I would love to hear comments about the following warning for gentian
violet, found on Dr. Sears website.  Has anyone quit recommending this
treatment?  Is there another treatment for mother/baby yeast that is
comparably inexpensive, accessible, effective, safe, etc.?

Thanks,

"Warning - gentian violet has been used for many years to treat thrush. A
recent study done in Australia has linked gentian violet to cancer of the
mouth. However, many other professionals around the world believe that it is
safe, and continue to recommend it. For this reason, we suggest you use this
remedy sparingly, and for as little time as possible. "
