Vaginal, intestinal, or throat (thrush) yeast infections commonly occur while people are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy because antibiotics destroy most of the good bacterial flora that resist infections. Many of the supplements recommended for diarrhea, such as SB, lactobacillus acidophilus, tanabit, and berberine-containing plants, such as goldenseal or bayberry, are also excellent treatments for yeast infections. Specific herbs to consider for fungal infections include usnea, spylanthes, and propolis. |

For vaginal infections, there are a number of herbal suppositories sold in health food stores. I often recommend Earth's Harvest products (see Resources) because they offer a variety of suppositories for this condition, including those that contain essential oils, goldenseal, and soothing and astringent plant extract. Boric acid suppositories also work well for some. |

Just imagine the increased load of toxins the body confronts when dealing with cancer and conventional cancer therapies. The importance of elimination in the healing process is obvious. And yet, constipation is a common problem with cancer patients. Many pain medications and some chemotherapies cause sluggishness and constipation. The entire digestive system, the key to restoring vitality, suffers. Diet can play a major role in restoring proper bowel function. |
