Many people are affected by fungal infections. And although an outward fungal infection is usually discovered quickly, its treatment usually takes a long time. In many cases, the symptoms disappear after treatment with medications, but unfortunately that success is often short-lived.
What types of fungal infections are there?
Fungal infections manifest themselves as athlete’s foot, nail fungus, skin fungus or genital fungus. But fungi can also enter the bloodstream via the intestines and in this way even infect individual organs and body parts such as joints or the lungs. These types of fungal infections are usually recognized late and often such a fungal infection is not considered to be the cause of the complaints at all. But regardless of the nature of the fungal infection, there are various natural remedies and remedies to get rid of fungus permanently.
Why do molds keep coming back?
Not infrequently, a fungal infection returns after treatment with medication:
- the skin that becomes red and itchy again;
- a foot nail that changes color again;
- or new burning sensation in the genital area.
What helps is fighting the cause
It often drives people to despair. Fungal infections must therefore be treated causally. The reason that fungi return after apparently successful treatment is that anti-fungal therapies only combat the external characteristics of the fungus. A nail fungus is only combated on the nail, a skin fungus on the skin and a genital fungus is treated with the right medication in the genital area. Unfortunately, the actual cause of mold is usually not considered. Instead, people are using increasingly stronger medications. And yet the cause of a recurring fungal infection is often obvious: fungi often find the ideal, acidic environment in the patient’s body. They will find everything they need to grow and multiply quickly.
Fungi need an acidic environment or diseased tissue
Just as fungi in nature grow in acidic soil and feed on dead plants or carcasses, pathogenic fungi live in the human body under similar conditions. They prefer high acidity and diseased tissue as a food source. If fungi only thrive where they find acidic or diseased tissue, then in the event of a fungal infection it can be assumed that the person’s body provides exactly what fungi need to multiply. They can thrive and grow in an overly acidic and weakened body.
Fungi have a preference for the small intestine
How dangerous a fungal infection actually is becomes apparent when the fungus multiplies in the intestine. Because fungi do not need oxygen to survive, they find the ideal living conditions in the small intestine. Every food passes directly through the stomach into the small intestine. And even before the valuable nutritional components are released into the blood, the fungi have already feasted on them. Carbohydrates in abundance and valuable calcium, everything a fungus needs to be happy. In that case, depending on the size of the fungal population, the person infected with a fungus is in dire straits because there are no longer as many nutrients left for him.
A strong immune system doesn’t give fungi a chance
Normally, the immune system ensures that fungi and other invaders are neutralized before they can damage our health. If fungi have nevertheless managed to spread excessively in the body, this usually indicates a weakened immune system of the person concerned. Incorrect diet, prolonged stress or regular use of medication can be just as responsible for weakening the immune system as a chronic illness or heavy metal pollution. Therefore, long-term treatment can only be successful if all these factors are addressed and resolved.
