Derek,
Primal defense isn't the same thing as Nature's Biotics. I certainly *do not* think that PD is all that is required to cure candida. I am merely saying that for me nothing I have taken has had any effect except PD. PD is certainly not a cure. It *may* be part of a cure. But that cure is up to each one of us to construct using the best of our own knowledge.
My statememnt about anti-fungals not working is only a hypothesis. One that others too have postulated. It is certainly true that for many people anti-fungals do not work.
Again my hypothesis is that once the candida gets beyond a certain percentage of the bowel flora, killing it off is not the best strategy. Rather the best strategy is to displace it with agressive bacteria.
The problem of toxicity still remains though. And this is a problem I am currently battling with. PD works - at least for me. In fact it works a little too well. It gets rid of the candida, but then the body has to face the resulting toxicity, and more than likely it is unable. After all the body in its inherent wisdom "chose" to get candida. A lot of people speculate that the body uses candida to deal with toxins it is incapable of processing - e.g. mercury from fillings etc.
