Candida and Yeast Overgrowth The Yeast Problem & Bacteria
Byproducts My discovery about the role of abnormal organic acids
from gastrointestinal microorganisms in human disease began as
many discoveries do, as an accident. In the 1960’s, a great deal
of progress had been made in discovering the biochemical
abnormalities that caused a number of diseases called "inborn
errors of metabolism" using a technology called gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry. These diseases included
phenylketonuria (PKU), tyrosinemia, maple syrup urine disease
and many others. It seemed possible that this new testing called
organic acid testing or metabolic profiling might be applied to
any disease. However, thirty years later, very little progress
had been made in solving the mystery of a number of diseases
like autism, fibromyalgia, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s
disease. There is a long list of diseases in which a substantial
number of patients excrete elevated microbial metabolites in the
urine which have been detected by urine o
