Betadine, Hydrogen Peroxide and Gentian Violet

[Guest guest]

Be careful; after anywhere from a few applications (gentian violet)

to years of use (Betadine) I developed a severe reaction to these

products. Now just being exposed to them once causes severe burning,

swelling, redness and cracking of the skin.

I can't get the doctor to call me back about my Sacchromyces

cerevisae yeast infection, so I'm looking at other home remedies.

(S. cerevisae is resistant to azole drugs such as Monistat and

Diflucan.) One I've heard about is potassium sorbate, which is used

in brewing to stop yeast from fermenting the beer. I believe it's

available in a douche form called Orithrush D. If I can't find it at

my local natural foods store, I'll order it off the Net.

On the other hand, maybe I should have learned a lesson from my

reaction to the aforementioned topical remedies I've tried. Since I

believe the yeast is also in my colon, I think I the best treatment

would be an oral drug such as Ancobon, but, of course, I need a

doctor who's willing to prescribe it (or at least call me back to

talk about it).

hi zig,

perhaps you could try " sporonox " (not sure how that's

spelt) as an oral yeast treatment. would it be

worthwhile trying another doctor at your surgery? at

my surgery sometimes the nurse can perscribe certain

drugs so ask them too. keep hassling your doctor.
