How do I know if I have ‘Candida?
: How do I know if I have Candida?
ANSWER: To discover if your body is home to harmful Candida, take this simple test:First thing in the morning, before you put anything in your mouth, fill a clear glass with water. Spit saliva in the water and check the water every 15 minutes for one hour. If you have problem yeast, you will see strings traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or you will see cloudy saliva that will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water. Candida overgrowth can occur in both men and women. Candida is a yeast organism that normally resides in the intestinal tract along with a host to of other "good" bacteria. However, when an imbalance occurs due to a poor diet, or when good bacteria are killed-off as a side effect of antibiotic use, Candida thrives and become harmful. Candida is a living organism that excretes waste. This waste can be toxic and can result in poor digestion, fatigue, bloating, gas, poor elimination, mood swings, sugar and carbohydrate cravings, headaches, confusion, skin rashes, lowered immunity and more.Luckily, thanks to innovative yeast-fighting supplements, there is help for more than 90 percent of the U.S. population who are struggling with some degree of Candida overgrowth. Such formulas, teaming with live bacteria, start working immediately to rid the body of Candida overgrowth, while balancing the body's pH. A favorable pH is instrumental in the management of Candidiasis. Results can start as early as the first day, but could be noticed within seven to ten days.
