Hi:
I've tried using a long list of anti-fungal agents for my athlete's
foot and jock itch infection. Fungi have infected my feet, my crotch,
the index and middle-finger of my right hand, and the thumb and thumb-
nail of my left hand.
I hardly wear any socks -- and when I do, I be sure to wash them with
lots of bleach and extremely-hot water. I wash all my clothes and
underwear with bleach and hot-water.
Also, I bathe every day. I use dial soap, and anti-fungal shampoo on
my hands, scalp, feet, underarms and crotch. I wash completely.
After shower I apply anti-fungal ointments to my infected areas. I
also take anti-fungal pills. The infection STILL hasn't gone. Despite
doing this for 5 years. Its only gotten worse!
The infected areas of my body are alway itchy and scaling. My feet
itch the worst.
Whenever my feet itch, I stand in the tub and let the hot water run
and wiggle my toes to let the hot water run between and under the
toes. Hot water gets rid of the itching temporarily. Must be careful,
cuz the same temp that relieves itch can also be painful. After the
hot water my feet feel fuzzy and are sensitive to touch but the itch
is gone, at least temporarily.
I wonder if its possible and pratical to gene-modify a virus to make
this virus selectively infect all known pathogenic fungi without
harming other organisms. If this worked, it would probably be the only
way to eliminate those nasty little mushrooms, once and for all!
However, I prefer not to kill the bacteria. I don't mind the company
of bacteria as long as they don't kill, seriously disable, or
permanently handicap me.
I am not a fan of anti-biotics. Even if the doc recommends them.
I actually like the pus that results from bacterial infections.
Just keep those pathogenic fungi away from me. I hate athlete foot,
ringworm and jock itch. These fungi are really hazardous and our
immune systems can't fight them. In addition to the extreme itching,
if these fungi enter your blood, they can spread to vital organs and
kill you. I've known individuals who have lost their nails to such
monsterous fungi. Some even end up with brain infections and septic
shock.
Any understanding, cooperation, and assistance on this matter is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch,
Radium |

I only use hot water on the feet when they itch. I don't use hot water
anywhere other than the feet.

Thats really whacked; no offense. Shower twice a day? I shower at
most, once a day.

I don't use soap all over, just in the aformentioned regions, and that
too, only in recommended amounts. After any shower, I always put
vaseline on my lips because they become chapped if I don't. Also, in
the shower, I don't use hot water. Just warm.
As for the hot water, I only use it on my feet. For my hands I apply
vaseline along with the anti-fungal ointmnet. The vaseline helps ease
the scaling and itching.

About the fungemia, I was discussing cases I've heard of. I most
likely don't have fungi in my blood, well, not yet. If I did, it would
show up in my recent blood test I took about a week ago.
My physician does say that I have a fungal infection on the parts of
my skin that are itching. Guess its time for a better doctor. Cuz I've
been following his recommendations for a loooooong time and nothing
has worked. For a short-time the infection went away, and the itching/
scaling stopped, but then it came right back -- very annoying!
Why don't they make vaccines for fungal infections? They do it for
viral/bacterial infections. |

In addition, these antifungal drugs -- much like antibiotics -- have
side effects.
They are so many anti-bacterial antiseptics in the market. Its time
they make anti-fungal antiseptics.

Jock itch and athlete's foot -- it seems.

Most likely it probably is. Which begs the question -- why don't those
lazy-ass doctors make vaccines for pathogenic fungi?
So much attention is given to viruses and bacteria. WTF, don't they do
similar to fungi? Fungal diseases can be -- and usually are -- as
agonizing as viral/bacterial infections. >> Stay informed about: Fungus Infection Out Of Control!!! |

I've never heard of a dermatophyte becoming a systemic infection. These
skin/hair/nail fungi are pretty limited in their area of infection.
Unfortunately the area they prefer has little blood flow and are pretty
hardy little buggers! It is difficult for oral antifungals to reach
them in concentrations high enough to kill them, and the therapy needs
to be give over a long period of time.
Have any of your infectious sites been cultured to see exactly what
fungus you have. It may be possible to have susceptibility testing to
anti fungals. It is possible the organism is resistant.
You probably need an infectious disease specialist.

How do you know it's a fungal infection? Have you had a culture? You may
be drying out your skin with all this hot water washing. You sound a bit
OCD about this. My father-in-law used to go nuts with his skin also. He
ended up with dry itchy skin just because of his paranoia. He showered
at least twice a day, sometimes more. The oil on your skin is there for
a purpose - to protect your skin. If you keep washing it all off with
heavy duty detergents (most soaps are really detergent), then there is
nothing to protect it. Use cooler water.
I would advise seeing a dermatologist. This could be some other type of
skin condition. Also, some systemic diseases manifest themselves as skin
conditions. If you've seen no relief for five years I think it's time to
bite the bullet and see a doc.

If you had paid a bit more attention to John's post, you could easily
have answered your own question. Vaccination generates a systemic
immune response, which obviously is only going to affect organisms that
get into the body. Any area of the body that has a poor blood supply,
as John pointed out is the issue with the skin and nails, is going to be
"immunologically privileged." That is, if the antibodies and activated
B and T cells can't get there, and macrophages are prevented from moving
into the area, it isn't going to make any difference whether you have
been immunized or not, there simply isn't going to be any way for the
immunization to have any effect on the infectious agent.
Attention has been given to a variety of fungal infections and it turns
out that they are harder than Hell to deal with. As eukaryotes, they
have essentially the same functions as the cells of your body so
anything that affects them also affects your body. Usually not a very
high therapeutic index, meaning that the damage caused by the treatment
is pretty much on par with the damage caused by the infection.
There really wouldn't be any reason to genetically engineer a virus to
attack the fungi, since viruses that do just that already exist.
However, little work has been done on those viruses, certainly none in
the context of viral treatment for fungal infections. In the overall
scheme of medical issues, most fungal infections are either so benign
(although maddening) or so rare (even though they cause fatal infection,
usually over a rather long infection period) that they just don't rank
on the scale of things about which most people are concerned enough to
actively research treatments beyond those that currently exist. Yeah,
one could probably make a fortune with a *really* effective athlete's
foot treatment, but the development costs would eat up much of that
fortune.

Okay. So what aren't these viruses being used to fight off fungal
infections?

Well, why not?
I sure could benefit from these viruses. Last time I checked, I am not
the only victim of these nasty pathogenic fungi.
Since all methods I've tried have only worked in short-term, I think
viral therapy is more promising for long-term treatment, then those
wussy-piece-of-kakaa antifungal medications which rapidly lose their
intended effects while maintaining their nasty side-effects [e.g.
liver damage]. In addition, these antifungal drugs may kill beneficial
organisms, just like anti-biotics kill off the vitamin-K-generating
bacteria in our colons.
It sure would be nice if a viral strain could be used to kill
pathogenic fungi. Release this virus and watch it spread as it devours
those satanic little mushrooms. >> Stay informed about: Fungus Infection Out Of Control!!! |

Very true. I like bacteria but hate pathogenic fungi. I am okay with

I am not immunocompromised and I also don't think I have fungi in my
blood. Its in the skin, thats the problem.
I don't have a systemic infection at all. Its just dermatitis in
infected regions. The infected areas are often scaled and dry. If I
scratch or rub my itchy toes/crotch with enough friction they leak
some clear fluid. The infected fingers and soles of feet, however, do
not give out any fluid even if I scratch them. The crotch area is
hyperpigmented due to the inflammation. >> Stay informed about: Fungus Infection Out Of Control!!! |

What did your culture grow???? Was it positive for a dermatophyte (type
of fungus)? If so, what kind? A bacterial and fungal culture are two
totally different orders. They are plated on different media. Fungal
cultures are held for at least four weeks.
Special blood cultures are needed to show fungemia. I doubt whether the
blood work you had done was fungal blood cultures. These are usually
reserved for hospitalized immunocompromised patients.

Since you seem to be constitutionally incapable of dealing with
portions of posts that do not allow you to complain about *your*
affliction, I have quoted below the relevant portion of my post, which
you conveniently snipped without indication in your response.

I will also point out that most viral therapy for bacterial infections
(generally referred to as phage therapy) died out in the mid-30s with
the introduction of the antibiotic age. There is a small but
dedicated surge in that research currently going on, as more and more
bacteria become antibiotic resistant. I am not aware of any effort
going into viral treatment for fungal infections, as maddening as that
may be for you personally, but again, most fungal infections just
aren't of enough general medical interest to generate much concern.

I doubt its psoriasis.
The fungus was initially in my feet. But once I had a scratch-wound on
my left thumb near the nail, thats when the infection spread to my
left thumb. On my right hands, my index and middle-finger were burnt
by friction as I used them to rub my itchy toes, while waiting for the
house's water heater to finish heating up the water to full [I set the
dial to maximum]. The friction-burns on my fingers then became
infected with the fungi because they made direct contact with my
infected toes. I don't know how those fungi infected my crotch,
possibly becauses it is a warm and moist environment filled with
apocrine sweat glands.
I just wish someone would find a way to get rid of these fungi once
and for all. Eliminate these little scum-foams from the globe for
good.
I also wish that there was some cleansing agent that would kill
pathogenic fungi without harming bacteria [I really like bacteria] or
removing natural oils from the skin. That I why I think of viruses for
infecting the pathogenic fungi. Viruses hijack the fungus's cell and
inject their DNA/RNA into the fungus's nucleus. New viruses are
generated and burst out of the fungal cell, giving the fungus the
rapid death it deserves.
This virus would rid me of the need to use any soap or detergents --
or any antiseptics/antimicrobials -- to any extent. No more need for
those inefficient anti-fungal medications. >> Stay informed about: Fungus Infection Out Of Control!!! |

Bacteria are only a threat if they invade the bloodstream. Vaccines
can be made for bacteria. In addition, I wouldn't mind having a
bacterial skin infection, as long as it doesn't kill me or cause any
permanent damage. I like the pus.

I think losing your nails to malicious little bugs is something of big
concern.
Wouldn't you be upset, if you lost your nails to fungal infection?
When your crotch itches in public and you can't do much about it? When
the only way to rid yourself of a hellish-itch to use hot water? >> Stay informed about: Fungus Infection Out Of Control!!! |

I'm glad you have a good sense of humor about all this. A few
questions. Are you taking any herbals you might be allergic to?
Valerian, Kava, and other botanicals will produce dermatological
problems over time in some people. What about medications not related
to the fungal problem? I would start with a clean slate and
discontinue all medications and supplements. Despite the lack of
blood flow to certain areas, it is impossible for those areas to
resist treatment at some level of exposure. I would do several
things, two or more at once if necessary.
1. Eat 5 fresh cloves of garlic in mashed potatoes twice daily (10
cloves total.)
2. 2 Capsules East Park Research olive leaf extract, one at bedtime
and one before breakfast.
3. 2 capsules daily Selenium Se-Methylselenocysteine (not the regular
kind) with meals for 1 month, after which reduce to 1 capsule daily.
Never discontinue taking this.
4. Tea tree oil from a tincture, diluted in organic coconut oil in a
ratio of 1:2 T/C, applied to dry feet twice daily (ie., more coconut
oil than tea tree oil.) Due a "spot test" first to determine possible
allergic response.
5. Tea tree oil from a tincture, diluted in organic coconut oil in a
ratio of 20:1, applied to genitals.
If your fungals resist for more than 3 months using this routine, you
are dealing with a systemic failure to resist or reverse infection.
See a naturopath.

I meant to add that you should address medication abstinance with your
doctor, preferrably a naturopath. >> Stay informed about: Fungus Infection Out Of Control!!! |
