Chronic illness frequently is diagnosed in very black and white terms such as arthritis, asthma, ulcer and psoriasis. However, many chronic conditions are not as easily diagnosed and present incredible frustration for both doctor and patient. For example many patients have, at a relatively young age 30-40, difficulties with remembering and calculating simple sales register receipts. Obviously it is very unlikely that these individuals have major brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s. But what can explain these lessened abilities to think in apparently normal persons? Others continue to experience recurrent upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, sore throats, ear infections and colds with no apparent cause. Despite numerous rounds of antibiotics, even throat or ear surgery, they continue to have infection after infection. Other patients have terrible digestive tract disorders with continuous gas, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, bloating or heartburn, trying all sorts of medications and diets with little relief of their symptoms. What could be the cause of these symptoms? As unbelievable as it may be to many patients and doctors, this often ignored yeast, Candida albicans, can frequently be the culprit. Source: Whole Approach
Once you’ve determined that Candida is, in fact, the culprit in your situation then you begin the glorious adventure of ridding your body of the yeasts that hide in the colon and reek havoc on the body. Even with using the most advanced protocols, symptoms can linger. In Hour Two of tonight’s show, Dr. Carolyn Dean talks with a caller about the emotional aspects of yeast overgrowth and what to do to relieve the mind of contrast and conflict in order to help the healing process.
