> Thanks, all. I had stopped looking here for a while 'cause I wasn't getting much of a response. Although I'm grateful to WolfDreamer for suggesting Candida as my problem, I don't think it is. In fact, I am highly skeptical of that dx, but I could be entirely wrong (not the first time.) It just seems to me that everyone would have this condition and besides, I wouldn't have the will power to stay on such a restrictive diet.>

I hear ya sister! (?)I am more the Western than Eastern medicine type, but may embark down the candidiasis-investigation road soon. NOT looking forward to it. But in my case I do see some things that make me believe not just anyone would have it -- like decades of indiscriminate antibiotic use ("ooooh, I'm getting a zit!!!") and subsisting almost entirely on sugar and refined carbs.....
It may be a while -- even a long while -- but I'll post back here or start a new thread if I do look into factors surrounding the legitimacy of the candidiasis thing. I still have a wealth of data here I will first read through by doing Babble/Google searches so I don't reinvent the wheel.
I've heard it said that only someone hospitalized and with an extremely weak immune system could have a bad (or at least detectable) fungal problem. BUT!!! Someone on this board made a comment in reference to that or something similar that made sense to me: there HAS to be a gray area in between having normal "flora (fauna??)" and having it be so overgrown that you could die of it.
Oh, and Maggie, I wanted to mention that in his Links page Dr. Bob has a link to northernlighttechnologies.com, another light box brand, so that must be a company he has no objection to.... Recall the name but not why I didn't go with it myself...
Ok, good luck to us all! : )
