Diagnosing Candida : Simple Home Candida Tests

This is an extremely simple and very reliable home Candida test that you can do first thing in the morning when you wake up.

As soon as you wake up in the morning before brushing your teeth or putting anything in your mouth, get a glass of water in a clear glass that you can see through. Don't use tap water.

Collect saliva in your mouth with your tongue and spit it into the glass.

Now keep an eye on your saliva in the glass for the next 1-30 minutes and observe what it does.

If you see any of the following, then it indicates the presence of yeast colonies:

* Your saliva stays at the top and you see thin strands that look like strings or spider legs extending downward.

* Your saliva floats to the bottom and looks cloudy.

* Your saliva is suspended in mid-air and looks like little specs are floating.

Healthy saliva will simply float on top!

Candida overgrowth begins in the colon and as the fungal yeast multiplies over time it begins to migrate through the digestive tract, moving up into the small intestine, then the stomach where it results in bloating, indigestion and discomfort. From here it moves up into the esophagus and into the mouth. Sometimes there will be a white coating on the tongue and inside the mouth.

Once it has moved up to the mouth, the yeast is heavier than water it will sink in the water because it is heavier than water. If there is no yeast, and no Candida, it will float on top.
