Re: Oil of Oregano Capsule Reaction & Background

' Antibiotic overuse has stimulated tremendous problems with this organism. Overgrowth in the intestinal and urinary tracts is common. Candida has traditionally been treated with antifungals and azoles, but the last 20 yrs have seen a significant resistance emerge across the entire genius. Resistant infections cause urinary tract infections, vaginal infections- they love mucous membrane systems. Itching, burning, soreness, irritation, whitish patches or discharge are common sysmptoms. In some instances candida can become systemic and affect multiple organs. Infections are much more serious in people whose immune systems are compromised. The herbs to treat candida are sida, alchornea, bidens, cryptolepis (minimally), artemisia annua, the berberines, juniper, honey, usnea, black pepper, lomatium, isatis, licorice, red root flowers, reishi, echinacea, chaparro amargosa and desert willow.
