Re: Is this the Smoking Gun? Can SIBO cause Candida

Glad to read that you read it. I feel there are a lot of scientific innaccuracies in some of those posts, but that the greater truth exists in them.

Here's another post I enjoy which covers the topic

He states that an obese woman and a skinny male suffer from the same malnutrition, but that the muccoid plaque inhibits the absorption of everything but Sugar in the obese woman and everything but protein in the male.

I also like the theory of homotoxicology.

It says the body goes through 6 different phases as it becomes more and more toxic. Basically as you are in storage mode of toxins, you will feel relatively healthy until shit hits the fan. This means when you detox you will be releasing all those toxins so you will feel terrible for a very long time. I also believe this is why being alkaline actually helps candida despite hveragerthi's scientific evidence that candida grows in an alkaline state. When the body becomes too acidic it stores the wastes in tissues to compensate and return to a reasonable pH. I beleive when you detox and alkaline yourself the body does become alkaline, but only until it's built its mineral reserves up enough to allow new toxins to be excreted from stores tissues rendering you once again extremely acidic.
