you can still catch the mini-segments: Birth Orgasms: Women Speak Out - Is it possible to have an orgasm during childbirth? Women Who Prefer Home Birth - For some, delivering a healthy child doesn"t involve a trip to the hospital. [Note - the associated article says, "Modern medicine means not having to go through childbirth alone." It"s more accurate to say "Responsible modern medicine means reserving risky interventions for when the benefits outweigh the risks." I know lots of responsible women who give birth at home with the perfect birth team . . . their partner, their midwife and their doula. They are definitely not alone, and they have all the medical assistance they need, just like a woman giving birth with a midwife in a hospital!

I just finished typing up all this info about candidia for another list and thought I would pass it on in the hopes that it could help your or someone you know.
The book that I am referring to for the information is called: The Yeast Connection Handbook ISBN# 0-933478-24-0 by William G. Crook, MD, recommends: "A sugar-free special diet and nonprescription antiyeast agents may help control yeast overgrowth if your health problems are mild and of short duration. Yet, if you're troubled by a moderate to severe yeast-related disorder, I strongly recommend a therapeutic trial of one or more of the prescription medications." He recommends Nystatin oral powder the most due to it's safety and effectiveness along with diet and other therapies to rebuild your health.
From the book: Everyone should get this book if their health problems are yeast connected . . . If you:
Men and children also develop yeast-related problems, especially
those who take many antibiotic drugs or steroids.
Common symptoms in Male adults:
Other complaints and illnesses in adults of both sexes that sometimes
may be yeast-related, include:
"I'm not saying that the common yeast, candida albicans, is *the*
cause of all of these problems. Yet, candida may be one of the causes-even
a major cause- of these and other health problems." This book also has
a yeast questionnaire, case studies, and a 10 step program to regain your
health. Info on diets, medications, other therapies that may help and even
sugar-free, yeast-free recipes. He also goes into each of the above
symptoms in greater depth with a separate chapter for women; men; young
children and infants; and older children and teens. Well, I gone this far...I
might as well tell you what the steps are:
