For the last year I have had several YI's fed up with spending 20-30 bucks and going to the doctor I turned elsewhere. I have been drinking organic apple cider vinegar everyday for 2 days, eating acidophilus and inserting garlic cloves in to my vagina and am finally relieved! I am so frustrated that my doctor continued to prescribe me drugs that were not working! Thank you for this website and everyone's input!

I took a turkey baster. Filled it half way with Apple Cider Vinegar and half with water. I put a cup of apple cider vinegar in my bath tub and filled my bath tub up with warm water just enough to cover my pelvic area. I sat in the tub then I douched with the turkey baster. Next, I sat in the tub for about 15 mins. I actually saw the white infection come out of my body. It burned slightly for only about 5 minutes. The infection was GONE. No more burning, itching and clawing my insides out. You can also put some apple cider vinegar and a few drops of water on about three cotton balls and dab it on the outside vaginal area. It will burn, but it won't be unbearable. This will stop the external itching immediately. I had that infection for nearly 2 agonizing weeks. I did 2 monostat treatments and even a diflucan that my doctor called in. NOTHING worked. My itching was so severe that I couldn't sleep, walk, stand NOTHING!!!! I couldn't even go to work. I was also very swollen. After reading this web site, I was cured and for the first time in two weeks, I was able to sleep peacefully. I spent about $70.00 on that chemical crap when I discovered that a $1.00 natural method worked instantly.

WARNING!

Oh a note about apple cider vinegar too. I went and bought the vinegar sold in grocery stores, you know the distilled one. NOT A GOOD IDEA. I drank it and immediately brought out into a yeast infection. I am not joking. As i drank it i began to feel that familiar itching of a yeast infection So just a warning - make sure that it is organic / raw apple cider vinegar that is bought (which is murky brown in colour) and not the other distilled one (light/clear brown is colour) Thanks again.

I just had my first yeast infection, within a day it was so bad that I was ready to go to the ER. I tried the AZO yeast pills, you're supposed to take one daily to reduce the risk of a yeast infection and 3 daily if you already have an infection, I tried medicated douches, monistat insert and creme and vagisil. By the time I had tried all these remedies it had got so bad that I was swollen, couldn't walk and the creme had burned me so bad I was bleeding. I googled Yeast infection and found this website. THANK YOU!!!! My husband ran out right away and got me acv and regular vinegar. I know previous people have said not to get the acv in the supermarket but it was a holiday and the health food stores were closed. I took a bath with 2 cups and douched with regular vinegar and water. It was truly amazing the difference I felt right away. Today is only the next day and I think it is almost gone. I don't know if its cured or just hiding the symptoms yet but I feel so much better. It is truly amazing!

I am simply amazed! Two days ago I started developing symptoms of a yeast infection. From past experiences I was dreading starting a "drug store remedy". In the past Monostat or others like it took about seven days to work, if they worked at all. I decided to search for an alternative cure and found this web-site. I read all of the testimonies about apple cider vinegar and had "_______" in my fridge so I had nothing to lose! I drank a glass of water with two tablespoons of ACV in it. I also put 1/2 cup of it in a hot bath and soaked for 20 min. As God as my witness I got out of the tub and already felt a huge difference. It was as if the discharge magically disappeared along with the itch. I thought this could not have happened so quickly and thought when I woke up this morning the symptoms would be back. I felt some mild pain this morning, drank another glass and soaked again. I have no discharge at all today and feel no other symptoms. I plan to soak again tonight and continue to drink the ACV three times a day from now on! I want to shout this cure from the mountain tops!!! Thank you for this website and for all that contribute to it. We can spread the word that meds often mask the problem and natural is the way to go!!

I use to suffer from UTI infections now i don't get uti infections anymore i happen to get reoccurring yeast infections. I keep going to the doctor to get medicated creams which don't last and don't do the trick. I did my own research and discovered that apple cider vinegar , grapefruit seed extract pills and nursery jelly works. I would recommend this to anyone .I think all those above mentioned things work.

ACV worked for my Yeast Infection. I had already used Monistat (1 Day) and the result was nil. I also used the anti-fungal cream that came with it, with minimal results. The itch was driving me crazy, so my next stop was going to be Vagisil (which I've never used before.) But then I searched for natural cures online and found YOUR lovely site! I drank 2 Tbsp of Omega Nutrition's unrefined Apple Cider Vinegar (it's organic) in water, plugging my nose as I did. Then I sat in half a cup of it in a low bath for 20 minutes, pouring it over the front of myself as I added it to the bath. Voila! Three days of discomfort was over! I'm never buying useless ovules again.

I have had recurring yeast infections for years which ceased when I went off the Pill. Now back on the Pill and WHAM, they're back. Tea Tree oil used to work well (few drops inserted on a tampon.) But today..NOTHING worked. Severe pain. Used the ACV cure (2 T in water) and w/in an hour, I felt better. What a miracle! The over the counter 'curse' never, ever work for me. Thanks for sharing this cure!

I ran across this site while frantically seaching the web. Although I have had yeast infections before this one was horrible. I was in REAL pain. I ran to the health food store and bought Organic Apple Cider Vinegar which is unpasteraurized (do not use grocery store brand) The 8oz bottle was $2.59. I put 1/2 cup in a warm bath and soaked for 30 min. I feel so much better as I am writing this. I actually was having trouble concentrating before because of the pain. I am not sure if this is the cure as of yet but it has relieved my symptoms by at least 70% Thanks for all the great info.

I recently had taken antibiotics for a sinus infection and ended up with a male yeast infection with severe external blistering and irritation. Found your website and read about acv for sinus and yeast. Not willing to go back on meds that caused this nasty thing I started on 2 tbsp organic acv and 1/4 tsp baking soda as internal and straight acv for external cleansing of blistered area .Did this 3 to 4 times daily. It burned for a few seconds but then all itching and burning stopped. In 4 days the blistering and irritation were gone and have not returned. Am still using acv to finish curing this sinus infection and other diabetes related problems also noticed better & easier digestion. Thanks for a great batch of info Highly recommend this site to all.

I have chronic yeast infections (monthly, around my ovulation time). It bothers me to take the antibiotic treatment, since I know they can be harmful, and the over the counter vaginal creams burn me to the point that I believe I am allergic to them. The last time I took the antibiotic, it didn't even work, so I was thrilled to find this website. I tried the ACV treatment today and it went very well. I drank 2 tblsp of ACV in a tall glass of water, and I bathed in a hot bath with about a cup of the ACV in it. I didn't have a turkey baster, so I flushed with the cupping of my hand and tried to get the water in and out. Most symptoms were gone immediatly and I will repeat this tomorrow once or twice. So far, I am absolutely amazed at the results. I really appreciate this information you have shared. Note: I also cut all sugar and flour from my diet right now, to help, since I know the bacteria feeds on this.
