Candida is an imbalance of bacterias in the gut that can cause illness. Because it is not on the radar of traditional, Western medicine, most cases are misdiagnosed.
Traditional treatment is usually given from the outside in when the problem is really from the inside out. You can never cure candida by treating the skin.
Curing it properly means a lifetime of health. Letting it linger and treating only the symptoms allows disease to manifest.
