Enjoy Oregano oil. It is especially great if you have an uncontrollable sweet tooth and it has been determined that you probably have a systemic yeast infection called candidiasis. By eating sugars this causes an overgrowth of yeast with a hindrance in the normal bacteria which line the intestines. The overgrowth suppresses normal flora. This flora of the intestines helps to digest foods we eat. It may be prudent to take an additional capsule of acidophilus and mix it in a half cup of plain yogurt while on antibiotics.
Yeast thrives on sugars. When you get a craving for a sugar laden sweet
it is the yeast within your body demanding,
"Feed me, feed me. If you don't feed me some sugar soon, I will die."
Oregano oil just one drop daily, travels through the intestines, laying a track where yeast cannot grow. The beneficial bacteria move in and re-populate the gut. I take extra B during this same time period. Sugars wash away the body's Vitamin B reserves. A study at Johns Hopkins University USA, used oregano oil with immunosuppressed children. They tried the usual yeast treatment vs. oregano oil. Oregano oil won hands down. It burns a little within your mouth so I pop a dried cherry in my mouth to counteract the taste. Within three days my sweet tooth was gone.
