Re: Good question

Don't talk to me about UK winters - just when you think they are over they come back to get you!

The fact that it is so hard to budge tells you it has a pretty good stonghold somewhere.

> re grains. I eat wholegrain organic wheat bread (homemade), and otherwise eat a lot of raw rolled oats, raw millet flakes, wheatgerm, oatgerm. Some rye (cooked), wholegrain rice & quinoa (cooked)

errr - thats an awful lot of grains. The important thing is not so much the type but the amount. How much grains do you eat a day? All of the above can potentially feed candida. Millet is especially bad (at least for me). Its my candida's favourite food.

I'm not a big fan of raw garlic - simply because I respect it too much. It is such a powerful broad spectrum Antibiotic that I would be afraid it was killing the good guys. I'm not saying it does kill good bacteria, I'm just saying that we don't know.

Why don't you try Molkosan on your salads instead? That way you'll be feeding the good guys.

Don't bother growing stuff - as you say it'll take ages. You can get good quality powdered stuff. I cured my thrush using green barley grass powder, and now I'm working on the rest of my candida with powdered chlorella.

I'm not a big fan of probiotic pills as I've tried a lot and most of them are useless. Molkosan is good for thrush, and Primal Defense for systemic candida, but pretty much everything else didn't do anything.
