Womens Yeast Infection - Lifestyle Changes

Womens Yeast Infection

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could take a pill to erase the laundry list of problems we have discussed in this blog? But I don't need to tell you there are no magic pills.

You can begin to overcome some of your symptoms when you change your diet, get rid of chemical pollutants in your home and start on antifungal medications.

There are also many other things you'll need to do. You'll need to take charge of your health and say to yourself, "If it's going to be, it's up to me."

Natural Candida Cures - Tanalbit

Natural Candida Cures

TANALBIT 

Several health professionals I've consulted rank Tanalbit high on the list of nonprescription substances they use in treating their patients.

When taken orally, this product is said to effectively destroy harmful bacteria and fungi in the digestive system without attacking friendly organisms. It also travels to the colon relatively intact to help address problems there. It seems to act as a sort of internal antiseptic. In addition to natural tannins, this product contains zinc.

Natural Candida Cures

Tanalbit contains tannates that bind to the surface of the fungal membranes, causing the fungus to lose its ability to stick to intestinal walls, reproduce, and then it eventually kills the fungus. Tanalbit also contains chitin, which has been shown to stop candida colonization.

KOLOREX
 
Some say this natural product from New Zealand is as effective as nystatin. It's made from anise seed and a leaf called horopito (Pseudowintera colorata), a relative of the cayenne pepper, that work together to restore microbial balance in the gastrointestinal tract.

Yeast On Skin Cure - Excellent Prescription Antifungals

Yeast On Skin Cure

Nystatin (Mycostatin)

Nystatin predates the azoles as an extremely effective antifungal. Available in the United States since 1951, nystatin continues to be an effective and safe antifungal medication. However, a number of physicians and pharmacists are concerned about the tremendous increase in its price during the past two years.

Nystatin works in a unique way to help reestablish the strength of the intestinal walls, eliminating leaky gut syndrome.

The beauties of nystatin are many: It is virtually side-effect free, with the exception of occasional minor gastrointestinal upsets, and the price is by far the cheapest of the prescription antifungals, at about 60 cents for a 500,000 IU pill. Most physicians prescribe one or two capsules daily. Patients also rarely report a die-off reaction, and many say it is the only antifungal most patients need, while some others contend it is less effective than the azoles. Other physicians will start patients on the azoles and then switch them to nystatin after two or three weeks.

Sporanox (Itraconazole)
 
Sporanox is a "cousin" of Diflucan, approved by the FDA for use against thrush (candida infections in the mouth and throat).

Available in the United States since 1993, Sporanox is highly successful in eliminating the symptoms of thrush within seven to 14 days and has been clinically proven effective in some patients who are resistant to Diflucan, usually at a level of about 100 mg. once daily. Higher dosages (about 200 mg. a day) are usually prescribed for patients with persistent vaginal yeast infections.

Charles Resseger, D.O., of Norwalk, Ohio, told me he finds that Diflucan and Sporanox work synergistically and are often very effective in patients who don't respond to Diflucan alone.

Other physicians have told me they prefer Sporanox for yeast-related skin conditions, and some say it is especially effective for patients with chemical sensitivity.

Cures For Yeast Infections - Prescription Antifungal Medications

Cures For Yeast Infections

Throughout this blog, you've read over and over about the prescription antifungal medications and how they are to your program to overcome yeast-related problems.

The systemic azole drugs are the gold standard of treatment for fungal problems, and especially for the treatment of Candida albicans overgrowth. They are: 

• Diflucan (fluconazole) 
• Nizoral (ketoconazole) 
• Sporanox (itraconazole)

In addition, nystatin has proven its worth as an antifungal for 50 years and so has another lesser-known azole, miconazole. Miconazole is the active ingredient in Monistat, the cream used to treat vaginal yeast infections. Miconazole is also helpful when taken internally in capsule form, but it's not available in the United States in the form needed for systemic treatment.
