Description
Candida overgrowth can sit quietly in the body for years before turning into something serious, including the heart condition infective endocarditis. Signs like a white tongue coating or a bloated belly after fruit can be early indicators worth paying attention to.
A study of seventy patients with this condition found hospital mortality at thirty six percent and one year mortality at fifty nine percent, with Candida directly damaging heart valves and causing embolism in many cases.
Part of what makes Candida difficult to address in clinical settings is its pleomorphic nature, meaning it can shift between beneficial and harmful states depending on factors like diet, stress, sleep, and environment.
You can test for Candida with functional medical tests, so address it now if it's a problem.
The study is linked in the comments for anyone who wants to review it directly. 🫀📊
