    Well you don't have to try to convince me as I am already aware that I 
have at least some candida issues (sporadic athlete's foot).  I wonder if 
in our ancestral past humans had a forced winter diet of little to no 
carbs.  During this cyclical 'winter' diet any growth of fungus would die 
off.  In our modern environment we have a year round summer diet, not a 
natural situation at all.  
    I like your idea of a gradual reducing of carbs to keep die off 
symptoms from being too debilitating.  This is probably most natural as 
seasons gradually flow into one another rather than abruptly shifting. 
    Also, I can relate to your reading hours of articles to get to the 
bottom of your health issues.  I did the same in order to get rid of my 
acne once and for all.  At this point I know exactly what does and does 
not cause my acne.  It is just a matter of putting my knowledge into 
practice.
