This should have all the questions.

What about this for your questions I was hanging on this all the time, my tests

all show I'm dehydrated.

Are some people changing their diets in some way masking PA like I was?

Low carb's just with protein, fats and veg, although its not healthy is very

popular, could be many doing what I was doing..

People do go to alternative medicine when desperate, homeopaths are known for

treating candidas if mild but its just a symptom!!

The candidas diet is low in potassium, which could give someone more low

potassium symptoms too.
