How do I know if I have Candida (Yeast Infection)?

Try this simple test to see if you have Candida. First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, get a clear glass, fill it with water and work up a bit of saliva, then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour. If you have a Candida yeast infection, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or "cloudy" saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the water. If there are no strings and the saliva is still floating after at least one hour, you are probably Candida yeast free. Most people fail the saliva test. I have heard that over 80% of the population has Candida yeast overgrowth.
