Candida Questionnaire

Most people want an inexpensive way to determine if they have a Candida overgrowth. It is sometimes difficult to find a doctor knowledgeable about Candida and the blood tests are expensive. Use this Candida test to determine if Candida is a problem for you and if it is, follow the links below to find the treatment program that is best for you.

The following comprehensive Candida questionaire is adapted from the book of W. G. Crook, The Yeast Connection Handbook. It has proven to be one of the most useful Candida tests for determining the likelihood of a fungal overgrowth.

Candida Questionnaire
Once you have determined that you have a Candida overgrowth, you need to select a Candida treatment program. There is a natural Candida cure listed as well as a pharmaceutical approach using Candida albicans medicine. I always recommend the natural approach as the pharmaceutical antifungals are hard on your liver.

Candida Questionnaire
Both approaches use the Six Steps to Health. You must follow all six steps to be successful. The steps are meant to be performed at the same time. They are broken into steps to make them easier to understand.
Candida Questionnaire
For skin, nail and vaginal infections, you can read about Candida home treatments. The majority of the time, a skin infection is a symptom of a systemic Candida infection so these home treatments need to be used as a part of one of the Candida treatment programs.

Using this Candida Questionnaire gives a good indication whether or not a Candida albicans overgrowth is the cause of your health problems. If it is, using one of the Candida treatment programs will help you regain your health in the shortest time possible.
