Another area that may be helpful is to perhaps eat smaller meals. Large meals travel further distance down the intestines before they are fully digested and absorbed. It's believed that the yeast generally resides far down that intestinal tract. If our meals are digested before they hit this area of the intestines, the yeast is effectively starved. Candida has been shown to grow rapidly in the presence of these substances.
Proteins tend to starve yeasts and carbohydrates ultimately break down into sugars.
Taking oral glucosamine works to prevent the binding of Candida to epithelial mucosal cells, and works to restore the mucosal layer. The antifungals work to dissolve the outer cell membranes of the yeast, causing them to disintegrate. He feels that nothing lesser than this strength would accomplish a permanent cure. From my lyme treatment days, I still have a two month's supply of the strong prescription, Sporonox, in my drawer, but have resisted taking it for the time being to see if I have the ability to successfully treat this condition without prescription antifungals. While it's still possible that I may one day take them, I've seen an all but full recovery now without them.
