gal infections, take 6-8 capsules of garlic daily.
Vitamin B-complex Take tablets daily.
Vitamin C Take 500-3,000 mg of vitamin C in divided doses.
Vitamin D and E Take 400 IU each of vitamins D and E.
Zinc Take 15-50 mg of zinc. More than 15 mg of zinc should not be taken for more than a week or so without medical supervision as it may interfere with absorption of other minerals.
Some people seem more prone to athlete's foot than others. For example, people with excessively sweaty feet are more likely to develop fungal infections and should treat this condition. People prone to Candida, thrush and other fungi may also be more susceptible particularly after antibiotics and other treatments that destroy helpful bacteria.
Antibiotics can compromise the immune system by killing the good bacteria with the bad, leaving the person susceptible to infection. Without the good bacteria, the intestines can't synthesize the B vitamins which help enhance the immune system. To remedy this situation, eat several servings of yogurt with live cultures daily and take a high dosage of the B vitamins to rebuild your flora and help fight infection.
In general fungi thrive on moist, warm environments. Which is why this condition usually occurs in between toes due to an accumulation of moisture. Bruising, injuries or cracks in the skin can allow entry for the fungus.
There is probably a personal predisposition to develop it. Many people have the fungus present on their skin but are unaffected by the microscopic organism. While it does not necessarily spread like wildfire through a family, it can nevertheless be spread between individuals. A common point of infection is bathrooms, showers, swimming pools and changing rooms so wear slippers or shoes.
• At the first sign of a flare up or after sports, hiking or other shoe-bound exertion use Funki Foot Soak and soak your feet for 15 minutes in a mild case but up to half an hour if you are prone to severe infections. This will often help to avoid symptoms appearing completely.
• If symptoms persist use a weekly Foot Soak in combination with Funki Foot Ointment.
• Apply Funki Foot Ointment to the affected area in the morning and evening after bathing.
• Keep using the Funki Foot Ointment for two weeks after symptoms have gone.
• Dry the feet thoroughly after bathing especially in between the toes.
• Use a starch powder in socks and shoes to keep feet really dry.
• Wear cotton socks to absorb moisture and allow feet to breathe and change them daily.
• Funki Foot Ointment can be used on hands although it has a strong medicinal smell.
• Funki Nail Oil can be used to treat fungal nail infections naturally. The oil must be applied twice a day and particularly after bathing. It should be used for at least six months, in some cases a year, until the nail has grown from the nail bed to the tip and completely renewed itself. This is to avoid later re-infection from residual fungus.
• As with any treatment, test a small amount for 24 hours on a small patch of skin first, to check that you are not sensitive to or allergic to a particular ingredient.
