John that is a good point. I am a tad skeptical of the many experiences that are labelled "die off". What my doc has told me about die off appears to be true, at least for me - that it starts approx. 1-2 days after starting an antifungal (because it takes that long for you to build up enough waste from the killing for it to make you feel bad), lasts a couple days to a week at the very most, symptoms include fatigue, muscle (especially neck) pain and tenderness, and some nausea, and then you feel better. I had in the past been mistaking an excess load on my liver as die off, and food and supplement intolerances as die off. Once I nailed this conection, I have begun to get well, with no flip flopping back and forth into feeling crappy, then feeling better, etc. I wonder if others are not paying enough attention to these possibilites.
One the other hand, exercise is very good and will assist in recovery. The idea that it can be overdone though makes sense. There is a tendency to increse intake of antifungals when one thinks it is helping (which is usually because they feel bad which they think is die off, then feel better). But, I found that if I overdid antifungals it often made me feel worse, and it was NOT because I was getting more die off as I thought, but because my liver couldn't take it or because I had an unrecognized allergy to the antifungal. So, feeling better after that was not because more candida had been killed, but because my liver got a break after I backed off. It took me 2 years to discover this conection. My doc kept saying I would never get over candida until I resolved my allergies, and I would kind of go "yeah, yeah, what is the next antifungal I can try", but it turned out he was 100% on target and now the candida seems to be falling away, practically on its own, and my food world is opening up.
You guys may be right about exercise/die-off, but just wanted to offer another perspective. Ultimatley, we know our own bodies best :)
