"Most microorganisms, including Candida, live on sugar. The more Sugar they get, the more they propagate. The problem is that everything turns to Sugar except protein, and even juice fasting supplies sugars to the blood. Water Fasting is the solution. If they do not get enough sugar, microorganisms become dormant allowing the immune system a much easier time destroying them"........................ http://www.fasting.ws/fasting/candida-fasting.html
