Gentian Violet and Diflucan: Are the Risks Worth It? You Decide.

The other day I was on a forum relating to thrush and some moms were discussing the pros and cons of using the natural approach versus Diflucan or Gentian Violet. (Note that Gentian Violet is not actually a natural remedy - it's a home remedy that has serious health risks associated with it.)

At any rate, one mom was saying that basically she tried some natural stuff and it didn't work so she used gentian violet on her child because he kept getting thrush and it kept coming back. Regarding the cancer risk she said something to the effect of, "That stuff's so nasty I wouldn't doubt it." (Note: this problem of recurring thrush is exactly why I recommend curing the yeast at the root rather than just treating symptomatically again and again. This child is at risk for long term yeast-related health problems.)

Now, as moms, we each have to make our own choices, but to me, I tend to go the very conservative approach when it comes to my children. I try my absolute hardest to minimize any risk to them. So my question is, okay even if the risk of oral cancer to your child from gentian violet is small,how would you feel if 30, 40, or even 50 years down the line your child developed oral cancer? Would it have been the work risk to you? Could you live with the possibility that you might have caused this to happen to your child?

I know I couldn't and that's one reason why I was so determined to come up with a completely natural and safe program for thrush, which you can download at http://www.GetRidofThrush.com.

Now, another mom was saying basically, Diflucan works like a charm and I'm sure the risk for liver failure is very small. First of all, liver failure is just one of the risks of Diflucan - that's the worst case (and deadly) scenario. There's a whole gamut of reactions that can lead up to that. Next, you have to understand that the toxic load to your child is a cumulative thing - many diseases are not caused from one toxin, but rather a cumulation over time of toxins. Just like with radiation - one x-ray may not cause cancer, but the cumulative radiation exposure over your life all adds up. It's the same way with toxic drugs like Diflucan.

Now the other issue I mentioned also applies here - what if you child is that child who does go into liver failure? Will it have been worth it to have the ease of giving her a pill that "worked like a charm?" I'm the kind of person that thinks about these things. I just couldn't live with myself if something that happened to my child that I could have prevented.

Is it easier for the mom to give your baby a few pills rather than go through the steps to rebalance your child's body and cure the yeast at the root? Yeah, I guess it is. But I guess every mom has got to make the decision on what's important.

Now, I know that most moms don't have the knowledge that I have on yeast and other health issues and so some turn to less-than-ideal treatments out of frustration or lack of knowing what to do. But I can assure you, that every single mom who I've worked with (and I offer free unlimited consultations to every one of my clients) has gotten rid of the thrush safely and naturally and permanently. And you know what? They felt good about it too.

Good luck to you!

Breastfeeding Thrush: "I Have Thrush So Bad it's in My Armpits!"

This is what a friend told me when she called me a couple of months ago. She was on her second baby (3 months old) and was beside herself with stress and exhaustion. She had a 2-year-old already, a husband working 7 days a week to make ends meet, and she really had a bad case of thrush - worse, she really had candidiasis, which is when the yeast has gone systemic. On top of that, the inflammation from the yeast in her breast tissue was causing recurrent mastitis and problems with her milk supply regulation. Her baby also had symptoms of oral thrush.

I talked to her for a while and told her what she needed to do. She was afraid her case was just too severe but really did not want to take harmful drugs or give them to her baby, so she decided to give my recommendations a try. At any rate, a few weeks later her baby was completely clear. Another 3 weeks later she called to thank me and tell me she was back to her normal self and couldn't believe it but the mastitis and all of her fatigue, thrush and other yeast symptoms were gone too.

This is a perfect example of how having thrush/yeast is a sign that your body and/or your baby's body, is out of balance. This underlying imbalance leaves a person susceptible not only to yeast but to other infections and health problems as well - and that's why it's so important not just to kill the yeast when treating thrush. On top of that, many pharmaceutical and even home remedies for thrush are toxic, making the underlying imbalance even worse.

Whoa! Talk About Misinformation on Thrush

As you can probably guess from the title of my blog, I'm pretty into the topic of thrush. Why? Because it's a topic that has such important consequences for babies and children's health as well as moms. Many older adults are affected as well.

It's also quite difficult to get helpful, accurate information on thrush. In fact, you'll find plenty of information from credible sources on the internet that is quite unhelpful. For example, here's what WebMD has to say about home treatments for thrush:

"Drink cold liquids, such as water or iced tea, or eat flavored ice treats or frozen juices. Eat foods that are easy to swallow such as gelatin, ice cream, or custard."

I'm sure the author of this article means well, but they obviously don't have a clue about how to properly treat thrush. Yeast loves sugar and not only will sugar promote yeast internally, it will drastically make the oral thrush worse! This is just one example of how careful you have to be when searching the net for health information.

Thrush in Babies: Can Babies Get Candida?

It's amazing how the power of the internet has awoken so much interest in natural and alternative health. Actually, it's quite awesome really. With this awakening there's been a huge surge in awareness of the fact that chronic yeast problems can cause or worsen a myriad of health problems, including fatigue, autoimmune disorders, asthma, allergies, autism, ADD/ADHD, PMS, depression, and brain fog, to name a few.

So I have to say it's really surprising to me how little awareness there is of the fact that many yeast problems first originate as thrush in infants. I suppose because babies and toddlers can't communicate very well, there's just less realization that yeast can cause just as many problems in babies and toddler as it can in adults. In fact, many long term yeast/candida problems originated in infants or toddlers.

I'm hoping to raise awareness of this issues amongst moms so they'll be motivated to treat infant thrush/thrush in babies at the root. Cure it and keep it from coming back - for good. Babies deserve the best and they are dependent on us to keep them out of harm's way! Yeast can be an insidious problem, and it's not truly cured by toxic drugs or even many "natural" remedies - such as gentian violet, which I don't consider a safe choice for babies or adults with thrush.
