Have You Been Tested For Candidiasis?

[Kritters]

Hey Megsterooni~

Is it you who just participated in the poll? Thanks!

I have a question...are you SURE you tested negative for candida? What tests did you take, do you remember? Had you been on any anti-fungals prior to the testing?

You can email me if ya want!

I'm wondering about the candida tests and how accurate they are. I mentioned in a prior post here that the standard medical testing might not be accurate in that many doctors might not even know what to really test for or which are the proper tests. I'm going to look into this. If anyone has information, I would appreciate input.

I just found a descriptive of the spit test:

Simple Home Candida Test

It's on a site that always shows up on a candida search which makes me leery immediately, but seems to have some good information. I'm also going to research this site further since it seems to look innocuous, but you all know the adage "wolf in sheep's clothing"....(like quackwatch) but they might be good (even if they promote Threelac, which I have heard is good).

Here's a Candida questionaire for children:
Children's Candida Questionnaire

I have absolutely no doubt I had candida as a child.

Kritts, you are sweet! Vitamin Store Friend - Her ex was a powerful lawyer in town here and he used the DOP misdiag against her/'unstable'. It was many years ago, now the kids are old enough to do what they want, they come over: she gives 'em foot cleanses, which I’m sure her ex loves hearing about!
You have to wonder how smart the folks are that running this cover-up: AgroScience - if Morgellon's is from GM agrobacterium used in pesticides like I FIRMLY believe: I completely lost my appetite during Morgellon's. I ate about 1/10 of what I do now. Did I spend $ on food? No. How many ppl do they force to Organics? They cut their own throats. MSM/Mainstream Medicine - regular MD's/dermatologists/infectious disease specs want to turn their backs when they could find out what I did and help us, stand up to the mistraining of the AMA (who allows docs CE to paid for by Merck)...You start curing Morgellon's due to what else it causes in even non-Morgies and there is an A$$load of money lost by MSM/Big Pharma, forever. Morgellon’s causes a LOT of other things – this is all about Treatment Money. The AMA screwed themselves on this one, cuz I will NEVER let any of those morons touch my bod again. I tell many ppl about the evils of MSM, you can see the light bulb go on for them – they are sick of having their blood sucked by Big Pharma and the AMA…I am now into naturopathy, I tell tons of others - I told my mother if I get decapitated in front of UPMC’s ER (our local Kaiser-like treatment factory), you get a needle and thread and you drive me to the Herbal Market!
Worse yet, with me and what I've seen - whoever's covering this up, they created their own worst enemy. I'm so angry with what I saw go on with Morgellon's, how they hurt people, families and lied: They're going to have to kill me to shut me up. I'm NOT going to let them get away with doing this to people, animals and the earth. This lil' volunteer has a new project...GM Agrobacterium in U.S. pesticides since 1979. I'm going to ENJOY making sure the folks involved regret Morgellon's.

P.S. Kritts - I saw you mentioned morgellonswatch – I found out who and where he is, I LOST IT WHEN I FOUND HIM, I SNAPPED…I called & threatened him and ratted him out to his pals & some he’s slandered. You know he’s paid, right? Should I set up a post with his real identity? I would love it if someone went after him but I’d kind of like him left alive cuz I need to know who signs his paychecks. I know he’s likely dangerous, but when I’m out his way, I want to be packin’ and I want to pay him a visit…I WANT THAT SOB DEAD, SENT BACK TO THE UK IN A BOX.

Don't hold back!!! Tell us what you REALLY think! I'm with ya, girlfriend! Yes...tell us all who it is!!! (actually, I mentioned quackwatch, but it's all the same...people being paid to discredit the truth).

Love your strength, conviction and 'tude!!! (thnx for taking poll)

Wait til you see the roots of this demonic worm and you have to accept how much money must be involved (I know we all suspect, but it makes this aspect very sadly real)...It's harsh stalking-results. I'm apologizing, in advance, for this ****b. I want to at least get to beat the piss out of him my own self, I owe him a few shiners and kicks to the nads and rectum and spleen and temples for my fellow victims, maybe stuff some pigs' feet in his pants pockets and take some Pit Bulls to 'meet' him - I want to physically hurt him for what he did to us, I'm not kidding - I get sooo happy if I think about it!!!!...But first, how do I find out who signs the paychecks? Know anyone in oh, say, Santa Monica? Sounds like a private investigator is needed cuz I want to know the identity of the BOSS(ES). Then, it'll be: "Smithers, Release the Hounds!" He knows I'm coming after him, cuz I SCREAMED it into his home answering machine - I want to show him I'm a woman of my word. What are your thoughts on how to find the bosses? Let's get organized, new friend...I'm done being victim - time to take out the trash!

Cheers to all who participated so far in the poll. Jeers to all the rest.....

Here's something I just found on Candida... Mold-Help.org: Candida AlbicansThe BEST toxic mold site on the >>>>>The yeast takes over and turns into a nasty mycelial form, which sends out mycelia or roots which invade the rest of the body. This is where the long-term problems start as unpleasant symptoms are produced in the part of the body that the yeast takes control of.

It is extremely important to know that the conversion of the yeast form to the fungal form of Candida is partially dependent upon biotin deficiency. Dr. Yamaguchi and colleagues have recently found that when biotin is added to the medium in high levels, it can prevent the conversion of the yeast form of Candida to its fungal form. They have also found that the fatty acid oleic acid seems to prevent this same conversion. <<<<<<

That's the first time I saw an association with biotin deficiency or oleic acid, both preventing the conversion from the yeast to the fungal form.

Hi Kat!

Thanks for reading my post and looking into it. Much appreciated!

Your thought: "....I'm wondering, if we have a Biotin deficiency which has led to Candida overgrowth, thus causing an fungal infection due to antibiotic overuse or do we have a metabolic disorder?...."

I have no clue at this point, but by golly I intend to find out a whole lot more about this. I'm thinking it's which came first...the chicken or the egg. That was my very first time seeing any reference to the biotin and oleic acid and candida. Could be they have it backwards.

I find it interesting that we have found out that some 'parasites' (fungi, or otherwise) use up our supplies of the B vitamins....

hmmmm...so naturally I'm thinking there is obviously much to research at this point. Boy, I reeely wish I had a biology degree so I would at least have a running start.

Your question is a great one, Kat. One thing I want to point out is that the antibiotic over-use association is trite at this point as far as I have learned. It's the easiest way they have had to explain something they know very little about.

I've got a lotta research to do. BTW....read through that link because each paragraph has valuable information. Thanks again!

Kritts -

It's not just fungi and parasites eating up our B vitamins. Whatever infections we have going on in the gut causes us malabsorption of these vitamins as well. I was taking plenty of B vitamins through my supplements, but my body was not absorbing it all.... I am severely deficient in B12. I'm trying to fix that through B12 injections now....... I've been going through a healing crisis since I've been doing this...
