Dr. Suzanne Peoples has been working to educate her patients and the general public about the problems of the common but newly discovered Yeast Syndrome. Thanks to her findings and those of other leading physicians, it is now known that yeast infections, particularly the Candida fungus, can cause a multitude of illnesses that were previously thought to be unimportant or untreatable.

According to Dr. Peoples, Candida symptoms are often masked by the patient, particularly those with stronger systems, until the infection is well-developed and health threatening. "Symptoms caused by the Candida infection can range from agitation, anxiety, body aches, heartburn, cramping, dizziness, insomnia, obesity, cancer and many more," Dr. Peoples noted. "The condition is even worse for residents of South Florida, especially those who have moved here from drier, cooler climates.

In addition, a detoxification program using theraputic nutritional supplements is incorporated. By neutralizing the toxins given off by the fungus, the craving for carbohydrates is ended.

In time, regen-geration of the weakened systems can take place. "Often, many of the sufferers of Candida are the high energy, overweight executive types, what some would call the 'Type A' personalities," Dr. peoples said. "These are usually men who because of their stronger systems, can function at an acceptable level longer than women before the Yeast Syndrome becomes the source of debilitating symptoms. Fortunately, these are also the patients who respond the fastest to definitive treatment for their disorder.

I often have impressive results in a matter of days with many of these patients." Dr. Peoples also reports that her methods of treatment for the Candida fungus have also been highly successful in reducing obesity. "The Candida fungus can cause an inflammation of the lymphatic system, a major factor in the body's immune function," Dr. Peoples explained. "This inflammation leads to obstruction of the movement of tissue fluids from various parts of the body.

When this occurs, the result is swelling in the tissues. This is often the true cause of many patient's obesity. The rippling that this condition can cause gives the appearance of cellulite. I have seen amazing results of weight loss from my patients, with some reporting as much as one pound per day reduction." "I feel that it is vital for the public to learn about the chronic infections and allergies that can weaken their body's natural detoxification, immune and endocrine systems," Dr. Peoples summarized.

"I specialize in designing individualized detoxification programs that are safe for even the most depressed systems and are proven to achieve the desired results."

In addition to Candida's affinity to warm, damp climates, the fungus is sensitive to any form of starch or sugar.

Growing in the large intestine and reproductive tracts of both sexes, Candida causes the sufferer to crave sweets and starches. When these foods are eaten, the -Candida flourishes, causing a wide variety of symptoms. If the patient goes without food, some of the fungus dies off, producing a great deal of toxins which can also be discomforting and damaging to the patient. Low blood sugar also occurs, which triggers a desire for sweets and carbohydrates and creates a vicious cycle of Candida growth. For years, many of the symptoms caused by Candida simply were disregarded by patients and their doctors, misdiagnosed, or dismissed as being 'untreatable.
