Is yeast infection responsible for depression and mood swings?

Tens of millions of people around the world suffer from chronic depression. Each year more cases appear and no specific cause is identified.

One thing that is known for certain about the brain and central nervous system is that how it works remains one of our greatest mysteries. However, one thing that is not a mystery is that fungi like Candida Albicans can spread anywhere in the body and affect any organ system.

It is a shame that Dr. WG Crook’s study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association called “Depression Associated with Candida Albicans” has been largely ignored by the medical community. This study cites evidence linking depression directly to yeast infection.

In relation to this, in the Journal of Nutritional Medicine 1990 an article written by A. Hunnisett talks about the automatic brewery syndrome. This is basically when yeast that overgrows in your digestive tract converts the sugar you eat into small doses of alcohol.

In Hunnisett’s study, 69% of his patients had traces of alcohol in their systems an hour after consuming 50 grams of sugar (about a can of soda). This has some interesting ramifications.

The amount of alcohol is usually too small to notice any performance impairment directly, however, always being a little tipsy can leave your body in a state of near-perpetual low-level hangover (dazed, disconnected brain fog) as well as put your random emotions, another common symptom of intoxication.

So there you have it, depression is caused by an overgrowth of yeast that causes your digestive system to become its own still.

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired and depressed, then you need to investigate whether a yeast infection is causing your depression. Do yourself a favor and make the change that may very well save your life and get you back on the path to happiness and wholeness again.
