I have a lot of info about this disease. I am posting a small amount of
it that I extracted. If more is required, e-mail me @
[email protected]. Please, it takes me some time to upload it, so
be advised, only request it if you *really* want it.
here is some info from InfoTrac - Health Reference Center
Also, check you local of univeristy library. They most likely have the
InfoTrac cd-rom this info was taken from......

Candida albicans
-------------------------------------------------------
A common, budding, yeastlike, microscopic fungal
organism normally present in the mucous membranes of
the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina and on the skin
of healthy people. Under certain circumstances, it may
cause superficial infections of the mouth or vagina
and, less commonly, serious invasive systemic infection
and toxic reaction. See also candidiasis.

Another folk remedy receives the blessing of medical study.
Researchers have found that eating a cup of yogurt a day drastically
reduces a woman's chances of getting vaginal candida, a yeast infection.
For the year-long study, researchers at Long Island Jewish Medical
Center in New Hyde Park, New York, recruited 13 women who suffered from
chronic yeast infections. For the first 6 months, the women each day ate
8 ounces of yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus. For the second
6 months, the women did not eat yogurt. The researchers examined the
women each month and found that incidents of colonization and infection
were significantly lower during the period when the women ate yogurt.
The fungus Candida albicans can live in the body without doing harm.
It is an overproliferation of the fungus that leads to infection. The
researchers concluded that the L. acidophilus bacteria found in some
brands of yogurt retard overgrowth of the fungus. Streptococcus
thermophilus and L. bulgaricus are the two bacteria most commonly used
in commercial yogurt production. Neither one appears to exert a
protective effect against Candida albicans, however. Women who want to
try yogurt as a preventive measure should choose a brand that lists
acidophilus in its contents.

Candida (Monilia)
This disease is usually caused by Candida albicans, a fungus that we
all carry at one time or another. In some circumstances, though, the
organisms proliferate, producing symptomatic infection of the mouth,
intestines, vagina, or skin. When the mouth or vagina are infected, the
disease is commonly called thrush.
Vaginitis caused by Candida often afflicts women on birth control
pills or antibiotics. There is itching and a white, cheesy discharge.
Among narcotic addicts, Candida infections can lead to heart valve
inflammation.
Diagnosis of Candida infections is confirmed by cultures and blood
tests. Treatment can be with amphotericin B or orally with ketoconazole.
There is no evidence that Candida in the intestine of normal individuals
leads to disease. All people at one time or another have Candida in
their intestines. Claims for any benefit from special diets or chronic
antifungal agents is not based on any solid evidence.
