Gentian Violet for resistant Oral Thrush - YES!!! re:

[Guest guest]

Thanks for this post of yours, Tammy, &

actually, you beat me to it. Anecdotally, I totally swear by the use of Gentian

Violet, too. When our Jillian was a nursing baby, 23 years ago, repeated

visits to her pediatrician ( & multiple Rxs) were completely ineffective

against her chronic oral thrush.

Turns out it was some kindly lil ole

ladies who volunteered in our church’s baby nursery who recommended

Gentian Violet, over-the-counter in any pharmacy, inexpensive as all get-out.

It was so deeply-darkly purple, it turned

Jillian’s mouth positively black. Which in turn transformed my breast-fed

nipple an interesting shade of lavender (now, THERE’S a classic example

of too much information!). But for Jillian’s med-resistant oral

thrush, it absolutely wiped out the problem.

I did bring our pediatrician into the

loop, $haring with him information a$ to the whopping total co$t of alllllll

the doctor$ svi$it$ to his practice, & allllll the by-then $ignificant co$t$

for allllllll the numerous$ med$ which proved to be $o ineffective… &

then $howed him this teeny tiny bottle of…

…cheap-cheap Gentian Violet.

Regarding Oral Thrush:

My son is now 9 years old, but when he was nursing as an infant he

developed thrush that was resistant to any meds. The only thing that I ever

found that worked and prevented any recurrence was called " Gentian

Violet " . It is a natural remedy that works if you can stand it. It doesn't

taste bad, but must be applied 2-3 times a day and is a very bright purple

color. It will stain your mouth and anything else that comes in contact with

it. You can usually go into a health food store or your local pharmacy and ask

for it by name. I would swear by it to anyone who asks. I hope this helps!

I grew up withs horses sheep & dogs we always used purple med. (gentian violet) on the animals for thrush, fungus ringworm. & cuts....it works great my one granddaughter 3yrs...had yeast infection in both ears and the (ear throat nose Dr ) used violet in her ears.. just dont spill it (it will stain....)
