Dear Web-Weaver,

Have you ever considered a raw food diet? I know people who have cured themselves from candida by following this diet.
I read a great blog article by Frederic Patenaude last fall where he describes the issue with candida. He says in his blog...

"Most people think candida is caused by sugar but it's actually caused by fat. When we eat too much fat, that excess fat in the bloodstream diminishes insulin sensitivity, so sugar isn’t carried out as fast as it should to the cells. It accumulates in the bloodstream, feeding the candida yeast that is naturally present there. The candida then proliferates to “eat up” the excess sugar. The answer isn’t to consume less sugar, or to try to kill the candida — but to go at the root of the problem, that is, to consume less fat.

The advice I give to people who ask me about candida is to go on a really low-fat diet for a while, avoiding all oil, nuts and avocado. The problem is generally solved within a few weeks, if not a few days. Often people have been battling with this for years and get instant relief from doing this low-fat diet. After that period, then small quantities of fatty foods can be reintroduced, as explained in my book, The Raw Secrets."

If you want more information about the raw food diet, you can get 'The Raw Secrets' by Frederic Patenaude. Go to www.fredericpatenaude.com/rawsecrets.html
Best wishes to your health.
