Yup, totally agree with what that guy said.
A few things make doctors not "believe" in it.
First there are no real signs of it. Its in everyones body, and today thrush is so common b/c of diet and
Antibiotics use. You can't just see someone and say hey you have a candida problem.
There are so many symptoms for it, that to some doctors it seems like a reason for everything. The problem is doctors look at a symptom and try to treat the symptom. Its ridiculous. One neurologist I saw said he didn't know what was wrong and told me I have fibro most likely among chronic fatigue syndrome etc. This guy was a m*o*o*n.
Its very rarely if ever life threatening. Doctors told me, even my dad (I kind of hate him nowadays), told me I was just depressed. I really hate doctors for this reason.
Then theres the politics, & big pharma. Big Pharma doesn't try to put everyone else down and want you to be unhealthy. But they push their products on doctors that only treats things. Fibromayalgia only exists because someone needed a billing code to diagnose it. And for some reason doctors think billing codes are a guidebook of some sort.
The percriptions like niacin are very uneffective in treating candida overgrowth by itself. Normally it requires massive lifestyle change for at least several months. & Doctors are likely marked as crazy and ridiculed.
Giving a stupid person a medical degree doesn't make them any smarter. A lot of patients are stupid too, & hurt those of us who are actually trying to figure out whats going on.
