Hi punkyb think Schenks has explained it in nutshell.

Presumably you mean where you spit into a glass of water and see if it leaves trails down into the water? Dr P advises to try that one.

I think it is pretty reliable, most practitioners use the spit test. Lots of people have candida to varying degrees, sounds like you have it too.
