Hi Sean,

Well, there is no real cure except restoring immunity. Yeast is meant to be there (but in balance). It is about restoring the immunity so it can do it's job better and keep yeast at healthy levels. Easier said than done, if the underlying problem is not so easily cured or dealt with (or even understood).

People who are searching for a way to wipe out yeast maybe disappointed. If the diet has not been adjusted to both build immunity and deny overgrown yeast what it requires to thrive at high levels, they'll be wasting their time. I know I've already repeated this umpteen times, so I'm sure you don't need to hear it again.

Somebody on here tried to do a short cut method and simply use strong antifungal agents and I think without the diet in place or they didn't pay much attention to it. At first, it seemed to work, until later when and as far as I know, they were back here disappointed.

No true professional that I know of treats their candida patients without a proper diet regime and if they do? I'd be very suspicious.

I still think it's the safest and healthiest way and has been for me.

My doctor gave me baking soda recently Sean. But I am no longer taking it. I did not like my response to it and though it maybe "die off", I'm thinking it may not be. There are different theories about dealing with yeast. Baking soda may cause overdosing of sodium and somebody I know who took it wound up severely mineral deficient. They said they will not take it again. One article I read mentioned how yeast thrive in an over alkaline environment and baking soda is suppose to promote alkalinity.

Though one lady who is I think an expert on candida, does not really believe in the acid/alkaline theories and believes the body will balance that itself. She does believe that baking soda is an antifungal, but she says it depletes essential minerals and does not recommend it's use.

Not sure what it did to me, but the day I used it, I was miserable that night. again could have been die off, but it felt more like the opposite to me....could be wrong though. Let me know how it goes for you if you try the stuff.
