Hi John,

Quote:

there is a basic test for this: A clear glass of room temperature distilled water and upon arising before brushing teeth, spit onto the surface and place in a cool dark place. Check it in four hours and intervals of two after this, noticing whether there are ‘stringers’ or threads issuing down from the surface. If so, there is a good chance you have severe candidiasis.



Okay, I did the test. I have Candida according to the results. It only took 15 seconds to see the first stringy thread swirling halfway down. After 15 minutes, several other strings followed. The strings were apparent the entire time. My spit is also whiteish and thicker like foam (not clearish and bubbly) so I think I better stop eating dairy period, and cut out all possible sugars too, among other things.

Well, now I better go check the carbs-sugars contents of everything I currently eat. So far I see sugars everywhere, and I don't even eat much sweets. Maybe doing this will help reduce my pain levels.

PS. Sorry if this post grossed anybody out.

Thanks for the help,
James.
