FUNGAL INFECTIONS Fungi and yeast feed on decomposing or dead tissues. They exist everywhere: inside our stomachs, on our skin, and out on the lawn. When kept under control, the yeast and fungi populating our bodies are harmless and digest what our bodies cannot or do not use. When we feed the naturally-occurring fungi in our bodies too many acid-ash foods, such as sugar, animal proteins, and dairy products, the fungal populations grow out of control. This condition is known as systemic candidiasis and is marked by fungi invading the blood, gastrointestinal tract, and tissues. Fungal cultures such as candida excrete large amounts of poisons called mycotoxins as part of their life cycles. These poisons must be detoxified by the liver and immune systems. Eventually they can wreak enormous damage on the tissues and organs and are believed to be an aggravating factor in many degenerative diseases, such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, and diabetes. Insufficient intake of minerals and trace minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc may also stimulate candida and fungal overgrowth in the body. Symptoms of Systemic Fungal Infection: Fatigue/low energy Overweight Low resistance to illness Allergies Unbalanced blood sugar Headaches Irritability Mood swings Indigestion Colitis and ulcers Diarrhea/constipation Urinary tract infections Rectal or vaginal itch Athlete's Foot (See RINGWORM in this section). Tinea pedis or athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the skin that infects the feet. (it is identical to ringworm which infects the skin in the rest of the
body). This fungus thrives in the warm, moist environment to which many feet are subjected. The best remedy is to keep feet cool and dry and avoid wearing tight-fitting shoes or heavy natural (ie. cotton) socks. Wear sandals, shoes, and socks woven from a light, breathable fabric. It is especially important to control this fungus infection during showering or bathing, since the moist, warm environment favors the growth of the Tinea culture responsible for athlete's foot. Antifungal essential oils such as melaleuca and Melrose can be added to bath salts or Epsom salts and used in a the RainSpa shower head to create a mild, antifungal shower.

Ointment Candida Albicans (Intestinal) Two of the most powerful weapons for fighting intestinal fungal infections such as candida are FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and L. acidophilus cultures. FOS has been clinically documented in dozens of peer-reviewed studies for its ability to build up the healthy intestinal flora in the colon and combat the overgrowth of negative bacteria and fungi (See APPENDIX P). Acidophilus cultures have also been shown to combat fungus overgrowth in the gastrointestinal tract. Royaldophilus is an excellent source of L. acidophilus cultures, and Stevia Select is a superior source of plant-derived FOS.

It is infectious and can be spread from an animal or human host alike. Skin candida is a fungal infection that can erupt almost anywhere on the skin. It shows up in various places, such as behind the knees, inside the elbows, behind the ears, on temple area, and between the breasts. Combating Ringworm Using antifungal essential oils while bathing or showering is especially important because fungal infections thrive in moist, warm environments. Essential oils like tea tree or Melrose can easily be added to bath salts or Epsom salts to combat fungal infections. There are specially designed shower heads that can be filled with bath salts and essential oils. As the water passes over the mixture, it disperses the essential oils and salts into the shower spray, creating an antiseptic spa.

Topical Treatment: Thieves Antiseptic Spray, Ortho Sport or OrthoEase Massage Oils, Fresh Essence Plus (used topically), Rose Ointment Thrush Thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth and throat marked by creamy, curd-like patches in the oral cavity. Even though it appears in the mouth, thrush is usually a sign of systemic fungal overgrowth throughout the body. Thrush can usually be treated locally through the use of antifungal essential oils such as clove, cinnamon, rosemary CT cineol, peppermint, and rosewood.

Oral Hygiene: Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash, Thieves Lozenges Using Raindrop Technique to Purge Pathogenic Fungi Pathogenic microorganisms have a tendency to hibernate along the spinal cord and in the lymphatic system. The body has the ability to hold them in a suspended state for long periods of time. When the immune system becomes compromised from stress, fatigue or other factors, they can be released and manifest illness and disease. Oregano, thyme, or hyssop along the spine using Raindrop Technique may help to drive the dormant fungi out of the spinal fluid. Additionally, lymphatic pump therapy will revitalize a sluggish lymphatic system to better combat pathogenic fungi. (see Chapter 22) Vaginal Yeast Infection Essential oils like tea tree have been documented to have highly antifungal activity. Positive results have been obtained on vaginal yeast infections using these oils in douches. Equally excellent results have been achieved by inserting a capsule of Royaldophilus into the vagina after douching.
