That's very odd. Does she have a degree in Naturopathy from a certified Naturopathic educational institution?

I suggest you check the following link and see if she is listed there:
http://www.naturopathic.org/


If not, ask where she received her training. There are people out there claiming to be Naturopathic Physicians who are not certified as N.D.s.

I've never heard of an N.D. who was not a supporter of fasting, unless the patient had some condition that contraindicated it. One such condition could be anorexia or bulimea. I've actually had to deny colonics to people (mostly younger women, including teens) who have come to me to promote weight loss as a result of an eating disorder.

I would be a bit skeptical about her credentials.

Find a new naturopath.

Relax.. No point of going or finding someone else if only Candida is an issue. I also have the one (I guess) so I will give u three possible ways to cure it.

1) go for candida cleanse for at least a month (find in the net candida cleanse diet or something like that and follow it).

2) Again in the net I have found that coconut oil can help u with it. U need to take 4 table spoons of it for several weeks and as soon as u feel better then go for couple of weeks or so but taking just 2 table sppons of it.

3) Somer recomended me one day to go for a 10 days GREEN juice fasting to cure my possible candida. U need to stick to mostly vegies (try to awoid fruits at all). If u need a sweet fix then Sommer recommended to use GRANNY SMITH apples for juicing (but from time to time). Also she recommended to drink, again for a 'sweet fix' one spoon of Black Strap Molasis delutied in a warm or hot water (organic one). Drink 3-6 (or more) cups of juice WITHOUT a pulp every day. Keep juice, the one u will juice in advance to drink throught a day in air tight containers.

Water fast? I think there is no problem with it as well. But if u work then may be better to have a juice fasting instead.

Good luck!.. :))
