How often do you eat these foods?
Let us first take the time to clarify that there is nothing fundamentally harmful to consuming the foods mentioned here in their own right. Everyone has the right to a little cute sin from time to time.
On the other hand, if you notice that you consume these foods several times a week, or even perhaps every day and several times a day, there is no doubt that this is alarming.
Abuse of these delicacies could well indicate the existence of a serious health problem, such as candida albicans yeast overgrowth.
With the exception of fruit, the other foods listed here are not strictly speaking food anyway. These are packaged, processed, refined and lifeless products.
They’re stuffed with sugar. If you are constantly craving sugar (and you definitely are if you indulge in those excess), chances are you are feeding some yeast that made you its host. .

TEST 2SALIVA AND BODY SECRETIONS
We all know very well that this is NOT a rigorous scientific test here, BUT it is nonetheless a good indication of the density of your bodily secretions, which may be carriers of microorganisms and indicate a symptom. candidiasis.
You got it all – – this is indeed a saliva test.
The best way to perform this test is to follow take in the morning upon rising:
- Before you rinse your mouth, spit or put anything in your mouth, have a glass of water (a clear glass).
- Let saliva form in your mouth without swallowing (without clearing your throat)
- spit into the glass of water. It will then be enough for you to observe what takes place.
- Wait 1-5 minutes
Result:
- If your saliva floats at the top of the glass on the surface of the water: you have no problem
- If your saliva is: suspended, in a filament, or in the shape of a cloud in the face of the glass then it is possible that you have candida
If the saliva floats, everything is normal. If, on the other hand, in the following 15 minutes you observe thin filaments forming on the surface of the water and spreading towards the bottom, this is a characteristic sign of candidiasis.
The filaments may take on the appearance of hair, or threads, or resemble a small jellyfish or even spider legs; they will give the impression of descending from the saliva which will float on the surface of the water.
It is also possible that the saliva turns an opaque color and that it sinks to the bottom of the glass within a few minutes, or floats a little under the surface. Sometimes a few particles can break off and float, or sink to the bottom. What you see appearing are colonies of yeast that coalesce and form filaments.
What we present to you here is an abridged version of the questionnaire that was created by Dr. William Crook, with the aim of diagnosing candidiasis.
The biggest difficulty with screening is that each of us is in one way or another affected by candida!
It is not the presence of candida albicans per se that is the problem, rather it is la overgrowth of candida that causes you all these unpleasant symptoms. Questionnaires like this give us a good indication of the presence of an overgrowth of candida that can lead to health problems.
