health discussion has abundant information about fibromyalgia.Fatigue and Candida

There are many ways that Candida and poor intestinal flora can contribute to fatigue.

1.    Toxins from yeast and bacteria can interfere with energy production by the cell’s mitochondria.

2.    Epstein-Barr, Herpes, CMV and other viruses are associated with chronic fatigue. These are normally kept in check by your cell-mediated immunity. Intestinal yeast suppress your cell-mediated immunity and thus make it more difficult for your body to keep these viruses in check.

3.    Thyroid hormone is required for energy production. Thyroid hormone levels can be suppressed by the body’s reaction to the intestinal flora and its toxins.

4.    Poor flora can lead to alterations in your immune system that can promote the formation of fibrin. When fibrin coats your capillaries, this can interfere with oxygen getting to your cells.

5.    Good flora helps your body digest food and acquire the nutrients that your body needs to function properly.

6.    Poor flora interferes with the nutrition needed to produce energy. Eg. Yeast destroy coenzyme Q10 before your body gets a chance to absorb it. Coenzyme Q10 is very important for cellular energy production. Yeast also reduce alpha ketoglutaric acid in the body. This interferes with the Krebs energy cycle.

7.    Intestinal inflammation depletes the body of sulfates. The liver needs sulfates to detoxify many harmful substances that interfere with the production of energy in the body.
