Look, all I know is that I had a severe vaginal yeast infection 5 years ago and it was the only medication that was able to get rid of the thing, so I figure it's got to do something good. And I have heard of other people taking Lamisil for candida. I was not diagnosed or anything, but I know I have it...so I'm doing Lamisil along with the diet. And my doctor would not give me medicine for profits or whatever. She wouldn't give it to me if she thought it was dangerous.
