The web address given for Pat Gima's tx plan for yeast is not valid
when I try to connect.  Mary Kay, would you confirm it?
Thanks,

>In the case decribed by Karyn-grace Clarke, it sounds like the mom had a
>reaction to the GV. Be sure the dilution is correct or it can cause skin
>ulcers (especially in baby's mouth!) Mom can use a hydrogel dressing if
>the wound is not healing well, if changed frequently it should not
>increase the risk/intensity of thrush. Usually mom should have Diflucan
>(200 mg loading dose, 100 mg day for at least 13 days) and baby needs
>oral treatment (nystatin suspension). I also advise that mom take
>acidophilus and garlic as a supplement. I've had great luck taking Pau
>d'Arco regularly as a 'prophylactic" treatment. baby can also receive
>acidophilus treatment (open capsule, sprinkle on wet finger and let baby
>suck finger 3 times per day). it also helps if mom eliminates dairy from
>her diet, reduce or eliminate sugar and NO artificial sweeteners. Pat
>Gima (Hi!) has an excellent yeast treatmetn plan on the internet
>(www.erols.cindyrn/yeast) as does Jack Newman (same site). Does baby
>have a yeasty diaper rash? What else is going on?
>Good Luck
