Wouldn’t it be great if you could go to your doctor, get a simple vaccine and be Candida free?
Well, researchers are well on their way to making a Candida Vaccine a reality. By identifying certain proteins in the cell walls on Candida albicans they constructed a vaccine that could possibly activate the immune system to respond to these proteins.
Mice were used in the initial study back in 2008 and the vaccine showed promising results when mice were injected with a lethal dose of Candida albicans. Now the long term safety of the vaccine is being assessed.
This may seem wonderful, but only one thing raises alarm with me. Candida albicans has been living on and in humans for 1000′s of years and although scientists think the relationship is commensal most of the time (they benefit from us, but we are neither helped or harmed by them), we still might not completely understand the important ecological niche they have. For instance, what if their elimination leaves room for something really harmful to grow in Candida’s place.
We have seem this time and time again in nature, when humans try to meddle with the environment. I think the key is balance, doing what is necessary to keep Candida at normal levels in the body and strengthening the immune system naturally.

Im doing a projec on canddia albicans.Will u give me good information
You’re opinion is ridiculous, what about the immuno suppressed patients who aren’t able to strengthen their immune systems, this is essential for people with compromised immune systems….this condition brings misery to many women therefore I’m all for it, you could say the same for many other treatments for different conditions point is they’re still needed and a God send for most people who have a serious health problems.
