Candida or Yeast Connection
According to Dr. Teitelbaum, if you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, or even sinusitis or spastic colon, you probably have overgrowth of yeast or Candida. Though poorly understood by most physicians, treating this underlying infection can have profound health benefits! Keep reading.
Immune dysfunction (i.e., being more susceptible to infections) is a common part of both Fibromyalgia and CFS, and is becoming more common in the overall population as well.

Editorial Reviews

Every day, millions of people complain that they are tired. In fact, studies show that fatigue is one of the most common problems for which people seek help from a physician. But tests often fail to provide an explanation of chronic fatigue. Tired–So Tired! explains why so many people experience exhaustion and, more important, presents easy-to-follow steps for boosting energy and regaining health.After years of research, Dr. William G. Crook discovered that sugar and yeast, along with other foods and chemicals to which people can develop sensitivities, are major dietary culprits, and can cause everything from headaches to chronic fatigue syndrome. He also found a connection between fatigue and certain nutrient deficiencies. With this information in mind, the doctor developed a diet and vitamin plan that can eliminate fatigue and related symptoms. Tired–So Tired! presents the doctor’s treatment program as well as his research on this important subject.

Eliminating Candida or Yeast (Fungal) Overgrowth
As Dr. Teitelbaum stated in his website any one who has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, or even sinusitis or spastic colon (IBS), probably has overgrowth of yeast or Candida. Though poorly understood by most physicians, treating this underlying infection can have profound health benefits!
Immune dysfunction (i.e., being more susceptible to infections) is a common part of both Fibromyalgia and CFS, and is becoming more common in the overall population as well. In his website Dr. Teitelbaum has discussed how to diagnose and treat chronic viral and antibiotic sensitive infections. The most common and important infections to treat in CFS and Fibromyalgia are yeast, fungal and Candida infections (which Dr. T treat as a single infection for his article on this topic). Unfortunately, standard medicine does not recognize fungal infections unless they affect the nails, skin, hair or groin areas—or they are in the blood and can kill you. Because there is no test to clearly diagnose overgrowth of bowel or sinus Candida, many doctors say it doesn’t exist. Reminds me of the little boy who thinks he’s invisible because he’s covered his eyes…
That there is no blood test does not mean there is no way to tell if you need treatment. Dr. T recommends the Candida/yeast/fungal treatment for most people who have ANY of the below problems:
- CFS/ Fibromyalgia—As I have discussed in lectures to thousands of health practitioners, if someone has CFS/FMS, presume the Candida is present and treat for it.
- Chronic sinusitis—which is usually caused by yeast.
- Spastic colon/irritable bowel syndrome.
When you treat the yeast as we’ll discuss, not only does the CFS/FMS usually improve, but the sinusitis and spastic colon will often go away as well. As fringe benefits, most of you will find (if you take the Diflucan medication part of the treatment) that your dandruff and feeling like you want to stick your finger in your ear to scratch it will also go away!
