Islets of Hope
Alternative Therapy Debate
Alternative medicine proponents also frequently diagnose people with "systemic candidiasis" using methods not deemed valid by medicine. This belief originated from a book published by Dr. William Crook which hypothesized that a variety of common symptoms such as fatigue, PMS, sexual dysfunction, asthma, psoriasis, digestive and urinary problems, multiple sclerosis, Muscle pain, were caused by subclinical infections by Candida albicans. This is then treated with a variety of remedies ranging from dietary modification to colonic irrigation. These are felt by many in the medical establishment to be pseudoscience, as they have not met the rigors of scientific analysis. Nonetheless, thousands of patients do seem to show improvement in other disorders when yeast infections are eliminated.
Dr. Crook proposes the idea of treating yeast infections through dietary means. Since many patients do respond favorably to a change in diet, his remedy is worth considering because the diet is actually low in unhealthy carbohydrates; something most persons with diabetes would benefit from anyhow. And if nothing else, a diet that helps keep blood glucose in check is going to have a positive impact on yeast infection risk as well as reducing the risk of diabetes complications.
Dr. Crook's Candida Treatment Questionnaire was intended as a screening tool not as a diagnostic tool. It cannot diagnose Candida yeast infection or tell you that a Candida diet or Candida yeast infection treatment is definitely what you need.
