Strange success in killing off Thrush

The plot thickens.  Following the web tracks on Bioxtra, I stumbled into many sites on dry mouth.  Biotene and Bioxtra used to be very similar products, including the funky stuff like 'bovine colostrum whey'.  In 2014 Biotene was bought out by Glaxo, and there after it was reformulated and all the funky natural enzyme stuff was removed.  There was a fairly instant revolt by Biotene users, and all the reviews turn uniformly bad.  But, Glaxo is huge, and did the typical marketing push of samples to oncols, who distribute the samples to the suffering masses.

There was an interesting study done by a hospital in Baltimore which double-blinded Biotene and a placebo as a treatment for Thrush.  Biotene won.  There was also comparison of Biotene and Nystatin, which Nystatin won, but Biotene was identified as an economical alternative.  I relied on that for my treatment, and was doing heavy, almost hourly, Biotene baths.  I was seeing some progress, but it was glacial.  That was puzzling because I had hoped for something instant.  After I found the info on the formulation change I went back and looked, and the Baltimore study pre-dates the change.  I'm speculating, but I think what Biotene does now is try to push the mouth PH towards acid, it just doesn't do it as well.  Funky enzymes matter.  

Significantly, the Isfahan study reports the Bioxtra also increases mouth acidity, and does it better than Biotene.  That is rather comforting because my kid the ER doc told me to increase acidity, and it turns out he actually knows what he's talking about (seventh grade Algebra homework was a struggle of Stalingrad proportions, memory of which lingers.  There were other misdemeanors).  He also told me to use disposable toothbrushes, and as the Bioxtra began to work, the mold turned to muuush, and came off en masse.  I would suggest spending a bit more than minimum for brushes.  Something softer...

Today, four days after I started the Bioxtra offensive, my tongue is CLEAN.  I taste everything, and I like it.  I am also doing Diflucan/Fluconazole and have completed about 20 days of that, so keep that factor in mind.  

I am waiting on more disposable toothbrushes because it is going to take some scrubbing to get the rest.  My Candida extends down my throat, and covers the roof of my mouth.  I have found it takes DIRECT application of the goo on to my remaining patches of mold.  Proximity and general environment doesn't seem to be enough.   That means I am applying it to my finger and rubbing it on my tongue waaay down my throat.  Good times.  But, my swelling has now dropped way down, and I can actually reach down my throat.  So many new experiences...
