Dear Karen,
According to these practicioners < < everyone > > has systemic candida. I beg you not to waste your time, money, etc. It's never a bad thing to cut down on excess sugars and refined carbs, but the rest can endanger your health. Allergies are histamine reactions. There is no evidence of histamine reactions in the vast majority of those diagnosed with systemic candida. Did this doctor offer any leads to controlled research? No, because the chief proponents have no interest in doing any. It's just a way for them to make money. They should be ashamed to call themselves docs or "nutritionists." I know so many people that have been told they are allergic to dairy products and aren't getting enough calcium as a result. Welcome to a real health problem - osteoporosis.
BTW, antifungals often prescribed by these 'docs' can put you into hepatic failure. Healthy? Not!
The acupressure test you underwent cannot reveal systemic organ stress. The machine has no such capbilities. It was designed to help relieve pain. Perhaps this doc is deceiving herself. This is a matter that should go the board of health and medical examiner's office. I've just seen too many people misled and a few actually physically damaged. For a second opinion please see an allergist/immunologist. Seriously.You can only guess what kind of mood I'm in! It's one of those 'issues' I react to. It makes me plain down mad.
Your Friend (I want you to follow your dubious instincts),Chris A.
P.S. The primary danger of this "diagnosis" and treatment is that people won't seek valid treatment for illness. I am watching this happen with a little boy right now. I've kept my mouth shut, but have been praying for him and his parents a lot. This boy is an innocent victim.
