There is a legitimate rare disorder, but usually this term, "Candida" has been (ab)used as a catchall term that includes just about everybody in the world (1 out of 3 people!) so that it can be "treated" with quack vitamins, nutrients, supplements, etc.http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/candida.html

I took 3Lac for a few months (two years ago), and it's supposed to be one of the most effective supplements for curing Candida. It did nothing for me- bc I didn't have candida. I had pois. The guy selling it is just trying to make $, nothing more than that. The guys writes that he thinks POIS sounds like its reminiscent of Candida. If he were right, that would be tantamount to pinning the tail on the donkey in 1 try.... and you are completely blindfolded and the donkey is 5 miles away. I HAVE pois, I HAVE taken 3 LAC and it DOESNT help. Also they have NOTHING to do with each other. Also you can take a 5 second "spit test" to determine if you have candida. What the guy in the article failed to mention, is there is a very basic 'spit test' you perform to see if you have Candida. Look it up, it takes 1 minute to do.

There is the true candida syndrome and the hoax. Here we decided to give up this hypothesis except if there are clear signs of candida (white tongs, lips or mouths : use google picture )
For the section "other" please, write us in a post what is this reason, it would help a lot (even if we are not in a quantitative marketing research... )
I don't donate because even with all the hard core POIS advocates donating/knowing about it, we're only in about 10%. I also am wary of NORD and people asking me for money but I'm paranoid. If we were a lot closer I'd consider it. However if someone did come up with a cure and charged 20 grand for it, I'd sign up tomorrow.
