beneficial yeasts/unhealthy yeasts

[CSP]

Can someone explain the difference between these two?

 

Does beneficial yeast kill candida overgrowth? And how?

 

Thanks,

My understanding is that a beneficial yeast, for example Saccromyces B, is not harmful to the host; whereas an unhealthy yeast, like Candida, produces toxic metabolites that can wreak havok. I believe that when there is a large colony of beneficial yeast or a constant incoming supply, it competes for space and crowds out the other. If there is a serious Candida problem, I don't think that a beneficial yeast alone will control it. I think it is more of a maintenance and prophylactic strategy.
