candida/yeast/thrush

I think all of these things are the same, but I'm not sure. I noticed a coating on my tongue about 2 weeks ago, the same week I was hit with a flu/cold which was possibly walking pneumonia. It hurt in my throat when I tried to breathe deeply.

LLMD had me stop antibiotics (still using herbal meds and supps) and I started a candida cleanse (2 capsules a day - not sure what is in it) and the coating has retreated to the back of my tongue. I'm still feeling some discomfort in my throat.

How long does it take candida to go away? I know oil of oregano is one possibility to treat it but I'm a little nervous about that one given what I've read. What else has been used successfully?

i searched through the NEW TO LYME post and can't find Pirouette. Can someone help me? Thank you so much in advance

1000Daisies I did read through that post. My tongue is ever so slowly clearing, but I think I'm going to add in oil of oregano. I ordered it - now I just have to get over the nervousness and try it! I decided to go with drops instead of capsules so I can start very slowly.

Good to know Traveler. I've been achy the last couple of days, but that happened on antibiox too so I'd like to try and clear the candida and up the herbals. From what I've read, it sounds like only 3-5 drops of ooo are needed, at least for candida, so I thought I'd start with one and then add a drop every few days.

The achiness could be a herx from the houttiya since that's a new one that was added. So hard to know! I wonder what the airport folks will think when I bring all these little bottles in my luggage.

Day 2 of one drop of ooo and WOW is that stuff strong! I mix it with water and my other herbals, and today I added a smidge of pure cranberry juice and still felt the burn. I hope it's helping. I was realy achy last night and this morning but better now. Candida continues to slowly retreat.
