It's just a conclusion i've come to. ALA just makes me feel like death and i'm down to 145lbs which is ridiculously low. As soon as i touch any carbs im salivating like crazy. So i've decided to use the biggest and most powerful anti candida products there are. My gut needs to heal so i can start absorbing nutrients and my PH is wacked out too. For me i think candida thing comes first.
