If you are looking for a natural doctor in your town, the only way I've found (if they aren't listed in the phone book, which most aren't listed that obviously) is to ask around to areas that would know. Specifically, ask in health food stores, Chiropractor offices (also Acupuncture and other "natural healing" places), etc. I've talked to a number of people that have found doctors that at least have some information/experience with natural options and/or supplements, but not all towns have such doctors, unfortunately.

That being said, I've found that high doses of good Probiotics (30+ billion viable organisms from several strains) tend to help control yeast very well. Also, Caprylic Acid (often from Coconut Oil) and Grapefruit Seed Extract tend to help a lot in conjunction with the Probiotics for controlling yeast and a Candida diet. Good luck and I hope I helped!  (+ info)

oral candidiasis?


I think that I may have discovered part of my health problem, thanks to the posts. I have a constant lump in my throat, a redenned uvula, white debris stuck in my tonsils, and the roof in my mouth is white. I do not suffer from anxiety (though I've been more anxious lately due to the health problems!)...Could I have candidiasis?...thanks in advance and no rude posts please...
I have had my tonsils swabbed for strep and fungal infection. The results for the fungal infection have not come back yet and I haven't been called about the strep test so I probably don't have it.
My tonsils were swabbed? Do my cheeks have to be swabbed too?

Oral Candidiasis?


How is it caught? Can it be spread by kissing, drinking or eating off someone who has it?
----------

Candida albicans is the typical culprit causing oral candidiasis. It is a fungus or a yeast that is present in everyones' mouth. It is a normal inhabitant of our mouth. However candida is an opportunistic infection waiting to happen. Its numbers are usually kept in check by the other normal inhabitants of our mouth, bacteria. However when the bacteria are removed say by taking an antibiotic, it gives the fungus a chance to take over and grow. Or if a persons' immune system is compromised for some reason, then Candida can grow. HIV, Radiation therapy, treatment with corticosteroids, old age, diabetes and pregnancy can all give way to Candida. Oral Candidiasis or Thrush is a massive growth of a yeast fungus that is typically present in low numbers in our mouths.
You know you have candidiasis because your mouth, cheeks and tongue will be covered by a white substance that can be wiped off often leaving little red bleeding spots. People often report a slight burning sensation in their mouths.
Thrush is typically easily treated with an antifungal medication such as Nystatin.
Since Candida is a normal inhabitant of everybodys' mouths Oral candidiasis is not contagious unless the person you are kissing is in some way immunocompromised and open to that opportunistic infection.

What is candidiasis and its treatment. Is there any herbal treatement for this. ?


I was diagonized diabetic at 27 and that is the time I started experiencing itch on my private parts. I am now on insulin and candidiasis is really a problem. Any cure?
----------

Candidiasis is the term used to describe what happens when the yeast that normally populate the gut become pathogenic and reproduce uncontrolled, resulting in an infection that is almost parasitic in nature.

The yeast cell is normally round, and at healthy levels they help to keep things moving along in your digestive system. When disbiosis occurs (an imbalance in the normal gastrointestinal flora, or bacteria and fungi that populate the gut) the yeast cells can grow unchecked and may become pathogenic (or cause disease). When this happens, the yeast cells develop rhizoids (or flagellates, little tail like appendages) that they use to burrow into the intestinal walls in search of food. Get enough of them in there and you may end up with leaky gut syndrome, a condition in which the intestine has become permeable and undigested food particles and waste products from the yeast can make their way into the bloodstream where they are treated as toxins and an immune response is triggered. This can make a person feel very sick.

The diabetic diet should go a long way toward starving the candida, as it feeds on sugar. It is tantamount that you keep your blood sugar levels under control to have any measure of success in battling a yeast infection.

But, that alone isn't a cure. In severe cases, strict adherence to the anticandida diet is required (this includes total avoidance of sugar, both natural and artificial, as well as moldy and yeasty foods such as cheese, all vinegars except ACV, mushrooms, pickles, and alcohol), and may be for several months or even years before a balance is achieved.

A good probiotic is also necessary to help repopulate decreased levels of the healthy bacteria normally present in the gut that keep yeast in check.

In addition, antifungal therapy may be necessary, such as a prescription medication (like diflucan or nystatin powder) or herbal remedy (such as oil of oregano, pao d' arco, or other herb with antiviral properties).

Digestive enzymes can go a long way toward starving yeast because they help to break down food before it reaches the intestine, where the yeast are feeding.

Usually a comprehensive (or multitier) program works the best, and long term therapy is required to acheive a good result. Diet, probiotics, antifungals, and digestive enzymes together should give a good result if the program is adhered to faithfully.

Keep in mind that if you kill off too many yeast cells at once you may experience what is known as a herxheimer response. This happens when too many dead yeast cells and their byproducts are killed to be comfortably filtered by the system. If this occurs, simply let up a bit on the therapy and go at it a bit more gradually.

Is there a non-over the counter drug to cure cutaneous candidiasis?


I have a stubborn case of cutaneous candidiasis (yeast infection), I have been to the dermatologist for it many times have have tried many things. Verdeso was the only thing that worked but it came back after my sample was done. Then he put me on something else that doesn't work at all. I was wondering if there is anything that you could buy non over the counter that anyone has found to treat this. Thank you.
DTD, you are correct... it is a skin infection.

Not yet, there is a couple working their way through the red tape though.  (+ info)

How does oral medication for acne know how to clear up the area?


I have a minor acne problem on my chin and the corner of mouth. I recently went to the dermatologist to find out how to get rid of it. She prescribed oral medication that treats acne. My question is how does the oral medicine know where the acne is and how does it clear it up? I guess I'm just really skeptical about this whole thing. Thanks!
----------

The medicines are antibiotics. They get rid of all the bad bacteria in your body. This will also get rid of acne because acne is caused by bacteria.  (+ info)

What is oral motor planning and how does it affect toddlers speech?


My two year old only has a hand full of words and someone mentioned he could have oral motor planning issues. I'm still waiting to hear back from EI for an evaluation.
Yes, he understands everything and knows exactly what he wants.
----------

My now three year old daughter was saying very few words at two and she was referred to our local Elks program, California-Hawaii Elks Project. They will come to your house and work with your child and evaluate them to see what the problem may be. My daughter has "Developmental apraxia of speech (DAS) " which is where she knows what she wants to say, but has a problem forming her mouth in the correct way to say it. She sees her speech therapist once or twice a week at our house. She loves it and she is improving well.  (+ info)

What are oral rehydration salts and ringer lactate?


I'm doing a presentation on water and waterborne illnesses. Supposedly, Cholera is treated with oral rehydration salts and ringer lactate. Please explain how these methods work and what they are. Any information on them will be appreciated.
----------

You can search about ORESOL (Oral Rehydration Solution) or in easier terms a solution thats made up of 1 liter of water with 8 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of salt. This solution is the most inexpensive solution for rehydration especially in 3rd world countries. Ringer Lactate (Lactated Ringer) is a dextrose solution (IV fluids), I forgot if it's a hypotonic or isotonic solution. But you can search for that.  (+ info)
