Question 7

what is the most effective, preferrably natural, way to abolish candida? i have tried all the creams, fluconazol,  nystatin, probiotics & coconut oil.

Accepted Answer

No single best way: Different strains of candida are sensitive/resistant to diff. Treatments so there is no single best way. It is ideal to do a culture with a lab like genova or doctor's data that will do sensitivity testing to see what works best, but it doesn't always grow on culture. No treatment will work without a very low starch diet for several months. I advise consulting a holistic md with expertise in this.

Sexuality: We avoid advocating for any product here. But medicine would have no negative thing to say for this choice. The only caveat being if you use condoms that don't mix we'll with ths oil.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

What's the cause ?: Cellulitis is basically a visible inflammation (itis) of the skin and soft tissues (red, hot, swollen and tender) . It can be caused by many things including sunburn (radiation), trauma (sprained ankle) or poor vein circulation (stasis dermatitis). It need not be caused by bacteria.  If you have repeated episodes of this, get to a wound care or vascular specialist, the diagnoses you have is wrong.

Question 10
