This questionnaire is taken from the book The Yeast Connection Handbook, written by William G. Crook, MD. If you score more than 40-60, we recommend you order the book today. Systemic yeast is a very serious yeast problem that has gone into the bloodstream affecting the entire system and causing a wide range of disease symptoms. Women are not the only ones who can get yeast infections and recurrent vaginal yeast infections are not the only symptoms of systemic yeast infections. If you suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Migraine Headaches, Depression, Manic Depression, Asthma, Psoriasis, Multiple Sclerosis and other Autoimmune Diseases you may actually be suffering from Candida Albicans or Systemic Yeast Infection which may be the underlying cause of your illness. We strongly recommend that anyone with a score over 40-60 contact Dr. Castaneda or another health care practitioner. You can mail in your test score along with the consultation form to:
