Candida saliva test ... MORE ... Alcohol, Antibiotics

[Guest guest]

Yes, in addition to chlorine, alcohol and antibiotics kill living cells and

will destroy simple organisms, potentially resulting in a negative test.

Alkaloids (caffeine, nicotine, etc.) may have a similar effect, not sure.

 

Ergo ... the test itself is useless. We ALWAYS have countless organisms

living within us, candida among them.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Re: [Raw Food] Candida saliva test

 

 

Hi Anna

 

The first day I did my test, husband took it as well.

 

I was positive.

 

He was negative (meat-eater, smoker, lots of alcohol (spirits), lots

of coffee, Red Bull, eats lots of chocolate, crisps(chips), has taken

antibiotics, etc etc).

 

Annoying.

Hi Elchanan

 

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but I'm thinking then that it

might be the case that my husband's diet is 'killing' everything!

(this would be no surprise....).

 

Also, I've been feeling doubtful myself about this spit test, and am

interested that you do not rate the test. Yes, it detects candida.

But, as you say, we've got all some inside us, so (provided we use

good water) the test will detect whatever candida there is there.

As to whether it can tell the difference between an 'OK amount'

and 'too much'...? (I've been trawling the internet on this and can't

find any scientific explanation for the test - just a lot of

comments, about 75% saying it's accurate, but with no rationale for

so saying.

 

If anyone remembers, I'd got all in a lather about the positive test

and immediately instituted an anti-candida diet. I hadn't actually

recognised more than one or two things on the 'symptoms' list (I feel

pretty healthy), but I had been experiencing a lot of gas and

bloating associated with fruit, and had concluded that this was

because the fruit was fermenting the yeast.

 

Anyhow, for a couple of days I had no fruit. I then decided that

actually there was no way I was going to cut fruit out of my diet -

not even for a few weeks.

 

What I have done since then is eat fruit for breakfast, and at no

other time in the day. My tummy has been FINE. 'Lost' is no longer

interrupted by the bassoon in my nether regions.

 

It's all been interesting, and the net effect is, whether I have a

terrible candida overgrowth, or all this is just....nothing at all,

I've weaned myself off cooked bread and Marmite (which will stun

anyone that's known me the last 20 years!).

 

Many thanks to everyone who has shared information on this.

 

Love

 

Debbie Took, Reading, Berkshire (now 90% raw fooder - thanks to...the

candida spit test!)
