Just wanted to comment here b/c I had an accidental encounter with testosterone. My husband uses this due to health issues that require it. One day I was cleaning his bathroom and happen to wipe what I thought was a small drop off the counter with some tissue. Well, I didn't think about it much, but I did happen to get a bit smeared on my hand. Within 15 minutes I was in a full-out die-off reaction. I had no idea what was going on, my heart started beating stronger, my stomach started contracting, my nose became quite red and flushed. Within hours the candida was coming out in droves!! Needless to say I cannot do this on a regular basis--being a woman that is. But I always wondered how my husband stayed away from the yeast beast b/c he and I have many of the same endocrine challenges. I thought it was just my imagination, but I did repeat the expirement and the same thing occured. I would not dare recommend one way or another, but I can say for sure that it KILLS CANDIDA!
