Using Hydrogen and Oxygen for Your Yeast Infection




What if I were to tell you that the way for you to cure your yeast infection and to get rid of a lot of other melodies that we may be experiencing is as simple as drinking a glass of water? you might be surprised to learn that one of the main reasons why we have yeast infections and many other ailments is because we are dehydrated. As a matter of fact, many of us have been walking around dehydrated for the majority of our lives and the fact that we are having problems with our body is simply a way of it trying to tell us to drink more water.

In order to clear up your yeast infection, you are going to need to fully hydrate your body and to keep it hydrated for an extended period of time. The way that you do it is actually quite simple to understand but putting it into practice is something that many of us find difficult. The reason why this is the case is because we tend to drink far too much coffee, sugary drinks and tea instead of simply drinking a glass of water. In order to get yourself hydrated, you need to drink half of your body weight converted ounces of water every day. For a 200 pound man, that would be 100 ounces of water.

You are also going to need to take a little bit of salt with the water. Although many doctors will tell you that salt is the enemy, in actuality it is something that brings balance to our bodies. What is the first thing that they give you whenever you are severely injured? It is a bag of saline, or salt water. Taking too much salt without drinking water is harmful to your body the same as drinking too much water without taking salt. The salt simply allows the water to stay in your body long enough for it to do its job and hydrate you.

Once you are fully hydrated, you will begin to notice many different things happening to your body. One of the nice things about it, however, is the fact that a balance is going to be brought back to your internal system that will help you to fight off any yeast infections that you may have naturally. That will make any effort that you have to put into it well worth your while.

Can you get a yeast infection from toilet water popping back up at you when you go number 2?

i know this is kinda nasty but i was wondering if this can happen because when i go number two no matter how hard i try water always pops back up at me and i feel soo nasty! and now i believe i have a yeast infection, could it be from the nasty toilet water?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

1) No, yeast infections by used toilet water are not known and appear to be highly unlikely.

2) Always flush the toilet before starting your business, so the water popping up is clean.

3) Always put some paper onto the water surface to avoid water popping up. This works brilliantly. Sometimes you have to re-cover the surface after the first poop, though.

4) I agree it is disgusting to have used water pop up. I try to avoid this under all circumstances.

Hydrogen peroxide for yeast infection


Whether you believe it or not, the use of hydrogen peroxide for yeast infection treatment has been proven to be true and quite effective. Vaginal yeast infection is among the more common conditions that women experience. In fact, according to statistics, about 75% of all women will be affected by the infection at some point. It may already be considered as an ordinary condition so don’t be alarmed. You’re not the only one who has the infection and certainly you will not be the last one.
Microorganisms that live on human skin and in the digestive track are the primary cause of yeast infection. Called Candida albicans, these microorganisms are naturally occurring and lives on the skin and inside your vagina. They are usually in small numbers, however some stimuli would trigger an overgrowth of Candida causeing the body to react resulting to an infection accompanied by itching, redness, irritations, and white or yellowish discharge.
Vaginal yeast infection is highly treatable so you don’t have to be overly concern. There are already a number of commercially available drugs which are quite effective in treating yeast infection. Home remedies also are quite good if you know what you’re doing. Hydrogen peroxide in particular is an easy home made solution to your yeast infection problems.
Just like Candida albicans hydrogen peroxide is already present in the vaginal areas. It’s already there working its best in putting the yeast infectious microorganism at bay. However, due to certain conditions, the environment in the area becomes suddenly favorable to the growth of Candida. Hydrogen peroxide generally helps eliminate bacteria and fungal infections. It is a natural enemy of Candida and thus can be utilized fully as a treatment procedure for the infection.
Since our body produces only very little hydrogen peroxide, you can help by purchasing commercially available ones in the local supermarket or in your neighborhood pharmacy. What you can do is mix a teaspoon of ordinary 3% hydrogen peroxide to a cup of water and apply it on the affected areas. Because hydrogen peroxide is produced naturally by the body, the chemical does not harm your vagina or the general health of your body.
What makes hydrogen peroxide very effective against Candida is the fact that peroxides breaks down into water and oxygen upon application. The oxygen helps the chemical application kill the fungal yeast infection. You need to be careful, however, when creating your own mix of hydrogen peroxide treatment solution. Too much hydrogen peroxide in the solution can cause a burning sensation in the affected areas. This burning sensation may likely to occur especially if the area has been inflamed or the infection is already quite serious.
A teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide on a cup of water seems to be an okay and safe mix. So far no bad reactions or complaints have been noted against this mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water for treating yeast infection.
You need to understand, however, the using the mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water is not meant to be a sole treatment solution for yeast infection. Natural remedies like this one is more effective when combined with other forms of treatment like proper diet and the use of other treatment techniques like the use of garlic paste, yogurt, and cider vinegar and water mix.
Other times, the condition might have reached an already critical stage that hydrogen peroxide for yeast infection treatment is no longer advisable. You need to consult a doctor and employ several other methods of treatment to cure your yeast infections.

  • Hydrogen peroxide does kill the bad germs, but it also kills the good bacteria, which will delay healing time. I work in a hospital, and we use betadine to clean wounds. It's painless and does an even better job.

  • Hydrogen Peroxide is a good way for cleaning cuts and abrasions but, can damage live skin surrounding the wound. So use it to clean a wound but do not soak in it.

  • It is fine for small cuts and abrasions. It is not recomended for deep puncture wounds. It can delay healing and push any particales further into a deep puncture wound. Washing the wound out with water and using bactine is a much better choice. By keeping the wound moist with bactine for a few day will also give you less of a scar.

  • It is both,
    It kills skin cells, but it also kills bacteria.

    Personally soap and water works the best, yeah it burns like heck but you also dont damage skin cells with hydrogen peroxide.

  • Peroxide is not good to put on cuts. It is very harsh, and it helps with the dead tissue, but also harms the healthy tissue. My mom used to use it all the time on my cuts, nothing really bad has ever happened to me. But i work at a vet clinic, and we NEVER use peroxide to clean cuts, we will use a sugical scrub. Since you don't have surgical scrub, try just using an antibacterial soap.

  • It is good on cuts and abrasions. As far as it being damaging and not good....it could be due to allergic reactions that some people have (like me, hydrogen peroxide makes me break out)...or maybe it's in reference to it's level of toxicity if taken internally. If you're still hesitant about peroxide, then use rubbing alcohol or neosporin.

  • Hydrogen peroxide is good for abrasions. It helps to cleanse and purify as well as kill bacteria. It can be harmful if you use it excessively or in your mouth excessively. It is not true that it is damaging. Why would my doctor recommend that i use peroxide if it is damaging? he is a family friend so i trust him.
