Fungus Among Us: Diagnosing And Treating Yeast Problems

Yeast overgrowth, including but not limited to candida, is quite common and can be triggered by a number of things. These include a high-sugar diet; impaired immunity; use of drugs, like antibiotics, birth control pills, estrogen, and steroids; and psychological stress. The symptoms of yeast overgrowth vary from person to person and some people may require aggressive treatment, while others many need only simple changes to make a significant difference in their health.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. George Papaicolaou to discuss the functional medicine approach to diagnosing and treating yeast imbalance. They also share specific cases in which they have treated patients for candida and other fungal problems.
George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. He is also an Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner. Upon graduation from his residency he joined the Indian Health Service. He worked on the Navajo reservation for 4 years at the Chinle Comprehensive Medical Facility where he served as the Outpatient Department Coordinator. In 2000, he founded Cornerstone Family Practice in Rowley, MA. He practiced with a philosophy centered on personal relationships and treating the whole person, not just not the disease. He called that philosophy “Whole Life Wellness”. Over time as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive this kind of personal care Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health - a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. Dr. Papanicolaou to join The UltraWellness Center in 2017.

My father had a lifetime of athletes foot ….then dental problems.He lived until he was 86. However his dental (periodontist)problems was passed down to me as “hereditary” I decided to fight my dental problems and related my fungal toenail to a gut problem. I dropped wheat, reduced my sugar (I’ve a really good diet) took probiotics including ones that fought the mutans bacteria used fluoride free toothpaste and tea tree mouth wash along with xylitol Vit D,C and zinc and had INCREDIBLE results!

I being ill a few years later and for quite awhile because of insurance cost have tried to put off these procedures again. I can’t believe though that I was not told about diet and preventing further infection. I assumed take the medicine and it was better so I thought I was good. Now I’m extremely ill again and hoping to get better. With insurance cost i really can’t afford this now. I literally have the majority of the symptoms that they are saying. I am still watching.

YES! I agree! My health had failed tremendously no thanks to conventional doctors. I need a functional medical doctor. Can't afford one! So frustrating. Many of my symptoms improved when I went AIP but I still have skin issues, issues with severe brain fog and exhaustion, depression, anxiety....etc the list goes on and they have actually been very debilitating. Haven't been able to hold a job because of them which scares me. Our healthcare system needs a serious revamp! I've had to try and play doctor and treat myself. Yes AIP has helped but I need guidance. Feel like I"m in the dark and videos like this are extremely educational and helpful but I'm so exhausted trying to figure it out on my own. I prefer just going to someone who knows what they are doing so that I can get help. Isn't that what doctors are supposed to be there for??? :(

@@gaeltoussaint5021 I know this. I've worked in healthcare for over 10 years but these doctors also carry a lot of weight, prestige, and have a platform that they can use to help others. I'm not saying that these specific doctors need to do it, but there are many other functional medical doctors out there who can band together and do something to change the situation. Perhaps they already are doing it. That would be such an enormous blessing for the rest of us who are feeling so horrible physically that their ability to function every day is affected. I'm exhausted. 79 pounds. Weak. Very difficult to work a job consistently when I truly don't feel well and fatigue easily. I eat only organic, AIP diet, and still....I know that food is only one part of the solution. I read and learn about functional medicine voraciously but knowing info is not enough. I need to have heavy metals checked and all other issues checked from celiac.

I'm just now seeing this video. About four years ago I went to see an infectious doctor. She was a woman and asked her about my Candida. She kind of chuckled at what I said and that was an old wives tale. Oh by the way my cancer patients get it. I just was rolling my eyes in the back of my head wondering where the hell this lady got a degree to practice medicine. I literally went home and found 15 or more papers in how prevalent candida was becoming and it was on the front of the CDC website. I can't tell you how much that frustrates the hell out of me.

I was blown away when he mentioned, that this is an autistic thing. I'm an asperger, think I've this yeast for my whole life already. Since I was a child I've had alot of stomach issues. Nowadays I can't even breath correctly after eating a salad. I'm trained, doing alot of sports, eat mostly just vegetables, no meat, use supplements like minerals and vitamins. I've this pytiriasis versicolor for 15 years now at my chest and shoulders and upper back. Last year I went 24 times to the hospital in an emergency case, cause of hypertensive crisis after eating something with alot of carbohydrates and sugar like cornflakes, I fainted even one time and had blood pressure 210/170 and bpm of 200. The skin under my eyes was deeply black, my skin color was pure white, I couldn't breathe anymore and couldn't talk, I wrote down all my symptoms when I was still able to and opened the door to my apartment so that they could enter when they arrived. Then I fainted and woke up when there were 10 people around me and two doctors. And they never knew what was happening to me. Tested my heart, my blood, my brain. Then they told me I've had a panic disorder. I always knew, that I definitely had no panic disorder, because I've been reading more scientific books about disorders than most psychiatrists due to that that is one of my special interests. I remember that my tongue was always looking like a white chinchilla pelt, all the time my hands were inflated, I couldn't type anymore, muscle and joint aches so hard, that I couldn't walk straight anymore, I must have had looked like a walking robot. Then they diagnosed me with ADD, bevause my concentration just went away - sometimes I wasn't able to speak, cause I forgot the words. I never could loose weight, that was weird since I eat so, so less for a 29yo male, instead I gained muscles quickly by going to the gym - it looks weird when you've a Sixpack on a stomach that looks like someone has thrown a gas granade inside, it looks 24/7 like a balloon and make my breathing difficult. Then the fatigue. Brutal fatigue. Sometimes at work I just fall asleep staring at my screen - then the brain fog. I'm reading an email and think "what the heck is standing there?" when it's just a simple message like "hey, please check XY". In meetings it's the worst, because I just can't hold my head up, it's like there is magnet inside myself of falling asleep, but not asleep, it's more like fainting, it's not like when you're tired, cause you've had not slept much, it's a brutal force making you feel like you will just fall down and faint, no energy anymore, no resources anymore to process any information. I once had to sit in a company meeting and they were talking about me, because I was new and they welcomed me and did all that talking and I just "felt asleep". They shook me, because they thought I was fainted. I then said I've diabetis and my blood sugar has to be low and excused myself to eat something and of course I didn't have diabetis, but what I should have said differently? "hey, sorry guys, I've something maybe, that makes me fall asleep, nothing about you introducing me officially to the company". My girlfriend told me I was depressive when I really wasn't, I just was exhausted, finished, drained and anyways I worked 70 hour weeks when I've had my better phases. But recently I started taking oregano oil, curcuma and bentonites, didn't cut out sugar completely yet, but hell no, I feel like I'm dying - this is my third day of taking it and my hand and arm inflamed, my pulse was the whole day on 120. And after the gym on the morning I went to work. And I completely broke down there at midday. I tried to hide it and nobody even realized it, but in my bureau I was not able to get up anymore, felt like being on a ship, muscle and joint aches so hard that I thought I'll die of Rheuma, when I moved I heard even my joints making these sounds like doors do the sometimes when hinches aren't piled. Tingling in my feet and hands, right arm red and swollen. I said I feel sick and made it out. At home I sunk into my bed, my brain felt like a huge mass of deconstructed thought processes, breathing was heavy. Felt asleep, woke up, all my skin was itchy and is still. I crave for sugar like a black whole, I ate fruits, because I just couldn't resist. Tomorrow will start nystatin additionally, hope this is the die off - I don't want to be in this state any longer - it's hell.

I’ve recently had a UTI and still feel I have minor symptoms that are taking forever to go away- such as a slightly acidic discomfort in my first pee in the morning. I took urine labs twice and there was no bacterial growth or definitive UTI. Also, I had a PSA blood test and I was told the target number is 4. Mine was 4.07. I’m 47 and my doctor told me we will test again in two months to check in it- but told me not to be too alarmed that it was barely slightly elevated… it could be due to the bacterial infection (UTI). The reason I believed it was a UTI was because I bought a home AZO test strips and tried a number of times and it always tested positive for leukocytes. The doctor told me this was a less definitive test. The fist time I went to the clinic, I was worried because I believe I took a couple weeks to admit to myself that I should have the symptoms tested- and so I asked for antibiotics. I took them one week. I never felt like it really whipped it out completely… so, I’ve just been trying to focus on a healthy diet… I tested negative for STDs. My test results were pretty good overall. Other than the little bit of smelly urine and that it sometimes feels a slight burn barely sometimes when I urinate- I feel fine. Are there any other tests you recommend? I yeast to get yeast infections when I was with my ex wife… I rarely if ever get them ever since… could the two be linked? I’m just researching for answers and I just want to stomp out the UTI without worrying about it coming back, etc… overall, I’m just after best over all health and well being. I enjoyed your discussion. Thank you

What if you eat sugar than take coconut oil after if candida eats the sugar and the coconut oil maybe it can still die. If you starve it can it hide and taking antifungals it may not eat it?

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

Fungal overgrowth is insidious. You see the appearance of symptoms and go to the conventional medications to treat the individual symptoms: sprays, medicated lotions, etc. I was taking high doses of caffeine through morning cups of tea just to roughly navigate the brain fog. I thought these were all separate issues and aggravated by the general mental and physical depression that began to build. Treating my conditions as separate issues seemed like a zero sum game: you obtain success with one symptom, but another symptom gets worse. This video confirms my experience with treatment. The leaves of medicinal plants that are mentioned in this video were crucial. There are good supplements that combine them in a capsule and I wish I knew to start with those. MCT oil, aromatic Greek mountain herbs, and pau d'arco seem to be working well in my body, too. Recovery is slow, made slower since I cannot remove carbs from my diet, but the breakthrough just with the brain fog has been a significant victory.

You could possibly get rid of candida and h-pylori by diet - Include a ton of polyphenols (berries, skins, peels, herbs etc. + add antimicrobials and follow the diet as the video states. But it's hard to get rid of parasites - try talking with a functional doctor/naturopath and get some help. It's easy to overdo it, wouldn't recommend going on that journey alone
