Why did I get Candida? This is a question I was asked from a lady called Erin O'Reilly from Colorado in America. Beautiful Colorado where the Rocky Mountains are I believe. So Erin, let's just talk a little about why you got Candida in the first place. 

The reason why people get anything is quite simply something caused it. I wrote about this extensively in Candida Crusher about the cause is very important. When you go to a doctor, the cause is not as important as the actual treatment itself. When you come to someone like me, the cause is very, very important to try and establish what went wrong. 

Now, I'm not sure of your age, but I know that some people get a little bit older, sometimes when they've had a condition a long time, they tend to forget the cause. Particularly, the primary cause they'll forget. 

There are two types of causes we're dealing with when it comes to Candida or, in fact, when it comes to any kind of condition that you develop. There's the primary cause; there's the maintaining cause. 
I've always known this for a long time I've started to work at-well, hang on a minute, what causes someone to get unwell? That's what the primary cause is. Often it can be one dramatic event or a series of several events that occurred. Eventually something wore that person down and they got sick, but, generally, there will be one big, big thing. It could be antibiotics. It could be a long term prescription of the long term contraceptive pill. It could've been a relationship that went really crappy, a divorce. It could be bankruptcy. It could be a prison term or a death of a loved one. It could be a big emotional cause. It could be some kind of big dramatic nutritional cause that you fell on hard times and you were eating white bread and jam and Coca-Cola all the time, could be something like that.

So that's what I call a primary cause and then, of course, we need to look at the maintaining cause. What keeps it going? Was it going back to the doctor 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 times? I had a patient yesterday that had been to over 40 doctors. Forty doctors! Can you believe it! She spent $100,000 plus to try to get well. It panned out that this poor woman had a tummy infection. She didn't have Candida at all. She had, in fact, helicobacter pylori. Literally this patient's going to feel pretty good pretty soon. Many times if a test result comes back inconclusive, then it's all deemed to be in the patient's head. They probably got depression or something like that. 

So, why did I get Candida? Well, Erin, think about the cause. What do you think caused the Candida? And, more importantly, how do you know you have Candida? Because you may not even have Candida. You may have a lack of beneficial bacteria. I've spoken about this many times in videos now that stool testing is a definitive way to determine if you've really got a yeast infection affecting your gut and more importantly affecting your whole body. The gut is the best place to start. 

When I looked at your email, I noticed that you had lots of digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, constipation. Testing is probably going to help you at least establish exactly what the hell's going on inside your body. So think about what you did. Did you take an antibiotic? Did you go through a stressful period? And more importantly, as I've said, why is the Candida going on and on in your body or perceived Candida or perceived digestive problem? What's kept it going? These are the things you're going to need to think about. I want you to think about those things. That's probably why you got Candida. There was a cause and that needs to be established, and then the maintaining cause needs to be established.
