This infection occurs when the yeast Candida albicans reproduce in large numbers. It is common among denture wearers and most often occurs in people who are very young, elderly, debilitated by disease, or who have a problem with their immune system. People who have dry mouth syndrome are very susceptible to candidiasis. Candida may flourish after antibiotic treatment, which can decrease normal bacteria in the mouth.
Treating
candidiasis
Control focuses on preventing
or controlling the conditions that caused the outbreak.
Good
oral hygiene is essential. Clean dentures to remove Candida and
remove them at bedtime. Regular use of a candida control supplement such
as ThreeLac Candida Defense or
new improved FiveLac may also help in
maintaining healthy yeast levels. Take these tests below to see if you
suffer from candida. Try one of these Yeast
Recovery Packs to help combat Candidiasis.
| The Fast-and-Free Saliva
Test, though not "scientific" is quite accurate. Before you go to
bed at night set out a glass of water next to your bed. When you
wake up in the morning, before you put anything in your mouth, and before
you brush your teeth, spit into that glass of water.
Let the water sit for 30-45 minutes and if you see any of the traits shown in the diagram. If you see any of the following characteristics, strings down from the top of the water, suspended cloudy specs or Cloudy saliva blobs near the bottom of the glass, then you have candida. ThreeLac may benefit you if you have any of the listed symptoms! To increase the effects of ThreeLac Candida Defense you may also want to take Oxygen Elements Max, and Active Digestive Enzymes. |

Research indicates that most people harbor four or five fungi other than Candida in their systems, often more. Such infestations produces fatigue or weakness, resulting from "friendly flora" destruction. Fungi overgrowth consumes your much-needed nutrition, leaving their toxic waste for you to dispose of. The test below is designed for adults only. Take the test to determine whether or not you have fungus/Candida in your body.
