Natural Antifungal Remedies

There is so much wishy washy information out there that it's time consuming and difficult to sift through everything.
I already know about eating yogurt & taking garlic supplements (not sure how much and how often). I am also taking a 3 day OTC antifungal (can this damage my bod) & feeling some relief already. I don't want to take diflucan. I decided not to take the oral herbal cure the grocery store had because it contained yeast in it, & that's what I'm trying to fight against! LOL =O
How much fruit is safe to eat with my plain yogurt and kefir? How much sugar is okay in products like milk or adding Splenda to coffee (which I read that aspartame is also feeding the yeast)?What about fasting?
I read somewhere it has to do with the pH balance but not to drink sodas because of sugar?
I do not have diabetes but "sugar" & diabetes has been known to run on both sides of the family.
Is there anything else I need to know about natural remedies that I have not asked on here?

Hi there, Dear!

Well, there are a couple of things that you can do to remedy the situation. I have found that you can purchase L-lysine capsules over the counter at your local drug store. You can insert it in the vagina each evening before going to bed. This alkalinizes the area and will give you immediate relief.

Diet should have no sugar in it whatsoever. If you think about making bread, yeast FEEDS on sugar and that is what makes the bread rise, so sugar is a no-no. Eating short-grain brown rice at least once a day will help to balance your body. You can also take L-lysine orally for a week to balance the PH in your body and eradicate any yeastie-beasties that are still attacking the sugar in your system. Unfortunately, most of the people that suffer from yeast infections, also have a high rate of type II diabetes when they get older. That isn't to say that you can't nip it in the bud right now. The Macrobiotic Diet, by Michio Kushi is an excellent way to combat diabetes and the damage that is created. Unfortunately for me, I didn't know about it when I first developed the disease in my late 20's. Check out his website, that I included below in the "source" area. It has several testimonials and various informative blogs about all sorts of different diseases and their cures utilizing a natural, healthy lifestyle and the consequent diet.

I hope this helps. An apple cider vinegar douche is said to help for the same reason, though I never tried it for an infection. The above remedy I used frequently. I'm a diabetic and sugar is really my enemy. It was also my favorite food, so needless to say, I had a lot of yeast infections when I was younger. Good luck and feel better soon. I know how awful these infections can be.
