“Candida and Seizures”
The idea that there is a relationship between Candida and seizures was
practically unheard of. The unfortunate truth is that, thirty years
ago, a Candida infection meant something as simple as infant thrush
or a Candida vaginitis.
Today, the scope of Candida
infection has greatly broadened. Many conditions that were felt to
be unrelated to a Yeast Infection are now connected such as Candida
and seizures. Medicine has flooded our environment with antibiotics
given to people and to the animals grown for meat. This means that
Candida, which is resistant to antibiotics, has had a chance to take
hold.
Candida strains have become more virulent. Potent
antifungal medications given for mild yeast infections or to the
increasing numbers of immune deficient individuals has resulted in
more dangerous strains of Candida to increase in numbers and replace
Candida albicans, a common and less dangerous form of yeast. The
more dangerous strains of Candida have been found to cause
infections more often than ever before and increasing the likelihood
of Candida and seizures.
Candida and seizures can be related
in one of two ways. If someone at risk for a Candida blood invasion,
such as the immune-suppressed individual or in someone who is
hospitalized for surgery or illness, gets a blood-borne infection
with Candida, the Candida can infect the brain and, in severe cases,
can cause an abscess (a pocket of infection) in the brain.
Often
seizures are the first sign of such an infection. While brain
involvement with Candida is not common in the average person,
Candida infections in the blood (that carry the potential for brain
involvement) are some of the most common hospital-acquired
infections. This is seriously more common than it was in the
past.
The potential for seizures can also be a result of an
infection that isn’t involving the brain at all. If someone, often
those at risk for any kind of Candida infection, develops an
overgrowth of Candida in the colon, the colon becomes leaky and
toxins from Candida, the environment and colonic bacteria can enter
the blood stream and can cause many toxin-related symptoms.
If any
of these toxins is a neurotoxin (affecting the nervous system),
Candida and seizures can be one of the signs of toxic brain
involvement.
These are both serious conditions and, while
most Candida and seizures are unrelated, the possibility of Candida
overgrowth or Candida brain involvement must be considered. This is
especially true for adults who develop seizures without any previous
history of the problem.
