Don't apologize for telling the truth. Before I knew better I went to a homeopath who "diagnosed" people all day long with candida and heavy metals using a ectrodiagnostic device.
"Candida yeasts are generally present in healthy humans, frequently part of the human body's normal oral and intestinal flora, and particularly on the skin; however, their growth is normally limited by the human immune system, by competition of other microorganisms, such as bacteria occupying the same locations in the human body."

I don't see how this is any different from doctors who would prescribe SSRIs for any condition under the sun. There will always be a lot of doctors looking to just cash in.
Everyone has candida but it's only a problem when there is systemic candida overgrowth. I have it all over my toe nails, my elbow and I have some fungus on my back. It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination for there to be a fungal issue in my stomach as well.
The majority of our neurotransmitters are produced in the gut. It is like our second brain. If our stomach is unhealthy then it can effect mental health as well.
Yes it would be a stretch. Please cite something showing the majority of ours NTs being produced in the gut.
