Suffering with fungal infection

hey all,
I am suffering with fungal infection on skin for quite a long time. I have applied different products available in the market to get rid of it. But, I didn't get any result. One of my friends suggested me to apply neem. But it is very difficult to collect neem leaves everyday. So, can anyone suggest me a neem based product available in market?

You probably need to first find out what kind of fungal infection. E.g. seborrheic dermatitis, foot/nail fungus, etc.

Well, I know that emu oil is anti-fungal, maybe you could try that.

I'm a newbie, but I can definitely help you with this one..

The best anti-fungal agent is raw apple cider vinegar. It has malic acid, and when applied to the skin, it kills, aswell as inhibits fungal growth.

Make sure you buy the raw unfiltered kind though, and not the processed version..

It smells initially, but the scent fades after 10 minutes or so.

I applied it before bed time, and it destroyed my fungal infection in record time compared to the ineffective OTC anti-fungal agents..

Was that a nail infection or only skin?

Sometimes when a fungal skin infection or athletes foot goes away but returns again soon, it can indicate the problem is elsewhere in the body.

When a women has a yeast overgrowth in her GI tract this can make her prone to recurring vaginal yeast infections. I think recurring skin infections may be the same thing. But this is not something your network doctor may actually take seriously. Most people find they treat themselves with a number of different things like caprylic acid which only kills the yeast in your GI tract.

Is it possible that you have an overgrowth of yeast in your GI tract? Sometimes when this gets out of hand you crave carbs and sweets. Sometimes the GI problems are not that bad, some diarrhea or constipation.

I have also read about using apple cider vinegar. Another anit-fungual agent is olive leaf extract. You'd have to read up on how to use it.
Good luck,
Diane

They carry it. The 15 ml only costs $2.95 and an

Cautions: Use at up to 10% in skin care formulations. Up to 3% in hand and foot care products
