Me siento mal y no sé por qué. Prevención, diagnosis y tratamiento de la candidiasis. (I Don't Feel Well and I Don't Know Why

The author, a Swiss physician, feels that chronic Candida albicans (or yeast) infection is the cause of fatigue, weight gain, digestive disturbances, headaches, and more. He offers information about the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this condition, noting that it is more common in women, and suggests a strict diet that eliminates sugars, refined flour and breads made with yeast, dairy, citrus fruits and melons, and alcohol. He also recommends many dietary supplements and colon cleansing. Although chronic yeast infection is often targeted by proponents of alternative therapies, there are no evidence-based studies to support the diagnosis proposed here. Eliminating sugar and white flour from the diet will make most people feel better because they will lose weight and consume more healthy whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, but these people do not have chronic yeast infections, which afflict those with compromised immune systems.
