Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Anything yeasty, fungusy,even on the skin, I would be looking at a candida type diet, cutting back on sugars and yeasts- well, cutting them out for a bit. Then tea tree lotion or direct EO kills that sort of thing topically. Then making sure the area was well aired, cotton clothing (no synthetics), extra good hygeine. Not my specific experience, but my general line of approach. love Peela ===== May the long time sun shine upon you, all love suround you, and the pure light within you guide your way on.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Hi Peela, Thank you!!!!!! Should I use straight tea tree oil? The only tea tree oil I ever saw,was in a vitamin shoppe and the bottle was very tiny,with a little dropper.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 It is fairly expensive around here, but for most cases, it doesn't take much. I have used it straight for cold sores or athletes foot, and diluted with water for vaginitis or jock itch. I'm sure that it is like anything else, individual and case dependant In Health, Steve ----------------------------- Perhaps not straight, it can be too strong for some people. In Australia we have so many tea tree products including a lotion which I would suggest. Perhaps dilute it in a cream base or some oil. Also though, Penny's suggestion of Black Walnut Hull would be worth a go, particularly if its easier to get than tea tree, I haven't heard of it topically but maybe you can, but it would be good internally too. I would use tea tree for anything like that, but I am in Australia where its common and cheap. love Peela --- sparkeyjb wrote: > Hi Peela, > Thank you!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Hi Sparkey, The other thing that came to me just now, is that since it is an infection, why not do some immune system boosting as well so your own system can get rid of it. As I said, I dont have specific experience with your condition, but being fungal, that would be my approach. love Peela --- sparkeyjb wrote: > Thank you so much,Peela, you have shed alot of light > on this problem of > mine.It is mainly embarrassing, I mean,who wants red > blotches on their arms > and back and chest????

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Sparky... I have been fighting this one literally for years. I think it is gone and alas it reappears again. As any fungus it thrives in a warm moist environment. The tee tree oil is great, shower 3 times a day with sulphur soap before applying. Do this for at least 3 days. Continue on a once a day basis for another week. The problem with tinea (beach fungus) is that you keep reinfecting yourself with clothing, furniture,and or anything else you have been in close contact with. Wash everything you can think of that you have worn. Dont forget things that go to the dry cleaner, fortunately not much these days. Sheets and blankets. I was told that if you look at your skin under a black light you can see spots that aren't visible to the eye without it. Sometimes u think that it's cleared up but just get hot and sweaty (pardon the term. Women glow and men sweat!! Sure ;-) ) and it will erupt in minutes. Hope this helps. You can get rid of it or at least keep it at bay. Have a great day, Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Hi Norma, Thank you. Where can I get that sulphur soap? I wish this horrible thing would just leave me alone,but with where I live now,there is probably no way it will. It took a while for the condition to worsen,but it really did get alot worse and the pink places are darker and easier to see,now.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Just a thought here. I know the fungus is topical, but wouldn't ingesting olive leaf extract help control it from the inside?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Hello Sparky.... I got the soap at the drug store. It is just called sulphur soap. I thot it had a trade name but I just spoke to a pharmacist he said it is just called sulphur soap. It's been a while. Guess I had a "senior moment". The soap is very drying. I originally got the Tinea from a borrowed wet suit. I understand it is mildly transmitable. One of my boys picked it up from me. He had his cleared up, drove his truck without a shirt and had a reoccurence from the seat belt. Have a great day, Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Jennie is probably right on with the olive leaf extract. Great to attack from the inside also and probably more permanant. The MD's treat it internally with script drugs but not for me. What a great bunch. Glad to be a part of it. Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Hi Sparkey... I know but it is only for three days and it does help. This too will pass.:-) I really think it is a good idea to take an antifungal internally. I never have been familiar with using olive leaf in any form until I heard about it from this group. Sounds impressive. Gotta run. Luv, Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 I really enjoy "collecting" various soaps. It's a cheap hobby, and it's fun to wash with different things. Best soap i ever found is called "Miracle II". It was made by a guy in Louisiana who says he got the recepie in a vision from God. It definitely does not dry out the skin like a lot of soaps. We use it up at the cabin where we have no running water and a little soap has to go a long way.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 Yes! Grapefruit seed extract has really worked for me with candida overgrowth. I have taken olive leaf extract internally in combination with other anti-fungals as well, and it works too. My experience with fungus has been that taking anti-fungals internally is a must. Sparky, since you don't take meds the interaction wouldn't be an issue. Steve, personally, I find myself wondering, when a new interaction is found between an herb and a med, why is the OBVIOUS recommendation always to drop the herb and not the med?!! herbal remedies, bigbird3969@m... wrote: > herbal remedies, " Denise O'Connor " <RNMSW@b...> wrote: > > I have some but never used it because of the grapefruit and reaction > > with some meds.
