penile yeast infection--please help!

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

My husband has had three red spots on his penis since December 30. He

has been applying coconut oil religiously and oregano oil occsionally.

He says that it feels all better inside but does not look much better.

We have been following the diet, eating a whole lot of good fats,

enough protein, taking vitamin c powder (but without bioflavonoids),

and vitamin d. We were taking cod liver oil but stopped shortly before

this rash appeared because someone said that dr. mercola found that cod

liver oil is not good. Oh, good grief.

Can anyone please suggest what we might be doing wrong? How can he get

this yeast infection rash quickly cleared up, on the surface, at least?

+++Hi there. What is your name please? It might not be possible to

totally clear up the rash/spot until his body is ready, since it is

mainly toxins coming out in that area. That means he needs to stick

to the candida program, and do things recommended to help his body

detoxify more effectively per this article:

+++Please do not stop taking cod liver oil; I believe Dr. Mercola is

totally wrong on this one, and the Weston A. Price Foundation

definitely do not agree with him - here's an excerpt from Vitamin A

on Trial:

http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/vitamina-osteo.html

" More recently, Dr. Cannel, president of the Vitamin D Council

and also a speaker at the Weston A Price Foundation's 2005

conference, recommended in a newsletter that vitamin D supplements

not contain any preformed vitamin A because it interferes with the

function of vitamin D, and warned that " if you just have to take " cod

liver oil, " don't take more than a teaspoon a day. " Dr. Cannel

suggested ß-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A (retinol) that is

found in plant foods, is a safe alternative to the preformed retinol

found in cod liver oil.4

Although the vitamin supplement industry claims that the research is

conflicting and inconclusive,5 there is actually an impressive body

of evidence suggesting that, in certain circumstances, an " excess " of

vitamin A is contributing to an increased risk of osteoporosis in

certain populations even at relatively low levels.

At first glance, the research seems to stand in stark contrast to

Price's consistent observation of very high levels of vitamin A in

primitive diets accompanying the superior skeletal health of those

same groups.

A more careful consideration of the research suggests, however, that

what is at issue is not an excess of vitamin A, but an imbalance

between vitamin A and other nutrients in the diet, especially vitamin

D.

Human and animal evidence strongly suggests that vitamin A can only

exert harm against the backdrop of vitamin D deficiency, that

sufficient levels of vitamin A are even higher than once thought, and

that supplementing with carotenes is neither an adequate nor a safe

way to achieve these optimal levels - all of which are consistent

with and supportive of Price's timeless findings. "

The best, Bee

Thanks for the reply, Bee! Actually, I checked for myself what Dr.

Mercola said about cod liver oil, and it was nothing like my friend

told me. He actually recommends it! So anyway, my husband and I

both took 1 tsp of Twinlab's cod liver oil that night, and the next

morning--the spots had cleared almost completely!

So thankful for your advice,
