What do you think of using Apple Cider Vinegar and/or White Vinegar to combat the yeast/bacteria that stop growth? Is anyone doing this? I wanted the benefit of MN without the health risk/worry. I read that the raw version of ACV is the effective type to kill the bad microbes. I also read it stimulates growth. I just bought Bragg's ACV with the "mother" and I'm going to try to keep an extremely clean scalp with it and wash often.

Apple-cider vinegar (with the mother)
Apple-cider vinegar has many health benefits (including aiding in weight loss) and can be used both internally and externally, as well. However, it is very strong, so it is not recommended that you apply it directly on the skin. It will kill the yeast, but it will burn like nothing you've ever felt! The best external application is to add about a cup of it into your bathwater and take a nice hot bath. This will feel very relaxing and soothing and will help temporarily. I don't find it as effective long-term, however, as the garlic suppositories. They provide full-day relief.
The type of vinegar I recommend is Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, with the Mother. It is important that it have the mother, as this is more natural and less processed. Never use plain, white vinegar! This actually feeds the yeast instead of killing it.

White Vinegar:
Dealing with a yeast infection can be both frustrating and uncomfortable. Many women end up dealing with vaginal yeast infections, although other manifestations of these infections do occur as well. If you are suffering from a yeast infection, there are many different home remedies out there that can really help. One of the best ideas for treating your infection at home is to use white vinegar for yeast infection.
--- But the ACV site says White Vinegar will feed the yeast... I'll have to do some more research...
