I have <b>not</b> found that most "regular" grocery stores carry acidophilus...usually has to be the more health food/alternative/gluten free/vitamin type stores that carry them...Also some chiropractors carry them....again, you will need to be getting them from a refrigerated section.

<b>Here is another great tip for those who battle vaginal yeast infections...</b>it is completely safe to use the capsules as a vaginal suppository nightly -- this will create an over abundance of acidophilus growing and it will crowd out the yeast so it cannot grow.... the only drawbacks are..what goes up, must come down...wearing a minipad is a good idea...also it can take a week or so to work.

Try deeply gargling with very warm salt water mixed with some oregano oil. You have to gargle deep though, with head looking up, hard gargling for a minute. Whenever I rarely get throat crud, that whips the crap out of it quickly.

Hi There. Gargle Baking soda and 4 ounces of water!!! 2 times a day.


Yeast grows in an acidic environment. Cfers suffer hyper-acidification of the lungs and intestinal tract. Hyper acidification due to the pancreas' inability to secrete bicarb (a pH raising chemical) allows for the destruction of the pancreas which allows for pancreatic insufficiency and later diabetes. The cftr channel in our lungs doesn't work either so the bicarb release is negligible. The constant low pH (very acidic) leads to the destruction of the immune response and all sorts of organisms growing. When you add TOBI to an already acidic body, you are killing good and bad bacteria, but you are also lowering your pH with each dose of TOBI. You are adding acid to acid....

In the 70's, studies were done with cfers using sodium bicarbonate to help raise pH in the intestinal tract and to increase absorption of fat...and guess what it worked!!! But someone forgot to go forth with that info...dammit. The latest enzymes about to be released have sodium bicarb in them to increase pH and allow for better digestion. Higher pH allow for better motility of intestinal tract and good bacteria love it. When you take acidophilus, you are helping to raise pH levels which turns on immune response. Get some that will help.

Also, if you are the scientific type, go buy pH strips at your local health food store. Pee on a strip and see where you are on the pH scale. Anything under 7 and your immune system is in "oh crap" mode.

Since I began taking sodium bicarb on a daily basis I have had all sorts of amazing things happen...first thing is no yeast!!!! NO Heartburn, my urine pH went from 4.5 to 7.2, my creatinine has gone from .8 to .6 and my BUN/creatinine ratio is perfect and it wasn't before.

You can add sodium bicarb (one teaspoon arm and hammer baking soda) in 4 ounces of warm water. I drink it, but you will have the same effect (most likely) if you just gargle and spit it out. You can do it 2 times a day. Sodium bicarb has anti-fungal properties basically bc yeast have a hard time growing in an alkaline environment.

I have a theory on CFers desire for so much salt. Because we excrete it, we crave it. But it is not the salt we are really craving, it is our bodies way of craving a more alkaline (high pH) environment. The bicarb is not making it out to the extracellular spaces, so we are waaaayyyy too acidic... and salt is our bodies innate way of protecting itself.

That sounds awesome mama. I should check it out. Tell me at what lvl my pee PH should be at optimally. Also how/where do you get all these odd tests run on your levels? And how much bicarb do you recommend taking daily in the water?
