Question I am almost 100% sure I have candida. I have scaley patches on my face, around my mouth and I am scared it will continue to get worse. It is so embarassing as I used to have nice clear skin. I have had it in the past but with only a few small patches on my face. the ones I have now are very noticeable. What can I use as a topical cream or lotion to make them go away and what can I do internally? Any homeopathic remedies? How restrictive is the diet for this? I know this seems like a lot but I am so worried, please give me something concrete to do or try. thank you sooo much.
Answer Fungal infections in humans is always from the gluten and gluten-like proteins in our diet, as are varicose veins and hemorrhoids from the secondary bowel heaviness on the pelvic veins.
To better understand, see www.medicalcenter.osu.edu/go/integrative for the diet and what is needed to stay healthy or call Laura Kunze at the OSU CIM Core at 614-293-3944
Any fungal medicine or yogurt sitz bath will clear the symptoms but it will always return until you have been totally gluten free for 18-24 months
