Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 , I know nothing about the scientific reasons . . . The spit test was published by the people who sell ThreeLac to demonstrate the need and effectives of their antifungal product. They claim (wrongly) that one can get rid of yeast problems by taking ThreeLac for thirty days. At the time I tried it, they didn't mention the sugar or diet issue. What I've found is that the spit test accurately reflects how closely I follow a antifungal diet or take antifungal supplements. It also tracks very well with how I'm feeling. Since I've " gotten in touch " with how I feel when I'm having a fungal problem, I've been able to accurately predict if I'm going to test positive. Numerous women have told me they've had other healthy family members take the test . . . The other family members usually test negative while they test positive. Why sugar? . . . Sugar feeds fungal problems. If you want to see what sugar does to yeast, you can do your own experiment. Using equal amounts of warm water in two cups, put one teaspoon of yeast in each. In one cup, add a couple teaspoons of sugar. Then watch as the sugar feeds on the yeast and the yeast grows more quickly in the cup with the sugar than in the plain water cup. Since those of us who have been sick with implants not only have a suppress immune system, but have usually been treated with antibiotics and steroids, we are highly likely to have a problem. Only one woman, , who posted here recently, has said that she never had a problem. Most of us do to the extent that Dr. Kolb routinely treats all her implant patients for systemic fungal problems both pre and post surgery. Patty posted and excellent post about the negative sides of sugar. IMHO, one of the biggest problems many young people are having with learning is related to their sugar rich, nutrient poor, diet. I hope this answers some of your questions . . . Hugs, Rogene > Some one please explain the whole spit test and how > it has to do with > sugar intake???
