Antifungals are often prescribed, or one could go with herbal
antifungals. The herxing from the die off can be brutal, so putting
together a protocol for managing that is essential. Many find relief
from enemas of one kind or another, because the toxins causing the
herx get re-absorbed in the gut; so evacuating the gut can really
help. Sweating is another route toxins can exit, again, wiping the
sweat off immediately before it is re-absorbed is important.
I agree with Garnet about the supplements and probiotics- that helps
both with the herx and the re-establishing of normal gut flora.
Often candida is lumped in with other fungal infections that are often
present in the body, such as aspergillus, etc, so that can affect the
die off, etc. It may be important to go slowly with the antifungals,
to keep the die off manageable. But however one looks at it, it is a
mountain that must be climbed to get to the other side, no way around
it. It is important not to give up too soon, if the herxing is bad.
Good luck, Kathryn

Just met up with a friend in town who has been diagnosed with
candida. He asked me to do a search on the net for treatment
suggestions. I'm sure CS would go a long way towards helping him so
wonder if anyone has got any information that may be of help?
