My ultimate advice would be to educate yourself on a continual basis, try new things, and build a model of your illness and how you got that way. Knowledge is power.
Symptoms rarely manifest themselves in the same part of the body where the original problem lies. Tackling the symptoms head-on hasn't worked for me. That is to say, candida isn't the problem, it is merely the symptom.
My own personal belief is that the liver plays a prime role in candida. Even orthodox medicine says that candida can't be a problem in an otherwise healthy individual. I believe that they are correct to an extent. Something has to be sustaining the candida.
Candida can not take a foothold in a strong vital body. Our ancestors never suffered from this disease. Why is that? Could it be that we are so weakened by our toxic lifestyles that we are all essentially "immune-compromised"?
Going back to the liver. I got candida after getting glandular fever. Fighting that disease was the hardest thing I ever had to do, and I believe my liver took a terrible toll. My digestion suffered and the end result was candida. Gut dysfunction doesn't happen overnight - it takes many months to manifest.
Andreas believes that all candida is down to liver-dysfunction (from stones). I don't know if I would go that far, but it is the best model for my condition that I have come across. All the facts fit.
So my advice would be, whatever else you do, to cleanse your liver.
