Willard Drug Treatment Program: 6 Natural Yeast Infection Cures

Here are 6 natural yeast infection cures that you can use in an overall program to rid yourself of Candida and yeast forever:

1. Echinacea: (Echinacea angustifolid) North American Indians have used echinacea as a treatment for toothaches, snake bites, insect bites or stings, and all types of infections. It has a reputation as a blood purifier and also has interferon-like properties. It fights both strep and staph infections, kills Candida (yeast infections), and can kill fungi. It has been used successfully for blood poisoning, ulcers, tuberculosis, childhood infections of every kind, and a long list of skin, digestive, and immune system disorders.

Most herbalists recommend that echinacea be used on an intermittent basis (three weeks on, two weeks off) because its immune-boosting effects wane if used continuously. I do not agree with this. According 10 a growing number of herbalists like Canada’s Dr. Terry Willard, the on-off use of echinacea is unnecessary since studies indicate that continued usage is best.

2. Licorice: Many of the world’s cultures have used licorice as a tonic and energy booster, as well as for yeast infection cures and female disorders. Licorice has anti-inflammatory and antialler-genic properties. The two licorice components, glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid, stimulate the production of interferon by the body. Licorice is very helpful for coughs, colds, and flu and heals inflamed mucous membranes in the respiratory tract.

3. Medicinal mushrooms: Reishi, maitake, shiitake, and kombucha, among others, stimulate many aspects of the immune system, including the production of interferon. These are controversial for those individuals who are highly sensitive to mold, yeast, or fungi. In such people, these are best avoided, regardless of their immune-potentiating properties. Pau d’arco This herb is well known for its antifungal properties and its stimulating effect on the immune system. Several anecdotal reports have indicated that it could help fight cancer.

4. Vitamin A and beta-carotene: Both nutrients boost interferon production. Vitamin C and bioflavonoids Vitamin C boosts interferon production. Especially beneficial are pycnogenols like grape seed extract, pine bark extract, and bilberry, as well as quercetin, hesperidin, and catechin.

5. Wheat grass: This “superfood” is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. It also enhances interferon production. It is particularly used for cancer treatments and is best taken in juice form. (Avoid it if you are wheat allergic.)

6. Dulse and seaweeds: These are exceptionally good antifungal whole foods. They are rich in iodine and selenium, two minerals known for their ability to [activate fungi. Before antifungal drugs, iodine was the main effective yeast infection cures against Candida and fungi.
