Its so different for everyone depending on how much candida you have, how long you have had it and how well your organs of elimination are working. I have had candida for a long time, my liver is very sluggish and I am a slow detoxifier so everytime I get a candida relapse it takes me a long time unfortunately. I do know though that as you clear the candida and take the load off your liver the odour does get less and less so feel reassured. No I dont reckon the rock deo. works either but I dont care much for applying anything chemical to my skin. Apparantly 40% of what we apply to the skin gets absorbed into the bloodstream. Not good news.
