| Hi Shelley. When I was younger in high school (I am a sopomore in college now) I had acne on my face and back. My doctor prescribed me with some antibiotics. If I remember correctly, it was Doxycyline first, then Tetracycline, Minocin, and lastly, Zithromax tri pack. I went through at least 2 bottles of each over the span of the last 6 years. I recently quit Zithromax back in August. Two summers ago, I developed what I believe was a yeast infection in my crotch. It was smelly and kinda gooey. I am a male also. That went away after a week or so, and then this past summer, I developed a white coating around my inner lips. This was maybe 2 weeks after I stopped taking 1 AD (a prohormone) I only took that for a week. The coating went away after 2 days and came back about 2 weeks later. This time, my tongue turned white along with the coating. The coating on my innner lips went away but the white tongue stayed. In august the coating came back and then went away again. Tongue still white. I then started on garlic and probiotics. The coating on lips has not came back ever since but after nights of heavy drinking, it looks like it want to come back. Tongue has yet to turn back pink and it is very worrisome. I read psyllium husk will get rid of it. Also, if I rub my finger on my inner lips, it seems there are some kinda like bumps I can feel in spots. What is this? Shelley, can you please help me and give me some advise? |

Yep, that's candida! Google images of Thrush and you'll see. And the tongue coating could be etiher thrush or just undigested toxins.
Probiotics are a good start. Be a little more thorough tho and flush out the entire digestive systm with either a fiber-based cleanser with plenty of herbs, or an oxygen/magnesium based cleanser like Oxy-powder.
And it would be a good idea to avoid refined sugar for a month or so.
Some digestive herbal teas, basic lymph and liver management (herbs, cleansing carrot salad) would also be a good idea.
To get rid of the bumps in your mouth, gargle with either a colloidial silver solution or grapefruit seed extract.
Hope that helps!  |
