Q. Dear Terry, “Since I was a kid, I have been on a lot of antibiotics. First, I had ear infections a lot, and then I was on an antibiotic for my acne. So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I am having a lot of issues with yeast now that I am an adult. I am not a diabetic, and I have really improved my diet to the point that I have almost no sugar. I still have some issues. Is there a supplement that can help?” —Mandara K., Bend, OR A. Dear Mandara, Good for you that you have greatly reduced sugar in your diet. I would also encourage you to greatly reduce grains, especially refined white flour, white pasta and white rice. Try this for a few months and I think you will be very happy with the results. I think reducing grains is healthy overall, and a better diet focuses on fruits, vegetables and proteins. If you’d like to learn more about what I consider the healthiest diet, see Terry’s Diet for All Mankind. As for a supplement to help rid your body of excessive yeast, the most powerful formula features the Bio-Typed concentrated plant oil of Ravensara. This oil is pressed from the fresh leaves of the Ravensara aromatica tree. It is known in its native Madagascar as the “tree with good leaves” because of its many health supportive benefits. Bio-Typed oils are pure and safe enough to be taken internally. When combined with the Bio-Typed plant oils of Thyme, Eucalyptus, and Clove, the formula actively kills yeast so that you can get back into balance quickly. However, you may need to stay on this formula for several months to make sure you have fully addressed the problem. I’d also encourage you to use a high quality probiotic daily, about 16 billion from a variety of probiotic species for more complete coverage. While the healthy bacteria do not actively kill yeast themselves, they do take up residence where yeast live, which keeps them from re-occupying their old neighborhood should another yeast overgrowth occur. Use these two together, limit grains in your diet, and you will be surprised at how much better you will feel. Healthy regards! Terry . . . Naturally
