hi Dave,

my ent put me on prescription meds for thrush... as the meds were ending, my pharmacist suggested a mouthwash with hydroperoxide. during a several week period, i saw continued improvement.. so i extended the treatment on a daily basis and over the next couple of months, my thrush problem effectively was gone. i have continued using the mouthwash,,, however i took a couple of weeks break and perhaps the thrush started to return... so i have gone back to using the mouthwash daily and plan to stay with it.

the mouthwash is sometimes available at my pharmacy. i have not been able to find it at other locations around town. because my pharmacy often is out of stock and has delays restocking, i have ordered a case from the producer and it has been delivered to my home as expected.

as a non-chemist, dumb head... i speculate that thrush is a fungus and likes a reducing environment... the oxygen from hydrogen-peroxide upsets the reducing environment - so bye bye thrush.

cu,
