Systemic Yeast Infections
A number of popular books have been written about
internal or “systemic” yeast infections
that are said to cause a wide variety of generalized symptoms,
including lethargy, fatigue, food cravings, depression, infertility,
and more.
This is still an unproven theory.
Some authors, like Jeffrey S. McCombs, D.C., author of Lifeforce:
A Dynamic Plan for Health, Vitality, and Weight Loss, believe
this condition could affect as many as one third of the US population
because of the widespread use of antibiotics and birth control
pills.
Unfortunately, much of this Candida literature is
filled with the sort of conspiracy theories that make it difficult
to take the authors’ ideas seriously. That doesn’t
mean that the treatment they suggests won’t make people
feel better, but the improved health may be a result of eating
better and removing sugar from the diet, as most of these authors
recommend. This will improve a wide variety of symptoms that
are caused by bad diet and poor overall health practices.
Most of the literature and advice about the supposed wide-spread
Candida problem are based on papers written by C. Orian Truss,
M.D., in 1978. The idea was picked up by Dr. William G. Crook,
who wrote The Yeast Connection and started an organization called
The Candida and Dysbiosis Information Foundation.
In spite of the number of intervening years and the numbers
of patients who have been diagnosed with “systemic candidiasis”
by alternative health practitioners, there have been no scientific
studies done to prove the condition actually exists, except
in patients with a compromised
immune system. Nor have there been any studies that prove
the prescribed treatments are effective or safe.
Interestingly, Dr. Crook himself quotes a statement made by
the American Academy of Allergy and Immunology (AAAI). This
is what this organization has to say about “Candidiasis
Hypersensitivity Syndrome,” or systemic Candida:
The Concept is speculative and unproven.
a. The basic elements of the syndrome would apply to almost
all sick patients at some time. The complaints are essentially
universal; the broad treatment program would produce remission
in most illnesses regardless of cause.
//
b. There is no published proof the Candida albicans is responsible
for the syndrome.
//
c. There is no published proof that the treatment of Candida
albicans infection with specific antifungal agents benefits
the syndrme.
There are a few unscrupulous health practitioners who “specialize”
in the treatment of generalized Candida infections, and who
“diagnose” this syndrome in every patient who walks
in their door. Their sales pitch is that you “probably”
have a systemic Candida infection or hypersensitivity if you
don’t feel good, but your doctor can’t find anything
wrong with you.
They also state that the scientific community won’t do
any research into this syndrome because there’s no money
in it. By sowing the seeds of doubt and giving the impression
that the medical profession is conspiring against them, they
hope to prevent their clients from seeking a second opinion
from more qualified health care providers.
As E. A. Chartier said, "Nothing is more dangerous than
an idea if it's the only one you have.”
To learn more about these issues I urge you to see the information
provided online by Stephen Barrett, M.D., on his website, QuackWatch.org

the Web's most popular books on sugar

A number of people have asked me for advice about natural
yeast infection remedies to use when nothing seems to work.
I read through many books and articles, and I recommend
Yeast
Infection Away by Crystal McBride. Her information
is well researched, and the instructions are easy to follow. |
