Are you undergoing chemotherapy? Do you use as steroid inhaler? Do you take
systemic steroids? You don't have HIV/AIDS/leukemia/lymphoma, as far as you know, right? Those are the only reasons you MIGHT actually have a problem with this.

And the inhaler could lead to thrush but not systemic stuff.

Here's some pretty good info.


https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/candida-and-fake-illnesses/

"One popular fake illness is chronic candidiasis. Candida albicans is a fungus that colonizes about 90% of the population (meaning it is present in the body but not causing an infection or any problems). It can, however, become an infection, usually at times of stress or immunocompromise. The most common manifestations are thrush (a superficial Candida infection in the mouth) and vaginitis, also commonly referred to as a yeast infection.

Candida can also rarely cause serious systemic infection, but this is mostly restricted to those with compromised immune systems, such as patients undergoing chemotherapy or with advanced AIDS."

"Candida hypersensitivity is an implausible syndrome, simply another “one cause of all disease” alternative claim. Such claims are useful only for generating demand for fanciful and worthless treatments."
