Adult Oral Thrush: Ouch!

I had a client email me yesterday asking me to call him for a personal consultation about his severe case of oral thrush. It turns out he'd been on antibiotics for 3 months for a sinus infection, and now had thrush on his tongue and in the back of his throat. On top of that, he also experienced a lot of fatigue and had started suffering from migraines.

No fun at all, I'd say! This is a perfect example of the misuse of antibiotics and how they can cause so many other health problems, including thrush. Antibiotics wipe out your body's natural yeast defenses, which leaves a huge percentage of our population vulnerable to thrush as well as other chronic yeast infections.

What this young man didn't realize is that antibiotics are rarely helpful for sinusitis, despite the side effects. In fact, as study by the Mayo Clinic implicated fungus as the primary cause of sinusitis! No wonder the antibiotics had made his problem worse rather than better.

After he read my book and we spoke he realized the connection between his thrush and other health problems. This is also another example of why the holistic approach is often best: otherwise, you try to kill one thing (in this case bacteria) and another infectious organism pops up in his place!

While I'm practical about western medicine - even pharmaceuticals have their place - the truth is antibiotics are widely overused misused, often causing more problems than they solve.
