Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

With all the anti-Candida sentiments on here lately I decided to throw it here for some balance of opinions

copy-paste below:

"Candida is not our enemy, candida is vital to our survival. This little microbe helps regulate our blood sugar levels, its normal for everyone to have it in their bloodstreams at certain levels…its when Candida ‘mushrooms’ out of control…then we have a problem. Candida microbes only survive a short period of time, just days at most.

When our pancreas is overworked by a high fat diet then our adrenal glands come to the aid of the pancreas… when the adrenals are stressed beyond their ability the candida microbes comes to the rescue & eat up the excess blood sugar – excess sugar in the blood can be life-threatening… The candida saves our life! Hooray for the candida microbe!

The Adrenal Glands…
Most of us eat excessive amounts of fat and live such an adrenaline-junkie lifestyle that we are constantly overworking our adrenal glands. When adrenaline is released it creates a surge of insulin resulting in the sugars in the bloodstream being made more available to the cells, hence the super human efforts we see when peeps get an ‘adrenaline rush’.

Whenever there is high fat foods consumed the adrenal glands have to produce more adrenaline… why? Because excessive fat hinders the transport & delivery of the sugar to the cells. When our poor adrenal glands are stressed again & again by high fat intake, without getting time to recover, like anything they become overworked & tired & the result is adrenal fatigue/chronic fatigue syndrome/candida overgrowth/diabetes/hyper&hypoglycemia.

So candida is our friend & if we remove the cause of it mushrooming out of control then we won’t have a problem. So what to do?… Adhere to proper food-combining and remove the excess fat from your bloodstream, keep the percentage of fat calories you consume below 10% over the course of the year and life will be sweet! Read ‘The 80-10-10 Diet’ by Dr Doug Graham and take your health to the next level.

Just as it has worked for me & everyone else – A low fat raw vegan lifestyle will address your candida imbalance -so u will no longer be a candida-feeder!! For several days I ate a diet of bananas only & within 5days my candida was happy again & today it remains so."

I don't eat raw, because it makes me very sluggish. That's where our(mine and the blogger above) opinions differ. I am vegan, but mostly eat cooked food, minus any fats/oils that don't occur naturally in the vegan foods that are not pressed veggie oils. I can't even tolerate olive oil well.

thanks for devil's advocacy.

I think I read that only 40% general population carry Candida comensally (or pathologically).

I think we could re-name this otherwise interesting thread (though I would prefer some scientific papers as references), the suggestion of "vital to survival" is that the other 60% should be dead.

Your source is a young woman with no medical background who lives in Thailand and eat nothing but fruit and charges 100$ an hour for a phone consultation to give advice on her fruit diet.

If someone were to make a wiki article from what you copy/pasted, [citation needed] would appear at the end of every sentence.

She is insanely hot though but that's irrelevant

I and others on this forum have tried raw food, it was a popular topic on here about 2 years ago and it didn't help anyone in the long term, it does reduce BB while you're on the diet but ONE cheat and you're back to square one. If candida is our problem, a very-low-fat raw food diet isn't of any help, it's been tried by many members.
