A 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda is added to about 1/2 glass of water in H2O2 1% is used as a gargle and the solution is weak. However, if 1/4 teaspoon is used and not to be used as a gargle, is to take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water, taken internally twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Once the body has sufficiently alkalinity, generally the growth of thrush would be less.

If a stronger solution is desired, and it is to be gargled, a 1/2 tablespoon in 1/2 glass of 1% H2O2 might be better.

Actually, the best thrush remedy is 1/2 tablespoon of borax in a 1% H2O2 solution of 1/2 glass, stirred with a plastic spoon. The thrush is a fungus or yeast and a borax dissolved in H2O2 1% seems to work best. This is done about 3-5 times so that it can kill the thrush once in the morning.

Other remedies that is helpful for thrush includes 5 drops of lugol's or iodine tincture in 1/2 glass of water to be used as a gargle.

Finally a unique remedy against the thrush, that seems to work for me too is 1 tablespoon of pure xylitol dissolved in 1/2 glass of water and it is to be slipped slowly and taken internally so that the xylitol kills off the thrush.

A xylitol actually have some antifungal properties too, although in practice I also take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water too, since the xylitol may cause the body to be slightly acidic and the baking soda will neutralize that.

Some selenium supplements 200 mcg taken once a day for five days out of a week also have some anti fungal properties too.

Question: 1.) How long do you do this treatment for

2). Does this fungus eventually shows back up
