Candida/Fungal Infection and Symptomology

I find that most clients that I come across, have a fungal infection. There are so many symptoms that candida can present with. I try not to treat the symptomology, but use the 401H lab test from Bio-Health to find out exactly what levels of candida they have. Then from there I treat it with the Kaufman diet from the book The Fungal Link. I do Phase 1 for 3 months and Phase 2 for 3 months. As well, I treat it with a 2 month protocol of Cancid Forte from Orthomolecular, Formula SF722 from Thorne (Castor bean oil), AP from Biotics (oregano oil) and Pea D’arco teas at night. This 100% of the time works, if and only if the diet is followed.
