*****Oh jeez... where to start??? LOL

Well, for ONE thing, they are not taught that this is a disease. Most of them

don't even acknowledge that it exists. MY GYN told me that the only person

he EVER saw with systemic candida was " dying " . I tried to point out that

maybe THAT was an acute case, but that chronic candida doesn't kill you

rapidly, jsut a little ....day by day. Of course, he didn't " get it " . They

have never been told anything about candidiasis in med school, and many

refuse to believe that it exists. Another reason they don't " get it " is that

in MANY (most) cases, the candida is actually CAUSED by doctors. Years of

antibiotics, steroids, hormones, etc break down our immune systems and kill

off our healthy GI bacteria. So of course they don't want to recogize that

their beloved " modern medicine " caused it. A third reason that they don't

recognize (in the sense of admitting that it exists) is that there is a VERY

tight relationship between traditional medical doctors and the phsrmaceutical

industry. There is no $ to be made by doctors or pharmaceuticals in treating

candida.... it is far more profitable for them to treat the SYMPTOMS of the

candida, which guarantees that we will continue to need their services and

products. After all, if we get rid of candida, there goes most of our GI

problems, our vaginal yeast infections, many of our hormone problems (and

results thereof), our skin problems, sinus infections, etc. Need I go on????
