It is not a rare case when someone has arthritis while at the same time she has candidiasis.
This article helps you to know more about candidiasis and chronic arthritis based on real experience from one of my friend, let's just call her Sarah.
She sees an environmental medicine doctor who is treating both her candidiasis infection and also her chronic arthritis.
Her doctor believes that arthritis (and many other autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma and lupus) is caused by a bacteria called mycoplasma (sometimes it's caused by other bacteria, but mycoplasma is the most common).
He's not alone in believing this.
A large percentage of naturopathic doctors also believe that arthritis is caused by bacteria and treat their patients with antibiotics.
Of course, these doesn't help the candida problem, but they always advise one to eat a sugar free diet and to take a large amount of probiotics during this treatment.
Once the arthritis is under control or in remission, the candida can be fully treated.
Many scientists are now coming around to the idea of arthritis being caused by bacteria too! Some rheumatologists are now using minocycline (a tetracycline drug) to help their arthritic patients.
The major problem is getting the medical filed to recognize this, as most conventional doctors think the bacterial theory is ridiculous (after all, they do make big money off of arthritic patients) even though plenty of scientific studies have shown that antibiotics can put arthritis into remission or at least improve it.
This bacterial theory is shunned by most conventional doctors just like candidiasis is shunned by them.
People with lupus and scleroderma have also gone into remission with antibiotic therapy.
And there are plenty of scientific studies to back this up.
This is a very big thing, yet doctors ignore it.
And that's frightening considering many people die from lupus and almost all people with scleroderma die.
I know several people who used to be crippled with arthritis, lupus and scleroderma who started to take low dose antibiotics, they're abnormal blood tests returned to normal and they are now healthy.
