tee tree oil (topical) for the ring worm

[Guest guest]

Mr. Khalsa,

I would try tee tree oil (topical) for the ring worm. Jock itch is a sign of an

over growth of Candida albicans or just Candidiasis. I would try a good

probiotic; Acicophilus is one strand and there are many strands.Try to get one

with as many as possible. Here's a diet for you.

ANTI-CANDIDA DIET - DESCRIPTION

Recently, attention has been directed to the relationship between diet and

vaginal yeast, chronic intestinal and systemic infection with Candida albicans.

Candida albicans, a yeast, ferments sugars to alcohol, and therefore thrives in

a sugar-rich environment. It is foe this reason dietary strategies are designed

toward reducing sugar an available simple carbohydrate intake and increasing

fiber, complex carbohydrate and protein. Foods contaminated with yeast. Such a

fermented fruit or fruit drinks or moldy foods, should be avoided.

The anti Candida Diet meets all the adequate nutrient standards of the RDA.

There is some controversy as to how restricted the anti-Candida Diet needs to be

in starch, Grains, vegetables and yeast-risen breads. Some doctors advocate a

very low total carbohydrate diet with no yeast containing products, whereas

others feel the elimination of fermentable sugars should be the focus of the

diet.

Mrs. Khalsa

 

If your rectal pain is sharp it is a Vata problem; if it burns it is Pitta

in nature and if it is a dull pain then it is a Kapha problem; never the less it

sounds like you might have internal and or external hemorrhoids. Going for long

walks and eating a high fiber diet may help. As far as your other problems go

those are all a sign of menopause. the best thing to do is get your hormones

check buy and open minded doctor. if this is not possible then try a good

Progesterone cream. Nine out of ten women whom are going through menopause are

Progesterone deficient. You also may have Candida: I would go on the diet too if

I were you. You can find the Probiotic and the Progesterone cream on line ......

Good luck .... Noel.....

Dear Noel,

 

Thank you very much for the reply. I have tried tea tree oil. It did not do

anything and in fact burned for awhile. I also tried lavender and other

essential oils including an oil that is similiar to neem oil. I think it was

called karela. The name escapes me.
