More frankness

Candidasis starts in the mouth and can end systemically where 50% die. Astounding. And more honesty is required in treatment success rates. - 204.38.52.66 (talk) 15:39, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss please, the fact that bacteria, yeasts, etc preferentially store mercury and as such their collapse release mercury into the system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.170.20 (talk • contribs) 13:27, 3 July 2014‎

I think any deaths from candidiasis are specifically related to septicemia not mercury. Although the mortality rate of septicemias may be high, the vast, vast majority of cadidiases are not septicemias... so in those terms candiasis could be considered to have negligable mortality as a whole. 188.29.87.125 (talk) 22:08, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Candida overgrowth

Starting some content about CAM candida industry. Please feel free to expand.

What has been described as "a large pseudoscientific cult"^[1] has developed around the topic of Candida, with claims that up to 1 in 3 people are affected by conditions with terms such as systemic candidiasis, "candidiasis hypersensitivity", fungal type dysbiosis, Candida-related complex, the yeast syndrome, yeast allergy, yeast overgrowth, or simply "Candida" or "yeast problem".^[2] The symptoms of such purported conditions are typically non-specific and vague.

Candida is known to be present the human gastroinestinal tract. When the most sensitive detection techniques are utilized, about 90% of individuals C. albicans as part of their normal mouth microbiota.^[3] In the rest of the gastroinestinal tract, C. albicans is commonly found growing, again as a normal commensal organism.^[4] However,

"Systemic candidiasis" in the mainstream medical sense refers to a type of septicemia caused by candida. It is a real and life threatening condition requiring intensive treatment in hospital, but is very rare. "Systemic candidiasis" in the alternative medicine sense denotes candida overgrowth in the gut, which is not recognized as a genuine clinical entity by mainstream medicine.

Prevention

User:Doc James, We know diabetes puts people at risk candidiasis, so why do think managing it and prevent type 2 not a part of prevention? Alrich44 (talk) 16:31, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You added " Managing diabetes and preventing diabetes type 2. Dental care is important for oral flora and managing diabetes.^[1]"

The first bit is not a sentence and did not contain a reference. The second did not mention the disease in question. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:33, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Refs

User:Doc James, Why did you remove the NIH denture reference? Titled: Oral candidosis, denture cleanliness and hygiene habits in an elderly. It states that there was a significant correlation between poor denture hygiene and prevalence of Candida. [[1]]

I would like know others' opinions on the University of Maryland Medical Center being found insufficient for providing medical advice in Wikipedia. Please comment. [[2]]
