Male Yeast Infection although not as prevalent as in females, males can also have yeast infections. It is harder to diagnose yeast infection in men. So sometimes it is detected very late and patients suffer a lot. Yeast infection is a very prevalent condition that causes extreme irritation and also affects our social life by making us uncomfortable from within. As a practicing therapist, I have seen many such cases and advised many of a patient what I believe is strong antibiotics do more harm than good in these cases. I recommend simple home remedies for males. Here are some of the yeast infection remedies that I have found to be useful for men.
Cold coconut oil:
It can be bought as pills or as liquid form or sometimes as extra virgin coconut oil in medical stores. I have observed that although it is a mild agent, it is very effective against yeast infection and it successfully kills of the fungus.
Colon cleansing:
Yeast and other such fungus thrive in acidic conditions of the bowel. So going for a colon cleansing once in a while to detoxify the body is what I advise to men and I have seen its efficacy over a period of time. While going for the cleansing, you should also take care of the diet and avoid all kinds of dairy products as well as spicy foods.

Apart from these above, men can also apply the items that have been mentioned below for females. Especially garlic is very effective in all cases and consuming yoghurt or buttermilk regularly also strengthens your immunity.
Natural sugar free Yoghurt is a very effective yeast infection remedy, It is because the friendly bacteria found in yoghurt can kill off the yeast in the affected area.
Apple cider vinegar is very effective against yeast infection but I have noticed that it is too strong to be used directly as it burns the skin. I advise warm baths with a few drops of vinegar in it and it really works.
I often tell my patients to consume a clove of garlic a day to stay away from ailments. It has many medicinal properties and you also paste it and apply externally. It is a very effective anti fungal agent and so bear with the pungent odour and let it kill off the yeast.
Tea Tree Oil & Oil of Oregano are two more easily available items that can be directly applied on the effected area and which have proven to be excellent yeast infection remedies. I have also found a mix of olive leaf extract and grape seeds extract with water to be very effective against yeast infection if you drink it often enough.

I would like to tell you about an “opportunistic pathogen” that lives in almost everyone and is just waiting for a chance to sink its nasty tendrils into us and literally suck the life right out of us. (Here is a microscopic view of it.)
Candida Albican under the microscope
If that sounds a bit like a bad science fiction movie it is. But unfortunately it is true. Ask any doctor and he will tell you that everyone has some “yeast” in their system. But this isn’t nice friendly yeast like bakers use. This is an entirely different variety called Candida Albicans.
The second major step in my conquering Geographic Tongue came from being able to get rid of the yeast that was taking over my body and making me sensitive to mold and giving me food allergies that I’d never had before ( and don’t have anymore). Yeast was also giving me an overall feeling of “unwellness” and being run-down. I had a severe case and most people don’t have it anywhere near this bad but when your body has to constantly compete for nutrients with a whole colony of parasites, just getting out of bed is exhausting. (This can be an issue with some people who have fibromyalgia.)
Candida is normally kept in check by the “good bacteria” that lives in your gut. This “good bacteria” is things like Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and Bifidus all of which are used to make yogurt. So in a normal healthy digestive system these bacteria are waging constant warfare against the Candida Albicans army and generally keep their populations in check.
But in the modern diet, we eat too much sugar, too little yogurt and take antibiotics and in various other ways lend aid and comfort to the enemy.
You see, while antibiotics kill the germs that are making us sick they also kill off the good bacteria living in our gut while the yeast simply hibernate in their nice safe spores and once the danger of the antibiotics is over the yeast comes back stronger than ever. And this time the good bacteria are weak (or gone). So the yeast takes over and multiplies and prevents proper digestion, decreases our natural defenses, and causes all kinds of sensitivities, allergies, and discomfort. If the yeast takes over your tongue it is called “Thrush”, but it can take over almost any part of your body including any moist area from between your toes to your “private parts” and baby’s bottoms ( in this case it is a form of “diaper rash”).
The problem with yeast is that because of its spore nature, it is very difficult to kill and without its natural enemies it will always come back and cause difficulties in digestion, nutrient absorption and a weakened immune system.
So what does this have to do with Geographic Tongue?
Well, as I said in the last letter, yeast and Geographic Tongue often go hand-in-hand. That is why in my book Healthy Tongue Secrets, I included a chapter on Yeast. In the book, I showed how it can mutate into a “mycelial” form with root-like tentacles which imbed themselves into the lining of the digestive system including the mouth and tongue. And If you try to scrape them off the tongue or mouth, it will leave a raw, red patch.
So in addition to getting enough nutrients through your diet and supplementation you need to be sure your digestive system is healthy and you are actually absorbing the nutrients you are taking in.
You need a proper balance of good “healthy bacteria” happily living in your gut promoting good digestion and keeping the bad guys at bay. If you have a craving for sugar, sensitivities to things like mold, food allergies, a white or grey coating on your tongue (or other places), a tendency toward fungal infections like “jock itch”, ring worm, or athlete’s foot and a variety of other “little” annoyances there is a very good chance that yeast is contributing to your problem and by getting it under control it will go a long way toward eliminating these annoyances and helping to resolve your tongue issues as well.
Last time I told you I am not a doctor and can only tell you what I’ve found to be true through my own experience and through the experience of the hundreds of people I have had the chance to talk to through the writing of my book. Next time I will tell you, Why Doctors make me so mad!
