Thrush Natural Remedies: What's Safe and What's Not

In this age of the internet, it's so cool that you can find all kinds of health information just with the click of a button. No doubt the internet has helped interest in natural and alternative health to reach new heights. However, along with the boon of great information there's the danger of misinformation as well. Thrush is no exception - as a mom with over 15 years' experience in the natural health industry, I'm disturbed by the fact that there are too many unsafe remedies being recommended for thrush on the internet. So here's the lowdown on thrush natural remedies.

Briefly, the thrush natural remedies I would stay away from are (in particular order): colloidal silver, gentian violet, tea tree oil, oregano oil (unsafe for babies and children.) I'd also steer clear of prescription anti-fungals. Note: Prescription anti-fungals may of course be warranted in life threatening cases, such as a systemic yeast infection, but these are very few and far between. Prescription anti-fungals, as toxic as they are, should not be casually prescribed and used - especially where safe, natural and more effective alternatives can be substituted.

You can check out this subject in more detail in the article I've written, "Thrush Natural Remedies: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly".

If you or your child suffer from thrush, it's so important to treat the problem correctly in order to avoid the yeast from becoming a chronic, underlying problem. Yeast can contribute to all kinds of health problems including:

*asthma
*allergies
*arthritis
*fatigue
*weakened immunity
*migraine headaches
*hormone imbalances
*etc.

Treating the yeast by correcting the underlying root of the problem is the ONLY solution that truly works. Not only can you get rid of your yeast this way, you will experience improved health and vitality.

My own frustrating experiences with yeast and thrush led me to develop a unique program to get rid of thrush quickly, naturally and 100% effectively. I'm really proud of the fact that I've been able to cure clients even with severe yeast problems with this program.

Good luck to you!

Mouth Thrush: How to Cure It

Yeastie beasties - they can be so nefarious. Under the right conditions, they'll dig, burrow, and generally wreak havoc on your body. When they grow out of control in your mouth, it can be so painful and irritating.

Mouth thrush most commonly occurs in babies, children and adults with weakened immunity. Babies and children are vulnerable because of their immune systems not yet being fully developed. Older adults may also suffer from thrush due to weakened immunity, as well as people with serious diseases such as diabetes, HIV and cancer.

For more in-depth information on this subject, check out my article "Mouth Thrush: How to Recognize the Cause and Apply the Cure."

My own frustrating experiences with thrush also led me to develop a completely natural and 100% effective system for getting rid of mouth thrush permanently. You can check out my ebook, "The 3-Day Thrush Cure" at my website, www.GetRidofThrush.com.

Good luck to you!

Thrush in Babies - What Really Works?

Is this your first time dealing with thrush? When my first baby got thrush, I was like, "Oh no!!!" I was already exhausted from recovering from a c-section on top of nightly wakings to breastfeed my baby. I'd already dealt with chronic yeast problems over the years, so I knew just how resilient yeast can be. I was really stressed out to see those yeast patches, in other words! I know many other moms also struggle with treating thrush in babies.

I researched extensively on the internet and was surprised to find that even midwives were recommending drugs. There was no way I was going to use anti-fungal drugs on my baby! I'd used them myself years before and ended up losing 20 pounds (down to about 117 pounds at 5'8"0, my period had stopped and my hair had starting fallen out. Somehow I was just not going to use anti-fungals on my precious newborn.

Other information said I needed to change my sheets and towels daily, sterilize my bras and the list went on. There was just no way I had the energy to do all that. I ended up experimenting with some natural remedies I found on the net. They kept the problem from getting worse, but didn't come close to curing it.

Finally, I used my own years of experience and knowledge of yeast (as well as some trial and error) and developed a program that worked amazingly well! I have to tell you, I was honestly amazed myself at how well it worked and so I decided to publish my own ebook, "The 3-Day Thrush Cure", which you can purchase at www.GetRidofThrush.com.

I've also written a more in-depth article, "Thrush in Babies: How to Cure Infant Thrush Naturally and Permanently."

Good luck to you and your baby!

Oral Candidiasis: What Really Works?

The mouth is such a sensitive part of the body. One little problem in there, and you're really suffering. Oral candidiasis is a common yeast infection of the mouth, which is characterized by painful sores and sensitivity caused by yeast overgrowth.

Oral candidiasis occurs most commonly in babies, children or adults with compromised immunity. Antibiotics, oral steroids, and birth control pills are other factors which may also make oral thrush more likely. For more detailed information, check out my article, "Oral Candidiasis - Finding a Cure That Really Works".

Oral yeast is almost certainly a sign of underlying yeast overgrowth in the rest of the body as well. It's an indication that there is an imbalance that is allowing the yeast to grow out of control.

For more information on how to cure oral candidiasis quickly and naturally, please check out my ebook "The 3-Day Thrush Cure" at www.GetRidofThrush.com. I developed this program due to the lack of truly safe and effective ways to permanently get rid of oral thrush.

Good luck to you!

Infant Yeast Infection? Learn the Causes and The Cure

Infection yeast infections have become a growing problem over the past couple of decades. With millions of moms being treated with antibiotics every year for c-sections and Strep B prophylaxis, more and more babies are being set up for infant yeast.

The problem is that yeast is kind of "pooh-poohed" by the mainstream medical community, so it's never really addressed properly -- though it's a common side effect of antibiotic use. Antibiotics wipe out your and your baby's natural yeast defenses. Unfortunately, this means that even if you kill the yeast through the use of prescription drugs such as Diflucan or Nystatin, the yeast can insidiously grow back. This often occurs unseen, contributing to digestive problems, food allergies, asthma, weakened immunity etc.

I've covered this subject in more detail in the article, "Infant Yeast Infection? What Causes it and How to Cure it Naturally".

As for the cure, my own personal experiences (and frustration) with infant yeast thrush led me to develop a safe, natural cure for infant yeast infections that not only stop the yeast from grow, but also stops the yeast from growing back. You can find more information on this program on my website, www.GetRidofThrush.com.

Good luck to you and your baby!

Is Infant Thrush Connected to Autism, Allergies and Asthma

A lot of mainstream doctors and pediatricians look at infant thrush as kind of an annoyance, something that's bothersome but that you don't need to be that concerned about as a parent.

I firmly disagree. After struggling with serious yeast problems throughout my entire adulthood, which contributed to many other problems including arthritis, allergies, chronic fatigue, etc., I've become somewhat of an expert on yeast. My medical background and practical experience have allowed me to develop a broad knowledge base on this subject.

SO what does this mean for babies with yeast/thrush? It means as moms we've got to go past the surface and get at the root of the problem. There is a tremendous amount of evidence that serious health conditions such as autism, allergies and asthma may be caused - at least in part - by yeast overgrowth. The reason is that autism, allergies and asthma are caused (or worsened) by two things: 1.)too many internal toxins and 2.)too many assaults on a child's newly developing immune system.

Yeast cells cause both of these: they assault your child's immune system and they release hundreds of potent toxins. For more information on the link, check out my article, "Infant Thrush and Autism, Allergies and Asthma - Is There a Link?"

And if you'd like a comprehensive holistic solution for combating both your and your child's yeast/thrush, please check out my eboook, "The 3-Day Thrush Cure" at http://www.GetRidofThrush.com. I developed this holistic system after my own frustrating experiences with infant and breastfeeding thrush; I was determined not to have my children suffer from the same health problems I've suffered from.

Good luck to you and your baby!

Is Gentian Violet Safe for Infant Thrush?

As a mom it's natural you only want what's best for your baby. Many moms of babies with infant thrush go out of their way to find safe, natural cures for this yeast problem rather than opting for prescription drugs - which always have potentially serious side effects. However, is one of the most common home remedies for thrush, gentian violet, really safe?

I'd say the answer is a resounding "no." I've read a lot of well-meaning posts on the net by moms and even midwives recommending gentian violet for thrush, but if you even scratch the surface of this home remedy, you'll find that it's just not suited for babies. I've covered the surface in more detail in my article, "Gentian Violet for Infant Thrush - Is it Safe?"

Some of my main concerns relating to using gentian violet for infant thrush are:

*An article on MedicalNewsToday.com reported the FDA was cracking down on China imported seafood due the presence of 3 contaminants - including gentian violet, "a known carcinogen"
*at least one study linked use of gentian violet with increased risk for oral cancer over the long term
*gentian violet can cause painful mouth sores and ulcers - exactly what you're trying to cure

All in all, it just doesn't make sense. I feel a lot of people resort to gentian violet or other potentially harmful remedies or drugs simply out of frustration, now knowing that thrush can be cured quickly AND naturally - without side effects.

Good luck to you and your baby!

How to Recognize and Cure Infant Thrush

"WAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Don't you just hate it when baby bliss goes awry? I absolutely adore babies, but boy it can be really hard when your baby is not happy - especially if it's an ongoing thing. I know from personal experience how hard infant thrush can be. If you're wondering if your baby may have thrush, here are some of the most common symptoms:

-White patches inside your baby's mouth
-A white coating on baby's tongue
-Baby is unusually fussy
-You have symptoms of breastfeeding thrush (red, cracked nipples, painful nursing, etc.)
-Your baby's mouth seems sore
-Reluctance to feed

If EITHER mom or baby has symptoms, it's really important to treat both of you. I have more detailed information on how to recognize and cure infant thrush on ezinearticles.com.

Also, for a complete, in depth approach to curing infant thrush holistically, you may want to check out my ebook, "The 3-Day Thrush Cure" at http:/www.GetRidofThrush.com.

Common Causes of Breastfeeding Thrush

It's really unfortunate that yeast and thrush problems are becoming so commonplace. The reality is that many moms are suffering from chronic yeast problems even before they experience breastfeeding thrush. Then little babies are starting out their lives with yeast problems, which can easily spiral into chronic, low-level yeast infections.

Thrush doesn't occur in a vacuum; many modern-day medical and lifestyle practices are important reasons as to why infant thrush and breastfeeding thrush have become so prevalent.

Check out my ezinearticles.com article, "Breastfeeding Thrush - The Most Common Causes" for more detailed information on this subject.

Also, if you would like more in depth information on how to cure thrush naturally, I have published an ebook on the subject on my website www.GetRidofThrush.com . If you're a thrifty mom like me, I know it's hard to spend even $27, especially if you're thinking you can find the info for free on the internet. However, what drove me to develop and publish this information was the fact that I simply was NOT able to find this information for free on the net (I tried and failed several times) and ended up developing my own program, which so far has had a 100% success rate.

I wish you and your baby the best!

Thrush Support For Breastfeeding Moms

Hey all you nursing moms! I know how hard it can be to suffer from breastfeeding and infant thrush. I've been through it myself -- twice -- and I can say from experience it truly sucks. Fortunately you can take this as an opportunity to establish healthier habits for both you and your child; I'm always trying to see the silver lining! By addressing thrush the right way, you'll both be healthier over the long run.

Check out one of my recently published articles on ezinearticles.com, "Breastfeeding Thrush: How to Recognize it and Cure it Naturally" by clicking here.

If you'd like more comprehensive information on how to cure thrush, you can purchase my ebook at www.GetRidofThrush.com. If you're a thrifty mom like me, I know even $27 is hard to spend - however, the reason I came up with this program and this book is because I could NOT find effective and safe information to cure thrush naturally on the internet. I even bought the most popular yeast ebook on the internet, which basically said, "Well, infant thrush is normal and it will go away on it's own" - ha! Obviously written by someone who hasn't dealt with thrush.

Good luck to you! Again my website is www.GetRidofThrush.com.
