Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 Hi everyone. I have two questions for you wise people. First of all, is it okay to mix the total nutrition powder in apple cider vinegar to drink? I usually drink about 1 Tablespoon of ac vinegar (Braggs) in a cup of warm water-and this morning I mixed my total nutrition powder with it. I just want to make sure the acid didn't do something weird to the herbs. Also, I am pregnant (due LAST Friday) and battling a skin yeast rash under my breasts and in my groin area. I have never had this problem before, rarely (like once every few years) get vaginal yeast infections. Does this rash mean I am yeasty systemically now? Or could it be simply from the pregnancy hormones/stress and it is getting warmer here in Texas, therefore more " moist " areas? I have used a 50-50 solution of apple cider vinegar and water 2-3 times a day and followed it (after dried) with a cornstarch based powder that has tea tree and grapefruit seed extract in it. Then I read that cornstarch could possibly feed the yeast-is this true??? So, now I'm just using the vinegar solution and added some drops of tea tree to that. Any ideas/suggestions/comments would be SO greatly appreciated!! I do want to get this under control before the baby comes. Thank you all so much, as always, for your time!

A 9% or 10% Tea Tree Oil / Jojoba Oil blend should help nicely. That's 9% Tea Tree Oil and 91% Jojoba Oil shaken and blended together. Because of your pregnancy I wouldn't get too up tight about the Yeast aspects as it could very well be hormone related as well. Best bet is to up your garlic intake and make sure you're not getting anything with white sugar or white flour in it. Drink lots of freshly squeezed organic juices and you should straighten around.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Thank you so much Doctor for your reply. The total nutrition mixed with apple cider vinegar (1Tbs in a glass of warm water) doesn't taste great-but I don't mind it. I find myself kind of craving that "green" taste of the total nutrition powder. I was mixing it with cold organic apple juice, and honestly that didn't taste an awful lot better! I do drink one in the morning and one in the afternoon, so I split my total nutrition servings up to 1 TBS per drink. Also, thank you for the tip on the yeast. I will mix some tea tree and jojoba up tomorrow. I am glad to hear that it probably isn't a big systemic problem, but more likely due to hormones. That is what I feel instinctively as well. Thanks again for your time! Blessings, Kristina "Ian Shillington N.D." wrote: See answers below.
