Yeasts are attracted to estrogen and glucose, and when the [[thyroid]] hormone is deficient the antibodies that normally protect membranes tend to be deficient.

A rinse with a little powdered sulfur usually eliminates yeast, [[vitamin A]], along with other adequate nutrition, can often correct leukoplakia.
