Important Notes

Candida overgrowth real but "systemic candida syndrome" controversial in mainstream medicine. Organic Acids Test can show candida metabolites. Die-off (acetaldehyde release) causes brain fog, fatigue - go slow. Biofilm disruption is critical - candida hides in biofilms. Rotating antifungals prevents resistance. Diet is foundation - candida feeds on sugar. Must address root cause: antibiotics, birth control, steroids, high-sugar diet. S. boulardii is evidence-based antifungal probiotic. Nystatin doesn't absorb (gut only), Diflucan is systemic. Many need prescription for stubborn cases.
