Re: Yeast and bacteria indication in organic acid test

[Guest guest]

Yes, the result is very likely wrong. One physician told me that there is a

50% error rate in the organic acid testing. If you see symptoms of yeast,

then it is likely that your observations are more correct than the test.

Have you tried Candex? One thing you might consider is to try giving

Candex, and then if you see " sandy " stools, that would be a symptom of yeast

die-off, which would be an indication that there is yeast.

Hope this helps,

a few things to know about clinically identifying yeast:

children who have yeast problems, especially Candida species, usually have

very red cheeks (face), they also might have a red rim around the anus (

bottom), which may or not have the signature " satellite lesions " associated

with candida. that is how the doctor can tell when a child has diaper rash

if it is chemical by irritation or true candida. it looks like red spots

with elevated centers ( if you look closely) that are surrounded by some

fading redness that is not generally continuous unless it is already very

bad, they look like stars in the sky. it also gets very bad around skin fold

areas (humidity). their buttock gets very skinny and their tummies get very

big, like in starvation malnutrition. some but not all might have the white

patches in the mouth (in more active local mouth disease) or thick coating

in tongue (systemic). there are lots of signs to note even before any labs

are done.

i hope this helps
