES in its various manifestation, CONDILOMI and MICROCONDILOMI from  HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), HEADACHE, INTOLERANCE, SEBORROICAL DERMATITIS, etc...

The most important:

PSORIASIS, RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, LUPUS, CRHON DISEASE, DIABETES of  adult, DEPRESSIONS, GASTRO - DUODENAL ULCER, ALLERGIC ASTHMA, ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION.

According to the American statistics, the 70% or 80% of world population (see bibliography) suffers from the Chronis infection of Candida. In the last 15 - 20 years there was a remarkable increasing in many pathologies, called psychosomatics,  and other general manifestations of Candida. This is caused by many factors such as: an indiscriminate use of antibiotics, use of central nervous system drugs  (ant depressives, tranquillizers, sleeping pills), use of cortisones, contraceptive pills,  ant ulcers (cimetidina, etc), massive use of tooth amalgam (the dark stopping, contains mercury), the exaggerated use of conserving and colouring and grain products, too.

It is possible to do many clinical checking such as, for example, the search for Candida in the blood, in faeces, in the urine, in vaginal or penis secretion. A questionary can be very useful for statistics.

Once found the Candida's Chronic Infection, the best thing to do is beginning a personal therapy, according to the Ayurvedic medicine's philosophy, verifying firstly the individual constitution and, secondly, the pathology.

It will be possible to solve the problem through alimentary or not alimentary devices.                                                                                                         

  PSORIASIS APPROACH  could be:

ALIMENTARY based on a constitution test, on alimentary intolerances, and the search for chronic infections by Candida.  The main aim is to restore the lost balance through an healthy alimentation. It will be studied according to every constitutional kind.

NOT ALIMENTARY based on the use of supplements which help in the re-establishment of the immunitary system without using drugs.
