Speaking with thousands of patients, clients, and callers on my radio show, I’ve identified two clear causes of most health problems. They are Mineral Deficiency and Yeast Overgrowth Syndrome (YOS) – and most people suffer from both. Candidiasis, Candida Related Complex, Candida Hypersensitivity, and Yeast Allergies are all names for what I call Yeast Overgrowth Syndrome, which I will shorten to YOS throughout the book. It’s a condition where yeast has overgrown and outgrown its natural environment in the large intestine and has invaded the small intestine. It is a health threat that remains untreated, mistreated, and if it’s ever recognized, it is undertreated. I call the protocol that goes with this book Yeast ReSet because a certain amount of yeast is natural to our body and we have to hit the ReSet button to achieve the right balance. A syndrome is a group of symptoms that consistently occur together, or a condition characterized by a set of associated symptoms. Doctors don't like syndromes – there are too many variables. They want one major symptom so they can make a disease diagnosis and treat with a disease-specific drug. YOS, with its dozens of symptoms, gets a deer-in-the-headlights look from most doctors who ignore it or just call it a fad. Medicine has been calling YOS a fad for over 40 years and I’m tired of this oversight, since the definition of a fad is an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object's qualities. I think YOS has outlived its “fad” status and should be treated with the respect it deserves. Do we really need another yeast book? Absolutely, because every patient, client and customer I’ve had over the past few years has had some level of YOS and most didn’t know it despite thoroughly researching their condition. It seems that even alternative practitioners are ignoring YOS in favor of genetic testing, hormone evaluation, and microbiome investigation. I say that the environment created by yeast growing out of bounds and producing 178 different toxins is the reason our genes are being triggered to misbehave and our hormones are out of whack and our bacterial microbiome is out of balance. Carolyn Dean MD ND 3 ReSet The Yeast Connection www.RnAReSet.com MY YEAST STORY I grew up with a huge box freezer in the basement stocked with ice cream. I remember that most nights I did my homework accompanied by a staggering amount of ice cream and a can of syrupy peaches or pears. There were also the chronic sore throats and ear infections – tonsils out when I was around 6-years old and ice cream after the operation to keep the swelling down! I first learned about YOS in my naturopathic training, which began in 1979. I could immediately spot my own relationship to yeast. A few years later, I read Dr. Truss’ book, The Missing Diagnosis, and Dr. Crook’s book, The Yeast Connection. Early in my practice, a patient of mine, bedridden by YOS, demonstrated the insidious nature of this condition when left untreated. I became very involved with diagnosing and treating YOS in my practice. The Candida Foundation of Canada operated on the third floor of my office building in Toronto. At the Foundation, I gave monthly lectures to the public on Candidiasis and related topics. Because of my work with Candida, I was invited on a TV Ontario show called Speaking Out with host Harry Brown. On November 20, 1986, I was a guest with Dr. William Crook, one of my medical heroes. During that 90-minute program, an astounding 86,000 calls were tabulated. This more than anything convinced me of the epidemic of YOS and the desperation of people to find a solution. After Dr. Crook passed away in 2002, his daughter, Elizabeth Crook, invited me to become the medical advisor to the Woman’s Health Connection and the website yeastconnection.com, and to finish the work on his last book, The Yeast Connection and Women’s Health. The yeastconnection.com website is still online as a source of information, but it is not an active site. During my association with Elizabeth Crook, we encouraged Random House to allow us to publish an updated edition of the 1986 Yeast Connection because the book is very much out of date, with Dr. Crook even recommending the artificial sweetener aspartame! I thank Dr. Crook for his pioneering work on yeast and offer the most up-to-date approach to yeast with ReSet The Yeast Connection, which contains a much more complete and effective treatment approach, of which I’m sure Dr. Crook would approve! Carolyn Dean MD ND 4 ReSet The Yeast Connection www.RnAReSet.com Human Microbiome The human microbiome is the collective genomes (genetic material) of the microbes (composed of bacteria, bacteriophage, fungi, protozoa, and viruses) that live inside and on the human body. The human microbiome outnumbers the cells of the human body – there are about 10 times as many microbial cells as human cells. This book will bring you back to the basics and help you change your lifestyle to ReSet Your Yeast. I will also unveil a “magic elixir” that’s been overlooked in the treatment of YOS. I won’t make you wait until the end of the book to tell you, either. It’s my ReMag, liquid magnesium. Although I didn’t set out to create this 100% absorbed, non-laxative magnesium to treat yeast, I was thrilled to find that it is an integral part of an effective yeast protocol. You can read my free eBook about ReMag. It’s called Invisible Minerals Part I - ReMag. With input from my patients, clients, and customers, I realized that people with magnesium deficiency find it’s next to impossible to lower their yeast levels. Here’s what happens: toxic acetaldehyde produced by yeast addles your brain and magnesium is required in order to detoxify it. Unfortunately, brain fog can overcome your resolve to avoid carbs and you end up feeding your yeast. Also, without sufficient magnesium, acetaldehyde and a host of other yeast toxins keep your immune system all fired up causing collateral damage to many tissues in the body. Eventually your weakened immune system is no longer able to control your YOS and you develop more symptoms that doctors continue to misdiagnose. My multiple mineral, ReMyte, also has a place in the Yeast ReSet Protocol. In later chapters of this book and Invisible Minerals Part II – ReMyte & ReCalcia you will find out more about yeast toxins cross reacting with endocrine glands, especially the thyroid. ReMyte is a multiple mineral, and 9 of its 12 minerals support effective production of thyroid hormones. The minerals in ReMyte also support optimum function of the immune system, adrenal glands, prostate, and brain. Carolyn Dean MD ND 5 ReSet The Yeast Connection www.RnAReSet.com ReSet The Yeast Connection will introduce you to an anti-yeast lifestyle beginning with a yeast-free diet. Another of my products is ReStructure, a meal replacement/protein powder that will help keep your diet yeast free. Changing your lifestyle does take more work than just popping a pill, but it also has many other benefits. It’s another reason why doctors choose to ignore YOS; it takes much longer than their usual 7-minute appointments to consult with you about yeast. I’ll go over the details of the Yeast ReSet Protocol in Chapter 6, but let me give you a brief outline immediately so you can see what it entails. You may already know you have YOS and just want to dive into the treatment that I’ll outline here. Some of you may want to read the rest of the story to understand how we managed to let yeast get the upper hand in our intestines, with its toxins spreading from head to foot! YEAST RESET PROTOCOL 1.
