i'm very happy with this study. i've wondered about these candida cases
that couldn't resolve with the normal anti-yeast treatments, and even more
about the mastitis-cases that would have been caused by ductal yeast. I
think the staph theory is more plausible.

a couple of years ago in the Netherlands there was run a simular research,
unfortunately it wasn't published. It as looking for yeast, but instead it
found many staph infections.

I do wonder though, how these results can be extrapolated to 'my'
population. In other words how much is the study population a
representation of the general population, or more precisely, a
representation of the Dutch population that has many homebirths (about on
out of three).
