Thrush

[Guest guest]

Hi Janelle, I wanted to comment on the milk thistle. I have taken it for

about 10 years off and on and it does make a difference for me. However, the

only one that has worked well for me is the brand name Thisylin. I also take

schizandra. The two combined together help me feel better and I think they

help my enzymes. I had gone off of it for awhile and now my enzymes are

creeping up again. I have just restarted my regimen. We'll see what

happens. In the past, it dropped my enzymes into the normal range after 3

months. Of course, the doctor said it had nothing to do with the milk

thistle or the schizandra.

[Guest guest]

Hi Patti,

I am in CA. I buy the Thisylin brand at a health food store locally.

Thisilyn is marketed by Nature's Way. The schizandra I buy is marketed by

Solaray. The botanical on that is schisandra chinensis. You can probably

obtain both products online. Solaray has an address as Solaray, Inc., Park

City, Utah 84068 USA. Also, Solaray relies on Nutraceutical Corp to

process their schizandra. The Nature's Way address for the Thisilyn is

Nature's Way Products, Inc. 10 Mountain springs Parkway Springville, UT

84663 USA.

Hi Patti,

Never let it be said that a problem goes unaddressed by this list! Thanks

everyone for your help and advice on the the thrush topic. I'm eating my yogurt

right now. I found a candida website that recommended using a combination of

flaxseed oil and acidophilus (I assume that's the bacteria you're talking about

here), so with your affirmation that the acid. really works, I think I'll try

that and if that doesn't clear it up, I'll hassle my dr. about Nystatin. What

liver disease do you have? You dr. is OK with you taking the acid.?

Janelle, I'm not sure if it was you or not that was talking about thrush

and you mentioned you dr. did not want you taking any more pills. You

don't have to live with this miserable stuff, it's a yeastlike fungus and

my little girl had it in her mouth, the prescription helped but not

enough so we looked into it a little further and it really can make you

feel miserable in alot of ways, too many to mention here, but everything

from abd. pain to headaches to mood swings muscle and joint pain, you

name it. I don't know what you can take with your health problems but

one suggestion is an essential oil (Primrose, flax seed) they are

important in healing and preventing the fungus from destroying cells.

Also you can buy natural bacteria over the counter at a drug store, it

fights thrush (It's got a weird name, ask your pharmacist) or if you can

eat lots of yogurt. Garlic is very good because it inhibits infection,

but it also thins your blood so anyone with platelet problems like my

hubby can't take it. Vit. B complex, it helps your resistance to

infection. I read that sometimes it's good to take calcium because

people who have thrush are sometimes deficient. It's just a few small

things you might be able to do to help yourself. If you don't feel

comfortable taking it, just load up on the yogurt....I must say though,

those natural bacteria pills are great especially when you are on

antibiotics and you get a yeast infection as a result, I just take them

with my presciption and it's never a problem. Hope these few little

suggestions might help.

Please read my newsletter 5 -

http:www.geocities.com/hotsprings/sauna/6870/page5.html.

Everyone has yeast (bad bacteria) overgrowth. When you get to the point

of thrush or a yeast infection, the good bacteria have " lost the war " .

The quickest way to get rid of it is to do a grapefruit seed extract

cleansing and then take a daily acidophilus supplement (forever :-) )

This is one supplement our body needs daily as the good guys are getting

killed off daily by toxins we eat, breathe, even stress.

You can use grapefruit seed as a topical for the diaper rash and it will

clear it up wonderfully, but if you don't take care of it internally as

well, it will just return in some form or another.

Also, belladonna is a homeopathic remedy commonly used for fevers. To

learn more about homeopathy, you can read my newsletters on it, buy the

book " Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child " - a must have for

alternative health - and seek out a local homeopathic or naturopathic

Dr.

I haven't heard of thrush causing fevers, though. Could he be teething

(maybe molars) as well? If he's increased his nursing then he's getting

the liquids he needs even if he isn't eating much. Don't worry about the

cup thing. All he needs is mamas milk. My son didn't act very sick when

he cut molars, but he did nurse more and eat less.

Also, what that nurse told you about fevers spiking 'because they were

going to anyway " I don't believe. I think they just say that because

they really don't believe the meds suppress the system and wouldn't

possibly think it had anything to do with making it spike higher.

Hope the thrush remedies help you! My son had cradle cap (also from

yeast) until he was 18 months, and as soon as I started him on

acidophilus, it finally went away.

My book suggests a mouthwash of hydrogen peroxide 2x/day.

Hi Liz,

I've had it and I know it isn't pleasant. Stay away from tea and/or

coffee, which tend to make it worse. Avoid sugar and anything with

yeast in it. Make sure you take your probiotic religiously. I also

found it helpful to eat yogurt, particularly a brand with live

cultures. When eating the yogurt, eat it very slowly, letting each

mouthful sit in your mouth as long as you can stand it because I found

that to also be somewhat soothing. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Hugs

Thrush is the result of a very acidic environment in teh body...a condition created by liver disfunction, and HCV, If you will alkalanize your system it will go away. You need a serious alklalnizer, and nothing gets it done quicker, or more safely than Active H-. You should also get on a probiotic, as Thrush is directly related to your digestive system, which is also out of wack from the Virus, and liver disfunction. Colostrum will be very beneficial as well.

Peace, Jeanine

Rinsing your mouth with gentian violet may also help.

Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin is a protein found naturally within bioogical fluids,

such as milk and saliva, at mucosal surfaces and within white blood

cells. Research has shown lactoferrin to have the following

functions:

Antifungal - Lactoferrin kills a range of fungi and yeasts,

including the causative agent of thrush, Candida albicans.

Natural antibiotic - Killing many disease causing bacteria, whilst

protecting the bodys' natural flora.

Antioxidant - The strong binding of iron by lactoferrin,

prevents " free iron " from forming free-radicals. Free radicals have

been implicated for many diseases and cancers.

Antiviral - Research has shown that lactoferrin can prevent viruses,

such as HIV, hepatitis and CMV, from binding to the body's cells and

therefore prevents viral infection.

Antitumour - Lactoferrin and realted peptides have been shown to

supress tumour growth and prevent tumour formation in animal models.

Iron uptake - As lactoferrin binds very tightly to iron, lactoferrin

is thought to allow efficient uptake of iron into the body. This is

thought to beneficial for anaemia.

Immune boosting - Lactoferrin helps to mature a regulate a number of

immune cells throughout the body.

Further lactoferrin information is available from the Metalloprotein

Research group at Kings College London, UK.

Try a course of Nilstat tablets and acidophilus. You will probably have to go to your GP for the tablets but you can get a good acidophilus formula.

Those of us with mouth ulcers should ask our doctors about thrush, which is a common problem for those taking Imuran and similar immunosuppressants. If it affects the esophagus, thrush can cause pain on swallowing and the sense that food is "stuck." If you have thrush, beginning treatment promptly is important.

My tongue ulcers have been around long before the steroids. I don't

seem to have thrush, though, but migratory glossitis, sometimes

called geographic tongue. It is benign, but is thought to be

autoimmune. I never thought much of it before my AIH diagnosis, but

in hindsight I think they started around the same time. It seems to

get worse when I am stressed.

Marty,

I get Thrush often from the predisone and immuran,

my doctor prescribed a medication called nystatin, it

is cherry flavored, you are supposed to swish is

around in your mouth and swallow, it is rather nasty

tasting but it does get rid of the thrush. Thrush

needs to be treated aggressively because it can cause

problems in your throat as well. I feel for you, we

take our pills to get better, than we take more meds

to take away the problems from the meds!! I hope this

helps. We have a sweet dog, " Bobbi. " She is a border

collie and she in the last two weeks has been

diagnosed with diabetes, she went blind, I am now

giving her an insulin shot daily, she is only eight, I

am really sad for her, because I can't explain to her

what is wrong. I think she is beginning to feel a

little better though. We had a couple different kind

of terriers, one a schnauzer, the other a yorkshire,

we loved them both, they were our babies when we were

first married and had our son and daughter later. I

think I know what kind of terrier yours is, do they

have kind of wiry hair?

Love,

Ruth

Marty,

I had thrush with the chemo. It does happen when your immune system can't fight off some fungus. I had some stuff they called "magic mouthwash" (I think it is a cancer thing). After transplant I also had to take nystatin to prevent thrush. If I recall it is an oral 'swish' of nystatin, lydocaine, an antibiotic and something else.

Thrush was nasty, I couldn't eat anything, even water through a straw. Steriods can cause it too. I would definitely keep on the Dr. I also agree with Harper early treatment is important because it can get out of control. When it was a bit better I found sucking on frozen fruit bars to be good. I like Dole.

Funny, at first I wanted Popsicles without the fruit juice as I didn't want the acid, it burned. Trying to explain to my husband how to buy the plain, cheap frozen colored flavored water. It was a riot, he just didn't get it. So we tried a couple of times then got it right. Life is entertaining.

Right, Debby. I know that it can be transmitted vaginally, and I'm guessing

the same would hold true from mouth to mouth. Next question is, did I get

the thrush because I've been sick with this cold/virus, or is it from the

meds, or what? Can we expect to keep getting it as long as we're on the

meds?

nne, I don't know about thrush, but I know when Mom used to have yeast

infections, Dad had to be treated as well, because...well....they kept

passing it back and forth....so until they were BOTH treated, both had it.

I never gave it to my husband. To be honest vomiting from Chemo we weren't

too kissy but a person with a normal immune system should be OK. I'm glad

you got the good stuff.

How timely that there have been several posts on thrush in past few days.

I went to my primary doc today because I haven't been able to shake my

cold/sinus stuff that everyone seems to have. After she checked me out, she

also told me I had thrush, which I kind of suspected. She said it was most

probably from the Imuran, but I also know that just having a suppressed

immune system makes you vulnerable for it as well. Anyway, she gave me a

prescription for " Magic Mouthwash " which has to be made up by the

pharmacist. I know that thrush is basically a yeast infection, and wonder
