Hi Dudley, no I don't believe you need an antifungal agent. They are only "aids" to the diet, but not essentials. You can starve the yeast out with the strict healthy diet, plus it builds your immunity. It is about improving your immune system, which is how your body keeps yeast in balance in the first place.

I have found that antifungals only went so far and really didn't take me any further. I find the diet and good supplements to be a long term regime I can follow. Eventually antifungals didn't really work much anyway for me.

They may do something short term and quite dramatic when first taking them, but over time I don't notice them doing anything more than the diet to be honest. I don't know whether the yeast adapt or what, but I really found it wasn't the greatest help over the longer term.

Just stick with the diet and healthy foods and if you really want to take "some" form of antifungal, then use your own diet and add some garlic or cloves or something. I think natural is the way to go without overdoing things or taking harsher antifungals.
