I don't know who Paul Jaminet is but I do agree with what he is saying. In my opinion, the key to eliminating candida is to have the digestive fire in perfect function. Fasting and low-carbing will actually decrease the body's natural digestive fire. Most people who are sick tend to feel better when they fast or eat low-carb but they are only using a temporary fix (starving candida and bacteria and also starving your body) that long term will decrease the body's natural digestive fire that is the same force that helps clear out toxins and destroy candida and other bacterial invaders.

There are only two longevity diets : V. high carb Hunza or Okinawa or Keto diet (Eskimos). High or moderate protein diet kill you soon or later.

I use keto for 1,5 year and its v. hard for newbie but it may decrease candida and was healthy for long run!

Now am use Hunza/Okinawa mix and its better and easier for average human to balance !

I eat millet 250g daily, 300g white rice, 0,8 kg raw chinese cabage and 2 potatoes, no fat, no protein from meat. I have 55g protein from LOW CELLULOSE grains/rice and its 0,85 for every kilo so it perfect.

Calcium from one teaspoon powdered egg shells - so i build my diet from Okinawa(High Carb)/Hunza (High Carb)/Bee Wilder (keto/low carb)suggestions.

MOST IMPORTANT:
Mineral ratio: Ca/Mg ratio 2-2,5:1 ; K/Na 3:2 ; COPPER/ZINC ratio 1:10 and i try to balance those two - V. Hard.

CANDIDA is controlled by COPPER/ZINC balance in diet mainly !
