When the Greek physician Hippocrates wrote “Let food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be food,” around 440-350 B.C., I’m willing to bet he never imagined that so many years later most doctors would still have not much more than a rudimentary understanding of nutrition and of food’s role in our health.

Candida infection has been a long misunderstood condition, sometimes even described as a "myth."

Somewhere along the primordial way, a bunch of micro-organisms became enclosed by, fewer in number, but larger “tissue” cells and the evolutionary race was on. This co-operative, bi-partisan effort allowed both types of cells to emerge from the primordial goo and the foundation for the human race was set. Through time, dinosaurs, and an ice age or two, this Human/Bacterial (HumBac) hybrid was able to go a lot farther than either party could have gone on their own.
