THIS IS A HANDY PAGE TO HAVE ON HAND AND GIVE TO YOUR FEMALE/MALE CHILDREN TO USE WHEN THEY NEED IT. NOT ALL OF US HAVE MONEY TO GO TO THE DOCTORS AND MONEY FOR EXPENSIVE MEDICATION. IF NONE OF THESE SUGGESTION WORK THEN BY ALL MEAN GO.Let me say this post is worth printing and giving to daughter i.e.. Next let me say the best remedy is this 1 teaspoon baking soda in a glass of water will remove the urge to go all the time which comes with yeast infections.
The number one remedy is changing the diet that’s feeding the yeast or any other parasites. See the “mild food (plant base diet)” page for a plant base diet. Stay off anti biotics , and be more careful in your hygiene. Chicken is full of resistants' antibiotic's and can harm your health.
Men can pass yeast to women and women to men. Yes, men have yeast. It settles in their prostates. When one partner has yeast be sure your wise enough to treat the other mate. Hormones are a big factor in yeast growth, weather taking hormone pills or taking insulin that is a growth hormone. You may have to take a parasite herb continually if you are on these two products. (Aloe Vera, yogurt tables (probiotic’s, therapy, i.e.) this infection affects the young, old and pregnant women because of the hormone factors. The seniors it affects mostly because of the build up of drugs and bad eating habits over the years. Even poor dental health can be a factor. See: “Parasite” page for more ways to treat yeast continually. The most popular drug that is used, Diflucan, Fluconazol, another generic name for Nystatin, but these drugs don’t keep the yeast away, your diet will work better. No sugar or process food this will only feed the yeast!

A little knowledge simply doesn't work: The probiotic need to be quality and at least 10 different strain, for the lower and upper colon, live bacteria, and about 10 different strains, 15 billions in one serving. Their are 1,000 different strains that live in a normal gut. Buy a delayed release brand. See: Brenda Watson Book PBS (If you eat animal protein you ll nee more probiotic, fiber, ACV.)

Do-it-yourself popular treatments
1. Apples Cider Vinegar with garlic - 1 Tbs. Per qt. water (Vinegar pill are good up the vagina) Baking soda in your water will also work and amazingly well. pH)
Suppositories can be made of organic wax. Use tea tree oil, acidophilus, (yogurt with active cultures) and tampons dipped in the yogurt inserted into vagina for 1 hr. or so (2 a day for two days or overnight.
2. Coconut oil, Jojoba oil, Oregano Oil, deluded of course,(best organic source), Boric acid (oo capsules) use as a suppository every night for week. Potassium sorbate (food preserver), Gentian Violet (our family favorite called it the purple people eater) order it from your pharmacist. It great for baby's thrush. Violet herb also, we called it the purple people eater after the song. You paint it on the babies tongue. And it very purple so doesn’t go any place as it clings to the yeast. Throw baby bottle nipples away and start over or you will re infect.
3. The herb men like is Pau D'Arco (inner bark) in a base of pure vegetable glyerin for treating bacterial and yeast infections and fungi. (Men have yeast! so use the same remedies.)
4. Inhibit bacteria from clinging to the lining walls anywhere. Hydrogen Peroxide 1 t. 30 % h. p. with 1 c. water, douche one a day until symptoms disappear.
5. Tea Tree oil douche 1 tsp. with 1 tsp. isopropyl (rubbing alcohol), which will turn milky. Store in dropper bottle. 10 drops to 1 pt. water. Once a day for a week.

Here are more ideas I mostly found on the web:
" In case you want to escalate to the more powerful fungicides available over the counter in most pharmacies.
Remedies listed below are in no particular order, except that the more common ones are towards the top of the list. These treatments should clear up most candida infections; do feel free to combine 2 or 3 of them if you think you need it.
http://www.brillomag.net/Yogurt is the #1 choice of do-it-yourselfers everywhere, and is so common that even some professional medical types recommend it. Yogurt contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, a bacterium that also happens to be found in healthy vagina's. Acidophilus kills yeast by producing hydrogen peroxide. Most women-using yogurt to treat a yeast infection simply applies it directly to the vulva and gently injects some into the vagina by any means necessary. But how to get in there? Here’s a method suggested by one reader: put the yogurt in plastic tampon applicators and freeze them, and then you've got little yogurt-sickles to use next time you get a yeast infection. She says, "It is really cold, of course, inserting the tampon, but I find it actually soothing compared to the fires of a damn yeast infection."
*Another reader who has access to disposable gloves says she fills the fingers with yogurt and freezes them to make her yogurt -sickles. (Given that freeze-dried acidophilus tablets are available in health food stores, I’m guessing acidophilus can survive being made into a Popsicle.) Other people use syringes (with no needle!) to squirt it up there. However you do it, be sure to use plain, unflavored yogurt with no added sugar, and be double sure that it contains live acidophilus cultures (available in natural foods stores and many supermarkets). Apply once or twice a day until at least a day after your symptoms clear up. Another possibility is to insert acidophilus pills from your local supermarket or health food store (look in the refrigerated section); check and make sure the capsule is made of something soft enough to melt inside you. It appears that you may be able to get some of the same effects by eating a lot of yogurt, the idea being that some of the acidophilus will make it through your digestive system and then crawl from your anus over to where you want them, i.e., in your vagina.
Also, if you are the parent of a young child with a yeast infection and don't want to try suppositories or strong drugs, this may be your best option. Unfortunately, the production of dairy products is a definite downer from the cow's point of view, given today's factory farming methods. If you are a vegan, you may want to think about getting some of the same benefits by using acidophilus pills from a natural foods store. You can easily open up the capsules and powder your vulva with the contents, or you can mix with water and then squirt it inside or dip a tampon in it and use it that way. I bet this delivers far more acidophilus than you would get from applying yogurt. I don't know if this is really such a great solution, though: I don't know where this acidophilus comes from (how vegan is it?), and the capsules used by most companies contain gelatin, which is an animal product. Vegan is coming into popularity thanks to our youth, so ideas and things are changing. More variety in the market now.
12. http://www.gourmetgarlicgardens.com/ericblok.htm “Garlic contains natural ant fungal substances that kill off yeast. It’s my favorite home remedy for yeast infections; I always try it first, and it usually does the trick. Find yourself a fresh clove of garlic and carefully peel all the papery skin off it. Next, make a little tampon thing by wrapping it in gauze or cheesecloth, tying the ends with un-waxed dental floss, and leaving a bit of string dangling so you'll be able to pull it out afterward. Now, believe it or not, insert it into your vagina. Don’t worry about losing it up there, because of course it can't get through your cervix. Leave it in for several hours at a time, like overnight, and be sure to remove it in the morning. For early or mild infections, night time treatments may be enough; try several nights in a row, until one day after the symptoms disappear. If your infection is more severe, put a fresh clove in every morning and every night. (I find the dry gauze painful to insert, and unnecessary. I have found that an unwrapped clove shoved up there will eventually work its way out, and even if it doesn't just fall out it can usually be expelled by bearing down and squeezing like you are trying to take a bowel movement. But don't try this unless you are willing to face the possibility of asking a friend or doctor to retrieve it later!) Most sources say to be careful not to nick the clove as you are peeling it, maybe because the juice stings some people, but I don't know anyone who has had a problem with that. If this makes you nervous, you could also try the garlic capsules that are sold as a dietary supplement in many health food stores, but be sure to get the kind with a soft coating that will dissolve inside you with the heat of you body. Either way, it's fun to try: . The downsides are that it's a fairly moderate treatment and won't work by itself for some really stubborn infections, and that a few people are allergic to garlic and can't go shoving it in their orifices without getting really sick.”
13. Tea tree oil is available in the US at many natural foods stores. A terrifically helpful woman wrote to tell me that in Italy, tea tree oil is widely used for yeast infections. She said that her pharmacist told her to coat the top half of a non-applicator type tampon with a lubricant (such as K.Y. jelly, even olive oil, coconut butter), then apply a few drops of pure tea tree oil and insert. The lubricant keeps the tea tree oil from absorbing into the tampon. She also said that she finds that the tea tree oil can sting if it comes in contact with the vulva, so she uses an applicator tampon, by just lifting off the top part of the applicator to expose the tampon, applying the K.Y. jelly and tea tree oil, and putting the tampon back into the applicator. What a great idea!
Tea tree oil is an effective anti-yeast treatment and can be used straight (see above), but needs to be highly diluted to use as a douche. Make a stock solution by combining 1-teaspoon tea tree oil with 1-teaspoon isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, which should turn milky white. Store in a dropper bottle. Make a douche by adding 10 drops of the stock solution to a pint of water, and use once a day for a week.
14. “Boric acid is a great remedy for a cockroach-ridden apartment, and it turns out to kill yeasty pests, too. Amazing. The idea is load up some size 00 capsules from a pharmacy or natural foods store with boric acid to use as suppositories*; the heat and moisture in your vagina will melt the capsules and release the boric acid. Insert 2 capsules filled with boric acid, about 600 mg total, into your vagina every night for a week. (To be extra sure, continue this treatment twice a week for the next 3 weeks.) This is a pretty strong treatment, and is capable of effectively treating even severe or persistent yeast infections. Some women find that the boric acid causes some superficial burning and discomfort for the first few days, and may cause large amounts of vaginal discharge. Discontinue use if the burning is severe or use petroleum jelly first.
15 “ Potassium sorbate" is a potent fungicide that is widely used in preserving foods, and is often used in brewing beer to stop the growth of the yeast at the correct time. Potassium sorbate is therefore available at places that sell home-brewing supplies, and at some natural foods stores. To use it, make a 3% solution by adding 8 gm (about 1 tablespoon) potassium sorbate to a cup of water. The idea is to dip a cotton tampon in the solution, insert it at bedtime, remove it in the morning, and continue this treatment for a few days until the symptoms are gone. For the life of me, I can't figure out how you'd get a soaking-wet, expanded tampon into a vagina, so I’ve never tried it. Maybe if you used a tampon in one of those horrible plastic applicators you could manage it. Another idea, suggested to me by a doctor friend, is to insert a dry tampon and then squirt a bunch of the solution up afterward, so the tampon will absorb the fluid and hold it in place. Sounds like it should work... ( a chemical supply co. may have some too and stock up there)
15. “ Gentian violet is a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections that pre-dates most modern anti-fungals and antibiotics. It used to be carried in pharmacies; some still have it, usually in the same section as iodine, and some friendly pharmacists will order it for you if you ask. The idea is to swab it all over the vulva and up into the vagina once or twice a day for a few days. Wear black clothes or use thick pads, because the stuff is brilliant purple and stains everything it touches.
16. “Cranberries are often used in treating urinary tract infections, which apparently works because the berries contain substances that inhibit bacteria from clinging to the walls of your urinary tract. It may be more for a preventive medicine for others.
Cranberries also lower the pH of your urine, which may be useful in helping combat yeast infections, since the acidic urine passes over some of your infected parts on its way out. As such, it's a pretty mild remedy, which is great if you think you may be coming down with a yeast infection: for more serious infections, it can be used in combination with other remedies. Because I can't handle the extreme sourness of the unsweetened juice, I often take small handfuls of cranberry pills (available in natural foods stores), or just dried cranberries during the entire course of a yeast infection as a supplement to other home remedies."
16. *Water: Be sure to drink lots of liquids, and use a kidney herb to keep the urine flow going. A good time to eat Mellon and lemons i.e...This is very very important.” The dilution of the poisons is a key here. (Celery Seeds for diuretic)
..............
Douches
Although douching is generally a bad idea when you are healthy, there are many effective home remedies for yeast infections that involve douching. Be careful when douching to keep the bag below your pelvis and to exert only slight pressure, as really strong pressure might drive the solution up through the cervix into the uterus. Also, be careful when inserting and removing the nozzle, as damage to the vaginal walls can lead to more serious yeast or bacterial infections. They now have cute ready made one in your pharmacy that I throw away their solutions and do my own. (Just a thought, in third world countries where they don't have much they are advised by health missionaries to use 1 tsp clorox to quart of water and douch.)
17. Hydrogen peroxide is produced naturally by bacteria in your vagina, and kills yeast. If the bacteria aren't doing enough by themselves, try mixing 1 teaspoon of ordinary 3% hydrogen peroxide from your market or pharmacy with 1 cup of water. Use as a douche once a day until the day your symptoms disappear.
FORMULA; http://www.herbmed.org/Herbaldouche: this one's a little complicated, but apparently worth the trouble. Combine equal parts sage, raspberry or comfrey leaf and mullein (optional), with 1/4 part Goldenseal root. Then make a tea using 4 tablespoons of the herb mixture and a quart of boiling water. Steep for 15-20 minutes, remove the herbs, and let cool to at least body temperature. Then add 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, and if you want to really go all-out, add 1 tablespoon acidophilus powder or ¼ cup yogurt for milder infections, douche every other day until a day after symptoms disappear; for more severe infections, use daily.
17. Acidic douches restore the natural pH of the vagina, which is relatively inhospitable to yeast. Try making a solution with 2 tablespoon of white or cider vinegar, or the juice of half a lemon, or 1-teaspoon vitamin C, per quart of water. Use every day to treat mild infections, or in combinations with other treatments for more severe infections.
Temporary Itch Relief; Besides AZO over the counter herbs: To relieve vulva itching, try making a paste of Slippery Elm powder and a little water, and then apply as needed. Another option is to keep Aloe Vera juice in the fridge, and then soak a cotton pad in it and apply it to your vulva as needed. Slippery Elm or Aloe will only relieve itching, though, and won't kill yeast, so they must be combined with an ant fungal treatment to really stop the problem. Use Aloe Vera tablets or/and yogurt tables every day if you’re prone to yeast infections. Golden Seal Root made into a suave will stop itching. Diabetic heal slowly (skin wounds) because of the decreased collagen. Also note Aloe gel is shown to enhance wound healing in a study experimented on induced skin wounds in diabetic rats enhancing the wound healing.(Science New)
18. Doug Kaufmanns book on yeast is one of the best. Infectious Diabetes and I can’t remember the others. “The Fungus Link” He suggest Olive Leaf Extract 500 mg daily increasing to 2,000 mg., which is 2 grams. I’m just trying to point out it seems to take a lot to eradicate yeast from herbs. And you have to be faithful everyday to taking herbs with lot lots of water with any yeast infection. I like to rotate diffrent parasital herbs too.
Golden rule: DILUTE THE POISON! Really, does a man know about "female" problems? Get real! He reads the yeast information of women than passes it as his with a bill for the office visit and his book. The younger they are the more hilarious they are.
See: http://www.p-73.com/ for Dr. Cass Ingram’s work in this area with Mt. Wild Oregano Oil. I really like some of this man’s work so I will refer his book to get the correct dosage. Although If you just dab a bit of the oil (diluted, or wipe of some on the tip of your finger and put it about the vulva, it works) Many herbs work on the outside especially on or in orifices. (patches, gauze, cotton balls, i.e!!!) but you need to get rid of the yeast inside too for about 7-14 days faithfully)
Homemade Yogurt recipe is 3 tbs. to 1-quart milk. Use 3 tbs. of a good start by using the best culture in a commercial yogurt (Kefir or Mountain-High i.e.) Stir, then pour into a glass container and cover. 1 quart Mason jar or smaller and place the jars in warm water that are continually kept at 110-115 degrees for 3 hours. Keeping the correct temperature will make a difference in taste. H.F.S. have yogurt makers. This recipe may come in handy.

Douches
Although douching is generally a bad idea when you are healthy, there are many effective home remedies for yeast infections that involve douching. Be careful when douching to keep the bag below your pelvis and to exert only slight pressure, as really strong pressure might drive the solution up through the cervix into the uterus. Also, be careful when inserting and removing the nozzle, as damage to the vaginal walls can lead to more serious yeast or bacterial infections. They now have cute ready made one in your pharmacy that I throw away their solutions and do my own. (Just a thought, in third world countries where they don't have much they are advised by health missionaries to use 1 tsp clorox to quart of water and douch.)
17. Hydrogen peroxide is produced naturally by bacteria in your vagina, and kills yeast. If the bacteria aren't doing enough by themselves, try mixing 1 teaspoon of ordinary 3% hydrogen peroxide from your market or pharmacy with 1 cup of water. Use as a douche once a day until the day your symptoms disappear.
FORMULA; http://www.herbmed.org/Herbaldouche: this one's a little complicated, but apparently worth the trouble. Combine equal parts sage, raspberry or comfrey leaf and mullein (optional), with 1/4 part Goldenseal root. Then make a tea using 4 tablespoons of the herb mixture and a quart of boiling water. Steep for 15-20 minutes, remove the herbs, and let cool to at least body temperature. Then add 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, and if you want to really go all-out, add 1 tablespoon acidophilus powder or ¼ cup yogurt for milder infections, douche every other day until a day after symptoms disappear; for more severe infections, use daily.
17. Acidic douches restore the natural pH of the vagina, which is relatively inhospitable to yeast. Try making a solution with 2 tablespoon of white or cider vinegar, or the juice of half a lemon, or 1-teaspoon vitamin C, per quart of water. Use every day to treat mild infections, or in combinations with other treatments for more severe infections.
Temporary Itch Relief; Besides AZO over the counter herbs: To relieve vulva itching, try making a paste of Slippery Elm powder and a little water, and then apply as needed. Another option is to keep Aloe Vera juice in the fridge, and then soak a cotton pad in it and apply it to your vulva as needed. Slippery Elm or Aloe will only relieve itching, though, and won't kill yeast, so they must be combined with an ant fungal treatment to really stop the problem. Use Aloe Vera tablets or/and yogurt tables every day if you’re prone to yeast infections. Golden Seal Root made into a suave will stop itching. Diabetic heal slowly (skin wounds) because of the decreased collagen. Also note Aloe gel is shown to enhance wound healing in a study experimented on induced skin wounds in diabetic rats enhancing the wound healing.(Science New)
18. Doug Kaufmanns book on yeast is one of the best. Infectious Diabetes and I can’t remember the others. “The Fungus Link” He suggest Olive Leaf Extract 500 mg daily increasing to 2,000 mg., which is 2 grams. I’m just trying to point out it seems to take a lot to eradicate yeast from herbs. And you have to be faithful everyday to taking herbs with lot lots of water with any yeast infection. I like to rotate diffrent parasital herbs too.
Golden rule: DILUTE THE POISON! Really, does a man know about "female" problems? Get real! He reads the yeast information of women than passes it as his with a bill for the office visit and his book. The younger they are the more hilarious they are.
See: http://www.p-73.com/ for Dr. Cass Ingram’s work in this area with Mt. Wild Oregano Oil. I really like some of this man’s work so I will refer his book to get the correct dosage. Although If you just dab a bit of the oil (diluted, or wipe of some on the tip of your finger and put it about the vulva, it works) Many herbs work on the outside especially on or in orifices. (patches, gauze, cotton balls, i.e!!!) but you need to get rid of the yeast inside too for about 7-14 days faithfully)
Homemade Yogurt recipe is 3 tbs. to 1-quart milk. Use 3 tbs. of a good start by using the best culture in a commercial yogurt (Kefir or Mountain-High i.e.) Stir, then pour into a glass container and cover. 1 quart Mason jar or smaller and place the jars in warm water that are continually kept at 110-115 degrees for 3 hours. Keeping the correct temperature will make a difference in taste. H.F.S. have yogurt makers. This recipe may come in handy.
They say you'll need 15 billion orgasms, (1 billion to each 10 different strains per serving) to be an effective antibiotics for at least 10 - 15 days. www.SwansonVitamins.com has one, but it's not timed, however the vegetarian's a plus. This is for the other end... Books: See www.BrendaWatson.com for more information if needed. She was on PBS Informational TV. She has one formulated for children.

Rear sex will eventually cause males to eventually to be dysfunctional. The bowel is very toxic to this sensitive area and can cause cancer within the male genitals.
Men who do rear-entry-sex maybe doing more harm; it can lead to impotence, yeast and parasites from leakage in your partners bowel, and give poison toxin, (cancer) to you. I've smelled pooh on men's breath too. God only know what they've done. For health sakes avoid them as life partners.

This is now happening: Univ. Of Ut study. They say to add vitamins to your foods. (Of course this works because the vit. content is dead in GMO foods)
*Men are becoming for infertile (UT News 2013 KSL showed sperm count down 1 percent every yr. the study said it was also due to pollution and of course diet.)
(Diuretic that is most natural and best is Celery Seed. It works better than any medication without a drug for potassium. Don't take at night. (500 mg cap 'Botanic Choice' has this product.) I would not be without it)
