Fungal skin infection?

[brydee]

Hi everyone,

i have done two tests over the past couple of days and defo have systemic candida, i know there are already a few posts on this already so wanted to post another one about my skin. I have had a rash on my back chest arms,scalp sometimes face and legs for the past 6-7 years, iv been to see skin specialists and doctors but all but one could not figure out what it was. The one who thought it was a fungal rash didnt offer me a natural alternative and gave me a course of pills, that i researched when i got home and found out that they had been banned in some states in the USA as they had been KILLING people:eek: so i obviously didnt take them! i know that i need to beat the problem from the inside as i now know the problem is the candida, but is there anything SAFE,natural and topical i can put on my rash that may help, i have tried coconut oil, it makes my skin lovely and soft, but doesnt seem to do anything else, it also makes me itch, which may be it healing, but id rather use something that isnt going to drive me up the wall, iv also used lemon juice, and msm, i use salt scrubs...alot of things make my actual skin nice and soft but do not do anything to the rash.

The things i have found that help are the sun, but i do not have that on good supply seen as i live in dark wet damp yorkshire in the UK, i have used an at home solarium but that did not work hardly at all, apart from uplifting my mood.

One thing that helps alot but i really do not like or want to use is dare i say it ...FAKE TAN, something in fake tan appears to kill the buggers, but its not strong enough, but if i apply that everyday( i try not to think of the horrible chemicals and i'm pale anyway, so i dont look like an oompa loompa) it keeps it in control on my chest and legs, but not my arms or back and i dare not put it on my face because i would look like a match most probably.

Any tips appreciated! (i tried oil pulling for a couple of weeks, but my diet is abit all over the place and with my having candida i dont want to go into heavy detox symtoms if possible, i think oil pulling would do this?)

I have some par'darco in my cupboard, but as it puts alot of strain on the liver i dare not use it at the moment:(

Try putting apple cider vinegar on it. Or a cream with Urea in it. Or both.

[brydee]

Thanks julie,

I shall try that ..although with candida your told to avoid vinegar and fruit, i shall look up urea.

[juliebove]

Thanks julie,

Apple cider vinegar kills fungus.

[Coconutcutie]

Yes, Raw Apple Cider vinegar diluted in water and used as a toner after washing has completely cleared up the fungal rash on my face that I lived with for a long time. It really works!

[Jenifae]

Brydee,

I too am dealing with candida.........it took forever, to figure out what the heck was wrong with me. I've been on a candida diet taken from "Rainbow Live-Food Cuisine" by Dr. Gabriel Cousens and am already feeling better and getting some relief from some symptoms and I'm not even doing phase 1 - I'm doing phase 2. Hoping to move into phase 1 for a week or two or however long I can take it and maybe even go back and forth because, it's so restrictive. I'm doing better then I thought with giving up fruit and sugars. The itching is still there just not as severe. I found it interesting that you too "Itch from Coconut Oil" on the skin. WOW! Me too. I thought it was weird at first but, now I don't feel alone and it must be associated with the candida. Anyway, I have to be careful with the sun since, I"m fair. So, I"m working from the inside out - I suppose.

I wanted to tell you that according to Cousens.........Apple Cider Vinegar is what we can use and only ACV. So, the topical recommendation with that should be helpful - I'm gonna give it a try.

Cheers!
Jen

I have heard that if you have candida cutting out all fats: nuts, seeds etc and eating fruit will help. Have you read the book 80/10/10.

Diluted GSE (grapefruit seed extract) works wonders used topically and ingested ~ Cathy

[brydee]

Coconutcutie- That brilliant!so glad it worked for you!:) how long did it take you to do that before it started clearing? did you do it morning and night? and do you still do it to prevent it reappearing or has it not come back?

Jenifae- I dont have that book and dont have any spare money at the moment but will try to get it when i can. Maybe a silly question but what is worrying me about cutting out sugars is...dont we need them? i mean i know there are tiny amounts in vegetables and when we start cutting things out, can we not then build up a resistance to them in the future, or an allergy? I know that may sound extreme but i cant find much info about the after effects of cutting it out. Or is it the only solution? I watched a youtube clip of dr.whiting explaining about that cutting things out do not work, because as soon as we reintroduce them if the candida flares up again, then we were just masking or supressing the problem and he says that the answer is to up the oxygen level in your blood. Im really confused as to what to do, and im worried that i would not be able to stick with a raw diet if i had to cut out fruit( is this tomatoes also?) seeds and nuts... i mean i know i would for my health because this has totally wrecked my life to be honest and i'm very annoyed as i went to a doctor about it 5 years ago who laughed and said it didn't exist :mad: , if it is just candida i have and not another parasite , around the time i think i got candida( after i had an op because of meckel's diverticulum which i now find is a prime suspect with candida!) i developed severe anxiety, panic attacks,phobias, chronic fatigue,memory loss, 'head fog' dizzy, stomach problems( but i thought/think that is due to my op) muscle tone problems, skin rashes etc etc ...sorry to moan, but im just very annoyed at this point, that i have had to quit college a few times, be suicidal, unable to drive, no job at this point and recieving therapy and alcohol councelling ...which could of all never of happened if it wasnt for a doctor denying it exist( i know i cant totally blame someone else, but..its easy to!)...guess its all part of my journey though,least i now know what it is like you say with yourself :)
Maybe thats part of candida also? or just general...lol im fair also and i cannot stand to be in the sun or i just fall asleep coz it drains me that much i never burn either, but my rash gets a little better. I though GSE was also a good thing to use and garlic? does he not recommend that?
Sorry i'v written so much!

manash17-No i havnt read that book, might have a look when i have more money though. I dont want to try anything until im sure what i do is not going to make me worse and be beneficial!

Cathy- thanks will try! do you think this would be safe to use in conjunction with ACV?

What are everyones thoughts on the idea of totally cleaning your system of good and bad bacteria, starving your body of sugar and then reintroducing it, also the oxygen capsules or therapy..the idea to me doesnt seem natural and abit scary BUT candida overgrowth in your stomach blood stream and brain isnt either!
I just dont want to end up with something worse than when i started, i cant risk to be in worse health than i am now:(

[brydee]

Also does anyone in the UK know where abouts to buy cold pressed ACV and GSE? i cant find anywhere:confused:

[brydee]

Oh i also wondered if anyone has had any luck with Colloidal Silver?
And is there any supplements i shouldn't be taking?

[flyinion]

Candida from what I have read is essentially a type of parasite. You might look into a good parasite cleanse. I've just started the Humaworm cleanse a couple days ago. It's all herbs based of course and one of the ingredients listed is a walnut shell which is not only supposed to be powerful for killing parasites but also oxygenates the blood (one of the things you mentioned). I don't know what the other cleanses are made of so they may be different. Anyway I guess what I'm getting at is you probably want to look into a cleanse. It seems from what I've read that if you just do special diets for something like this (cutting things out) that you're only treating the symptoms and not the cause.

[Raw Angel Mom]

As you do your 100% raw diet, it will eventually go away. You probably have that too in your guts and you probably have leaky guts. I am no doctor but i am just going from logic. Meaning, how come those dudes would get out from your gut?

Try to get check for leaky guts too.

If you haven't quit Dairy, DO NOW. Bare with your diet and watch for the food combination especially with fruits. If you have gas, it means, you need to change something with your diet, such combination.

I would also consider to take therapeutic enzyme. They are known to heal our cell and also repair leaky guts. Yeast would do that and start to drill hole in our guts.

Now our emotions is the first one to check. Aren't you comfortable with your skin? I would recommend to get Louise Hay book, heal your life. Quite interesting what she said with different situation with our physical body.

While you are dealing with your skin and using the apple cider, don't forget that your guts need to be clean too and treated.

Hope you find what you need!

[NoGMO!]

one other suspect that has been connected with candida is mercury fillings..

don't know if you have mercury fillings, but I have read over and over that mercury toxicity from amalgams (fillings) creates an identical reaction as systemic candida, or else a compounded reaction... just a lead for your health search.

I still use the ACV as a toner on my face after washing as I like the way it makes my skin look and feel, and also because I don't want to find out if the fungal dermatitis will return...I started using it about 4 months ago. I think that it took about a week to completely eradicate the problem.

[brydee]

flyinion- Thanks, i agree! i may look into the Humaworm cleanse, will you tell me how it goes?

Raw Angel Mom- I've read on other forums that even people who are 100% raw have not managed to rid of systemic candida just by being 100%, i also thought that it would be enough until i read it on a few sites, i guess every person is different though.
On another post i wrote my whole medical history just about, but i had meckel's diverticulum and i still have problems with my stomach, my intestines had a piece taken out of them and then stitched back together, so it would of leaked into my blood stream around that time(i got told it was leaking acid, blood and alsorts:eek:). I think it started earlier though, the symptoms i have now, i cant remember exact dates but around 7-8 years ago whilst in mexico, i think i picked up a parasite,that is around when the rash started and i became ill with my stomach sometime after that, i know the diverticulum is seperate and its only as i have gotten older and got into researching that i have realised that i may have a seperate parasite and candida. I was younger so did not say anything at the time, but the doctors laughed at me on several occasions when i thought i may have a something wrong. i keep proving them wrong though!
Not sure how i do a check to see if i have a leaky gut now?
Im abit confused with the food combination thing, i just eat whatever i feel like, what should i REALLY not be eating together? yes i have BAAAADD gas, lol. I've been told this is because of my anxiety though, when the body goes into panic the digestive system shuts down, so whatever food i have in there is sat fermenting away, and as i have anxiety all day if im not at home... you get the idea.
Could you recommend a therapeutic enzyme? i dont really know much about them. i dont want drilling in my guts!

I have 3 of Louise Hays book, i think they are good, i have read them a few times...but...they never sink in! im not comfortable at all with my skin, i feel disgusting most the time and i cover it up around people.

Thanks for your input:)

NoGMO!- Thanks for the info, iv never had a filling in my life though..lucky me:D

Coconutcutie-thanks..a week!! thats brilliant!

So much to respond to. Well, I'm not a Dr. and I'm still learning and educating myself too. But, I feel pretty confident in what I have learned. Did you look at the website links?

Go to this one and take the Candida test to find out for yourself:
http://www.adhdrelief.com/CandidaTest.html

This one explains Candida well, it's from the GSE:
http://www.pureliquidgold.com/candida-diet.htm
(although, I dont' fully agree with the diet. I think you need to remove meat, dairy, starch, and fruit for temporary amount of time)

Leaky Gut:
http://www.pureliquidgold.com/leaky_gut_syndrome.htm

Digestive System:
http://www.pureliquidgold.com/digestive_system.htm

Food Combining Charts:
http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/foodcombining.html (my favorite one)
http://wiliweld.com/food/

So, with those out of the way for you. It is my interpretation that the only sure way to rid ourselves of candida is to remain on a strict diet for a short period of time in order to recover. I also, have read that if you have candida you are a good host for parasites. I kept treating myself for parasites and did 4 back to back parasite cleanse to only get temporary relief of symptoms. The problem is - is that I didn't stop fruit or raw deserts. Once, I've done that. I am feeling a 100% better for sure. I also, learned that the same herbs that fight parasites fight off candida. So, to do the candida diet and use parasite cleansing herbs would give you great results! :)
Not eating fruit has not been as hard as I thought it would be probably because, the pain of the symptoms outweighed the pang of desire for sweets. I also, lost cravings within a couple of days. For you it might be longer, not sure. We are all wired up a lil' differently.
I personally am following the diet (although, I did slip today on a soy mocha and yesterday on part of a soy mocha and bit of non-raw chocolate desert. The great news about it is it didn't set off major cravings :D yay! But, my stomach bloated out and I'm itching - yuck! not worth it.......back to determined discipline), taking GSE, Probiotics (highly recommended to replace healthy bacteria), digestive enzymes, and my normal herbs, vitamens. I will getting a parasite cleanse here soon also. Garlic and Onions are great to eat in your salads. I read somewhere to take a clove of garlic and swollow it like a pill. I actually might try that. I want to help it along to go Away!

Oh i also wondered if anyone has had any luck with Colloidal Silver?
And is there any supplements i shouldn't be taking?

Yes, I take this along with magnesium, silica, & oxygen.

Candida is a Yeast - bacteria-fungus! It is not a parasite but, makes for great hosting for parasites. They both feed off of Sugar & Starch. Fruit, Grains, Flours, Potatoes, Yams.........High sweet fruits and veggies. If you don't feed the candida and parasites - the candida and parasites will die off! If you take herbs that assist in killing off the candida and parasites all the better ;)

Sorry, for so long. Like I said I'm not an expert. Just sharing the knowledge I've gained up to this point and feel good about what I am learning and praciticing.

Yeah I guess it depends on point of view. If you see parasites as only the "big ole mean worms" then that's true. The site that I got my info from was classifying a range of things from the typical worm to microscopic level (70% of parasites being microscopic) and I guess since Candida/yeast lives off of us it's a type of parasite is what they're thinking. I was amazed to see what all kinds of symptoms this stuff causes with overgrowth. I mean I'd heard about leaky gut but all the others stuff body-wide is just nuts :eek:

I'm definitely liking the humaworm/humacleanse products so far. I can tell they're definitely doing things, but I'm not stuck living in the bathroom either which is a relief since I haven't done anything like this before and figured I was going to get slammed. No horrible die off yet other than some itching and mild headaches a few times a day so far. I think part of that is because the humacleanse helps get the stuff that the humaworm parasite cleanse kills out faster.

I havent' tried Humaworm & cleanse yet. I'd like to though. Sounds like it's working.

I dont' think scientifically you can call a fungus a parasite. They are actually different. A parasite is an organism and a fungus is just that it grows kinda like how mold grows. Uck! :eek:

Did you check out the links...............and there is sooooooooooo much more. It's so incredible the amount of info on the internet isn't there?

[rawstrength]

Some fungi are parasitic, thus they are parasites.
Curing from the inside out is great, but if it's on your skin then an external treatment would certainly help, too.
Neem oil works wonders. It got rid of the fungus in my toe nails. I've heard that aloe vera is good for killing fungal skin infections, too.

[RAWCA]

Would eczema qualify as skin fungus?
Wouls ACV and GSE work to eradicate stubborn eczema pathces that look like they are spreading?

Thanks!

Why is this not making sense to me? :confused: Can you reference me somewhere to learn more about that? :confused: Scratching my head!

Thanks

[flyinion]

So I did some more research and it seems it's normal to have the Candida yeast even in a healthy state, but being healthy it's kept in check. According to Wikipedia though if you aren't healthy...........

"To infect host tissue, the usual unicellular yeast-like form of Candida albicans reacts to environmental cues and switches into an invasive, multicellular filamentous forms"

Anyway, a parasite is something that lives inside a host and takes from it without giving any benefit. Couple that with the Wiki info on what Candida does in an unhealthy person and that sounds like parasite to me. That's just me though, like I said before it really depends on your point of view and how you interpret the info. I just know that the cleanse I'm doing does kill things like Candida.

In my Botany class we were just discussing the other day about how fungi can be parasites.
Any organism that lives off of another organism while cosing harm to the organism it lives off of (the host) is a parasite. For example, moss that grows on a tree and sucks nutrients from the tree is a parasite. Something doesn't have to be a bug or a worm to be a parasite.
If a fungus is living on your skin and causing you harm, then that fungus is a parasite!

Thanks for sharing that. *mind opening up* ;)
Yes, I too read that about candida and that when you are suffering from it you become a nice host for parasites. Seems similar herbs kill candida and parasites. :)

[Raw Angel Mom]

Oh mye, i feel for you. The good news is that our body seek to keep us alive and to repair. Now the gas, you want to avoid that. This is wonderful that you can eat what you want. Maybe, try to wait to digest fully before another meal. Fruits are better eaten on an empty stomact. So wait after we are done digesting and or before we eat a meal. I have been told at least half hour, but now, i would wait at least 1 hour after eating a fruit to eat a meal. I do mix my fruits with greens to make my smoothies and it seems to work. I notice that raw honey with banana, do give me gas too, so try to listen to your body. Watermellon, is better eaten alone. CHEW YOUR FOOD THROUGHLY AND TAKE YOUR TIME TO EAT. Any food that haven't been chew properly will ferment in our gut. Have you thought of taking prohobiotic too? A natural or homeopathic doctor that do RAW FOOD,may be a good reference to find help, not the one that eat cook food but the one that knows about raw food and eat raw food. I believe also to train our mind to be comfortable with this raw food diet but it is important to listen to our body too. Your body is giving you gas, so this is its voice to tell you to make some change. I read that gas are very toxic and we need to try to avoid fermentation i our guts. Speaking for myself, by waiting long enough before the next meal, these gas stopped. For me, i wasn't waiting long enough, and i found out that banana and honey together is a bad combination for me. So i use raw agave instead of honey to make my icecream.

Best wishes, hope you find what you need soon!

[brydee]

Thanks for all the replies, im looking into a prohobiotic.

Just another question lol

I dont know if it is the candida, but when i do not have sugar, i feel dizzy etc, is this just the cravings? and is it not dangerous to totally cut sugar out of your diet..i mean you must need it, if not why do we eat it?

[Jenifae]

I read dizziness is a symptom of Candida but, I also know from having Hypoglycemia for over 20 years that dizziness after eating sugar is a sign of that also. According to some recent readings that I've read is that Hypoglycemia and Candida go hand in hand so, maybe the Candida causes or vice versa or that having one makes you suseptable to the other? Still haven't completely figured that out.

In a Healthy body the Optimal balance of food to eat is: 33% Chlorophyll (green leafy veggies), 33% Fats (fatty fruits, nuts, coconuts, seeds), and 33% Sugars (sweet fruits)

In a Candida body the Optimal balance of food to eat is: 50% Chlorophyll (green leafy veggies), and 50% Fats (fatty fruits, nuts, coconuts, seeds)

According to David Wolfe in the Sunfood Diet for Success Book.

He also suggests other perctanges for weight loss and detox too. Pretty kewl!

So i can still eat coconut:D !!!!!

Hi everyone,

Was just looking at buying some GSE and i found this link http://www.yesyesyes.org/GSE.htm its put me off buying any off the sites iv already looked at, does anyone know a UK site that is reputable.

Thanks :)

[kaybee]

based on that research, sounds like even if you found a reputable site selling unadulterated GSE, the GSE wouldnt actually do what you need it to anyway; i.e. they are claiming that the antifungal activity attributed to GSE isnt actually real; its caused by the other chemicals, not by the GSE....which makes it sound like GSE doesnt actually do anything if its pure and unadulterated... i came across a similar warning somewhere else; i think on the terressentials natural skin and body care website, saying essentially the same thing.... so i dunno

[Jenifae]

Well, I hope this isn't true. I recently bought a few to fight candida.

[brydee]

Yes its made me wonder about buying any now:(
