Hello Emma,

I have not had any experience with this diet and the article you
are reffering to is all wrong. I know for an absolute fact that
candida
can cause many other problems in the body and I have the research
material to prove it.

The guy is also wrong on the food supply and the fact we all have
this in our bodies. We all have yeast in our bodies that is kept
under
control by good bacteria. Yeast is a single celled organsim that does
feed on sugar as he has stated. Once the yeast to bacteria ratio
gets out of balance yeast mutates to a multicellular form of fungus.
It has a plant cell wall with a lipoprotein core and a center
nucleus.
It feeds by extended hyphae which are root like structures like
a plant. Thru these roots it injects exoenzymes into what ever it is
attached to, which is you. The dissolving substrate is then sucked
up
into the candida. So, it eats anything which is mainly its host. Of
course it will also eat any waste or indigested foods it comes in
contact
with as well. The hyphae puncture the intestinal wall and it begins
to
feed on whatever is in the blood stream. These hyphea can meet
as the structure grows and since the nucleus of the cells contain two
sets of chromosones the cells when they come in contact breed
by splitting themselves in two to form a new cell. This new cell,
if the roots met on the other side of the intestinall wall, enters
the blood stream and is free to go where ever it wishes.

It has the ability to shape shift and rearrange its chromosones
and passes this on to its offspring. One species of candida can
take on 7 different forms although the two most common
are a white cylindrical form and a greyish form. This is an adaptive
strategy that helps insure its survival.

I would add Candex to the Threelac. Candex will eat thru the cell
wall and Threelac will get the nucleus of the cell. Don't be afraid
of raises the doses as you go. Maybe after 2 or 3 weeks increase
the candex by 1 cap 2 x aday and the Threelac by 1 packet 2
x a day. Keep doing this every two weeks and you can also add
some other bacterial product and take 30 to 50 billion, or more live
spores a day.

If they have determined its in your blood stream then you are
going to have to get the macrophages, neutrophils, phagocytes,
and natural killer cells involved to get it all.

Hope that helps,

Dan
