I'm trying not to get excited about this, but it's the first time that I've noticed a visible and immediate positive change from something I've done. The concept is really, really simple. Heat in the range of 100F-150F kills microorganisms, but doesn't kill living tissue. Raise the temperature of the tissue up high enough to kill the bacteria/fungi/virus and the body tissue will survive and be better for it.

I've been going to public saunas but I don't live in a city so it's a rare "treat", that gives me a massive headache and achiness afterwards. I suspect this may be a herxheimer reacion (die off), which is often written about when treating disease with sauna, which is itself a common practice going back thousands of years in almost every culture on the planet. Raise the body temperature, excite every organ and system, flood the system with oxygen, it all kills pathogens of almost every kind. The part I'm trying to explore is the heat.

Heat and hot water is known for it's relaxing and healing properties... a hot bath being the obvious example. A hot water bottle, hot drinks, all good and healthy.

I noticed in a sauna that my gums will ache and my throat gets sore soon afterwards. I've noticed the same when eating fresh yogurt. Another herxheimer reaction? I've read that inhaling very hot air can kill pathogens in the respiratory tract, this is why sauna air that will scald the nasal passage is good for colds. I know how much the hot air can raise the temperature of one's mouth... even more than drinking hot tea.

So anyway, one of my first symptoms was a white glans on my penis. My problems started with a sexual encounter that immediately turned my glans white and since that day it's remained white on the underside. Nothing I've done, no cream, no drugs, nothing has ever made any change in this condition. It's always irritated, commonly I get sores, and the tissue itself is clearly white, only on the bottom of the glans. The roof of my mouth is white and along my gumline is white as well, but right now my manhood is the important bit.

Maybe you can see where I'm going with this... I get a tea kettle and a cup. I pour myself a glass, add some Sea Salt ... and proceed to boil my dick. Yes, this is how desperate I am, sitting at my computer with my dick in a cup of hot salt water. 3 times a day for the last 2 days I would get the water very hot, dip my glans in as long as I could bear the pain, take it out till the pain subsided, and repeat. When it was "cool" enough that I could bear to leave it in I soaked for a few minutes then added more hot water and started over. I did this for 10-15 minutes each time.

After the first 2 sessions I could swear the whiteness was almost gone. I wasn't sure I could trust my judement, wishful thinking and all, so I witheld any celebration. Now I've gone through 2 days of maybe 6 sessions total and I swear it's not my imagination. It's still irritated and sickly, but theres nothing more than the slightest hint of whiteness under the glans. The tissue on the bottom looks almost identical to what's on top, and I haven't seen anything like that for more than a year. It's not the heat turning it all red, hours afterwards the whiteness really looks gone.

I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up, every time I think I've found something that works it somehow does a 180 and drops me back in hell...

Has anyone tried anything like this?

I know that classic candida balanitis isn't white tissue but a white patch or scaly skin with primarily red irritation, but I don't believe for a second that C Albicans is my problem or that it's even capable of producing the problems anyone on this board has. For me "candida" is the word for some vaguely defined (likely fungal) pathogen that produces a wide range of symptoms and is completely unknown or misunderstood by the medical community. I'm not even sure my problem is fungal or whether C Albicans overgrowth is a symptom of it, which is why I'm hopeful for heat treatments because they'll be effective against any pathogen.

I swear to god if this works I'll be building a sauna, a testicle soaker, a rectal prostate heater, gargling with boiling water, etc, etc, etc.

Feel free to laugh at me, I think it's hilarious too.
