this link seems fairly good:

http://www.womhealth.org.au/factsheets/thrush.htm

hmm... maybe the cheese cures via wishful thinking? dunno... still, seems to work for me...

there was something there about 'preventative treatment' for people who have a recurrent problem...

also about maybe taking tablets just incase the origin is in the colon or intestines or wherever in which case localised treatment would only get rid of the symptom for a time...

and...

it talks about a couple of other things which are similar (could be one of those spazkatt)

i had one of those once... only found out because the over the counter med didn't work. broad spectrum antibiolic did it though (and i didn't get thrush that time lol)
