Breast Yeast Infection

Safe and Natural Treatment for a Breast Yeast Infection

Many women get a breast yeast infection while nursing their baby. This condition can be very painful and there are only a few ways to treat it with the utmost safely.

To even get a breast infection indicates that your good bacterial levels are very low since it is good bacteria that keep yeast under control in the body. The mother also passes along these good bacteria thru her breast milk to the baby and this jumpstarts the baby's immune system. Most of the time the baby develops a yeast infection as well, usually thrush, which is a yeast infection of the mouth.

This yeast infection in the baby sets the child up for many types of fungal and bacterial infections down the road. Because doctors love to prescribe antibiotics for everything under the sun, the baby never establishes its own immune system and usually becomes a chronically ill child. Always sick, and always on some kind of antibiotic.

Most doctors will prescribe Dilfucan to treat a breast yeast infection but Diflucan definitely has its risks for the baby and the mother. Since it is so well absorbed by the body and gets into the blood stream, it is passed on to the baby in the milk. This drug is very hard on the liver, all the azole drugs are. The baby's liver enzymes should be monitored weekly for signs of liver damage if you choose this treatment. Diflucan usually clears up the symptoms for a while and then the yeast returns, mad as hell, and stronger than ever.

I do not generally recommend herbs to treat a breast yeast infection since everything is passed along to the baby in breast milk. The reason for that is, very few herbs are pharmaceutical grade and contain to many impurities that could be toxic. I only know of three companies that make good products in the US and abroad. If I suggest a few herbs people will not necessarily buy what I recommend. Instead they will take a trip down to the health food store and buy whatever brand and take it. I will not be held responsible for any adverse effects your baby may suffer. Of course, you could do the same with what I recommend below but at least it is much safer.

Since this condition is clearly caused by a lack of good bacteria, that is the safest way to treat this. But I don't suggest taking just any probiotic product because most probiotics do not form new colonies in the body. Studies have also indicated that probiotics that have to be refrigerated spoil and grow molds. Molds are the very thing that probiotics are supposed to get rid of, not grow. Cp-1 does not have to be refrigerated but doing so extends the potency and shelf life of the bacteria.

I recommend Custom Probiotics
Custom Probiotics 1 is made up of good bacterial strains that are normally found in the human body to begin with. It contains beneficial strains of live bacteria in very high doses. Independent testing has verified 62 billion in a newly manufactured capsules and its guaranteed to contain 50 billion living bacteria per capsule at the time of expiration, which is 1 year.

Most probiotics are 1 to 6 billion and are worthless for treating any yeast infection.

The dose for CP-1 should be started at one capsule two times a day for a few days with colostrum. Then raise the dose to two capsules two times a day for a few days. After that, follow the directions on the page to establish your optimal dose.

The 11-Strain probiotic powder is also very good for breast yeast infections. It contains the same 5 strains as CP-1 with an additional 6. One adult scoop contains 200 billion bacteria making it a true probiotic powerhouse. You take it the same way as CP-1 starting at 1 scoop a day and work up as needed.

I also suggest you take Symbiotics Colostrum Plus
Symbiotics Colostrum Plus contains 1.2 grams of colostrum and lactoferrin and this is what jump-starts the immune systems of babies and helps the good bacteria to grow. It has been found to be anti-fungal, antiviral, and prevents the growth of bad bacteria and other pathogens in the intestine. It stimulates the immune system by up to 400% and controls cell and tissue damage. It also regulates iron binding and helps heal leaky gut syndrome, which reduces and alleviates allergies. I would take 2 or 3 tablets 3 x a day with the CP-1 or the 11-Strain probiotic.

Candida Yeast Manangement is an enzyme product that should also be used to kill the yeast. It attacks and eats the outer cell wall of the yeast, which of course kills it. It is completely safe with no toxicities to worry about. You should take it as directed.

Syntol for breast yeast infection is another enzyme product that also contains good bacteria. The main bacteria has been found to kill almost all pathogenic microforms in the human intestine while being completely safe. One of the enzymes does enter the blood stream and kills yeasts no matter where it is found. This product is far superior to Candida Yeast Management or Candex. I would start at 1 capsule 2 x a day 1 hour before breakfast and at bedtime. Work up from those doses as needed.

Coconut oil should be used in your cooking and I would take 1 tbls by mouth 2 x a day as well. Coconut oil has been found to explode the nucleus of the candida yeast cell killing it from the inside out. It also is totally non-toxic and safe for your baby in every regard.

CP-1 will begin to clean you out intestinally while it raises good bacterial levels. Your stomach might feel a little uncomfortable for a few days but it will pass. It will then be transported to the breast where it will help kill the yeast.

Symbiotics Colostrum Plus will create a cascading effect upon the immune system throughout your body and raise immune function by 400%. This increased activity of the neutrophils and macrophages will help rid you of the yeast in your breast and where ever else the yeast may reside.

Syntol or Candida Yeast Manangement and coconut oil will provide a one two punch to kill the yeast cells from the inside out while helping prevent your baby from getting thrush.

I would also avoid the blatant sugars in your diet. You need carbs while breast-feeding, but it is much better to get them from fruits and vegetables than processed grain junk foods and sugar.

You could also combine the two probiotics for breast yeast infection like Reba did.

So the 300 billon of probiotic worked. I did that and the doc also found some that a lab made in our town and he told me to try that too, I did. So I think a combo of the two probiotics, both inside and out worked well. Thank you for your suggestion. I will be passing things on to my friends who are new mothers. Thanks a bunch. If I have any other problems I will keep in contact.
