MY DEAR KARLA,

HAVE YOU TRIED GENTIAN VIOLET??? MY SON HAD THRUSH SO BAD AS A BABY AND THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS THIS. IT TASTE LIKE PURE @%$* BUT IT DOES THE TRICK. I HAVE USED IT ONCE WHEN I THOUGHT I'D BE SMART AND TRY TO MAKE SOME HOMEMADE WINE AND THE YEAST GOT ALL OVER MY MOUTH....LOL...THAT'S ANOTHER STORY, BUT YOU CAN GET IT AT MOST PHARMACIES, IT COST ABOUT $2.00 AND IT WORKS. YOU TAKE A Q-TIP AND DOUSE IT IN THERE AND PUT IT ALL OVER YOUR GUMS, MOUTH, DOWN YOUR THROAT, ANYWHERE YOU CAN REACH AND IT KILLS IT WITHIN ABOUT 3 DAYS. YOU USE IT TWO OR THREE TIMES A DAY. IT'S AN OLD TIME REMEDY THAT AN OLDER DOCTOR TOLD ME ABOUT FOR MY SON AND IT WORKS!!! YOU WILL HAVE A PURPLE MOUTH FOR THE DURATION AND YES, IT STAINS REALLY BAD, SO DON'T GET IT ON YOUR FACE, HANDS, CLOTHES, ETC...OR YOUR SINK!!!!! IT WILL EVINTUALLY WEAR OFF IN A DAY OR SO. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED....THIS WILL HELP. IT DOES HAVE 10% ALCOHOL IN IT, BUT YOU DON'T DRINK THE STUFF. AND ON THE BOTTLE IT SAYS THAT YOU DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH, BUT A DOCTOR TOLD ME TO AND IT DID WORK FOR ME WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECTS.

LOVE AND STILL PRAYING FOR YOU, TONYA FLEMING
