ReSet The Yeast ConnectionINTRODUCTIONI’ve been studying health since my teens, and over the past five decades I’vedeveloped a very wide overview and perspective on our current health care crisis.Speaking with thousands of patients, clients, and callers on my radio show, I’veidentified two clear causes of most health problems. They are Mineral Deficiencyand Yeast Overgrowth Syndrome (YOS) – and most people suffer from both.Candidiasis, Candida Related Complex, Candida Hypersensitivity, and YeastAllergies are all names for what I call Yeast Overgrowth Syndrome, which I willshorten to YOS throughout the book. It’s a condition where yeast has overgrownand outgrown its natural environment in the large intestine and has invaded thesmall intestine. It is a health threat that remains untreated, mistreated, and if it’sever recognized, it is undertreated. I call the protocol that goes with this bookYeast ReSet because a certain amount of yeast is natural to our body and wehave to hit the ReSet button to achieve the right balance.A syndrome is a group of symptoms that consistently occur together, or acondition characterized by a set of associated symptoms. Doctors don't likesyndromes – there are too many variables. They want one major symptom sothey 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 mostdoctors 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 thisoversight, since the definition of a fad is an intense and widely shared enthusiasmfor something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object'squalities. I think YOS has outlived its “fad” status and should be treated with therespect 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 YOSand most didn’t know it despite thoroughly researching their condition. It seemsCarolyn Dean MD NDwww.RnAReSet.com10
ReSet The Yeast Connectionthat even alternative practitioners are ignoring YOS in favor of genetic testing,hormone evaluation, and microbiome investigation. I say that the environmentcreated by yeast growing out of bounds and producing 178 different toxins is thereason our genes are being triggered to misbehave and our hormones are out ofwhack and our bacterial microbiome is out of balance.Carolyn Dean MD NDwww.RnAReSet.com11
ReSet The Yeast ConnectionYEAST MANAGEMENTYeast treatment can be long and drawn out but with the introduction ofYeast Management using Flora ReVive and Pico Silver, the timing can bereduced and allow you to “live with yeast” instead of always being at war.Here’s the plan:1. Start your Yeast Management with a yeast-free diet.2. Add Flora ReVive, with the antifungal, S. boulardii, which may cause dieoff. So, as with all new products, start slowly and take one a day. If youget die off, open the capsule and take ½ per day and increase when youno longer have die off.3. Add bentonite clay to neutralize toxins. 1 tsp – 1 TBSP with 6 oz of wateronce or twice a day, 1 hour away from food or supplements. Read moreabout bentonite clay on Page 175.4. Also take 1 tsp of Pico Silver twice a day. Pico Silver is an antifungal andit also mops up debris from yeast die off so it can help neutralize thesereactions.5. If after a month you still have a high score on your Yeast Questionnaire,then you go to Yeast ReSet, which uses a bentonite, psyllium seed drinkand rotates antifungal herbs along with Pico Silver and Flora ReVive.Note: S. boulardii beyond managing yeast helps treat IBS and othergastrointestinal symptoms including chronic diarrhea. Many of ourcustomers do complain about various levels of diarrhea that may worsenas the body goes into detox mode. So, Flora ReVive with S. boulardii isthe perfect solution.Carolyn Dean MD NDwww.RnAReSet.com12
ReSet The Yeast ConnectionMY YEAST STORYI grew up with a huge box freezer in the basement stocked with ice cream. Iremember that most nights I did my homework accompanied by a staggeringamount of ice cream and a can of syrupy peaches or pears. There were also thechronic sore throats and ear infections – tonsils out when I was around 6-years oldand ice cream after the operation to keep the swelling down!I first learned about YOS in my naturopathic training, which began in1979. 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 YeastConnection. 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 officebuilding in Toronto. At the Foundation, I gave monthly lectures to the public onCandidiasis and related topics. Because of my work with Candida, I was invitedon a TV Ontario show called Speaking Out with host Harry Brown. On November20, 1986, I was a guest with Dr. William Crook, one of my medical heroes. Duringthat 90-minute program, an astounding 86,000 calls were tabulated. This morethan anything convinced me of the epidemic of YOS and the desperation ofpeople 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 andthe website yeastconnection.com, and to finish the work on his last book, TheYeast Connection and Women’s Health. The yeastconnection.com website is stillonline as a source of information, but it is not an active site.During my association with Elizabeth Crook, we encouraged RandomHouse to allow us to publish an updated edition of the 1986 Yeast ConnectionCarolyn Dean MD NDwww.RnAReSet.com13
ReSet The Yeast Connectionbecause the book is very much out of date, with Dr. Crook even recommendingthe artificial sweetener aspartame!I thank Dr. Crook for his pioneering work on yeast and offer the most upto-date approach to yeast with ReSet The Yeast Connection, which contains amuch more complete and effective treatment approach, of which I’m sure Dr.Crook would approve!Human MicrobiomeThe human microbiome is the collective genomes (genetic material) of themicrobes (composed of bacteria, bacteriophage, fungi, protozoa, and viruses) thatlive inside and on the human body. The human microbiome outnumbers the cellsof the human body – there are about 10 times as many microbial cells as humancells.This book will bring you back to the basics and help you change yourlifestyle to ReSet Your Yeast. I will also unveil a “magic elixir” that’s beenoverlooked in the treatment of YOS. I won’t make you wait until the end of thebook to tell you, either. It’s my ReMag, liquid magnesium. Although I didn’t setout to create this 100% absorbed, non-laxative magnesium to treat yeast, I wasthrilled to find that it is an integral part of an effective yeast protocol. You canread my free eBook about ReMag. It’s called ReMag: Invisible Minerals Part I.With input from my patients, clients, and customers, I realized that peoplewith magnesium deficiency find it’s next to impossible to lower their yeast levels.Here’s what happens: toxic acetaldehyde produced by yeast addles your brainand magnesium is required in order to detoxify it. Unfortunately, brain fog canovercome your resolve to avoid carbs and you end up feeding your yeast. Also,without sufficient magnesium, acetaldehyde and a host of other yeast toxins keepyour immune system all fired up causing collateral damage to many tissues inCarolyn Dean MD NDwww.RnAReSet.com14
ReSet The Yeast Connectionthe body. Eventually your weakened immune system is no longer able to controlyour 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 ReMyte & ReCalcia: Invisible Minerals Part IIyou 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 mineralssupport effective production of thyroid hormones. The minerals in ReMyte alsosupport optimum function of the immune system, adrenal glands, prostate, andbrain.ReSet The Yeast Connection will introduce you to an anti-yeast lifestylebeginning with a yeast-free diet.
