Diagnosis based on tongue?? FAKE???Does a white coating of the tongue indicate problems or is it normal?
most holistic say it states candida and if you have red dots its emotional distress… is this true or false diagnostic criteria
most people have a whitish coating right? what colour is your tongue and your general health?
Mine has a whitish coating and red dots and I suffer ANXIETY, depression and have trouble concentrating and get panic attacks lol
Yes, diagnosis can be made on the tongue, and yes, it can indicate the condition of your general health. Afterall, tongue is part of the oral examination. If you’re interested, you can read on what we look for, here’s an article from the NIH.

A healthy tongue is pinkish in color. A white coat would indicate moniliasis (also known as candidiasis). Either as a result from chronic antibiotic usage, diabetic, immunosuppresive drugs, or AIDS. I don’t know about red dots indicate an emotional distress, that’s a holistic thing.
In the holistic world, they say candida may cause a whole lot of things including anxiety, depression, and difficulty to concentrate. I had a white tongue myself and was curious what they would say. I can confirm, candida did affect my level of concentration, mood, food cravings, and weight. So, give it an honest try for a month and see how it affects you.

My tounge is red, unless I eat something that stains it.
White tounge in babies can indicate thrush, or a yeast infection of the mouth.
Candida is a yeast infection
Try to eat more yogurt.

The white tongue is caused by yeast overgrowth. It isn’t normal. Normal tongue is pink, with no white coating.
Treating yeast should relieve the symptoms you mentioned. Start by adding a probiotic to your day in the form of yogurt (least effective), kefir or pill form. You can take the pill 1x a day, in the morning. If kefir, then 3 x daily is best.
Then add Grapefruit Seed Extract and Biotin. Biotin must be taken with magnesium. How much will depend on the level of yeast. Start small and up dosage until you see an effect. If no noticeable signs of improvement when up to 2 x the dose recommended on bottles 2 x a day (and do take two times daily at least) then probably not yeast. But, I doubt it.
I would also take the biotin and GSE separate of each other, so you will alternate them and be taking one or the other four times daily. Do not take GSE within 2 hours of probiotics (yogurt, kefir or pill) since it will kill the good bacteria in the probiotics too.
FOR Joe L below me. Candida can be controlled, but probably won’t be gone until you deal with Amalgam illness (mercury poisoning). For more info see Andrew H. Cutler’s site – http://www.noamalgam.com I’m currently reading through his book about amalgam illness. Will get his hair analysis book next. Very good, by the way.

Im wandering though if its true about the amalgam theory and candida going hand in hand. they say you cant beat candida with a mouth full of amalgams? anyone confirm this?

I have oral thrush right now due to overuse of antibiotics. You have a great amount of yeast in your body. Do something about it or it will get out of control. I have yeast in my sinuses, ears, oral thrush. I am on liquid prescription ninstayn and a strict diet. I have been ill for about 4months now. Candida can cause anxiety, depression, and all your other symptoms. You need to go on a yeast free diet, buy the book 90 day immune system makeover and I promise you that all your physical and emotional problems will go away. I ordered some of the digestive supplements the author recommends. I also started taking pro-biotics to help kill the fungus. No dairy (except eggs), no breads, wheat, pastas. I am on vegetables and protein. Also avoid caffeine, sugar–which feeds that fungus/yeast (same thing). No sweets. This is something that is hard to get rid of, it can take up to a year or two. You need to start pro-biotics right away in addition to digestive enzymes from enzyemedica based out of Florida. I just ordered there digest gold, Candida, and viral or virus pills. I don’t have the sheet off hand to remember the last bottles’ name. My tongue has been white for a year, never thought anything about it until I got lumps on it a week ago. It was time to see my doctor. My sinus infections (which have lasted since fall) were so bad, constantly taking antibiotics which actually feed the fungus. The yeast got to out of control, that when they finally concluded it was a fungal (yeast) sinus infection, it got worse and caused my thrush. Please get that book and start on her eating regime. I just started it today. She tells you exactly what and what not to eat. Hope this helps.

our intenstines starts from our tongue, its just opening and represents the digestive condition.if your tongue is affected by any means (coted or red) its a clear sign of digestive disorder and toxicity. You can now clearly corelate what I mean to say that your general health bad till u get pink tongue.

A normal tounge should not have a white coating on it, it should be pink and clean in colour. I think your holistic is correct.
