People who post frequently on these forums with links to their own websites are not spending this much time for free. It may appear that their web pages are "ad free", but everytime you click on one of the links within the web sites, you may be directed to a website which IS selling products and which DOES contain advertising. Since the person who posted here managed to get you to those websites, even though it took two steps, they collect a fee. It's essentially payment for referral.
So again, someone may say their sending a message to everyone about a miracle cure with hundreds of testimonials "out of the kindness of their heart", but there is an ulterior motive. No one would put in that much time building websites and then going out to solicit "hits" through CureZone.
Look at some of the posts that I'm referring to, and look at how many hits each one of those posts gets. Most of the readers will click on the link, and then a percentage of those will unsuspectedly click on multiple links once they've gotten to the "gateway" web page. Each of those clicks can be generating revenue.
In addition, a lot of readers here love drama. So, the more drama, the better for the web site creator, because they will get even more hits on CureZone.
Yes, there may be some merit to the suggested "cures", but we all know that there is no one right answer. The person posting is off the hook though, because all of the proper FDA disclaimers are in place and the poster is pointing to secondary references who are actually on the hook for the efficacy of the suggested remedy.
Moderators have a tough time putting a stop to this because the poster praises CureZone, and even includes links back to CureZone on the "gateway" website. So the website can also be a "gateway" to CureZone. This can make the moderators at CureZone more tolerant of the behavior.
This is a known way of making money on the internet, but I can't say that everyone who has such a system established, is necessarily guilty of this type of deception.
Fectoid,
That is a great question!
The answer is not surprising. I had no idea what was wrong with me for more than 30 years.
The doctors I visited always had a "Pill for Every Ill" NEVER was Candida mentioned by any of my doctors. So I was simply clueless. Kept in the dark & fed VERY EXPENSIVE BS by the Medical Establishment.
I simply suffered from devastating chest colds every winter, caught every flu that came around, and suffered brain fog, athlete foot,toe fungus, stinking feet. Then came the Asthma, and of course the doctors had a VERY expensive inhaler & more pills to treat that symptom.
I had heard of Candida, but thought that was just a minor female infection of the vagina.
Then just a few years ago, I discovered by accident that Vitamin D3 cured my Chest colds & occasional flu. I didn't know why, so I did a lot of research on Vitamin D3:

At Marks Daily Apple, I joined a discussion group on Iodine 3 years ago and started taking iodine. Within 6 months my prostate problems were cured, and my brain fog was gone. Stinking feet were no longer stinkin. I didn't know why, so I started MASSIVE research and documented my findings:

Then just recently a few months ago, I stumbled upon this document that listed all the symptoms of Candida.

My jaw dropped! There it all was: Every symptom that I had been suffering for DECADES! Including my Asthma! by this time, I had documented our Testimonials cured by Iodine, http://tinyurl.com/iodine-testimonials
and to my great surprise, the iodine deficiency symptoms were mostly the SAME as the Candida List! WTF! Candida & Iodine symptoms were clearly related. What a revelation! BUT WHY??????
Then since iodine had cured my all my other problems, I searched "asthma iodine" to see if there was a connection. Sure enough, SSKI had been the MAIN cure for asthma for 100+ years!
This was the result:

Bottom line, I was never diagnosed with Candida. Doctors just don't discuss Candida, and most refuse to admit it even exists. So I based my diagnosis only on symptoms.
NEVER GET SICK IN AMERICA! You will fall into the clutches of the Medical Establishment and get progressively sicker with each visit! See the 5 Stages of Candida! http://aleciajeanne.hubpages.com/hub/The-5-Stages-Of-Candida-Overgrowth
THIS is the goal of the medical establishment. More & more expensive drugs until we die of Candida Stage 5!
I was just lucky to discover these cures by pure luck and determination to learn. The Marks Daily Apple Forum was critical to my progress. Then the Curezone Iodine Forum became my home base. Trapper has been my Guiding Light and has been a great help to all.
He is kind enough to help us out here at the Candida Forum.
Thank you, Trapper!
So as I am in the habit of documenting everything I learn here is my website to help everyone.

It should not take 30 years to find optimal health!
So why does Iodine & Vitamin D3 cure so many health problems? They are both extremely critical to our immune system. Candida is cured just with Vitamin D3 alone!

Bottom line: Cure the Immune System and health problems fade away. Fire your doctors, and stop buying drugs.
