You have to do your own research. Do what makes sense for you. For instance I was torn on whether to go the akalizing route or the acidic route, then I did research and learned that lacto bacillus produces acid, and this is what keeps Candida in check. So I'm sticking with the acidic theory. If you go see a doctor they might recommend what they think is best, but it might not be best, I had a doctor that wanted to put me strictly on antifungals without probiotics, they said the liver would produce more probiotics and I wouldn't have to worry about it, now is that better than visiting this site? I think not. Just take what advice goes with your established plan of action and ignore those that doesn't. Don't listen to everyones advice stick to your course of action and just tweak it time to time, don't introduce a new product and change direction every week.
