Re: Interesting article

Maybe we should just create another forum called something like "The Candida Myth" or "Candida Doesn't Exist" or maybe just change the name of this forum to something of that nature since about half or our members or more think candida and fungal overgrowth doesn't exist. I don't know what we are all doing on this forum anymore. Instead of learning anything at all on this forum, if someone might post an informative article about candida then the other members just randomly attack that person for posting the article in the first place, saying that believing candida might be their problem is just plain stupid of that person. Very supporting of the whole support group if you ask me. I personally had all the symptoms of candida and now have gotten back to being normal as long as I stay on the diet. I used to have the white tongue, the brain fog, allergies, sinus infections, fevers, swollen lymph nodes, I caught every illness I came in contact with, & had skin rashes and joint pain-all gone away now after eating a regular candida diet (meats, nuts, veggies & some fruits)and taking antifungals for a time. I don't take antifungals anymore, but am still on the diet and using multivitamins and probiotics and I feel very good. I personally believe that candida or a type of fungal overgrowth was my problem. Am I cured? I don't know. If I start eating a lot of breads and junk food-yes my symptoms come back, go back to eating the candida diet and all my symptoms go away again. Most would say that isn't a cure, because I can't go back to eating the bad foods that we all love to eat without starting to feel terrible again. Does that mean that I will never be cured or does that mean perhaps my body doesn't want me to eat all those foods with additives, colors, preservatives and refined sugars and starches in it that are really bad for me to begin with now that my body is used to eating healthy foods? I may never be able to go back to eating garbage again on a regular basis, but I really don't have a problem with that since I feel really good these days, and since the news lately has been reporting that eating lots of refined carbs is linked with obesity, cancer, & diabetes and high cholesterol I really feel okay about not eating all that stuff and becoming even more sick later on in my life because of it. I used to enjoy reading things here from people who had problems like I did, sometimes adding what I have learned also, but anymore I am nervous to post anything because of the attacks from other members that might ensue. If all this forum is going to become is a bunch of members attacking anyone for believing that candida might be their problem, then maybe it's time to change the name of Candida Support to something else.
