As far as I know, yeast is a form of dampness, and is part of TCM. I

know b/c one acupuncturist said I had candida, and I spent a good

deal of time making sure I didn't have candida.

 

it seems to be overdiagnosed, esp'ly online. Some of the dr's in the

back of Crook's book are covered by insurance, but watch out, most of

them are wacky and unprofessional. I don't want to give out names,

but one in Pennsylvania had me fill out a detailed questionnaire, and

his secretary typed the ENTIRE thing in (1 hr) while I waited with an

empty stomach. Then the dr. typed the rest of it in using 2 fingers

while I waited -- and his phone kept ringing (and me w/o coffee or

food and intensely irritated by the noise!). He ended up doing a

worthless blood test, and I went through a lot of trouble getting

another test through another lab.

 

2 other " yeast drs " were also lacking, and were referred through

either the Great Plains or Great Smokies labs, both of which test for

yeast. One kept me waiting for nearly 2 hrs, and was especially

goofy, kept falling asleep, and gave details about sex he had in

college. He reminded me perfectly of a popular smut movie from the

early '70's I hadn't seen in 20 years. His office still owes me $20

and I doubt I'll ever get it.

 

The last has a health program on the radio, was a bit of a firebrand,

and was obsessed with yeast. He said to take Diflucan indefinitely,

saying it would kill everything in time. I'd since gotten a yeast

test which showed no yeast, and he never returned my calls.

Diflucan, by the way, is harsh on the liver, and medical texts say to

take it for only 15 days, not for sev'l months.

 

My advice: Be Very Very Careful.
