Re: Candida, high carb diet and sugar.

I will give you my opinion because I think you are some like new in this battle. I may be wrong.
Yes, pioneers MDs didn't find antifungals that were totally fungicidal against candida. In fact, they are fungistatic at the doses you can tolerate. So, they needed another resource to get a cure and the diet to starve candida came to the light. Having a weak infection, the antifungals are more effectives. At that time, there was almost no information about the fact candida is an intracellular pathogen that can live outside and inside the cells. When candida hides inside the cells keep "dormant" until the enviroment favor to go extracellular again an infect mucous membranes. It is complex mechanism which is still under research. I think in the future Science will know more about it. So far, you can follow a longer and higher therapy than what is commun known to see if it can cure the infection. I am not sure this will happen but according to several sources, there isn't way to end with a severe infection if you don't use Rx drugs. A drug combination is giving hope to many people. I am setting a plan based in this. Natural antifungals weren't enough for me, in spite of I have used all known.
