Yes as with most things, it's actually important to maintain a proper balance of candida to keep the body in optimal condition! It's not uncommon when starting a protocol for treating a condition like candida to have what is called a Herxheimer Reaction. This is a massive die-off of the pathogen that can cause flu like systems because it is so taxing on the body's detox mechanisms. It may last a few days, but then improvements can be enjoyed. Thanks for your input, @allforthegood!
