Re: Male infection/virus - Candida-related?

[Guest guest]

Almost sounds like tinea, a fungus. Maybe. I'm guessing here, by the symptoms,

but.....Have your friend treat it like athlete's foot fungus (which can easily

outbreak anywhere on your body that is moist but sometimes can affect dry

areas), or what I've heard works is use colloidal silver directly to affected

areas and eat lots of garlic. Tinea is contagious and can be picked up at gyms,

hotels etc. as well as spread person to person if both have good breeding

conditions for it. Avoid sugar, refined flours, antibiotics and follow

protocols for anti-yeasts and anti-fungals. To diet add pro-biotics like

acidophilis and biofilis, plain yogurt. Sometimes these things have be treated

from the gut as well as on the surface. Comercial preparations like Tinactin

(or a jock-itch preparation) might work too, for a quick topical relief. Good

luck.

I know it may be a bit of a long shot here, but a good friend of mine down

in SoCal has had Candida problems for a while. He recently went through a

bunch of stress, and his girlfriend got cervical cancer. Shortly afterwards,

he started developing some severe symptoms (below). He thinks it could be

HPV virus, but his symptoms don't really indicate that (as far as I know).

Could this just be a severe yeast infection? Or bladder infection?

The thing about that is he took a two week dose of antibiotics, hoping they

would clear things up, but they had no effect. So things like gonorrhea and

Chlamydia have been ruled out. Dr's are scratching their heads and telling

him it's psychosomatic.

Or could this just be severe Candida? It seems like the antibiotics would

have made that worse, or at least the whole condition better in the short

term. Or could it just be the physical manifestations of severe stress?

He is essentially losing his mind, so any info or ideas at all would be

wonderful.

(his description is below)

Thank you!

In addition, (after sleeping on this) avoid regular soaps in shower, and too

frequent bathing. This is not a time to get OCD about bathing more than once

per day. The skin must have healthy bacteria, and showering too often and using

soap kills off these natural fungal and yeast predators. Also avoid bathing in

chlorinated water. That means tap water. There are shower water filter available

that remove chlorine. For soap, use a natural oatmeal soap from a health food

store. For moist areas, look into medical powders, like Caldesene in the pink

can or Gold Bond. This helps absorb moisture and slow spread of infection.

Also look at clothes laundering as a source of the problem. Wash whites in

hot water, borax and baking soda. Avoid harsh commericial detergents,

especially the perfumed ones like surf and gain. Ivory pure soap might be ok or

SA-8 from Amway or something from Melaluca. RINSE WELL. Then final rinse in

distilled water. Sun dry is ideal but hot dryer is ok too.

To deal with stress, be sure he gets Vitamin B complex. Valerian tea instead

of beer. Meditation instead of football/basketball. If he's into sports, golf

might be the perfered sport for awhile as long as he isn't stressed by it. This

could be a long list, but there are plenty of resources for reducing stress.

If he is the kind of guy that absolutley scoffs at natural remedies as

quackery, and he only accepts advice from medical doctors... ( I know way too

many stubborn folks like this), then have him suggest Flagyl or Diflucan for

treating the fungus. I am sure the docs would be more than happy to hand him an

Rx for them.

Beautiful post!! I cannot stress enough the importance of caring for

your skin and avoiding commercial products therefore lowering the skin's

immunity and setting it up for a chronic rash. Oatmeal soap is my choice.

Don't forget to avoid washing bedding linens in commercial detergents as

you must lay and directly breathe the toxic chemicals eight hours a night

long after the rinse cycle. Borax and baking soda, like said, are

the best.

Thanks Ken. I should have added that he should be wearing only 100% cotton

clothes, (at least underwear) and sleeping on 100% cotton sheets (bedding). I

was assuming he had been, but sometimes simple things are overlooked and I

forgot that some guys really do like to wear satin or silk boxers. silk is

usually ok but in warm areas like So Cal, it holds in too much heat and creates

perfect breeding ground for tinea, which I think is also the same bug that

causes diaper rash. I learned about Caldesene powder in 1972, it cured my

baby's diaper rash in no time. (he was allergic to those " new " disposable

diapers called Pampers, which in those days were perfumed. So he was switched

to cotton washables, and used Caldesene between changings.

Tinea does cause diaper rash and commercial diapers have formaldehyde

and other unthinkables in them to ensure low skin-immunity and thus ensure

diaper rash. I don't know of any child in today's world that doesn't get

diaper rash now and then or even chronically. What a shame.

Brand new clothes, including cotton clothes and sheets also contain

formaldehyde, and should always be washed before wearing them the first time.

Add a cup of white vinegar to that first wash gets out most of it, then rinse

well. Wash again with baking soda (this neutralizes the acid) and rinse twice.
