| | vaginal yeast infection |
 | | most of us treat a yeast infection by running to the drugstore, handing $20 to our corporate masters, and walking around miserable for days with disgusting slime dribbling down between our legs, not even sure if what we have is really a yeast infection. | | | well, to my mind, the conventional treatment of vaginal yeast infections is a nutshell of what's wrong with the way our society deals with wimmin's health issues. | | | i want to point out right away that if you are offended by blunt, uncensored talk; have no sense of humor about female problems; or are looking only for corporate-sponsored, FDA-approved information about yeast infections; you've come to the wrong place. |
