No, I have definitely not won the battle yet, but am better. I had done the run around for two years to mainstream type doctors all the while getting sicker and sicker until I found my doctor who is a DO and runs a wellness clinic. His wife went through this in 1995 is how he got into treating it.

By the time I got diagnosed, I was basically bedfast with horrible fatigue, muscle and joint pain. I was diagnosed with a live blood analysis, which is where they look at a drop of blood under a very high powered microscope.

In all honesty the main thing I use my doctor for is to rerun the microscopy every 3 to 4 months to see how I'm progressing. He originally prescribed anti-fungals that did nothing but make me worse so after about 6 months I found curezone and starting on my own healing path. Besides the diet, I do Liver Flushing and started colonics in Jan. that have helped trememdously. There is not fast way out of this nightmare and I had an incredibly hard time accepting that fact.

OK..Thanks!!!!!!!! One question...my dr. claims its irritable bowel syndrome (I.B.S.), and I'm taking Zelnorm for it, which does help the cramping. Can I take the products you recommended with the Zelnorm? Thanks! : )

Most anything that will help with candida, will have a die-off. It's your choice to continue living with candida or deal with die-off symptoms for a short time.

I know exactly what you are going through, I am in the same boat, but a little more educated about the topic.

I had the same short span, couldn't read, but I had to be strong.

Medicines didn't help me. I tried dozens and dozens of them. They only overburden our body, a body that is already weak and confused.

First of all, you will have to do a LOT of reading, you will have to educate yourself, so much so you feel like you know everything there is to know.

First thing that helped me greatly, was 'colonics' ( do a search for colonic, or colon irrigation or hydrotherapy. Go for assissted colonics, they have better results.

You will have to make major diet changes, ORGANIC, VEGETARIAN AND AS MUCH RAW AS POSSIBLE.

You need to learn about chemicals in water, food and household products that we use.

There is so much to tell, that I cant throw it all on you in one message.

Keep posting and I will reply with something new to read or learn everytime.

If you can afford to go, which will be a better option, goto a natural healing institute for 2, 3 or more weeks.

Here are a few links...

There are many more places to look for healing. Call them, tell them your symptoms, ask them if they can help you, ask for prices, some even offer scholarships ( partial payments) if you cant afford.

Read about enemas, chelation, ozone therapies, vitamin C therapy, meditation, imagination.

I think you will have to look for a doctor who believes in alternative medicine and offers therapies.

About acid and alkalizing diets.

Here is a picture, you have to reclaim you inner terrain, which has been taken over by invisible enemy, who is extremely strong. You have to learn how to strengthen your immune system, so it can fight with the enemy. You have to learn how to kill the enemy and then how to get it out of your body, even after they are dead and then how to rebuild the cells.

Whatever you eat, they take all the nutritions from that food, away from you, that is why you are tired. After eating, like any other living thing, they poop, now the body that is already deprived of nutitions, is burdened with toxins, why the spaciness. The Sugar you been eating, you are eating for to feed them, to keep them alive.
One rule for candida diet, NO Sugar !!!!! not even fruits, not even carrots or starchy veggies, for the initial cleanse, until you have killed them all.
Second, ALKALIZE!!
Thrid, DETOX!!

I think thats all for now. Here are a few links..

The purest kind you can get, like from foods. Fermented vegetables, SauerKraut, Kim chi. But not grocery store brand, either organic from WholeFoods or make your own.
Or raw-organic yougurt, probiogurt and kefir.

Hold on a sec.. I just thought of something...

I found out about this few days ago and havent tried it yet. If you do before me, please let me know.

Yes, In the beginning it seems overwhelming, takes some time to get used to it, then we start loving it :D when we know the benefits of our new lifestyle. You will never want to go back.
