Re: Treatment...

I have been thinking about this, and I think it's too difficult to say, simply because there is no one to really use as a guide. What I mean is that, first of all, we were all in different states of disrepair when we realized we had candida overgrowth. Second, for someone like me, it took at least two decades of terrible diet with almost no vegetables, IV and numerous oral Antibiotics , smoking, drinking, lack of sleep, enormous stress of law school and career, etc. etc. to get to the point where candida took over. So it only makes sense that it would take a good number of years of building the immune system back up with proper living, diet, and anti-candida measures in order to know whether this thing really is 'curable.'

I haven't even reached the one year mark yet--hell, I didn't even get my anti-candida routine correct until just a few months ago. And most of my symptoms are gone (albeit in a fragile state, but whatever). I would say that should give me and others like me a reason to be optimistic.
