This has been mentioned in the past in my articles about natural yeast infection treatment, but along with garlic (which is wonderful for you as a natural antibacterial and antibiotic) one can use organic oil of oregano.
I have a bottle of this stuff in a tincture form (squeeze bottle like baby Tylenol) and it is made by North American Herb and Spice Company.
This was recommended to me by a wonderful woman at my healthfood store.
It is very costly, approx US$30 for 13.
5 ml.
However, the bottle lasts a very long time.
You take a few drops a day and I am a firm believer of its positive outcome.
I have been using this product since October of last year.
It is well worth investigating if you are trying to avoid medical doctors.
Keep in mind however, that try as we might there are some infections we cannot heal on our own and intervention by medical doctors (unfortunately) is necessary.
Although my immune system was weak, I managed to get through the whole winter without cold or flu.
Sure that this was attributed the oil of oregano that was strengthening my system.
My friend has also been trying oil of oregano, but she has to admit that she has not been using it regularly because of its terrible taste.
She has been going to acupuncture for about 5 weeks now, and this seems to be making a big difference.
She thinks most candida sufferers have very low 'chi' or energy.
She imagines that once this is restored, your body will be better equipped to manage the candida.
