Kitchen Remedies and Natural Cures for Fungus
1. Minerals: tablet form- chromium chloride, sodium vanadate, and sodium tugnstate. The salt form (chromium, vanadium, and tungsten) is said to kill off fungus and yeast better than other forms. Many people take these to control blood sugar. Some people take these to kill off viruses.

2. Enzymes and aspirin can attack the protein coating. Some people say it works completely; others say it helps but not completely.

3. Oil of oregano, black walnut tincture, chlorella, probiotics, Coconut Oil

4. Herbs: (known to be antifungal) Black Walnut hulls, Barberry, Chamomile, Chaparral,  Cinnamon, Cloves, Fennel, Frankincense, Garlic, Geranium, Goldenseal, Guajava, Henna (antifungal hair product), Lavender, Lemongrass, Licorice, Marigolds (Calendula), Myrrh, Neem Oil (topically), Olive Leaf, Oregano, Pau D'Arco, Peppermint.

6a. Nail fungus: vicks vapor rub applied topically.

7. Body fungus: Soak for 20 minutes in a warm bath with one cup (8 ounces) of 3% clear ammonia.

7a. Body fungs: Somebody should try vicks vapor rub on skin fungus since it works for nail fungus. Let us know if it works.

8. Wash everything (clothing, mattress, walls) with borax and/or ammonia. Or throw the object away.

9. Wood: Cedar and Pine. These woods prevent fungus. Use as wall paneling or flooring.

10. Iodine kills fungus: one lady put iodine tincture on a tampon and vaginally inserted it to fix a fungus infection. Don't know why but she started bleeding. This is the only negative story this author has ever heard about iodine and fungus.

11. Gymnema slyvestre: a non-toxic herb. Candida albicans is treatable when in the yeast form, but it transforms into a vine-like structure, hyphal form, and causes great medical problems. This fungus also creates bio-film that makes getting rid of this fungus more difficult. This herb blocks its transformation and the bio-film, which means the body is most apt to control this fungus in its yeast form. This herbs also stops the growth of another fungus, Aspergillus. This is a time tested, safe herb. Diabetic patients have used Gymnema slyvestre for years to control blood sugar. And fungus loves sugar. So that might be the connection.

This author would like to know if this person ever tried the ammonia or vinegar baths.

Grandma's Bath-tub Remedy for Fungus
For External Fungus: Alternate between extremes: Soak in a tub of water with vinegar. If that does not work, then make it lots of vinegar. One child had to have three gallons of vinegar in her bath water to clear up a vaginal infection. If that does not work, then try baking soda. If that does not work, then make it lots of baking soda. If that does not work, then use lots of epsom salt. If that does not work, then try hydrogen peroxide; next use clear ammonia. "IF" it is fungus (or yeast), then one of these should work.

vinegar...baking soda...epsom salt....hydrogen peroxide....clear ammonia (Household ammonia is poisonous so don't drink it.)
