I have recurrent yeast infection for a while. It has been very troublesome and really affecting my life.. I've switched birth control pills, used different kind of OTC and prescription cream. It just keeps coming back..

After having 2 UTI, I thought... "am I dehydrated?"

I follow vegetarian diet, eat mainly organic food, I don't eat processed food, BUT.. I don't really drink water.

It has been a big issue for me because I just hate drinking something that is tasteless. However, I started forcing myself to drink water, 2L a day.
I know I just will not refill my glass for a 2nd cup of water so I bought 1.5L and 2L bottles of water and bring it with me to work everyday.

What to do you know... all infections are gone! never came back!
I am going to continue on doing this hoping it will improve my skin (suffering from eczema).

I didn't know dehydration would do so much to our body.
Well, now I know

I start with a large glass of warm water in the morning right after I get up, but I add squeezed lemon and just a pinch of stevia to make it a bit sweet. I don't get yeast infections, but I generally feel better if I drink lots of water.

That is exactly the right thing to do. I drink green tea with lemon daily to wash that gunk right through me. The lemons the cure all. Well not to all but it sure has kept me in pretty good working order for that issue.

Dr. Brad Weeks on Whidbey Island

Weeks can be reached at 360-341-2303 and www.weeksmd.com 

His philosophy - organic food & water

What Dr Brad Weeks says makes sense to me:

Drink enough good water to keep your urine clear (not yellow); but don't drink a lot of fluid with meals as it dilutes the digestive forces. This can be trying at first as you will initially feel bloated, but it will prove very beneficial if you persevere.

In addition to these Note: this prescription for water does NOT include coffee, tea and pop which, though liquid, are in fact dehydrating fluids; Warning: soda pop and seltzer with its carbonation and phosphate levels is an important risk factor for developing osteoporosis!

Drink WATER! Prescription for Vitality: Here is the strategy that works!

Plant four 16 ounce bottles of water in four strategic places and GULP them down. No sipping. Gulp them like your life depended upon it (it does!) and place them as follows: 1st bottle at your bedside. Your feet don't touch the floor until it is consumed.

2nd bottle is at the sink where you brush your teeth in the AM before breakfast. Again - no leaving the bathroom until you finish this!

3rd bottle is wherever you are at 10 AM.

4th bottle is wherever you are at 4 PM.

Only sip fluids after 4 PM to avoid being up to urinate at night.

Only sip fluids with meals to avoid diluting digestive juices
