I believe this is so because I fought candida to no avail for years. Cannot even count how much money I spent on yeast medicines. As soon as I got off them, the yeast came back. But when I started addressing the underlying diseases and over all health, the candida significantly diminished on it's own. The thing that seemed to make the biggest difference was taking Iodine. My over all health improved, as well, not just the yeast infections. As long as I take plenty of it, my tongue is pretty and pink. Of course my taking Iodine corresponded with menopause, and my hormones also changed. So if hormones were causing the yeast, then maybe it would have gone away some by itself. But the fact remains my tongue still turns white if I drink milk or eat sugar, regardless of my hormone status, unless I take the Iodine. And lets not forget that Iodine affects hormones too... It is complicated, but I believe there is a relationship.

You could be expelling boifilm layers of junk you don't want in the mucous which are good to get rid of.

So, yeah I read the posts and there were a few pretty amazing sounding success stories and that's nice to hear. But when you go to any 'diet plan' forum there are always going to be SOME success stories. I am sticking to what I always say about these diet plans: There is no ONE diet plan that will work for EVERYONE. I think the reason a lot of these get started is because someone is able to cure themselves using a certain method and then they tell EVERYONE that they have found the magic bullet to get perfect health. And yes it will probably work for SOME other people also who may have had similar body types, but one specific diet will not work for every single person. If the diet they are recommended worked for every single person then there should have been hundreds of success stories. I think I remember reading maybe 2 or 3 solid success stories.

Anyway, how is the plan working for you. It seems from your posts that you have been on it for a month and a half. Didn't seem like you were having much success in the first couple of weeks, any progress?

Personally, I agree that fruits are good and I include them in my diet and for me they seem to do more GOOD than harm but I would never do the diet they are recommending there. I have found a very simple diet that works for me, candida is well under control, all symptoms are gone except slight intestinal discomfort. For the past 2 years I have never followed any fad diets and that is when my health has got back on track.

candida colonies have (in the water at least)floaty slimey and root like strings. it's actually a kind of beautiful creature if you weren't looking at it as something destroying your body. mucous is just mucous like when you blow your nose. white fat mucous or thin mucous. actually the thin young candida is hard to tell from mucous sometimes. i just know that the larger colonies are very distinct.

That is BA-nanas!!

James,
I stop it for now because I am taking Ketoconazole 200 mg tablets plus a lot of Nystatin powder. I don't want to overload my liver when taking Ketoconazole.
