Yes, many people have too much yeast.
Take a look at http://www.annboroch.com/candida.htm She does an excellent job of describing the problem and treatment.
About the cleansing programs for candida that are sold in stores--These can't hurt but I doubt that they will cure the problem because they mostly deal with the candida in the large intestine. Candida can involve the whole body.
I think a person with candida needs to consult a competent holistic professional. I wouldn't trust any doctor who wanted to treat the problem only with pharmaceuticals.
Generally, the problem with yeast is that the diet isn't well-matched to your needs. You could look at my article on the Eat Right 4 Your Type diet. If you have too much yeast there's probably something in your diet that's not working well for you.
It may just be too much sugar in the diet; that'll certainly do it.

Great topic, Dr. Ron. I read your articles all the time! So basically too much yeast in the body can be managed? Are there other signs that a person should look out for? I often wonder if I'm eating too much gluten or have a sensitivity, because my joints will tighten if I eat too much gluten. I also wonder if this is due to yeast as well. Gosh, the things we learn....
