Creating health from the inside, out; Nature of fungi; Distinguishing causes from symptoms ... a case in point (WAS: Use urine??? (facial and shampoo use)

[Guest guest]

Yeast are bacteria. Genuine fungi are another life form entirely, as

biologists have finally recognized. They are now identified in their own

kingdom in the taxonomy, at the same level as plants and animals.

 

 

 

All organisms must eat. Fungi are part of Nature's processes we call

" decay " , they eat dead and near-dead organic matter.

 

 

 

Think of mushrooms growing in the forest. They grow when it is dark

(relatively) and wet. And when the sun comes out, they vanish. In other

words, they thrive under certain specific conditions - and ONLY under those

conditions.

 

 

 

Change the underlying conditions, change Nature's response . always. Create

healthful conditions, and just step back and watch health emerge from within

you.

 

 

 

Best,

 

Elchanan

I cannot take time to write enough to explain what is beneath all the

misconceptions being published in this thread. But Bill, here, in the

excerpt below, you share a perfect illustration of one point . namely, the

complete confusion people have between problems/causes and symptoms.

 

 

 

Yes, urine will kill certain fungi, and in that sense the athlete's foot, or

jungle rot, or whatever, is temporarily remediated. But this is the

symptom, NOT the problem.

 

 

 

Query: Why is a fungus eating the foot in the first place? A little-asked

question.

 

 

 

Response: From the point of view of the fungus, a portion of the human foot

consists of dead matter . in sufficient quantity to constitute a viable

food source for the fungus.

 

 

 

You can remove the fungus a thousand times, and it will ALWAYS return .

unless you address the actual problem.

 

 

 

Query: Why does the fungus perceive a portion of this human foot as dead

matter?

 

 

 

Response: Because from a biological perspective, a portion of the foot IS

dead matter. And this is STILL a symptom, NOT the problem.

 

 

 

The problem is a diet and lifestyle that causes the body to begin

decomposing even while it is ostensibly still alive. And if you correct

this problem, then the athlete's foot (or the like) will vanish all by

itself . and forever.
