I am happy to report that I have cured my Candida overgrowth for the time being!
I found the product Candex to be effective in killing off the rest of my overgrowth problem. I have no more itchies on my toes, and no more bubbles of infection popping up.
I ate a sugar cookie a couple of days ago to test to see if symptoms would return and nothing!
But I find the fact that most American doctors deny that Candida is a pervasive health problem to be an amazing fact. I went in search of SOME explanation for this phenomenon this morning.
The only plausible reason I could find is that the medical establishment (MDs and the pharmaceutical companies) don’t want us to accept and understand the fact of Candida overgrowth, because they can make so much more money by “managing” the myriad of other illnesses caused by this fungus. Also most patients might not be willing to deny themselves their serious sugar addiction even for a couple months, to fight the disease.
This still doesn’t explain my dermatologist’s lack of any explanation or cure for my problems though. To tell a patient that they have eczema and will have it forever, with no offer of further explanation is despicable! Especially when the naturopath I saw after that recognized my Candida overgrowth problem immediately and started to help me fight it.
It is GREAT to see that there ARE medical practitioners who are well informed and willing to assist their patients properly with Candida problems. I found this website by OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner Marcelle Pick to contain a correct and very helpful analysis of the problem. This is where I got my information about using Candex, available through health food stores like Vitamin Cottage.
