Yeast Infections 

Recognizing the Problem 

Most women have a yeast infection at some point. Some men even do. Some women are more susceptible than others. Check with your doctor to make sure yeast is what you are dealing with, and that there are no other factors. So many things can trigger a yeast infection: baths, swimming, hot weather, sex, and sports. All of our favorite things can be triggers! Over the counter remedies can become less effective over time. Prescription solutions can be harsh on the body. But yeast infections can re-occur and be very painful.

An Alternative 

I discovered Ionic Boron worked brilliantly to end re-occurring yeast infections when I was using it to treat mold exposure. A good friend had her Gynecologist recommend Boric Acid to her as a solution to re-occurring yeast infections.  

Using Boric Acid or Ionic Boron 

You have two choices depending on your preferences. Your first choice is to get Boric Acid in liquid form. In this form it is called Ionic Boron. It comes in a bottle with a stopper. Take two stoppers full in the morning and two stoppers full before bed. Have something to drink nearby to wash it down as it has a sort of salty, bitter taste. I use it for several days until the symptoms are gone. Or if I feel the symptoms starting.  

Your second choice is Boric Acid vaginal suppositories. Your local Compounding Pharmacy can make these up for you. You can use them several times per week, or daily when you experience symptoms, or following sex, or following your body’s favorite trigger.  

Considerations 

The concern here is making sure that the yeast infection is a simple vaginal ph imbalance, and not an early sign of a more serious condition such as Diabetes or AIDs. Women are developing Diabetes at much earlier ages than ever before. Women are also more at risk for AIDs. Make sure what you think is a yeast infection, is just that and not the symptom of something more serious, or a STD.  

Boric Acid has been around a long time. That is a home remedy my grandmothers were using. When I was a child, Boric Acid was a staple in every drug store. Now it is very difficult to find in human grade. (You can readily find it for pest control.) Locating it for medicinal use can be a challenge. The Ionic Boron can be found at Health Food Stores, although you may have to get them to order it. In Alternative Medicine Heaven, there is only one store that stocks Ionic Boron. (I may be responsible for all of its sales.) Or you can go to your local compounding pharmacy and request it there.

I've been involved in the alternative health industry as a medical researcher, health consultant, certified nutritionist and freelance writer for nearly 13 years. I'm also the author and co-author of several best selling alternative health books and dozens of articles. Holistic health is my life - it's all I've ever done.

There are thousands of yeast infection programs and dozens of people claiming to be experts. However, very few of these so-called "candida infection experts" practice what they preach or have the credentials to back up their claims.
