It is not wise to rip on an ancient proven medicine - especially if you
are ignorant in how it operates. Your response is lame and without
support.

If you have candida - eat those foods and you will notice a flare up of
symptoms. If you avoid them - your symptoms will be much less.

All the above foods cause dampness. There is no disputing that. You
have a sinus infection or coughing up mass phlegm - drink milk, eat
bread and sugar - youre going to be coughing up way more. This occurs
as dampness creates more yin - which is fluid in the body - when this
occurs, yang - which is movement and fire - is blocked. This impedes
the digestive fire thereby creating dampness - thereby creating a great
environment for candida.

You think Im a quack - that's fine. Go buy your drugs and mess with
your beneficial flora and liver. If you dont - you saved yourself a
visit to the doctor every time you get sick with an URI which can be
lessened by diet. Eat ginger, garlic - warming spice foods which will
stimulate your digestive fire and rid the dampness.

You want to dispute proven medicine - you cant. You want to tell those
millions of patients treated for the past 1000+ years that they got
healthy from pills - dont think so.

Ignorance is not a good thing to have. Be open and learn when
something pops up new instead of bashing on it due to fear of the
unknown.

Respect a form of medicine that works AND saves billions of dollars a
year.

Like what I have to say - go to www.healthegoods.com - where everything
is health promoting and non-pharmaceutical. I dont think Sbharris will
be visiting there...he'd rather take some drugs and drink beer while
having candida. Enjoy it. Drug companies love that....so do fungi and
yeast.

You going to tell me that steroids are ok to take as well??
