What Works against Candida, What Doesn’t, and What Never Will.
It’s serious business, this Candida. It’s immensely frustrating to try to find a doctor to help you because there are few who have the knowledge. Fungal yeast overgrowth in the human body is not taught in medical schools. So despite the fact that autopsies have found kidneys and other organs literally clogged with yeast cells most doctors have not had any training in fungal yeast overgrowth and often disavow that it even exists.
To top it off, there are so many product offerings to “cure candida” that it can boggle your mind.
One thing you can know for sure, when it comes to Candida products, if a claim sounds ridiculous it is ridiculous.

A Short History of Candida overgrowth
Though modern doctors know little, it was a couple doctors who first discovered that fungal yeast can overgrow in the body and cause all kinds of toxic symptoms.
1953 Dr. Orian Truss, 1986 -Dr. William Crook
In 1953 Dr Orian Truss discovered the devastating effects of antibiotics in an Alabama (USA) hospital. He began exploring ways of treating what he called “antibiotic syndrome” (interesting name, hey?). In the 80′s, the idea of Candida overgrowth went public with the publishing of “The Yeast Connection” by Dr. William Crook and “The Missing Diagnosis” by Dr. Truss. Their books detailed how our natural and even beneficial Candida yeast begins to change into something new and very different and warned us how certain, modern conditions promote this transformation from good yeast to bad. Dr. Crook showed a way to fight this condition and limit it’s symptoms by “starving” the yeast with a special and severe method of eating called theCandida diet. For people affected by Candida, going on the Candida diet was like being given a new life: yeast infections went away, energy returned, thought processes became clear again. It was a miracle. Life became normal again.
Until those faithful “dieters” had . . . a cookie! Or a piece of bread. A glass of wine. Well, just about anything . . .
As amazing as the Candida diet was it had a huge vulnerability. If you ateanything at all that fed the yeast in your body you found all your symptoms returning and you were at square one again -starting all over.
There are many ways to fail in the fight with Candida overgrowth. The impossible Candida diet is one of them.
Despite the new revelations learned about how to conquer Candida there are still people today that will sell you e-books or counseling to go on this all-but-impossible diet to eliminate your Candida.

Skip Ahead -the 90′s
A decade later, many antifungal remedies, both synthetic and herbal had been introduced to help battle this condition. These arrived in the form of both pharmaceutical drugs like Nystatin, Diflucan and mitroconazole and the natural antifungals like garlic, caprylic acid, pau d’arco, oregano oil, coconut oil, olive leaf and colloidal silver to name just a few.
The only problem is that the tricky fungus is able to “morph” or evolve to resist each and every antifungal, making them less and less effective over time. A person ended up where she/he started and the fight against Candida went on. These products were always recommended to be combined with the Candida diet.
