The infamous Candida Spit Test: if a scam, then WHAT IS THAT IN THE GLASS????

1. White tongues doesn't equal fungus.

"White tongue is the result of an overgrowth and swelling of the fingerlike projections (papillae) on the surface of your tongue. The appearance of a white coating is caused by debris, bacteria and dead cells getting lodged between the enlarged and sometimes inflamed papillae."
https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/...s/sym-20050676

2. How do you know what the people are eating who you see with white tongues??

Not that there is a correlation between carbs, sugars and white tongues anyway

3. Immunosuppressed folks can develop Oral Thrush with white patches tongue and throat, this is a fungal infection, oral candidiasis. It is also a LOCAL infection of the mouth and does not indicate a systemic infection

4. Nothing thought provoking in the link provided. The idea that cancer is a fungus is nonsense, the idea that baking soda can cure cancer is ridiculous and dangerous to promote

The "link" to Mayo is also misrepresented, the Mayo link does not state what the author of this blog post states...

It is not possible to be merely a local infection since the gut starts at the entry point (your mouth) and whenever you swallow anything this fungus will get moved down into the gut.

If the environment in the mouth is disturbed enough to allow oral candidasis to take hold, it is highly likely that there are other areas of the body which also have a poor environment, probably due to diet and hygene. I believe Candida is very hard to get rid of and takes advantage of anywhere it is not kept in check.

Just because orthodox medicine does not recognise it as a problem does not mean it is not the cause of many debilitating conditions for people. Orthodox medicine often cannot find the causes of these conditions so it could easily be these kind of gut bacterial imbalances or fungal overgrowths which are unrecognized by your doctor, which cause them.

Incorrect....where did you get the idea it is not possible for there to be a "local infection"???

Of course it is possible to have a "local" infection of any type bacterial or fungal anywhere in the body particularly the mouth.

MOST infections in the body are LOCAL if they become SYSTEMIC that is SEPSIS which is often fatal if untreated.

Because the oral cavity is infected with Candida that does not mean the rest of the GI tract is involved...far different environment in the esophagus, stomach and intestines.

Thrush is visible on exam, if your premise were true it would have been proven via endoscopy....not the case

The sinuses are the gateway to the respiratory tract, by your logic it is not possible to have a sinus infection without also having pneumonia.....it would not be possible to have a UTI without also having pyelonephritis...

'Candida overgrowth' is a made up condition plain and simple.

I think the question should be: Has anyone taken the test and have it NOT show candida?
