It seems this is a very contreverial subject. Does anybody here suffer from this? If so how have you treated it? Ive read it can cause anxiety/depression.

Dear Joe,
I'm really loathe to endorse this idea. Candida is a real fungus, yes. But the only people which get verifiable overgrowths of it are AIDS patients. They get fungal infections internally that a normal person's immune system would kill within seconds. These can kill you. As far as Candida actually causing low energy, brain fog, etc....I think that something like low thyroid would be more likely to cause it, and the characteristic cravings for sweets and salts that supposedly go along with Candida. The diets for it are pretty good, though. They get rid of alot of processed awfulness which could slow you down.

Peace

I actually wondered for a while if i had it. one of the major factors that play into healthy "normal" ppl getting it is having been on a course of antibiotics for a long time or several times, which i haven't. birth control pills can also cause it, but i'm guessing you don't have to worry about that :lol:

but like HS said, the diet to get rid of candida is typical healthy no sugar 'n alcohol kinda stuff. ThreeLac is one the best products to kill it, and won't hurt you if you don't really have it.
