The immune system has some cells called suppressor cells. Those cells are which avoid an autoimmune attack against your own tissue. Candida is known to suppress those cell's work. If you follow a good protocol with a whole food diet, an anticandida treatment and supplements to repair the intestinal lining, after 6 to 8 months you may be a lot better or totally well. This is what the literature says. So, let believe in them.
