Chronic Candidiasis, Skin Problems, Fatigue: How I Healed Myself with Oregano Oil

I had long suspected that I was plagued by the yeast Candida albicans. I could tell this from the chronic yeast infections, skin infections (such as itchy acne) and the strange cognitive fogging that I'd been experiencing for a while. While not life-threatening, these symptoms were certainly bothersome and even depressing. I constantly wondered, "What's wrong with me? Why don't I feel as energetic, clear-headed and healthy as I used to?"

I tried going to the dermatologist for my skin problems, and she gave me courses of antibiotics. I wasn't sure that I wanted to do this since it seemed to be harsh, but she assured me that taking antibiotics for acne was common. Well, I realize now that many people resort to this because they trust doctors and doctors prescribe antibiotics because it's easy to do so. They must not take into account the horrible side effects! Sure, my acne went away temporarily, but after my rounds of antibiotics, they came back with full vengeance, along with hair loss, worsening of fatigue, and ultimately, a further proliferation of skin infections. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I didn't want to continue suffering and I certainly wasn't going to give my money to doctors so that they can be careless with my health.

I began to take probiotics in the hopes that the friendly bacteria I was flooding my body with would take over the "bad guys" that had developed in my gut. Expecting miraculous results (I was, after all, taking a high quality supplement from Jarrow Formulas), I waited. And I waited. And I saw no improvement in my symptoms, even after several months of persisting in taking the probiotics.

I then came to the conclusion that whatever force had infested me would continue to infest and annihilate my intestinal flora as long as it was allowed to exist. I then decided that I would have to take measures to destroy the Candida albicans, and then supplement my intestines with healthy flora.
