Recently, I did a month of Humaworm. It is anti parasite, but it also targets yeast. I didn't feel I had a yeast problem, but now that I have finished the month, I think I really did have some issues and the humaworm resolved it.

"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."
Five Steps to Candida Elimination:
1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.
2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]
3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]
4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]
5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]

I would suggest adding one or more of the following:
Take oregano oil capsules Swallow whole or partial cloves of raw garlic Consider taking caprylic acid capsules as well.
Take these two hours apart from your probiotics if you can.
You can get a fleet enima and empty it. Then refill it with warm (purified) water and open a probiotic capsule into it, and use the enima. This is good for your colon where the probiotics have trouble getting to.
Use nystatic cream or other over the counter vaginal yeast remedy on the affected area, or tea tree oil if you prefer.
Wishing you wellness!

I forgot to mention, Artemicin is a powerful atifungal as well as antimicrobial. Many LLMD's prescribe it. If it is appropriate to add this in to your antibiotic protocol, it may help.

I really like an olive leaf extract capsule. Works very well for me and is very easy on my system.
www.florastor.com has some of the probiotics that can withstand abx. FLORISTOR sacchomyces boulardii (sp?) -
