StudentHerbal Information is desired for treatment for Lactobacillus overgrowth instead of using doxycycline. The test results were 50,000 to 100,000 ppm in the urine sample of my sister. She does not prefer doxycycline and would like an herbal remedy or more natural remedy. She also has a skin rash on her face that was tested for bacteria and test results were negative. Her skin on her face was very itchy and had small postules. Her skin was treated with a sulfur wash and an antibiotic gel and the rash has improved over the last week. Itching is not as bad and the skin on her face is not as red. Has anyone experienced this and had success with treating these conditions with herbal or natural remedies?

StudentCan Lactobacillus overgrowth contribute to systemic candida? I have a relative who has been dealing with systemic candida for more than 25 years now. He had been
to so many conventional docs and none of them could help him. All the chemical meds made him extremely ill. He has been doing a natural protocol for over a year now and sees little improvement. He is also dealing with the MTHFR gene and doesn’t detox well. I am trying to find any information to help him. Thank you!

StudentIs this a urinary tract infection? I’ve used 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. powdered D-mannose for several days with good results. It’s useful for preventing bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall. Unsweetened cranberry juice might also help. LOTS of fluids to flush the bacteria out. Stay off sugar until it’s gone.
I have not had that particular type of rash, but a fair share of other skin problems. It could be a lack of nutrition, a food sensitivity, candida overgrowth, hives, allergy to a personal care product, etc. so trial and error is needed without a specific diagnosis. Diluted black walnut tincture or tea tree essential oil tried on a small patch might help you determine if it’s fungal. Eating foods that help the skin, such as homemade bone broth (not boiled too hot so that it still gels when cold), taking daily Vit C, adding quercetin to depress allergic reactions are some ideas that come to mind. A salve with echinacea, comfrey, plantain and yarrow would be a band-aid, but not a long term solution.
