Yeast infection

[Guest guest]

Hi BarbaraAnn,

I realize you didn't post to me, but I wanted to respond to your question

since I have had the experience with thrush and yeast infections. Nystatin

will kill yeast (candida) candida throughout the digestive tract. It takes a

little longer to clear the intestinal tract but it kills it there as well as

in the mouth, throat, esophagus etc.

There are systemic medications, such as ketoconazole (Nizoril) and Diflucan

which kill fungal organisms throughout the body, in the body tissues. They

work like an antibiotic does when it kills bacteria throughout the body.

Hope this helps with what you were asking about.

Hi Janelle

Nystatin comes in various forms. One manufacturer makes a pill. Another

makes a " syrup " . Another sells the straight form of nystatin which is a

bitter powder. Let me clarify how nystatin works. It kills candida

organisms when it comes in contact with them. For example, if you are using

a nystatin syrup and take it in the mouth, swish it around and swallow it,

the nystatin will kill candida in the mouth, throat, esophagus and continue

through to the intestinal tract. If you take the nystatin pills, they will

kill candida only in the intestinal tract because that is where the pill is

broken down. The pill does not come in contact with candida in the mouth,

throat or esophagus so it can't kill anything there. The pure Nystatin

powder is really the best way to go. It can be added to water a swished

around and swallowed. You can also put it in a plain water enema. This

really helps if you have a bad case of intestinal candida. Keep in mind that

candida is a normal body inhabitant. When it gets overgrown, just like

bacteria, it will cause problems.

Could you clarify what your doctor is telling you? Thanks.

[Guest guest]

Oh boy. Maybe it's the brain fog, and maybe it's because it's 4am and I

can't sleep, but now I'm good and confused. Just to make sure we're talking

about the same thing, Nystatin=mouthwash, right? So was my dr. just full of

hooey when he said it doesn't work? Maybe you can clear up the does thrush

develop from candida in the intestine question too. Thanks .

Hi Janelle

When I first had the thrush symptoms my tongue would have the white stuff on

it and my tongue was sore. The Dr, prescribed the troches that you suck on.

They didn't taste too bad. But it didn't clear it up. Then I got the

Diflucan and after just one tsblet I felt the difference. My tongue hurt so

badly that it hurt to talk before the Diflucan. I took one tablet for ten

days and that was that. No more thrush. I also had a friend who had the

Nystatin liquid but it seemed like she always had to take it. So who knows?

But I thank God for Diflucan!!!

Hi Dianne,

The reason the Diflucan works quicker and more effectively is that it is

metabolized systemically. It is also much more potent. It is like taking a

broad spectrum antiobiotic, except that Diflucan is an anti-fungal. Nystatin

is a milder medication and the troches and the liquid suspension both contain

sugar which feeds the yeast. Nystatin can take a really long time to kill

off enough yeast for a person to feel better. And, since it only kills what

it contacts, it is not a systemic, you only kill what is in the digestive

tract.

Are you on the birth control pill? Have you taken antibiotics? These

things can cause an imbalance which, unfortunately, encourages yeast

overgrowth... and once it begins it is difficult to remedy.

If I could do it all over, I would start at your age.... when it all began

for me. You can take supplements to help rid the candida if you have

candida overgrowth and follow the candida cleanse diet. You will feel

healthier.

Gladly: boric acid.

You can get it as a bottle of powder, at the drugstore--- someplace

like " Longs " or " Payless " . It is in the section with bandaids. It

is used externally for cuts I guess? The bottle says on it not

to use it internally. I then put the powder in capsules.

(e.g. empty capsules from the HFS.)

For mild yeast, I might use 1 capsule (inserted in vagina,

NOT TAKEN ORALLY) once or twice a day. The most I've ever

used is probably 2 capsules 3 times a day.

I have been using this for yeast (or really any vaginal itch)

for years and have recommended it to a few people -- with

excellent results. This should make a NOTICABLE difference

in a day or two. If you use it right away you may never

have a full blown yeast infection again

[at least if you don't use ozone LOL!]

Good points: it is VERY cheap, it is easy, it is effective.

$3 worth will last for years!

Bad points: it probably does not help SYSTEMICALLY with yeast

(although I don't really know). It might seem a little iffy

because it says not to use it internally. (I've discussed

this issue with people including an MD and other professionals

and have found no cause for concern, but I do suggest you

look into that if you want to.)

When I started using this (prior to " the web " ) I think it

was listed in Our Bodies Our Selves? Now you can do a

web search on " boric acid yeast " (or something like that)

and find websites that talk about it. But not zillions---

I think it is still fairly obscure.

I have heard that garlic (inserted) also works well, and

I personally have used garlic--- but I'm not sure how the

results compare. (Put a piece of cord or dental floss

through the garlic to make it easier to remove.)

good wishes,

Moria

In the past a women's health practitioner suggested for vaginal yeast:

~use baking soda or boric acid for warm vaginal soaks

~fill a #10 capsule with boric acid powder/1 in vagina at bedtime

I have also used, under the advice of a naturopath, @ 1 tsp. povidone iodine

in 1 quart water as a vaginal douche. works well.

~my current lyme knowledgeable allergy doctor says that the boric acid and

iodine are too drying. he suggests using 1 tsp. (I think it was; I can

check) of hydrogen peroxide in a quart of water for vaginal douche. he says

repeat in *two weeks.*

Good luck,

Hi " ronikrugs "

If you have a vaginal yeast infection, then yes it is

spreading through your body. You have to deal with the

gut if you want to clear your infection.

Here are some suggestions:-

Remove all sugars from your diet, plus anything made

with white flour e.g. pasta cookies bread crackers

etc. Fruit will also feed Candida.

Take anti-fungals on a rotational basis Aloe Vera,

garlic, pau dar co tincture, caprillic acid, virgin

coconut oil, grapefruit seed extract and black walnut

tincture. I'm not saying you have to buy all these,

but they will fight Candida.

Take L-Glutamine at bed time, this will heal the

digestive track. When Candida morphs from a yeast to a

fungus it burrows through the wall of the intestines,

allowing undigested food into the blood stream. Hence

the term Leaky Gut.

Find a good probiotic, that will re-establish the gut.

Alkali your system, by eating foods that are not acid

forming (I will attach a list).A sound diet should

contain four times as much alkali forming foods as

acid forming ones. In times of stress its best to eat

only alkali. The best approach on the digestion is to

separate proteins and carbs. and remember when you

have an overgrowth of Candida, your whole system has

become acid and your digestion is not working

properly.

Drink lots of warm water, with a twist of lemon (lemon

juice is a natural antiseptic) to

flush out the toxins. When Candida dies it will give

off at least 70 different toxins.

Body brush every morning, this will get the lymphatic

system running, it will help eliminate toxins. Start

at your feet and brush upwards towards the heart. On

the stomach brush in a circular clockwise direction.

Try body cleansing, the colon the kidneys and the

liver, again you will find all the information for the

cleanses on the curezone site.

Hope this helps

[Guest guest]

You are asking the same question that has been answered here many times.

Take a look through the archives. My point would be that treating symptoms

will get you nowhere in the long run. It may possibly give you a temporary

relief. Consider lifestyle changes, especially cleansing your digestive

system, changing your eating habits, and adding supplementation to speed up

your recovery.

You can read articles in the Amino Acids section of the Life Enthusiast

website for some insight, too.

In some cases, you need to control with diet and it can be done. You have to

make a lot of changes to the things you eat.

Hi

Most treatments for yeast infection are a temporary easing of the

problem. I tried many creams, douches etc. over the years but the

problem never went away.

This diet is really the only way for true healing to get rid of the

problem permanently.

I hope this helps.

You could make a " garlic tampon " and leave it in for 24 hours but as someone

said in another post, the diet really is the only way to get rid of them

I know that the remedies are only temporary and following the diet will help to

get rid of it permanently. Just need relief.

I have had severe reaction to garlic so I will not use it. I just wanted to know

if douching must also be done while using the suppositories. I read the Women

Health section.

I usually have a mild infection but it has flared up.

Try coconut oil for some relief on the outside skin after you have

used a douche.

==>Any treatments can help with symptoms but they do not cure them

since yeast/candida cannot just be killed off to get rid of it. The

only way to cure any yeast infection no matter where it is located in

the body is by building up the immune system so it becomes strong

enough to " make " yeast/candida change back into the friendly organism

it is supposed to be in the body.

I do not recommend using apple cider vinegar - see " C) Women's Health

Issues " Folder and look for the article " Vaginal Yeast Treatments " .

I read those already and I used the probiotic and coconut oil suppositories. The

symptoms have eased up. Does sexual intercourse with latex condoms cause vaginal

yeast to flare up? My yeast seems to flare up when i do have sexual intercourse.

==>Yes latex can be very irritating to the vagina because it is toxic,

so it could require the body heal the area every time, which would

cause more die-off and healing symptoms.
