But the makers/distributors of Threelac suggest the reason why it stops Candida dead in its tracks is because it turns the Gut PH to Alkaline, and according to them, Candida cannot handle living in an Alkaline environment and therefore die. Apparently Threelacs mechanism of activity is not through killing the yeast directly (ie; is not Fungicidal). This is their big selling point if you read their literature, and it's a big assumption if what I have read elsewhere suggest that Candida thrives in a gut PH that is Alkaline. Now this question may seem superfluous to you but to me it directly relates to whether I will continue to use Threelac or not. At $100 Aussie a tin it's fairly important to me to find the truth. What concerns me is that two extremely well trained doctors/scientists can have two entirely different views on this subject which is something that I thought would or could be determined simply enough via a test tube. I have nothing against Threelac or Global Health Trax, I've certainly given them enough of my hard earned money over the last six months, I just would to know if I am heading up the right path or not.
