I believe most folk get some C albicans infestation at birth from the
birth canal.  I've heard and read (Crook?) that normal gut flora keep
it reasonably well under control.  Use of antibiotics depresses
normal gut flora and Candida flourishes.  Its waste products are
supposedly moderately toxic.  Restoration of normal gut flora helps.
Such organisms as Lactobacillus acidophilus are highly beneficial.

Supposedly nystatin will kill C albicans of one simultaneously
discontinues feeding the yeast ie: lowcarb dieting.  But supposedly
lowcarb dieting does the job by itself.
