How are your treatments with Patel going?

I was on the diet for over a decade and all it did was trash my liver. There is more to it than just the diet and if you don't get certain treatments I don't think you will cure it. I've learned to control it, but have not cured it.

Rice cakes were preventing me to get better because of 2 reasons. Rice cakes are high carb food which feed yeast + rice like most grains contain mold which in turn contribute to poison even more your system with mycotoxins. These mycotoxins are immune suppressive. It is hard to get rid of them because toxins coming from candida and mold will be stored in your fat tissues because of overburdened elimination pathways. Chronic candidiasis make us unable to process toxins efficiently which leads to a toxic build-up which in turn leads to a weaken immune function.

I disagree with some things about the diet. All candida diets I have been across including those in my 17 candida books allow carbohydrates. If those eminent Drs are not lying, candida can be eradicated following a low carbohydrate diet, 60 and 80 g a day. The standart grain allowed in most candida diets is brown rice. Zoltan Rona, Trowbridge, Truss, and even Michael Biamonte allow carbohydrates. If we are going to panic with a minimun amount of carbohydrates, we are lost because Dr. Bruce Semon explains very clear in his books that candida can feed with proteins and its byproducts are worse than those produced with carbohydrates. Zoltan Rona have said that he has prove candida feeds with Stevia. So, I will say the same Dr. Crandall has said, if we get all the candida diets around an eliminate all the prohibit food, we are left with nothing to it. The candida diet was created by Dr. Truss to help the antifungals to eliminate the fungus. I think if the fungus don't die following an anticandida diet with a minimun of carbohydrates, it won't with 0 carbohydrate either because our Sugar level in blood will be there and the proteins too. Plain yogurt has lactose but the bacterial cultures use it to ferment and growth. Also, there are almost no testimonies of people doing heroic efforts following a 0 carbohydrate diet who has been cured. If that was the cure, the internet was full of this claim. There are hundreds looking for the cure and nobody says where it is. It is easy to say follow a protein and green vegetables diet for 6 months and you will be cured. I am able to do it but how I know this is the cure ?? I also don't think a fungal overgrowth happens without a cause. I didn't have any intestinal problem before to take Antibiotics for 5 weeks. It was caused by the Antibiotics . Period. No problem with my liver, neither I was sick with another illness. I lived all my life working hard and eating what I wanted feeling perfect. If I weren't taken the Antibiotics , I were a normal person. This is an iatrogenic illness caused by medicines. I will way until someone stands and says 6 months 0 carbohydrates was the cure. If this happen, I will burn my candida books and all the papers I have collected linked to candida (more than 300). I will be glad someone be cured with a 0 carbohydrate diet because at least we will know where is the cure. So far, I don't know what it is.
