okay ladies, can the chatter and listen up.

first, a few words about this homepage. i want to point out right away that if you are offended by blunt, uncensored talk; have no sense of humor about female problems; or are looking only for corporate-sponsored, FDA-approved information about yeast infections; you've come to the wrong place. please go directly to the Monistat homepage. do not pass go, do not collect $200. you really don't want to read any further.

for the rest of us, i mean, YEAST. yeah, vaginal yeast infections are nasty and annoying, but for most wimmin most of the time, they aren't debilitating or life-threatening. so what's the big deal? well, to my mind, the conventional treatment of vaginal yeast infections is a nutshell of what's wrong with the way our society deals with wimmin's health issues. most of us treat a yeast infection by running to the drugstore, handing $20 to our corporate masters, and walking around miserable for days with disgusting slime dribbling down between our legs, not even sure if what we have is really a yeast infection. simple information on prevention and alternative treatments is ridiculously hard to find, in part because there's little profit in it and in part because men don't suffer from vaginal yeast infections. i'm hoping to help fill that gap, and to make a small contribution to the larger goal of helping wimmin take control of our bodies.
