It isn't bogus. I had chronic vaginal yeast infections that would go away
with cream but reappear in about 2 weeks. I had been on 3 rounds of
antibiotics for a resistant sinus infection and my husband had been on
amoxicillin also for a sinus infection. After six months of this, I went
to a gynecologist who had me culture my husband seminal fluid. After 7
days incubation he had quite a bit of yeast growth (it was confirmed by
the lab). A round of Nizerol for him cleared both of us.
