1) William Crook, M.D. lists birth control pills as one contributor to candida overgrowth. Birth control pills are horrible on your body. They mess with your body's own natural hormone output, putting you into a false state of pregnancy. it's like being pregnant for 3 weeks and not being pregnant for one week, during the time you take the blank pills with the iron supplement. At least that's how they used to be pharmacologically prepared. How long have you had a candida problem? Has it been since taking the BC pills?

2) Lemons should be no problem, though I've had trouble with my stomach on just lemon juice and water. Better to mix it with a spoon of virgin olive oil. This is a great gall bladder cleaner.

3) One a day type drug store vitamins are synthetically produced and not very easy to assimilate. A health food store will have multivits made from food sources, and a good one will have chelated minerals and trace minerals and sometimes electrolytes & enzymes.
