CONTROL--

-Avoid refined sugar and lg amts of honey, maple syrup,and fruit juice
-Avoid milk and most dairy if having a serious problem
-avoid yeast and mold containing foods (alcohol,cheese,dried fruits,and peanuts)

-make sure you have adequate intake of carotenes, vit.C, E, zinc, and selenium

DETOX DETOX DETOX

In addition to eating low sugar, carb, and eating as healthy as possible--drinking a ton of water etc.
-take a high potency vitamin and mineral supplement
-exercise!!
-Take lipotropic formulas to support liver function
-a three day fast four times a year-(with lots of liquids)
-lots of fiber to promote eliminination
-PROBIOTICS!! Good refrigerator kind-take at least 1 hr b4 or 2 hrs after ABX!
-take a bath of plenty of hydrogen peroxide and a cup of epsom salts and real hot water--I have a large tub and use two large bottles of Hydrogen peroxide. Soak for at least 15 mins. Great detox bath.
-drink lemon/olive oil drink-in blender, 1 whole lemon, peel too. a couple Tb olive oil and some water. Strain seeds and drink 1/2 cup up to 2x per day.
-Garlic, baby!! Oh yeah! Pills, or my favorite, swallow cloves whole, like a pill. This is the most powerful thing I have found against yeast. Also is a natural antifungal as well as a powerful natural antibiotic. Lowers cholesterol too! Happy garlic breath.
-essential oils--tea tree,pine,patchouli,myrrh,garlic, and lavender are ALL antifungals. Check their individual uses-some cannot be taken by mouth at all, some can be rubbed over affected areas, some cannot. Get good info from a reliable source. These things are very strong.

(one thing I can tell you is that Mark was suffering really bad last night with bad burning in his esophagus. Thought initially it was reflux, but antacids were of no effect. Got some of the essential oils listed above, diluted a bit with a carrier oil [a must] and applied it directly to his chest from the throat down. Within seconds he was relieved and fine with no pain. He was screaming in pain just prior. These things really work.)

Thanks Laurie - I woke up with thrush like symptoms today - I scraped my tongue with a tongue scraper then brushed my teeth and tongue thorougly - rinsed with a non alcholic mouth wash and then let a probiotic pill desolve in my mouth.

I have to get away from the sugar - I ate some over the holidays and now I am paying for it.

Thank you for the information.
I just returned from the Dr Office and raised the issue of Yeast. The Dr office had always recommended probiotics & Glutamine. And on the latest visit Nystatin was suggested.

brazzil--

It was garlic oil, lavender, frankencense, pine and lemon. Any anti fungal/detox oils work well I am told. I swear it was amazing! Do a search and you can find a lot of info on essential oils, how to get very pure ones, and how to use them. For instance, oil of oregano can NEVER be used on the skin, but when inhaled or gargled with for certain conditions, such as strep, it is 10 times stronger than an antibiotic and has antiviral properties as well. No bad side effects either, but you must be careful and know how and when to use them. We are giving him garlic tabs today and extra acidophilis and no sugar. Seems to be doing very well again. **Something I forgot to mention and should have, ---you will have "die off" when you kill a lot of yeast, a lot like a herx, so be prepared.
