my experience and opinion is that you have to hit it on many fronts. you have to eat right (and never cheat) for months, maybe several. diflucan helps i think. but there's more, you have to attack the candida (garlic, caprylic acid, etc.), and you MUST exercise because you have to keep all glands pumping. Candida can hide in your lymph nodes and such. you really have to work at it
