A 48-year-old housewife often found herself yawning excessively in the middle of household chores. Despite numerous blood tests and health check-ups, no issues were detected. Later, she underwent a dry blood test, which revealed the presence of Candida albicans, a type of fungus normally found in the intestines, had penetrated the intestinal wall and entered her bloodstream. Following her doctor's advice, she changed her habit of consuming sweets and, without taking any medication, regained her vitality.
Liu Boren, director of the special nutrition medicine clinic at Cheng Ching Hospital, said the patient had long felt fatigued. Despite sleeping well the night before, she would yawn excessively after making breakfast and hanging laundry the next day, feeling listless in her tasks. Concerned for her health, her children arranged various health check-ups, but no cause was found.
When she visited Cheng Ching Hospital, the doctor noticed she was overweight and had a penchant for refined foods, including sweets and beverages, but did not have diabetes. Liu Boren took a drop of blood from her fingertip and examined it under an electron microscope, unexpectedly finding Candida albicans, which should not normally be present in the blood.
Liu Boren explained that Candida exists in the intestines, and its presence in the blood suggested the patient might have "leaky gut syndrome." Due to a diet too rich in refined foods, her intestinal physiology was compromised, allowing bacteria to penetrate the intestinal wall and disrupt blood properties, leading to immune dysregulation. He emphasized that Candida is also commonly found in female vaginal secretions and often appears in the mouths of those with low immunity.
The doctor stressed that such patients are difficult to diagnose, often crave sweets, and suffer from constipation. They should avoid cakes, sweets, and sugary drinks, and return to a balanced diet, especially increasing intake of high-fiber vegetables and fruits. With dietary control, within a month, the patient did not take any medication and felt as if she had regained 10 years of youth.
The doctor also emphasized that when the body is exposed to allergens, eosinophils in the blood increase, secreting substances like histamine that trigger allergic symptoms. By avoiding allergenic foods and reducing ice consumption, the patient's symptoms gradually improved.
