urinary infection-- now it's yeast infection

[Guest guest]

As we were a bit slow to get the act together trying to learn

about the natural ways of curing urinary tract infection- we resorted

to the M.D.'s prescription. Alas! It created a yeast infection on

its heels. We had a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE time getting rid of this

when it first reared its ugly head two or three years ago. Several

M.D. visits later and no satisfaction had us turning to any natural

methods we could find anywhere.

We have now tried garlic insertion for over a week to no avail.

My daughter's symptoms remain. I'm thinking of trying to make

colloidal silver next for her to drink. Is this ok? Should I be

doing a " shotgun approach " with other things as well?

 

I'm a novice at this herb stuff- trying to learn on my own after

repeated failures on several counts by M.D.'s.

Just want to say how much I appreciate the help this list has been

and things I've picked up in learning. Still a bit over my head at

times though, but slowly learning more.

Yes the shot gun approach is the best on this one.

 

Lots of Garlic, Echinacea (got to break from this one once in a while), and other herbs can help dramatically. I'll leave Penny or Sorcy or June or ... to break it down for you. I'd watch the colloidal silver, my research (which is very far from complete) indicates so far that in small quantities it can be beneficial, however I'm concerned about the long term effects and so therefore do not recommend it at this time. I know this answer is very inadequate but I'd need to type for a couple of hours to give you all the background on what I say. In a nut shell, after heavy metals go through your system (doing either good or bad) they then lodge in the fatty tissues of the body where they are held in suspension. My main concern is the long term build up of the silver and the fact that it is NOT natural. Biochemistry is the wave of the future so I do not rule out the possibilities. I would be more inclined to go with a Chelated Silver than a colloidal, but I'm watching that one too.

 

Another main thing to look at is things that you're doing that you shouldn't be doing. Foods your eating you shouldn't be, like white sugar, white flour, soda pops, etc. These are food for Yeast conditions and they really thrive in that environment.

 

I don't mean to confuse you even further, but I hope the above helps somewhat. You need to focus on nutrition here as well as an herbal program.

 

Love,

 

Doc
