I was doing a search on Fungal Testing and came across a few good articles and good site link.
It is surprising, to say the least, [I was pretty scared the other day] how yeast can have fatal outcomes on the human body sometimes.

Along with the info they give, I like having them as a reference to look up what I don't know and never heard; the various types of fungal infections.
What truly amazes me is with all the available legitimate journal documentation regarding fungus and HYPHAE on patients, why are the derms showing such ignorance or pretending to?
I am making an appointment with Patient Business Services where ever I have been for help but was only dismissed as a "nut case", and taking this information with me as well as other legitimate medical documentation I have.
I had to deal with a situation once before in which I involved PBS. It seems when you get them involved it gets to be a totaly different approach they take towards you. Things happened fast as I was called by the Head of the particular dept. in issue at the clinic that same day, with a full apology and everything was taken care of to my satisfaction. After all, they do not want bad publicity.
I did not do it in an angry manner. I took a couple days cooling off period and wrote down all I wanted to say. I had all my "ducks in a row" when I made an appointment and went in and talked to PBS, telling them how I felt. In my present scenario, I will tell them about how I have been dubbed psychotic, how the Dr. spoke about "M", and that I did not even bring the "M" word up, he did.
I think I have other articles about human fungal infections, systemic and otherwise, and they do include hyphae growing from patients.
I have already told my husband if I die before him to have an autopsy done. If systemic yeasts or any type systemic fungal infection is found, then he should file suit against those I have been to for help and who have denied me the help I needed by casting me off as a psycho without any type of testing what-so-ever. No interest of any further investigation of my symptoms were persued and I was sent off in a ridiculed manner.
Which reminds me, I have ro print the article that one Dr. wrote about how to approach your DR. He speaks in it of the testing guidelines neccessary to claim or diagnos someone as Psychotic.
Not only is that wrong, but imagine all the repercutions that is going to have on others in the future regarding health insurance, jobs, any type insurance for that matter. It will be so wonderful for a prospective employer to do a background check on someone and see they were once diagnosed as for psychotic. This won't be a problem in my days left here, but younger people it could be disastrous. Even if one would end up in court someday for something minor, just this "psychotic" label will impact eveything and it will follow one ALL their life. How very, very sad, if not criminal as well.
Whatever happened to the "good old U.S.of A with fresh air, playing football, basketball, soccer, etc. after school with the neighborhood kids? Helping Mom with supper when she was at work and having an actual
sit-down together family supper every evening? Fighting with my sister over who was going to wash and who was going to wipe the dishes.? :-( , :-) So much is just passing people by today. That is except for corruption and what havoc it renders.
