Well you wrong here is an answer. In my opinion, it will. One of the main things that I have done to treat my skin condition, is cold water, I would go to a salt spring that is cold. Most of my body cleared up with this treatment, except my face. Two reasons, I couldn't keep it under the water long enough for the salt and cold to kill the stuff on my face. Also bacteria and bugs do not like cold, they are killed by it. The other reason, I think the root of my problem was a bad tooth. I have been going to the dentist throughout this whole ordeal, exrays, exams the whole deal. It wasn't until I kept insisting something was wrong, that they extracted the tooth.

I've been useing buttermilk on my skin with very good results, plus drinking it yuck works better than all the expensive probiotics I've tried. This is a very cheap treatment, that gives good results.


Do you remember the stories of decadent Hollywood starlets and their milk baths? Or the old wives tales about douching with buttermilk or yogurt? Pasteurized milk does not have much in the way of good bacterial cultures, and so would not help much. Fresh natural yogurt and fresh natural buttermilk, on the other hand, contain a lot of Lactobacillus. acidophilus, L. Bulgaricus, etc. and the strong antifungals they generate. Applying these to the skin should kill off at least some of the candida. After all, isn't that why we have been eating the stuff? Could slathering it all over our skin really help? You Bet it does! And How!!!

When I first tried washing with yogurt, I showered, washing myself as usual; then still standing in the tub, rubbed half a cup of "Pavel's Original Russian Style" yogurt, into my skin and hair. With practice, you should be able to get by with only an eight of a cup or so. It was kind of funny, smelling like yogurt, standing in the shower. After a few minutes, I washed it all off with soap. I felt a little cleaner than usual. There was no immediate effect; that came later in the day.

(Pavel's Yogurt is like home made buttermilk. It is available in many Knob Hill, some Safeway, and many health food stores in the San Francisco Bay area. Any live culture yogurt may be used. Preference may be given to those without gelatin and other stiffening agents.)

Today, with the BSE/Mad Cow scare, one might try some of the soy yogurts.


The lacto-bacteria, including acidophilus, are known to kill candida and move in to take its place IF the concentrations of lactobacteria are high enough. A good live yogurt or buttermilk should have enough live lactobacilus to do this. Once the burdens of fighting skin borne bacteria and fungi are lifted, the immune system begins to work on other things.

Several hours after my first yogurt wash, I, ah, shall we say, became quite aware that my vitamin C need had fallen 20% and was still falling. I felt very clean inside. And I felt I did not need the gas mask as much. As I continued using the yogurt, my activated charcoal filters no longer needed changing several times each week. (I use to have to change them every day!) In fact, after two weeks of washing this way every morning (in 1987), I only needed the mask to deal with the fungal spores that come out at night, and while driving longer distances. I could even walk around in Downtown San Francisco without feeling weak from the auto exhaust. (1987)

I can't find the link that I got that from, sorry. Hope this helps.
