Hi Michele, I am sure that an overgrowth of yeast is in part to your birth control pill for 15 years...(I think that's how long you were on them) Antibiotics, and bc pills really imbalance us. Try googling Christiane Northrup (MD) she uses alot of eastern philosophies within her allopathic education. Chi is Chinese for energy... I am trying acupuncture next week--for the first time. I will let you know how it is...not bad for someone with a phobia of needles. Apparently it doesn't hurt. Eastern medicine tend to look at humans as "wholes" rather than parts as Western medicine. If you haven't examined this before, I think you have a good chance at better health. The yeast diet takes a while...esp. if you have had the overgrowth for quite some time. Dr Northrup has some good readings and explanations of symptoms, diet etc. I encourage you to check it out. I am rooting for you, girl!
