Quick at home yeast test ?

[Claire]

Heather, Jennifer, Phyl, Chemar, Ronnas and my son's all have had issues with yeast, and all have seen improvement when the yeast was treated. Thus my reinforced presumption in assuming that yeast is a likely factor for aggravating tics. Certainly the DAN doctors test for it with Autism spectrum disorders, including ADHD, Autism, Aspergers,

 

For Heather, Jennifer, Chemar and me, our children had heavy metal issues, and I just read that mercury suppresses the immune system and makes yeast infections more likely.

 

Jennifer had this down months ago when she said: you gotta rebuild the immune system. From here come food sensitivities also.

 

Okay, my cousin's doctor (she used to have chronic fatigue) said there is an at-home yeast test. I have NO idea of the reliability, and this may be completely BOGUS, but it is easy to do. Don't ask me more on this one, and don't hold me accountable for it. I hesitated even posting it, but maybe over time we will see if it is worthwhile

 

SALIVA TEST

First thing in the morning, before drinking water, spit (a really big one) into a glass of water.

 

Saliva floats --no yeast

Saliva floats, but 'stringers' start dripping down in the water --yeast

Saliva sinks --worst yeast.

 

We just did it this am and my son and husband's both floated (I mentioned the other day that I thought my son's yeast was much better, based on no more cravings and his concentration at school is back to being good--in time for the standardized tests). Mine had stringers, and we know from testing that my yeast is high.

 

One data point doesn't prove anything, and I don't know the doctor. But maybe if your kid has stringers, you might consider further investigation.
