MessageActually getting a yeast infection is due to an inbalance in your body. Can also be received sexually but men usually are not so succeptible. After I did a 40 day cleans with drinking just lemon juice, maple syrup and water my body became so unbalanced that yeast invaded it. I made it too clean. A thing to remember when doing fasts and cleanses I think. Once you cleanse your system , well, you then have to eat very organic and be very attentive as your system is very aware of what you put into it. Me, well I took the other method. I pretty much dirtied it up again so that the system can accept non-organic food. I can't afford vegetables nor meats that are "organic". We do have to live within our means and with what is put before us and I am neither monk nor nun so I am expected to mix with people and community. Hard to do when one is eating a thimble of food each day. I basically said "screw that".
Anyways, I have done some research on this and basically have asked on this forum about such stuff also and do not get any really helpful answers other than the one Plato gave me a few days back that is to increase immune sytem, etc. using herbs and wolfberrys. He said the herbs are not expensive and that an electrifying machine for blood is good to get rid of parasites. (can buy on EBAY for less than $100). Well I haven't started any of that -- basically I have NO money. It will have to wait till I do. Raising 3 kids nowadays is NOT cheap. Especially 3 older kids. Anyways somethings you can do to help out is (and this is for women too re baths)
1. Do not have baths. Increases heat, heat breeds yeast.
2. Someone recommended either ironing or microwaving your underwear as just plain laundering does not always get rid of the yeast and of course you re infect yourself as soon as you put on your underwear.
3. No stress - stress leads to strain on immune system which allows yeast to bread (no stress for me right now is pretty much impossible - I am expecting a sever heart attack any day to put me out of my misery, ha, ha)
4. Cut back or delete sugars, cheese, breads, etc. that have yeast and anything with vinegar.
5. I have been taking coconut oil, (virgin - ha, ha). You are supposed to begin with 1/2 tsp or so and increase it to 1-2 TBSP. Do not start with 2 TBSP or you will make yourself sick. Some people have excellent results with this. The coconut oil chemical makeup is supposed to actually dissolve the outer shell of the yeast organism and destroys it. You can look up coconut oil on the web for more info.
6. Sleeping with no underwear is good and going commando as often as you can is also good. (as of interest when I did a "sweat" with a native female elder she had mentioned that it is good for women to wear skirts or dresses so that their vagina is open to the earth to receive healing and noursihment - I understand what she meant by that ... now and I believe this to be very good advice. I think that I will eventually take her up on that advice)
7. Yeast infections do not really hurt us unless allowed to get WAY out of hand. They can then infect our intestines big time and can do a bit of damage. Western doctors cn give you a one shot pill to swallow to supposedly get rid of the yeast, which it will but only for a few days or weeks and then unless you balance your body it comes right back.
I am going to continue doing what I am doing as above, well I am eating sugar again - to hell with it, but the others I am practising. But I am also going to try Plato's advice and recipe. Should work I think. Even though he does visit Porno Conventions he seems to know a bit about the herbs, etc.
As for energy work, I think that a general practice of neigong that strengthens the immune system and body would be best myself. Maybe after starting on the recipe.
And you know what, if you did get the yeast infection sexually don't worry about it, you are lucky it is just a yeast infection. One should be much more careful, it could very well be something more serious next time and perhaps using a condom is a good idea -- all the time, especially now so you do not give someone else such discomfort but all the time. Curing HIV is not so easy and the effects are much more deadly.
However also to note ... I am not a doctor and I do not think that most on this forum are doctors either. So take any suggestions as that .. only suggestions. It is always good to pair these with a western doctor's visit. Always better to be safe than sorry BECAUSE, there are some sexually transmitted diseases that mask themselves as yeast infection and are in fact something a little more serious that may need a little penicillin to clean up. Don't mess around with self diagnosis.
Other than that, hey that's life.
Bitch sometimes.
Rainbows!!
