Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 That's a good question. I have not been to a doctor to test for candida. However, I had been having frequent yeast infections, was tired all the time, and had this pain near my pelvic bone that would not go away. After that I started researching information on candida and figured I must have it. When I eat a lot of sugar and sometimes dairy I get a yeast infection so I figured that these were symptoms of candiasis. --- De Bruins <salvation@...> wrote: > Hello All > > I just wanted to clarify something.

She is great! I moved recently and can't find anyone like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 -Bindi, my friend who is the patient that the famous candida dr wrote about in his book emailed me with this recipe she swears works every time, make a douche out of sage, rosemary and thyme (boil a cup of water and strain into), and use several times a day. This woman knows everything there is to know about this so I am going to try it.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 This sounds good. I don't think I have an issue but I would like to try it to be preventative. Do you know if they sell disposable douche bottles or do you think I should buy a regular one and empty it out? Thanks for the advice!!

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Nan, Thanks for the recipe! I have all those herbs in the garden, so I'm set. The doctor wanted to give me a heavy duty drug to knock it out, but I'd rather try alternatives first. Bindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Bindi, Another easy and natural therapy is to use a tea tree oil douche. You make a one percent solution. I think it works out to 1 tsp of tea tree oil to 2 cups of water. It works fast, it is effective, and you feel really, really clean down there!
