I suggested to Daniel that he stay the course and don't rotate herbs right now since he has the yeast on the run. Everyone is a little different and some things work better than others for the individual. Besides, the Threelac and Candex will keep the yeast severely weakened since it does not have the ability to defend itself or adapt to either one. This leaves it wide open for the Candidate to work its magic.

I did suggest as the symptoms subside to raise the dose of the Bio-K Plus up into the 200 billion range. I do think he would be better off with the CP-1 because it is heat stable and will not grow molds in the body. But hey, whatever works for Daniel!

No Particular Order:

Malic acid, which is derived from apple cider vinegar, has strong anti-fungal abilities. You can simply add a teaspoon of Bragg’s apple cider vinegar to your carrot juice twice daily if it is more convenient for you.

Undeceylenate acid is a good herbal yeast infection remedy and anti-fungal agent that is much stronger than caprylic acid. It is very gentle and completely non-toxic. It is part of the CandidaClear product found farther down this page if you are interested.

Peppermint, thyme, and goldenseal are herbal yeast infection remedies with peppermint tea being very soothing to the lining of the intestines.

Caprylic acid is a fatty acid derived from coconut oil & has been found to kill on contact yeast and other fungi. It specifically is effective for gastrointestinal candida overgrowth. Once absorbed, caprylic acid is no longer an anti-fungal but is then metabolized to produce energy. I have to add that your much better off to take the oil with the lauric acids present than just this alone. The lauric acid is stronger and the two together destroy the nucleus of the candida yeast cell.

Kyolic Formula 100 Aged Garlic Extract is one of the most well published anti-fungal herbal yeast infection remedies in the world. Allicin, which is a phyto-enzyme in garlic, has the most well documented anti-microbial properties that are not just limited to the eradication of fungi. Viruses and bacteria are also neutralized by garlic.

Symbiotics Immune Formula with Colostrum Plus is a known yeast killer and is very beneficial for immune system support. It contains all the immunoglobulin antibodies that a person needs for support. Especially IgA, which protects the mucous linings of the body, the place yeast likes to attach. It is also very beneficial for leaky gut syndrome. Symbiotics Immune Formula with Colostrum Plus also contains arabinogalactan, olive leaf extract, Beta 1-3 glucan extract, and lactoferrin. All are know immune system boosters with much research behind them proving this fact. It is also enteric coated to get by the stomach acids intact. This is the best colostrum product I have been able to find in years.

Pure Lactoferrin is is the active ingredient in colostrum and is indispensible for treating candida and yeast infections. I recommend this with Candex and CP-1 for vaginal yeast infections. Pregnant women should not take Lactoferrin because the stimulation of the immune system could cause the body to attack the fetus. It is extremely potent!

A 1998 study published in The Journal of Microbiology, implicated raw carrots as a good fungus fighter because it seems to inhibit fungus proliferation. The absolute best way to use carrots for herbal yeast infection remedies is to juice them. Juicing provides your body with instant nutrition to the blood stream as well as giving your body a break from the strain of digesting whole foods.

Gentian Violet is so safe many women that have nipple yeast use it while nursing. It does have a habit of turning clothes purple, but spraying your clothes before washing with Zout or hair spray has been reported to take it out.

Cinnamon oil is a little known herbal yeast infection remedy that has been found to be deadly to fungus. The active ingredients are cinnamaldehyde, cinnamon oil vapors and eugenol. Preliminary human evidence confirms this effect in a clinical trial with AIDS patients suffering from oral candida (thrush) infections that improved with topical application of cinnamon oil. Antibacterial actions have also been demonstrated for cinnamon oil concentrates. The diterpenes in the volatile oil have shown anti-allergic activity as well. In addition, water extracts may help reduce ulcers.

Tea Tree Oil can be used on the skin also but the area must not be open because tea tree oil is poisonous. Dilute 50/50 with water before using.

Oregano oil can also be used on the skin but should be diluted so it does not burn. I have seen this clear up late stage skin yeast that had macrophaged and became hardened when used straight.

Syntol is by far the best enzyme for candida yeast infections. It not only contains the same yeast digesting enzymes as Candex and Candida Yeast Management but also an enzyme that works systemically. This enzyme gets into the blood stream and goes on a search and destroy mission while also reducing inflammation, clearing arterial plaque deposits, and reducing pain.

Syntol contains sporulated bacteria as well. Sporulated bacteria are proven to survive the stomach acids intact so they get into the intestine alive where they are needed. One of these bacteria was discovered and has been in use since the early 1940's. It is so powerful it was found to kill almost all harmful pathogens but be completely safe. Syntol is a powerful yeast killer.

Candex is not an herbal remedy for yeast infection but is an enzyme formula that eats the cell wall of the candida making it very effective for yeast infections. It produces no die-off reaction and works in as little as three days to a month. What's most important about Candex is the fact that it eats thru the outside cell wall of the candida. This allows the herbs to kill the nucleus so it cannot reproduce and spread. It is extremely effective when take with the top four remedies above, especially the Candidate.

NSI Candida Yeast Management is an enzyme formula that is almost identical to Candex only it is quite a bit cheaper. Candex is up to $44.99 for 120 capsules, NSI Candida Yeast Management is $29.77 for 240 capsules. Early reports suggest it works just as well Candex.

Complete Probiotics is a very strong well rounded probiotic that many people say is the only one that works for them. It contains 10 species at a dose of 66 billion bacteria and does not have to be refrigerated so it will not grow molds in the body. High doses are also just what you need when treating yourself for yeast infections.

Culturelle®, Lactobacillus GG is one of the better probiotics that contains a patented strain of bacteria called Lactobacillus GG, a species that is normally found in the human body to start with. Numerous clinical studies have been done around the world on the benefits of this bacteria, most notably, it has the notable ability to survive antibiotic attack. This is big news for women that suffer from antibiotic caused yeast infections, or are going to be taking antibiotics at one time or another. An once of prevention would most certainly be worth a pound of cure. Each capsule contains 30 billion live bacteria. It does not have to be refrigerated proving it will not grow molds in the body. It has also been proven to get by the stomach acids intact.

Custom Probiotics or CP-1 is one of the strongest probiotic in the market place, 1 capsule contains 78 billion live bacteria with a guaranteed 50 billion after 1 year of storage at room temperature. The formula contains 3 species of bifidobacterium and two acidophilus in about a 50/50 mix. Most users report that this is the only probiotic that helps them with their yeast infection.

Thrush caused by candida albicans can be treated using VRP Culturelle®, CP-1 or Complete Probiotics dissolved in water. Fifteen minutes before breakfast, dissolve 1 dose of any of this bacteria in 4 ounces of water, rinse thoroughly in mouth and then swallow. This may also be used by children with thrush. Swab mouth two times daily with above mixture. You can also use for yeast diaper rash. Rub mixture on affected parts and allow to dry. Use after every diaper change. Improvement should be seen within a few days, continue program until all evidence of the coating is gone.

All these probiotics can be used as a douche or suppository for vaginal yeast infections, used as a colonic implant, for soaking athlete's foot, toenail fungus, or sprayed on certain skin rashes like diaper rash. Total Immune Booster is not recommended for douching since it contains the other immune enhancing herbs that do more good in the intestine.

All probiotic products will not establish new bacterial colonies because of the way they are manufactured or because of the species. Most have to be refrigerated since they spoil and grow molds, guess what? Molds kill bacteria! If you find one that does form new colonies please let me know about it so I can share the information on this website.

Zetaclear is an herbal yeast infection remedy for toenail fungus that works very well and is has a risk free 30-day guarantee.

Nail-RX™ is another nail fungus product that has been manufactured to GMP standards. The ingredients are also used in homeopathic formulas to support nail health. It has a 1 Year Guarantee if your not delighted with the results.

Vagi-Soothe™ is used to relieve the burning and itching of vaginal yeast infections. It is manufactured in an FDA and GMP registered pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of qualified homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. All ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). It also has a 1 Year Guarantee if your not delighted.

Yeast Away is a suppository product for vaginal yeast infections. It contains borax and other homeopathic medicines that are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. It would bring quick relief for the burning and itching when used.

CandidaClear is a very good product made from pharmaceutical grade ingredients to USP and GMP standards. It is by far the best all-in-one herbal yeast infection remedy I have been able to find.

There are other all-in-one formulas out there on the market and here are a few more you may want to check out.

Although these herbal yeast infection remedies will work very effectively. For your long-term health and to prevent reoccurrence, you will need to still restore your stomach bacteria to a healthy level and rebuild your immune system.

Many many times, the person that suffers chronic yeast infections or from candida has high mercury, iron, or other metal levels. If you fall into this category and do not treat yourself for this issue, your chances of getting rid of this are very slim. The only way to know where you stand is to get tested. You can have your doctor do it or you can do it yourself. If you test high you must then treat yourself for mercury, iron, or metal poisoning. Yeast is an immune system reaction to mercury poisoning. It absorbs its own weight in mercury so it cannot get into the body and poison you.

The best product I know of for removing metals from the body without the nasty side effects is Cellular Zeolite found on the Mercury page.

As you can see there are lot of herbal yeast infection remedies to choose from and some are better than others. Mycologists have found that the candida fungus will mutate and build resistance like any common bacteria if you take only one or two of these yeast infection remedies. The treatment requires that you rotate a selection of products in a proven treatment system so the fungus does not have time to adapt and build a resistance to these herbal remedies. It is very effective and the whole treatment lasts 12 to 24 weeks depending on the severity of the infection.

Always remember to buy and use high quality herbal yeast infection remedies that are proven to have the herb listed in sufficient quantities. This is one time in your life when this difference can truly make the difference, between getting well and not getting well. This does make a difference with all herbs for any illness or health challenge, always place quality before quantity.
