Bacteria can too easily develop resistence to man-made antibiotics because the antibiotics are too simple. So it takes stronger antibiotics each time to take care of the problem. Your body will build up an immunity to these antibiotics and they will stop working altogether. They may have, considering how many antibiotic you have been taking. You need a natural antibiotic. They are more comlex and outsmart the bacteria that have so easily figured out man's simple antibiotic secret.
*A note about GARLIC
Penicillin has one chemical constituent and that is Penicillin. Garlic has at least 35 constituents. They "potentiate, enhance, and mitigate each other's effects inside the human body." That's like taking 35 medications in one! Learn more about garlic here: http://www.bulkherbstore.com/GM
Here are some natural remedies that are known to treat yeast infections.
**APPLE CIDER BATH- Sit in a tub of water with Apple Cider Vinegar poured in it. This one is good, too, for children who get yeast from antibiotics. Do this for 10-15 minutes daily. Twice a day if possible. Sitting longer will not hurt-it's natural.
**GARLIC DOUCHE: Blend 1 or 2 cloves of garlic in blender with 1 cup water. Strain and add enough water to make 1 quart of solution. Douche as usual.
**GARLIC SUPPOSITORY: Insert a garlic CAPSULE (not tablet, not caplet) into vagina at night. The gelatin coating will dissolve and disperse the garlic. (I've heard of some women inserting a peeled clove of garlic into the vagina - I would if it came to that)
**ACIDOLPHILUS DOUCHE or CAPSULE inserted at night (can get capsules at Walmart and other drug stores)
**COMFREY Tea Douche
**HYDROGEN PEROXIDE DOUCHE- Hydrogen Peroxide is produced naturally by bacteria in your vagina and kills yeast. If the bacteria aren't doing enough by themselves, try mixing 1 teaspoon of ordinary 3% hydrogen peroxide from your market or pharmacy with 1 cup of water. Use as a douche once a day until the day after your symptoms disappear.
**Note: I do not recommend douching on a regular basis-only when there is a medical need. Caution should be taken when douching. Keep the bag below your pelvis and exert only slight pressure, as really strong pressure might drive the solution up through the cervix into the uterus. Likewise, be careful when inserting and removing the nozzle, as damage to the vaginal walls can lead to more serious yeast or bacterial infections.
*Eat yogurt to replace the good bacteria that the antibiotics have destroyed (that is one reason why the infection comes back).
*Sugar can feed yeast, so you may want to monitor your sugar intake as well.

Why? You may have a genetic predisposition, or you may be wearing the wrong panties (look for cotton crotches) or too-tight pants, or your diet may be having an effect on your yeast infections. Or, if they are happening every few weeks, you may not actually be getting rid of the infections because perhaps the medicine isn't strong enough. Or, perhaps you've been misdiagnosed and your problem is not yeast infections at all. Please talk to your doctor, because recurrent and almost constant yeast infections are not normal. He/she should be willing at this point to explore an alternate approach to solving your problems.

quite simply because of your diet. the 2 things that make an infection worse are: sugar and yeasts. If you cut both of them out for a fortnight you will often see excellent results. Unfortunatly they are both in a LOT of foods, lookup "anticandida diet" online for recipes and food lists. But basically most breads, pastas, fruits, candies, etc are out. Some health shop sell yeast and sugar free breads that you will be able to have. A naturopath will know all about this and can tailor a program for you.

Have you considered that your parner is re-infecting you?
If not, perhaps it is not an infection after all and no amount of prescriptions is going to clear it.
Personally I always have excessive discharge when I am anemic and I need to get my iron levels up to combat it. Maybe a blood test at would clarify wether you are in need of some iron tablets or other iron treatment.
