Fiona and others:  I have an article coming out on how to treat breast
yeast OTC (when no one will prescribe fluconozole or ketoconozole).  It
will appear in issue #42 of Midwifery Today.  Please look for it or let me
know if you can't find it and I will email the care-plan to you.  Our
biggest problem around here is that most of the doctors don't consider
ductal yeast even a possibility.  Any inflamation of the breast or breast
pain is automatically treated by antibiotics as though it could only be
bacterial.  Guess, where that gets us?  Usually, to a more intensified case
of breast yeast.  Last year we had 82 inches of rain, lots of antibiotics
given, and many chronic breast yeast cases in Oregon.  I did lots of
professional educating and did manage to convince a few of the docs that
this was a real problem and not just mom's "whining," as the put it.  It is
truly amazing when women do get relief how grateful they are that someone
took them seriously.
