Sangye what is the crazy stuff?

- The comments about emotional lability and depression are just plain goofy. Saying it's due to the illness but isn't psychological makes no sense. The illness and drugs (esp pred) cause real physical imbalances in brain chemistry. That's psychological!

- If your tongue has a white coating you have candida. You can have a coated tongue for many reasons other than yeast.

- Everyone with chronic fatigue syndrome is infected with pesticide-producing bacteria.

- Chemtrails Conspiracy theory. Oy.

I was wondering about that because I had the coated tongue and the doctors said, no you don't have candida. I didn't read the whole thing, it is long and I am tired today.

[Sangye]

Medical tests (stool, urine) for candida are not very accurate either!

If you've taken antibiotics and haven't completely restored your gut flora (ie by taking probiotics), you have candida. Sometimes even that isn't enough and you have to address stomach acid and digestive enzyme balance.

My gut flora is on the fritz constantly, should I eat a yougurt or two a day? Rarely do I not have a white or yellowish coat on my tongue.
