I'm poor. What supplements should I absolutely buy?

[knicknack]

I'm a graduate student, so I have next to no money. What supplements should I absolutely buy to try to combat any possible yeasties that I have? I get vaginal yeast infections if I even blink wrong, so if nothing else I can get rid of those.. :yikes

From what I gather, OoO and some kind of acidophilous (which I have)?

Knickknack,

Sounds like we are in the same boat w/ the infections. :hug I take Oil of Oregano capsules, which were like $11, the probiotics I take are called Jarrow Dophilus, they were like $15 and I use extra virgin coconut oil (which I found to be VERY effective), instead of butter which was $12. I also use a couple of others like olive leaf extract, yeast cleanse in additon to my multi vitamin. But the first ones should get you started... HTH

[knicknack]

where did you get the extra virgin coconut oil, if i may ask?

[calyn320]

I bought mine at Whole Foods Market, but I have seen it at Wild Oats as well. If you don't have either one of those, a health food store should have it. HTH Also I remebered one more thing I use. You've probably seen it mentioned a bunch of time. Apple Cider Vinegar, it has to be the raw unprocessed kind (not the same as the one they have at grocery stores). It's only a couple of dollars and can be found at any of the above stores. It has saved me since we cannot have vinegar based dressings or condiments. I make a salad dressing out of olive oil and the ACV and also a kind of hot sauce for wings. HTH

BeckySue, thanks for the site. It has some great information on there.

Another great site is www.curezone.com. They have a very active message board for candida sufferers, along with some people who have cured their candida overgrowth and are very willing to help others.
