1) Fill a glass tumbler with water and place it beside your bed.
2) The minute you wake, spit into the top of the water in the glass. Don't work up a gob; just spit what is actually in your mouth.
3) Wait for a few minutes. Hold the glass up towards the light, rock it very gently in your hand and look at the condition of the sputum.
Results:
a) If the spit still sits on the top of the water and slowly disappears,
you do not have Candida albicans.
b) If long thin strings looking like threads start descending towards the bottom of the glass, you have candidiasis. NOTE: Even very wispy tentacles indicate the presence of Candida. Your sputum might end up looking like a jellyfish which means you have it.
c) Sometimes the water turns cloudy or all the sputum sinks to the bottom of the glass. If this happens, it means you have Candida in high concentration.
