Go to www.bodyecology.com website and there is a ton of good information on Candida. I believe, yes, that it can cause extreme brainfog, depending on how bad you have it. Candida can be life threatening. It can even become so virulent that it wraps itself around your spinal cord.
One of it's byproducts is acetaldehyde, I believe, which is what can cause the brain fog, drunk feeling. It's basically posioning the person... and when you get rid of it, you can also initially get these same symptoms as the organism is being killed off. The only way to know that it's the die off rather than a symptom itself, is to eliminate all sources of sugar, white flour and simple carbs and start killing it so you'll know you're not feeding it AND replenish your inner ecosystem with the good guys.
The poison is also very hard on the liver and so are the Candida drugs. Go to that website and READ. There's a ton of articles, very informative.

Antiparasitic herbs also kill candida. Two birds with one stone so to speak. Also digestive plant enzymes and coconut oil are good adjuncts for clearing brain fog.
Coconut oil has been touted in the use of alzheimers with some success. You can google it.

glm1111 Since flagyl kills parasites, do you think it also would kill Candida?

No, It can cause candida just like any abx. Google, flagyl for candida.

Anti parasitics, heavy metal chelation and treating babs (which is also a parasite) have all greatly reduced my brain fog (I think it's gone). They also reduced my candida (can eat some fruit now). But like Gael says, treating parasites is an ongoing thing. If I stop, then the eye floaters start to return, which I believe are parasites. More parasites = more yeast, IMO.

Catgirl,
make sure you take plent of cloves which kill the eggs and larva. The reason tx has to be ongoing is that some of these parasites have layed 200,000 eggs a day and if you have a hyperinfection, it has disseminated into all of the tissues and organs.
If just one egg is left over, the cycle will begin all over again. Staying on antiparasitics long term to feel better and have a better quality of life is a small price.

Read gigi's thread on neurotoxins. Detox is when brain fog started clearing away.

Yeast can indeed cause brain fog!!! and other neuro symptoms. People really overlook this one!!

You can start with herbs, but I found that I eventually needed to combine 2 cleanses together such as Parastroy and Hanna Kroeger Wormwood Combo along with extra clove and digestive enzymes, and of course salt/c.
This combo would be too strong to start with, so starting with one cleanse such as Parastroy would be good.
If your doctor is aware of the parasite connection to Lyme, pharma antiparasitics can be done as well. The key is to just start and see how you do.

TuTu is right about yeast causing brain fog. From my personal experience, (I had a bad candida infection after 4 yrs of abx) I attacked both the parasites and yeast simaltaneously with anti candida herbs, antiparasitic herbs, coconut oil and kefir.
The parasites are an underlying infection and keep the candida alive and well because they feed off of it.

Parasites are not the cause --- they are also a symptom of a severely toxic terrain --- heavy metals, hidden dental infections, chemical (pesticides and insecticides).
It is important that these toxins - toxic metals and chemicals and infected teeth in the mouth, or a sick wisdom tooth, or toxic root canal -- are addressed. Then fungi and candida will lose their heavenly oxygenated living quarters, oxygen being dangerous to their livelihoods ---- only then will you be able to get rid of the candida.
Again: only if we start removing/detoxing/chelating the toxic heavy metals etc. from our body will we be able to get well -- without candida and all sorts of other yet hidden microbes.
The parasites are not keeping the candida alive. The candida is keeping us alive because the body in its wisdom grows more and more candida, so that we can survive. But as with everything that is overdone, eventually the toxins that candida spits out, because it needs to stay alive toooo -- causing brain fog, lapses of memory, poor digestion, malabsorption, colitis, leaky gut, etc. and who knows what else - will bury us with more and more problems.
These candida and fungi effects are multiplied a thousandfold because of our exposure - EMF - which makes the sickening effects of all these toxins worse day by day. Viruses multiply like rabbits under EMF. Molds grow even worse.
Candida and fungi will not leave as long as we are toxic from metals. But just as bad as fungi is are the problems we suffer because the parasites in the small intestines gobble up OUR nutrients that should keep us alive. They are not interested in the food garbage as it gets down to the colon.
The average person carries 5 - 10 pounds of parasites. These parasites are holding the toxic metals in their skin, and I am not sure we are even temporarily protected. Our organs � hormone-producing glands, kidneys, liver, lung suffer with that exposure and I wonder how long. I wouldn�t want to take a chance.
The only way we can conquer this chronic disease, Lyme Disease or whatever we want to call it, is by reducing the toxic load and replenishing what our system is lacking and then giving our immune system a new chance to take over to protect us as it is meant to do.
I posted Dr.K.'s lecture about parasites and toxic metals a couple of days ago - verbatum. Look it up. If I can find it, I will post it again.
If anyone had metal fillings in the mouth, even if you took them out of your teeth years ago, if you still are suffering, the mercury is probably still in your various body compartments ( heart, gut, limbs, joints, feet (soles and heels and ankles). The body distributes these toxins all over the body � by the law of osmosis. But we can get rid of it if we make an effort. Killing some candida may bring temporary relief, but we all know that candida can multiply faster than we can think. Candida diets are also only a temporary solution because the body is fighting an ongoing war. The toxins have to be removed.

Fungus grows on the defecation of the parasites, and if allowed to stay will re-invite the candida. So in effect, it only makes sense to get rid of the parasites.
They are symbiotic to each other. Since the parasites carry metal in their coats, it makes sense that we have to get rid of the parasites in order to get rid of a big portion of the metals.
I agree that getting rid of ALL of the toxic loads are important. It takes years of a concerted effort of cleansing, detoxing and rebuilding and healing the inner terrain.

I had yeast issues before I ever started treating lyme. The ticks that bit me gave me parasites which made my yeast issues skyrocket. For me, the parasites and heavy metals live hand in hand in my body.
I tried just attacking parasites and the die off was too much for me (the metal dump). I had to do both at the same time to even chip an inch into the candida problem I've been battling. I'm better, but have more work to do.
I don't know what we'd do without Gigi and Gael. I have learned so much from both of them. Listen to these two gals. They absolutely know what they are talking about, and I am so thankful that they opened my eyes, especially since most of the docs don't have a clue about the parasite metal connection, or even parasites for that matter.

This is really helpful information. I've recently treated a candida overgrowth and can't help but wonder if it's really gone.
I will definitely be bringing these issues up at my upcoming LLMD appointment.
