I know you seem to be hanging here so I'll risk another unpopular answer. The majority of people I've met through TMS/psychosomatic discussion believe the yeast theory is mostly bunk. I suspect they hesitate to comment in this particular case for a few reasons:
1. Legal liability in many countries, and particularly the US, for what would amount to a diagnosis.
2. The fact that most arguments against this theory come from the same folks who think homeopathy is bunk. As a result you don't appear to be a receptive audience to evidence based science, and so we don't know what would convince you.
3. Most people here are not in a medical profession. So while #1 often applies, #3, fear of overstepping ones area of expertise, is probably even more pressing. If one hasn't had the "condition" and hasn't read the research, it's not too appealing to comment.
If you use the search functionality you'll find many previous discussions on yeast that might help you make your own decisions. And you can find many articles, even online, discussing both sides of this debate. But some of this same research will also point out the futility of homeopathic medicines for this dubious condition, and that's where the more scientifically inclined of us fear to tread in a debate with someone who has declared allegiance to a non-scientific field.
I don't know what medicine(s), homeopathic or not, you took for your chlamydia, or what tests you had before or after. I don't know how long you waited for this treatment to "work". As for nasal infections, my own sister, despite advice to the contrary, refuses to use any medications at all for hers (she has had a few) and they have thus far cleared up nicely on their own -- no treatment. Your one case proves nothing about a system, only that you are willing to make scientific judgments based on a single case study.
I also don't know if what you were given was really something "homeopathic" or put under that label to make it more appealing...I don't know your local laws or conditions. But your belief in this system is not irrelevant to the information people will present you, nor is it to the type of evidence you are likely to believe.
Note that I'm not saying yeast is never a problem. People with certain medical conditions do suffer very specific yeast related illnesses. I have know idea if you have one of these conditions or illnesses. Good luck.

Thx for your replay alexis.
I read all about yeast on this forum and i am confused because no one here who thought that they might have yeast problem didnt test them selfes.I read also about yeast on web and i dont belive in candidiasis which cause all illnes know to man,and i know these sites are made to make money whit no evidence that this illnes even exists.There is no evidence buy sience that this condition exists,accept persones with hiv or cancer.They can have this illnes but its very rare,and it can be tested for.
But again,i am liitle cofused because doctor found candida in my stool.Now i my country it is problem ,but when i look at web i found that that test is unrealible and that most of people would be positive for candida in their stool.
So i just dont know what to think? |

| I don't know how much I can add to the discussion, but here is my two cents. It is normal to have candida in your digestive system. In recent years there have been theories that "candidiasis" may exist when you have an overgrowth, and candidiasis can actually cause a wide range of symptoms including GI tract distress, pain, etc. On my own personal journey, I went through a period of time (before I discovered TMS) where I had multiple symptoms and no concrete medical diagnosis. It was then suggested to me by an alternative healing professional that candidiasis was the problem. As fate would have it, that is when I met with a TMS doctor in Washington, D.C., and I immediately stopped worrying about candida and focused on TMS. It is now two years later and all of my symptoms are gone (although they do flare up from time to time). For me, I do not believe that candidiasis is a real condition. It is one of those conditions (like prostatitis) that people point to when they don't know what is wrong with you. No one really knows what causes candidiasis, or what can cure it, and that is always a tip-off that it isn't real. In my view, worrying about candida is more of a problem than the candida itself. Sorry if this is not what you want to hear, but it is my personal experience. |
