I'm trying to hit this with a lot of stuff at once. Here is what I am trying, and why.
Garlic - Selenium and Sulfer is a dandruff cure(anti-fungal)
Niacinamide - ted says it is toxic to candida. It is water soluble
Borax - cured a twitchy eye (blepharitis) (3x per week)
Vitamin C(Ascorbate) - 6000 mg, a healthy immune system can better fight candida
ACV - cured my fingers (also appears in tropicana anti-oxidant advantage juice)

Some websites seem to say to avoid Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, because it can cause canker sores. Sulfer is an antifungal... I think the Sulfate kills the candida, and then you have a hole in your mouth. I'd rather have a canker sore that Vitamin C will cure, rather than candida.
Others recommend avoiding milk. Milk Contains Lactoferrin-B which kills Candida.
Here is an article discussing Lactoferrin peptides:

It is somewhat interesting that the medical community calls Acetate and Garlic Anti-oxidents. That may be true, but they are also anti-fungals.
I haven't tried iodine yet, will try soon. That being said, the vitamin c megadose(along with some of the other stuff) seems to be working great.
In fact, after adding the garlic, I've had an "age spot", or "genetic skin lesion" disappear. Silly Dermatologists.

For two weeks, I used a 1500mg (500:1 concentrate), so really 3 mg of Sulfur. I took a pill every 3 hours until I felt pain (Kidney, liver, intestines), and then stopped for the day. Woke up and the pain was gone, started again.
Got some cloudy urine, some diarrhea (that looked like it had yeast in it), some bad gas pains. The pain that I mentioned... one day it was the kidney, next day it was the liver, then upper intestines, then lower intestines. Eventually hit the colon. Still taking the Niacinamide (with flush), and Vitamin C. Halted the Borax, and don't take the ACV regularly. Added some liquid-kelp (I've heard good things about iodoral for Candida problems). Added some lysine (to promote collagen and healing). Added some zinc.

With any antifungal regimen, extra water is a good idea. Divided doses are a good idea as well, so the fungus doesn't grow back inbetween doses. I change to a new garlic pill, Schiff Super Garlic (16 mg of Allyl Sulfides), looks like a good pill.
Note: there is a "die-off" effect with the mega-garlic, which is easily nutrilized within a couple hours with Ascorbate.

I feel like a million bucks, so good I was able to resume a few beers per week with no side effects. Note: I wouldn't recommend this, though.

Candida is NOT caused by underarm deodorants, toothpaste, or mouthwashes. One of the main causes is Antibiotics which kills the friendly bacteria and lets yeast grow too much. Another is bad eating. Also, its NOT linked to all cancers. Although many people get candida when they get cancer. Saying candida causes cancer is like saying Firemen cause fires, since they are always there when a fire happens too.
