Let’s see if *I* get your point: You are commenting on the *irony* of it all, and the prejudice/arrogance involved when folks make diagnoses — or refuse to — on the basis of their immediate impressions of you rather than the basis of logic. You are not sending out a petition for a revolutionary treatment for candida. Correct?

(I wonder how many people spend time Googling “candida” so they can peddle products.)

I was expecting a completely different post, based on the title and the juxtaposition between “false” and, uh, “candida”.

Anyway, hope your boobie feels better. ; )

I don’t think you can blame the drug companies because I was given some pretty powerful oral anti-fungals too — i.e. drugs. That “detox reaction” is a standard quack excuse for a treatment that makes you sicker.

I’ve been on the candida diet for years. I was really, really, ill. The diet does make you feel worse before you feel better. It’s all about detox reactions. Now, I’m so healthy and happy and full of energy. I will never (apart from christmas maybe) eat sugar, wheat or dairy again, or drink alcohol again, and this has changed my life. It was a hard ole road though. I sacked doctors, because in my experience they know bugger all about anything they can’t see, or anything that isn’t common knowledge in the medical profession – knowledge which generally gets passed down through drug companies funding research into medications. News Target is a good site too.
Lots of love, Kaetie

I think if your immune system was strong, you wouldn’t show the manifistations of the fungus in other areas of your body- thrush, yeast infections, jock itch, etc. Unlike you, I told my dr. that i thought i had it and was treating myself. She ignored me for over a year and now I have it so bad that i can’t eat anything (because it makes me sick) off the candida detox list, which is close to nothing. I don’t think it is true that only people with compromised immune systems get systemic candida. I got it from taking a long dose of anti inflamatories that damaged the lining of my stomach. It’s possible that you have something that is weaking your immune system that your unaware of like EBV. Stress, deficiencies, allergies, poor diet, etc. can all make weaken your system. I’ve heard that the meds can make you sick when the fungus is dying off, but I also understand that it’s temporary. There are tests for candida, which give the IGA, IGG, IGM and another that will tell you whether or not it is systemic. I went to an integrative med dr. for these tests My general practitioner missed it entirely. Good Luck.

I’m not going to go that route again.

I do, however, have medication by now, it’s just a matter of being able to apply it regularly.

I can only prescribe u to adhere to anti candida diet .
and this product which i have been consuming for some time..
http://www.omx2u.com – its under Dr. ohhira , friendly bacteria ..
unlike Lactobacillus acidophilus which consists less friendly bacteria .. or threelac which has 3 strains only .. the japanese has found the best live friendly bacteria unlike the synthetic ones sold in the pharmacy

i hope u can avoid DRUGS which is detrimental to your health .. and practice wholesome foods.. and researched collectively on treatments on nutrition not DRUGS .. cos its temporarily and struck teh symptom not disease ..

i am also eating this supplement under dr. jau fei chen. http://www.eexcel.net which emphasizes on nutritional immunology .

not a magic with severe effects pills like drugs but consistent
convenient nutrition to build your immune ssytem which like me is weaken leading to CANDIDA …

if i have the money, i would go for colon hydrotheraphy which a lot of ppllike anthony robbins do to cleanse your gut ..

i hope my comments help.
