<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Forum readers, Thanks to all who replied with helpful suggestions for my wife and offers of prayer support. I really appreciate it deeply. My wife and I have read through all of them and are considering getting her into a candida/detox program to deal with a leaky gut/ bacterial imbalance and the complications that arise from this. A couple of the programs we are looking at are these: http://healthtruth.reachlocal.net/ and http://www.ehcd.com/ While the info is very thorough and detailed, I'd like to know where the research documentation can be found that validates the supplements and herbal therapies used to treat the problems in these programs. I mostly see "medical commentary" and testimonial information. Can any of you comment on the scientific validity of these programs? For example, if program A uses supplement B to treat symptom C, where are the studies that prove this to be valid and not just a placebo that works on 30% of those who try it? Do they exist somewhere that I can check them out or are they the result of an accumulation of "tribal knowledge" from around the globe? Thanks again for your help.
