I’ve been struggling with what appears to be a systemic yeast infection for about 8 years+ right now. Aside from severe brain fog/joint and muscle pain/chronic fatigue, I have been dealing with pretty bad jock itch/burning when urinating and several patches on my back that my doctor says are yeast for several months that don’t appear to go away no matter what I take.

Hi all, This winter was one of the worst I’ve had since my Candida journey began. I am still seeing a reduction in many of the major symptoms I started with, but once the weather gets cool in the fall, and more-so when it gets really cold in the winter, I have been having a lot of skin problems. In particular, this winter I had the worst jock-itch I’ve ever had - mind you that I’ve had some degree of jock itch since I was a young boy, but it really flared up this winter. It’s so uncomfortable that sometimes it was hard to sleep. The only thing that gives me any relief is spraying near-boi ...

Hello everybody, Hopefully this helps some people. I thought I was plagued with a bad jock itch infection that would not go away no matter what I did. Trip to the doctor, ointments, creams, etc. I tried varying medicines for months and nothing worked. I went back to doctor and requested that I get a culture taken of the area. They swabbed the skin and told me a few days later that it was a STAPH INFECTION, not jock itch. The doctor initially diagnosed me with a fungal infection (jock itch), so we were trying to treat a fungus, not a bacteria (staph). They put me on an oral and erythrom ...

You 100% have a staph infection. I thought I also had a serious case of jock itch for years and the doctors prescribed me antifungal creams to no avail. I tried a multitude of other things trying to treat a fungal jock itch, but after losing my mind and going to the doctor again basically demanding they do a culture, it came back as staph. They put me on antibiotics and it went away. BUT, it came back. I have done countless hours of research on this topic and I believe I might have found something that is working for me. Keep in mind I’ve only been doing this for about a week, but the stap ...

I too advocate the non-prescription method. And the diet is key. Furthermore - adrenal fatigue is generally the other main concern.

For anal itch - have you tried enemas thus far? They are very useful to help with colon cleanse. VItamin C is key to help, so is magnesium and exercise is important too (oxygen supply).

Hemorrhoids are very often triggered by food intolerance. Very often, it is intolerance to wheat, cheese and milk. You would have to avoid your trigger foods for at least 7 days or longer to allow hemorrhoid to heal and return to normal. Just because wheat, cheese and milk are common triggers, it dos not mean they are your triggers . In your case, it may be intolerance to something else like spices, or nuts, or fish or whatever else.

Hi White Shark! I haven’t considered those no! I would definitely look into the fecal transplant though, perhaps my gut microbiome is abnormal. I would probably look into the liver flush afterwards, my reasoning being that many people with FBO seem to have found the odor to be systemic, some saying it comes from their pores even, maybe meaning that their liver is not functioning correctly to expel toxins. I’m pretty confident that mine comes specifically from my hemmorrhoid. Thank you for the advice. Have you found anything that works for you?   [End]

Sounds like candida as well as other things. First get rid of candida, then repopulate acidophilus in your intestines, then cleanse your intestines and liver, do a gall bladder flush, include fresh fruits and vegetables, include salt in your diet. Use the Candida Zapper by BioElectric. That’s what I used and , unlike supplements, is something I can use again and again for the rest of my life, each time candida tries to repopulate.   [End]

Here’s the two biggest errors people do that allow candida growth: 1) Use soaps that specifically aren’t ”PH balanced” or acidic, so that they are alkaline which robs your skin of its natural acidity for 4 hours. And some people bath twice a day. 2) Due to typical errors from the false medical profession people avoid putting salt on their food. Salt is highly anti-fungal and antibacterial. If you sweat and the sweat has little salt then that’s little protection against fungus and bacteria that would grow there.   [End]

While I have no clear cure, a suggestion is order. After years of anti fungal creams and medications a Doctor finally got a skin scrape test. Yes I don’t have a fungal infection, get a check on the actual skin. If it is not fungal not sure but could be candida or something similar.Seeing a publicly funded specialist, unfortunately a immunologist and not a dermatologist. Good luck, didn’t know so many were suffering from this horrible affliction.   [End]

Hi, I did a lot of research on the subject of jock itch, ringworm and athlete’s foot. My daughter had athlete’s foot, which she gave her brother, he had ringworm on his back, and then on his groin, which is what is the famous jock itch. These different problems are actually manifestations of one single agent: the tinea fungus. You can try pharmaceutical products, like Tinactin, and spend a lot of money. Or, understanding all of this is one and only one skin fungus, you can cure it for no money at all, quick and easy. The best cure: vinegar. I did use apple cider vinegar, ’cause I like ...

I had jock itch for seven years, tried all the expensive creams and drugs and they all failed. So I decided to look for my own cure. My jock itch had been with me for 7 years, and extended from my genital area right around to my rectal area. Unpleasant. I found out that the fungus causing jock itch or tinea cruris was exactly the same as tinea pedis or athlete’s foot. So I started dusting my genitals and affected areas during the day with athletes foot powder(salicylic acid).

I’m only guessing, but it sounds fungal. Get some lugols iodine and clarkia and start on both. Can’t hurt and might help. If it is fungal, you’ll notice an improvement with the neem soap and oregano oil. That’s what finally cleared up ringworm on my daughter’s shoulder blade. We tried everything, but nothing worked until we used the neem and oregano oil. You might be re-infecting yourself, which is why I suggested washing everything in hot water with bleach.

Hi... It might be some sort of deep (internal)fungus issue. You probably need to address it internally,topically and externally (clothing).

Have you tried bathing with Neem soap? It is anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial. You can also take Neem capsules internally. There’s also the neem oil.

Jock itch rash is caused by lead in the Lymph system of the body. L- methionine, an amino acid will chelate it from the body and alleviate the rash. You need 2,000 mgs. Methionine a day for 3 weeks, then 1,000 for 3 weeks and finally 500 for 2 weeks then you are finished and do not need anymore.

Jock itch and other vegetable parasites/fungi can be indicative of a system wide candida infection. One sure fire way to get rid of it is to use Nutiva organic virgin coconut oil.
