Try this:
If you are noticing a symptom (IBS, muscle weakness, depression, sinusitis, arthritis, memory loss, digestive issues) -- any symptom --- type in that symptom + Candida, and see what results come up.

For the Girls
I am only posting this link because of a chat I saw on one of the awesome CMT support groups in regards to "female concerns" some Mother's were experiencing with their daughters.

My views on B12 consumption: In Dr Kelley's book it explains, like I wrote earlier, about the mucus (this is also called Candida.. Mucus, fungus, yeast, mold, plaque - all are different words for Candida) and how the mucus lines the vili in our small intestine. Have you ever heard people say they didn't know what the point in taking vitamins is and that it doesn't help anything? Well, to some extent they are right. The mucus/candida lines not only our small intestine but it's a fungus that can go wherever the blood goes. So if we have Candida - we are not absorbing B12. Doesn't matter how many bottles we buy! Candida is the #1 thing I am studying now. There is a book called "The Missing Diagnosis" and another called "The Yeast Connection: A Medical Breakthrough" which you can read. So while I feel that B12 is vital for people with CMT, I also must bring up this issue of absorption. The good news is, we can manage and eliminate the Candida. I have done this and I literally feel like a different person. I wouldn't have the mental clarity to be writing this now had I not gotten my Candida under control!
Also, I'd like to say that if you do decide to research this...you can get your information from a conservative doctor who may be loosing money by people deciding to use less anti-biotics... or losing patients because they will start to feel great... or because he/she isn't knowledgeable on the subject, so in response he/she will denounce it....... or you can listen to the person who has the same disease you have. I'm telling you this has helped me. Oh! So back to the B12 - if you don't want to get rid of Candida...well, B12 shots or B12 liquid would be better I think. A little further down the road I'll post some more info on Candida. A diet alone will not get rid of it. Some say it takes 6 months. I did it in about 1/ 1/2. For me to write a short blog post on this is difficult indeed, because it is so, so key. I can share more later. Symptoms of B12 Deficiency and BENEFITS of B12
(Passing on info from literature on natural healing. Some is copied directly and some is paraphrased)
When we aren't receiving the proper supply of B12 what can result is nerve degeneration and other important cell damage. Symptoms that might arise as a result of deficiency are a loss of feeling in fingers and toes or on the spine. Other symptoms may include loss of balance with clumsiness, decreased reflex responses, increased irritability, memory loss, lack of concentration and depression.
The best way to give your body B12 is by taking brewer's yeast, bee pollen, sea vegetables or algae. Equally important is the need to withhold from ingesting alcohol, tobacco, coffee, birth control pills and antibiotics as these substances create an increased need of B12.
Benefits of B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
This form of B12 is what most MD's use. May give you energy, weight loss & higher metabolism, deeper sleep, lowered cholestoral, better MOOD, balanced immune system, mental clarity, anemia and stamina. Helps with shingles, neuropathy and hangovers. Also helpful for fybromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes and those with migraines. Safe for children. I would consult your local Naturopath for dosage : )
B12 (Methylcobalamin)
This affects brain function. Typically not offered by MD's so you'd have to type Naturopath Doctor + your local area online or look for liquid form in health stores. Offers the same benefits as other B12 and in addition this is very good for anyone with mental struggles. (Depression, stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc.)
