We eat organic now and my 15 mo. daughter has been taking daily probiotics since she was 3 months when I first learned. The health of our gut flora is so important and I am thankful to have discovered all of this great information sooner than later. Hope you like it too. :)<br />XO<br />Christina Christina McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457022124400058147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-82455425083819703372014-02-05T21:48:36.721-05:002014-02-05T21:48:36.721-05:00I was so curious about OTC and home remedies for f...I was so curious about OTC and home remedies for fungal infections, I was looking things up on www.thepeoplespharmacy.com. There were a myriad of suggested treatments for different fungal skin infections, but the one I found most astounding was vodka! I guess you dilute it 1:1 with water and can add some nice scent, like orange oil, and wipe or spray it on. Have no idea if it works, but thought I'd pass it on. <br />Also worth trying: witch hazel, cornmeal paste (let soak 1/2 hour before applying), or OTC creams like miconazole, terbinafine, clotrinazole (but I would wonder if these are safe for a baby's skin). <br />Will say a prayer this goes away FAST!

Don't know if it works, but thought I would float it out there. <br />And by the way, do you find any "natural" remedies out there for severe diaper rash? I know White Tea is an anti-fungal, and so is Mustard ESSENTIAL Oil. Don't know if this stuff would help.<br />Also, if you are going to try to get the anti-fungal cream ($500!!!!) if you have a Costco or Sam's Club, or Walmart nearby, call around and see if they can give it to you a little cheaper.

I know it's tough, to figure ...What a routine! I know it's tough, to figure this all out and keep at it. Just some more food for thought: (and possibly more supplements? OH NO! :-) We have had very good success with gastro problems for my elderly mother (had a left side stroke so has some gastro problems due to paralysis - no walking, paralysis of left side abdominal muscles inside and out). She had at times not only constipation but also diarrhea. Last time the diarrhea was very severe, and was diagnosed as some kind of "infection" in her colon, for which she got anti-biotics (Zithromax) and so after that was done we began a long course to restore her bowel. We used a good probiotic (Dr. Ohira's), virgin unrefined coconut oil (in capsule form, 1000 mcg 4 per day, (we also heard coconut "milk" is a good gastrointestinal aid) (also helps with mental acuity) and 1/2 oz aloe vera (brand name: George's Aloe Vera, refined, distilled and filtered- no scent, no taste) added to 1/2 cup yogurt. After a month we saw good changes, more solid bowel. After a year her bowel was again normal; in fact, no constipation or diarrhea. We still keep this up because we want to maintain her gastro absorption and function. <br />I also wanted to comment on the $400 anti-fungal you mentioned for Boomer on your Facebook page (I'm not on Facebook so can't comment there.) We have the anti-fungal Nystatin Triamcinolone Acetonide cream prescribed for my mom because of incontinence issues, and need to stave of the inevitable skin irritations (the diaper rash issues of infancy) that often occur. A few years ago a tube of 60 mg was about $11.00. All of a sudden, the cost went up to $160, then $240 and now stands at $360 PER TUBE (a tube the size of a hydro-cortisone cream). It is astounding! My mom has Medicare Part D, and so with her insurance we pay a small co-pay, but still, no one can answer why this stuff is so darn expensive.<br />All the pharmacist could tell us is that some of these generic very cheap medications are skyrocketing because most pharmaceutical companies stopped making them because they just weren't cost effective. So now only one or two companies are making these anti-fungals, and so they raised the price 300%. (Taro Pharmaceuticals is one. Their stock price has also skyrocketed.) Now, I don't know if that is the real reason, but it is astounding something that was so cheap all of a sudden costs like gold. It's been like this for about 3 years.<br /><br />I hope once you find what works for Mae you can keep it up easily, and keep researching for other supplements that might be helpful. I'm sure she feels much better too! Thank you Mommy!!<br />God Bless ~ BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
