Re: Does candida get worse when you kill it?
Sky12, sorry, didn't see your post back to me.
I'm following Dr. Crandell's advice. I can't tell you how confusing the whole mess is. There are so many programs out there about candida cures. OMG, the last one I inquired about has sent me informative emails for 10 days,.....with great info, but just not now.
Long story short, I did the natural route for over a year, battling yeast. I worked with a natropath who finally sent me on to a doctor who would prescibe long term antifungals. I had tried it all, believe me. I had vaginal yeast, intestinal yeast, stool tests, u name it.
I was on ketoconzole for one month straight, and got rid of my intestinal yeast. But the vaginal yeast was there, just in a "dormant" state. this is why I went with Dr. Crandell. I had something that was so so wierd, I kept going back to my gyno with this itch, and he kept telling me I was Normal, cultures normal, everything was normal. /But the vaginal itch got worse and worse. Jorge on here told me about Dr. Crandell, and described to me what was going on, which was what she was saying happens. I was amazed that that was me!!! So I had to go with her. I ordered her info packet, (a life's worth of information-belive me, it's powerful and overwhelming but 110% thourough of how you need to go about your treatment.)
I fired my gyno and took a chance on a new gyno. She's wonderful, found evidence of yeast, and now has consulted with Dr. Crandell and they have a treatment plan for me. I am amazed that my gyno was open to someone elses knowledge and experience because my kind of yeast is not the normal persons. I am hoping it all works. I have tried everything, and been itchy for way to long with nothing working.
