My Struggle with Candida

2008-01-25T14:18:00.000-06:00

I had Candida and did not even know it. I would constantly get bladder infections. I battled this for years. Every time I went to the doctor he would prescribe antibiotics. I would get better but before I knew it, my bladder infection would come back. I did some research and not only found that I was killing what was causing the bladder infection but also the good bacteria in my body. It was a never ending cycle. So I research on the net and found Aqua Flora. I can not believe how much better I felt. I lost 30lbs. besides. I feel great and have not had a flare up since. So let hear from more of you and your stories about Candida and Aqua Flora.
