Mold and Fungus Remedies
Updated: 09/28/2011
"Molds (or moulds, see spelling differences) include all species of
microscopic fungi that grow in the form of multicellular filaments,
called hyphae. In contrast, microscopic fungi that grow as single
cells are called yeasts. A connected network of these tubular
branching hyphae has multiple, genetically identical nuclei and is
considered a single organism, referred to as a colony or in more
technical terms a mycelium.
Molds do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping, but
can be found in the divisions Zygomycota, Deuteromycota and
Ascomycota. Although some molds cause disease or food spoilage, others
are useful for their role in biodegradation or in the production of
various foods, beverages, antibiotics and enzymes." (Wikipedia)

ANTI-FUNGAL HERBS AND FOODS
11/23/2010: Sorrokine from Vs, Ny, Usa writes: "I was diagnosed by a
Toxicologist in 10/09 with Late Stage Two Mycotoxicosis from a biopsy
and a urine analysis. Doctors, Allergist and almost every doctor for
an entire year could not do this. They told me it was allergies and
such. I started to work in the basement office building May of 2008.
The symptoms started in as little as three months there. Inside the
mold contaminated building, I developed narcolepsy, boils, skin
redness, yellow spots on my skin, white hair, vision disorders,
depression, digestion issues, vomiting, jitters, shaking, mood swings,
almost like a bi-polar disorder, lack of normal bowel movements,
burning urine, really, the list goes on forever. Now before this
building, and this job, I was a healthy 28 year old, with not one sign
of any health issues. In fact I was fit, sound, and happy. Eventually
these doctors I had visited each time told me that this is something
they cannot investigate or they will loose their license as per the
FDA. Found out normal studies in medical school do not include
training on any type of mold sickness. What a Load of bull____.
Since being infected with mycotoxins and mold from a terribly poor
quality office environment for roughly 18 months, which was covered
with several different types of mold, (oozing with mycotoxins to the
point they dripped from the walls to the floor - yellow color - they
are the result of competing molds in their vicinity. ) I Finally began
to look into some sort of cure. Prior to me meeting this amazing
toxicologist, who is a leader in Mold sickness around the world, he
was also the first to explain to me that the only way to kill mold and
their toxins, is AMMONIA. (his info is on my site listed below) That's
it. Ammonia kills the mycotoxins as well as the mold itself. TO MAKE
THIS CLEAR - Bleach and peroxide cannot kill mold - they will just eat
it as food. So He carefully instructed me to pour a 8 ounce cup of 3%
clear ammonia into a warm bath and soak for 20 minutes. This saved my
lungs which were coated in mold and mycotoxins, as well as killed some
of the yeast in my skin and body from absorption and contact. I highly
recommend that if you know you're sick from mold, and near death,
honestly, this is the first step. Ammonia baths. It saved my life.
Also clean your house with it as well if you are not MCS (Multi-
chemical sensitive - which is a result of chemical treatments for
mold, and the mold itself causes this disorder - Baking soda kills
mold on contact, however cannot kill the mycotoxins)
Also it is important to remember a few things on this subject. Washing
all your clothing, sheets, towels and such in a cup of 3% clear
ammonia is highly important since you release mycotoxins from your
skin. They must be removed. Ammonia is the only way. Finally after two
years of suffering, almost dying in December of 09, I had to quit the
job and leave the premises that contained these terrible molds. My
boss, my landlord all could care less. Great people. OSHA, cared
little as well. I went to a homeopathic doctor who put me on an anti-
candida diet, which is the main reason those who suffer with mold
poisoning die so horribly. No carbs, no sugar, no yeast, nothing
fermented. Candidas Albicanis is a yeast in our gut that can take over
everything in our body when our immune system is compromised. It was
eating away at my skin, my muscles, my organs, the toxin invaded my
brain, and I lost sight partially in my left eye, and hearing in my
left ear. It feeds off of all the sugar and carbs you ingest, starving
your cells from the nutrients they desperately need. This diet didn't
do much, but it did help with the nausea and vomiting issues. I also
had a herbal tea mixture my friend and I researched. Bayberry root
bark, Pleurisy root, gotu kola, nettles, Cinnamon and cloves. I was on
this on and off in a two day cycle for about two months. Helped
drastically, but not so much all the symptoms. Also catnip tea helped
with the sleeping disorder and insomnia late at night. Teaspoon of
each in a 32 ounce pot. Drank whole pot in one day, repeated next,
then gave myself two days to recover.
So only as of about 3 months ago, I started a strict regimen of
Supplements I heavily research to aid me in my recovery since all
doctors said I was just going to die from this. The amazing
realization is that what I had researched, is a cure to mold poisoning
as well as candida infections. Yeasts, fungi and mold are not based on
chlorophyll, they are single cell life forms based on a bacterial way
of existence. Living off a host to gain nutrients. From Studying
different anti-fungal herbs and foods, I created a regimen of
supplements that has saved my life. They are:
Chlorophyll Supplements - (liquid gel caps, or liquid)
Alfalfa Extract - (for digestive and lack of appetite also lifts
mood. )
Grape Seed Extract(breaks thru the brain blood bond barrier to clean
out fluid inside)
Grapefruit Seed Extract - anti fungal
Milk Thistle - (Liver Function)
Oil of Oregano - Strong anti-fungal(only 3 wks on then 3 wks off)
Burdock (Liver function)
Dandelion (liver function)
Garlic - (Anti-fungal and heart help)
Onion - (anti-fungal)
Neem seed Oil (Exterior and interior treatment)
Rose hip Tincture
These I take in the morning when I wake up, and then again ever six
hours. So far in as little as 3 months, All the skin abrasions, yellow
spots, red boils, vision disorder, mood disorders, mood swings, bi-
polar disorder, depression, hearing disorders, jitters, narcolepsy,
brain fog, digestion issues, weakness of muscles, acidic body Ph,
yellow nails, odor, omitted toxins after bathing left on towels, (Yes
I smelled like mold, and after I bathed, the towel smelt the same way.
It is a smell you can never forget. ) all of these symptoms -
DISAPPEARING!! COMPLETELY FADING EACH DAY! I am so thankful I never
gave up, and I am forever thankful for these wonderful aids in finding
my recovery. I wanted to share this with as many people as possible
since there are over 500, 000 diagnosed deaths from mold sickness each
year, and thousands more that go on undiagnosed until autopsy.
Thank you and Here's to everyone learning we may have to live in a
polluted world, but we don't have to live with polluted bodies!"

high heavy metals. I'm going to die from this soon if I can't find
some real natural treatments.
Thanks for your help. ~ Judy ~"
03/12/2011: Tom from Regina, Sk replies: "Judy:
Regardless whether it was a hair test or other that determined you
have too much heavy metals, here is an interesting tie-in to
niacinamide you can start immediately to help with that part of your
problems.
It's from the post on Alzheimers just sent in today.
You can buy a big bottle of niacinamide form of B3 (not niacin! ) for
about $5 anywhere.
Article is from late 2009, high dose niacinamide in lab mice bred for
brain amyloid plaques:
The tubules are like highways inside cells. Dr. Green said that
niacinamide is "making a wider more stable highway. " Alzheimer's
disease breaks down the highway (tubules). But niacinamide prevents
this from happening.
I've previously told you how the toxic metal mercury also destroys
these microtubules, potentially causing Alzheimer's disease. So
anything that can prevent the damage or reverse it is a huge
discovery.
You could also directly bind loose mercury, easily the worst offender
of all heavy metals in the body, into the completely inert HgSe which
will be excreted using a good selenium supplement, meaning preferably
the organic form found right in plants and nuts, selenomethionine:
www.bing.com/images/search?q=selenomethionine&go=&form=QBLH&scope=images&filt=all
www.evenbetterhealth.com/mercury-poisoning-removal.php
Selenium is a potent chelator of mercury (it binds to it and removes
it from the body). Mercury exposure can therefore lead to a selenium
deficiency.
Selenium at 250 mcg per day should be used in any mercury chelation
program. Selenium has an unusually high "binding affinity" for
mercury, making it a vital part of the support protocol when
detoxifying mercury from the body."

to buy or deal with any sales pitch especially those that promote
information about using mice/rats for their experiments. I go against
any one that uses any living/breathing human, animal or even a mammal.
Thanks......"
07/14/2011: Mike from Regina, Sask replies: "You are exactly correct.
Your account is 100% accurate. Having worked in the supplement
industry, I learned much about different supplements that were on the
market (mostly for bodybuilding). Then my boss and I decided that we
should bring in natural products as it is a growing market and it's
important. Seeing all of the things that you listed is great. Oil of
Oregano is one of the strongest natural anti-fungal products out
there; an excellent choice.
What prompts me to write this reply is that I am just discovering that
my current sickness is due to black mold (Stachybotrys). It is a
mycotoxin which gives of potentially deadly spores. I moved into my
parents basement in a transition from moving from one city to another.
It was an easy way to move and have somewhere for all of my stuff :)
This winter destroyed the past records for snowfall which means, a LOT
of snowmelt. Basements everywhere were being flooded. Luckily, my
parent's house, built in 1987, withstood any water from penetrating
into the basement. BUT, black mold can still thrive as the ground is
saturated with moisture.
My gf, who is very healthy and has a great diet like myself, has
become oddly sick. Not just regular flu or cold symtoms, but odd uni-
lateral pains throughout her arms and legs. Very odd. After doctors
just gave her prescription strength drugs (which did nothing), she
went to a naturopathic doctor. They figured something else was up,
something viral. They gave her many natural products to take and said
to stay away from a high-arginine diet. Since we both have a high
protein diet for our gym lifestyle, arginine is a very abundant and
common amino acid. Her blood work also showed that she had high
amounts of creatinine in her blood and another test that was supposed
to be between 20-120, she was at 300. I can't remember the test....
Something like C/K, looks for broken down protein in the blood. Hers
was high, which is odd because she supplements with branched chain
amino acids everyday. When I had this ephiphany tonight about black
mold, I researched it. Sore throat and respiratory problems is a major
part of black mold sickness. Both her and I have had this nagging sore
throat for about a month, and nothing can cure it. ALSO I read that
black mold can prevent protein synthesis, which means, it prevents her
body from chaining amino acids together to make muscle protein! This
could explain the reason for the high amounts of this broken down
protein in her blood which could relate to the uni-lateral pains in
her extremities.
So I guess my message is, if you have these symtoms for longer than 2
weeks and there seems to be no cure or you aren't getting better, look
at your environment. Colds caused by a virus tend to be fought off by
your body in 12-14 days, as the affected cells in the nose, nasal
cavity, and throat get replaced every two weeks(ish). Colds caused by
a bacteria, like strep throat, can be treated with an anti-biotic and
can be greatly minimized within hours of taking the first does.
However, fungi are a different breed, especially when it comes to
black mold. You are constantly being bombarded by spores which
continually weakens or suppresses your immune system, not allowing you
to get better. LOOK INTO IT.
Thanks for reading, hopefully this can help other so they don't have
to go through something like my girlfriend did!"
09/28/2011: Tom from Plainview, Ny replies: "It is very important to
remove mold from your home as soon as possible. Breathing in mold
spores can be very dangerous to your health. Mold has been linked to
asthma, respiratory issues, skin rashes, headaches, dizziness, SIDS
and even cancer.We had mold in our home for years and didn't even know
it. It does not always give off that typical "moldy" smell. Call in a
mold professional to look over your home, they usually give a free
evaluation and price quote for a cleanup. Then you will have a better
idea of exactly what you are up against."

SIDE EFFECTS
[SIDE EFFECTS] 06/23/2010: M from Galveston, Tx writes: "Thanks to
everyone for the info, and mostly for the good humor. When I get days
as bad as today, I stay home from work, as I lose all sense of humor
and feel like I want to belt somebody. My mother used to drink ACV
(straight!) for various infections, and after reading all your
testimonials, I decided maybe I'd try some for my respiratory problem.
I am getting desperate, as no OTC or prescribed medications are
helping. I've had a chronic, violent cough which sometimes results in
vomiting, and almost always in loss of urinary control, caused from
living in a toxic mold-infested apartment after Hurricane Ike (and
this was one I moved to in order to get out of one that flooded). In
short, I have been coughing since January of 2009. The doctors don't
seem to want to think of my problem in terms of the mold exposure -
not sure why they are resistant to that - so they've tried
(unsuccessfully, but expensively) treating me with asthma and allergy
medications. Today I got some N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) from the health
food store, and am hoping that will give me some relief. Sleep would
be nice, too. After reading many of your comments, I thought I should
report that drinking ACV immediately caused me to BECOME congested,
where I hadn't been before. It could be that it's not the thing to
take for a mold infection (some hint of that on the mold forum, which
I read AFTER I drank the ACV!). Thanks, better breathing, and best
wishes to all."

11/23/2010: Sorrokine from Vs, Ny, Usa replies: "Mold poisoning is
serious and possibly will end in death. I have late stage two
Mycotoxicosis which was from a contaminated building no outside
ventilation. I had 18 months exposure. I was only 28. I was healthy
before this. Started working there 05/08 3 months started the
symptoms.
Surviving my almost death, I left job in 01/10 to try to live. Through
careful studies I found this. I cured myself by finding that ammonia
is the only known agent to kill mold and mycotoxins they leave behind
including Candidas Albicanus. That's the worst part of Mold poisoning
is when this yeast takes over from your digestive track. I have posted
a remedy on this website explaining all the needed info, however, to
give a short answer, and a website with my journey to healing, I will
provide you with this.
Grapefruit seed extract, grape seed extract, Chlorophyll liquid or
gelcap, Alfalfa Extract, Garlic and onion extract, Oregano, or oil of
oregano (if oil 3 wks on 3 wks off harmful to liver if not done so),
Milk Thistle, Dandelion, and Burdock root extracts. These combined
together in a six hour regiment will cure you. I am living proof. Also
if you are really overwhelmed with the sickness, taking a bath with an
8 ounce cup of ammonia will aid in removing the yeast and toxins from
your body. Also ALWAYS wash all your clothing, sheets, towels and such
in a cup of clear 3% ammonia (only use this kind of ammonia for all
said treatments) in your cycle and spray out dryer with it as well.
This will kill the toxins you ooze out from this sickness. If you
continue to recontaminate your body you will never recover. I wish you
well!"
12/19/2010: Zee from Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia replies: "I live in
South East Asia. It rains almost everyday. The walls of my house are
always damp. Sometimes, our wardrobes would be covered with molds too.
I would just wipe them away with dry cloth. But thank God none of us
suffered from mold or fungal infections. I attribute this to our diet.
I use onions, garlics, chillies, tumeric powder, tamarind juice and
all other spices if necessary. I think these are the reasons why we
are still healthy till today. Tumeric or tumeric powder is always used
on skin rashes. Eucalyptus oil is also good on rashes and burns too,
cos of its cooling and soothing effects on the skin which is
immediate."

Unfortunately, with mold illness/toxicity/exposure, the medical
treatment regimen is very individualized depending on gender,
genetics, exposure time and levels and mold type, and you haven't said
anything about these.
Here is a generic reply given a month ago here. Look for my 12/31/2010
post 1/4 down the page:
www.earthclinic.com/CURES/fibromyalgia_remedies2.html
The key site you want to visit is Dr. Shoemaker's newest one at the
root URL www.survivingmold.com
The specific area you want is under the "TREATMENT" tab, at:
www.survivingmold.com/treatment
His FIRST STEP is the most important by far! You will have to leave
your moldy workplace or domicile immediately and permanently, since he
claims that once exposure time reaches a certain length (again, highly
individually specific), the mold toxin damage may be irreversible,
even with the best current medical science.
If the patient feels fine with simple removal from exposure, no more
steps are needed. There are a few people who are fixed with this step
alone.
He uses cholestyramine, a Rx "old school" cholesterol-lowering drug
that comes in a gritty powder, as the base of his treatment. It binds
and holds, in the gut, the mold toxins that flood down into the gut
with the bile after a meal! But for those so badly damaged that even
the blood test markers are skewed, he uses all manner of other
science, like Epogen the Amgen RBC regenerating drug (hormone), plus
now many others.
IF you can print out some pages there, & IF you show some of his work
to your PCP who sees the match in symptoms with yours, then perhaps
you can get an "off-label" Rx for the cholestyramine right there
without consulting with Dr. Shoemaker in the interim to get started on
pulling out those mold toxins. The longer they circulate when unable
to breakdown & excrete them, the more damage they do."

I'm sorry that you had such a bad reaction to the ACV in your neti pot

before having problems. Maybe using 1/2 teaspoon of ACV daily as a
sinus wash was too much - did you try a few drops first?
Unfortunately, not every remedy works for everyone all of the time -
just like anything else in life. Anything you do (or eat, for that
matter, in the case of allergies) is your own responsibility. Please
don't blame Earth Clinic or Braggs - that's why companies have
disclaimers . . . use at your own risk. I hope your problems resolve."

daughter is a student and the house she shares is damp and full of
fungus on the walls. Her room is the worst. When I went to pick her up
for the Christmas holidays I took a plastic spray bottle of Borax and
water (just put enough Borax in so that no more will dissolve). I
sprayed the walls with it when I arrived and then wiped all the fungus
off. After helping her pack I sprayed the walls again and just left
them to dry. This was a last ditch attempt to make things better
because the landlord would not do anything.
When I took her back after Christmas I didn't know what we would find
but imagine my delight when we walked into her room to find not a
trace of mould.
Thanks to all on this website who have written about Borax and how it
kills fungus.
I hope this helps others in the same situation.
By the way, I live in the UK and it is impossible to buy Borax in any
shop (even Boots). They are now selling something called 'Borax
substitute' and no-one will give me a straight answer as to why they
won't sell Borax. One assistant in Boots said that it was because old
people used to put it in their eyes. Anyway, I eventually ordered a
tiny amount from Amazon and to be honest you don't need a huge amount.
Though one chemical company said they would sell it to my by the ton

[YEA] 09/14/2007: Debbie from Park Hills, MO writes: "M from Texas
wrote about ailments possibly stemming from toxic mold. My young son
and I are victims of toxic mold inhalation and exposure, so I have
learned more about the subject than I ever wanted to know. The most
important point I want to get to this person is, if you took things
from that apartment, especially if mold was visible on them, you have
just brought the problem with you. The mold is now growing in a new
home, and you are still exposing yourself to it. My son and I had to
leave everything behind and move from our home. Traditionally Western
medical practioners do not even want to acknowledge the health
problems associated with toxic mold; They have received no training
for it in medical school, and there is pressure on them from numerous
areas such as insurance companies, real estate management and
developers, etc., to not acknowledge the affliction. I am treating my
son with a number of natural remedies, although ACV hasn't been one of
them, I intend to try it. But what I have found to be helpful is pure
essential oils. Oregano is the best, but when mixed with Frankicense,
and a special formulated blend of Clove, Cinnamon, Rosemary, Lemon,
and Eucalytpus, the synergy of the Oregano is enhanced. I put these
oils into a gelatin capsule and take them orally. I also get massages
with oils over the spinal area which is where the fungi like to live,
in the spinal fluid. These oils with the massage, called a Raindrop
technique massage, will help drive the mold from your body. I do
experience the mold ejecting from my body with skin bumps that spit
out these nasty little white or brown crystal-like things, the size of
a piece of salt or a little larger. They get easily infected, so it is
important to keep the skin very clean, and to use Colloidial Silver or
some other method the keep bacterial growth down. I am open for ideas
to replace Colloidial Silver, because it is so very expensive. Any
ideas?? Also, we now use a diffuser in our home which diffuses
essential oils into the air we breathe. This has helped our conditions
a lot, and it helps ensure that as molds are being tracked into our
home, that we are killing them.
Just be sure that you are getting PURE ESSENTIAL OILS. They cannot be
fragrance grade or be adulterated in any way. If anyone would like
more information on where to get these oils, they can feel free to
contact me at danngann@att,net. Love your site!!!!!!!! Ask all to pray

lessened slightly. I hope it will keep improving. Also, I left my
apartment as soon as the mold was discovered (it was behind a wall and
as soon as the area was exposed my symptoms kicked-in full force). I
grabbed some clothes and ran. Is it safe to go back for my bed spread

follow me."
08/15/2010: Tom from Regina, Sk replies: "Laura:
There is a little known G. P. Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker in Maryland on
Chesapeake Bay who has been treating mold and other neurotoxin -
exposed victims since the late 1990s! He runs several websites:
If you have one or more of these unexplainable symptoms, you may have
been exposed to a biotoxin. Our research in biotoxins began almost 10
years ago, and during that time we have treated over 5, 000 patients
with Biotoxin-related Illness. Our cutting-edge work has led to the
development of an a brand new on-line screening test which can be
completed in about 20 minutes. (Unfortunately, this test is NOT
free. )
http://www.chronicneurotoxins.com/
Since he's got several days' reading up on those sites, not including
his several 300-500-page books, plus videos you can watch, maybe a
snapshot of his work, his findings & the treatment protocol would be
better first. It's CSM (cholestyramine, an Rx item):
http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?id=3990&t=CFIDS_FM
The main first thing to do always is to get out of harm's way by
vacating any known mold source. A 2nd clear warning given among all
this info is any unwell person is to stay away from any "moldy" foods.
This would include anything from small rot spots on fruits to blue
cheese and even Apple Cider Vinegar.
Here is one site which mentions Shoemaker, and which claims some kind
of peach tree extract works to pull out the mold neurotoxins:
http://www.royalrife.com/mold_toxins.pdf
Here's another one with what looks like a lot of real info, or a
complicated protocol to follow:
http://www.toxic-black-mold-syndrome.com/index.html
As far as salvaging your bedding, I don't know if you also mean the
bed, which until the place is thoroughly cleaned up and defogged for
days with either MMS (chlorine dioxide) or ozone, means it'll be
thoroughly tainted. To prevent a really long post here, there's got to
be scores of pest removal/mold remediation companies either online or
in the Yellow Pages. You could call them or e-mail and ask each how
EXACTLY they gas a contaminated building once the moldy parts are
removed and replaced. I believe they call it 'tenting', and it's
similar to the way they gas out termites and cockroaches."

[YEA] 04/05/2010: M.s from Athens, Greece writes: "So here it goes!
I am 18 years old and i had a mole on my cheek 5mm in diameter and
slightly elevated. I wanted it desperately removed since i got it(5
years old), so when i was 15 i went to the dermatologist to have it
removed. The dermatologist performed a shaving of the upper layer and
then an electrocauterization(pretty painful). She told me to revisit
her in 15 days. Well i went there after 15 days and guess what, the
mole was still there.
She told me to come back in 3 months time because it was summer and
she couldnt repeat the surgery again due to the sun. Because it would
make my mole worse. I watched it over the summer getting a bit better.
The swelling had gone away and it was a bit lighter. So i went to my
dermatologist some days before the school started. The same procedure
except for the shaving occured and i must admit that it was much
better than before. The swelling went away after 1 month but i
realised than not only the mole was there, under my skin this time
like a big sun spot, but it was formed like clusters of small moles
that looked like a melanoma, a condition also know as pseudomelanoma.
In the following year i went to several plastic surgeon and all said
that they couldnt remove it without leaving a very visible scar. I was
so depressed, i had tried everything. From internet remedies such as
lemon juice to expensive creams containing hydroquinone and other
harmful chemicals only to leave my skin swelled.
I kept fighting my mole desperately till on month ago. I was doing a
project on chemistry for the school. My research at that day was on
oxidisers, so i came across hydrogen peroxide. That molecule was so
fascinating. So i decided to research more on it. As i was searching a
came across some articles about hydrogen peroxide and moles. I told my
self, here is someting i havent tried yet. I searched on google and i
found here at earth clinic may testimonials about mole cures and
hydrogen peroxide. I was so amazed! It could even cure melanoma! So
after extensive searching i decide that i should give it a try!
I went at the pharmacy and bought 3% hydrogen peroxide.
I then went home and soaked a piece of cotton a little bit bigger than
my mole and kept rubbing it on the area for 10 minutes. Then i rinsed
the area with water and applied a cotton soaked with aloe vera juice.
I did this for 3 days 3 times a day and kept a cotton soaked with aloe
juice overnight. At first hydrogen peroxide seemed that it did nothing
but after the second application the area started to bubble and at the
second day it started to sting. As i woke the third day a scab had
formed. I decided not to mess with it because it would increase
chances of scaring. After 9 applications of hydrogen peroxide for ten
minutes then aloe(as much as the cotton soaked with aloe stayed wet)
and then overnight applications of aloe i stopped using hydrogen
peroxide. I kept using aloe overnight though until day five. Then i
started applying petrolium jelly on the scab as often as i could,
sometimes overnight to minimize scaring as i works like silicone
sheets which are very costly(i also used petrolium jelly on the area
everytime i would bath). 3 day ago(15 day after the treatment with
hydrogen peroxide started) i woke up and noticed i had little to no
scab and that at the place where the mole was i had skin which was a
bit pink. I was stunt! I said, wow it actualy worked! And here i am 18
days after the first application completly healed :D. I am very
thankful for earthclinic because it changed my life my this remedy!
Thank you earthclinic!! :D"

QUESTION
[YEA] 01/05/2008: Robert from Naples, Florida writes: "The question
of whether Vicks Vapo-Rub works on toenail fungus was the subject of a
University of Michigan study about a decade ago. Their conclusion was
positive; they isolated the specific ingredients that worked, and
received U.S. Patent 6,361,785 (look it up to see the results of the
research).
Also note that 90% of toenail fungus is caused by four dermatophytes
that are the same culprits in athlete's foot and jock itch.
(Therefore, to prevent re-infection, one must get the fungi everywhere
- nails, feet, & crotch. Also change towels regularly, and don't dry
your feet first, then transfer the fungus to another place.)
The formula (based on the research study, (which I've adapted for a
more natural cure) is: 1 part Menthol oil
1 part Thymol oil
1 part Camphor oil
1 part Lemon Eucalyptus oil
1 part Tea Tree Oil
5 parts DMSO
5 parts Aloe Vera
5 parts Rubbing Alcohol
(the oils can be bought on e-bay, DMSO in a health store)
Apply twice a day to nails and feet. I've suffered from this vexing
problem for 40 years, as did my mother and grandmother. It works."

01/06/2008: Ellen from Redwood Shores, CA replies: "To Robert: Were
you successful in fully eradicating the toenail fungus? Btw, it was
Michigan State University's patent, not University of Michigan. I did
look it up and skimmed the Doctorese. I was familiar with the Meijer's
Chest rub study. Thanks for providing this information!"
01/20/2008: Robert from Naples, Florida replies: "Robert's Fungus Saga
– Vicks Update
Part One: Feet
Q. Do the ingredients (camphor, eucalyptus, thymol, menthol) work?
A. I've applied the solution on my nails as well as to my entire foot
to get rid of all the fungus that might eventually cause a
reoccurrence. The results were obvious after 4-5 days: first, the
athlete's foot symptoms between my toes rapidly got better and were
healed in about a week. Then, at the seven-day point lots of skin
started sloughing off all over my feet where the fungus was obviously
in hiding -- including the heal callus. I was surprised to see so much
sloughing of the skin around the base, sides and top of the toe nails
-- this area apparently had been deeply affected by the fungus, but
just looked like tough skin that I had become accustomed to expect.
Within 2-3 weeks the unaffected new toe nails could be seen at the
cuticle. Now, several months later, there is a clear line of
demarcation between the old fungal nail, and the new clear nail. I
expect that it will be 3-4 more months before all the old nail has
grown out and gone.
Q. Is the formulation the right one?
A. After much research and playing kitchen chemist, I learned that
coconut oil is a good anti-fungal as well as a great emollient. DMSO
doesn't need to be at 25% concentration. 10-15% is sufficient. Oregano
Oil is composed of Thymol and University of Western Australia research
proved tea tree oil's anti-fungal capability, so I added it as well.
The essential oil amounts are at least or a little more than what bio-
chemists call the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). The
formulation I like and use now is:
Revised Formula
1 part Menthol oil
1 part Thymol oil or Oregano oil
1 part Camphor oil
1 part Lemon Eucalyptus oil
2 parts Tea Tree Oil
2 parts DMSO
12 parts Virgin Coconut Oil
There is probably a synergistic (i.e. harmonious working together)
effect of anti-fungal herbs, which has been demonstrated in several
studies. In one test of ten plant species whose oils were anti-fungal,
researchers noted that "combinations of the anti-fungal essential oils
increased their activity remarkably." In a similar study, researchers
stated that "in all the oil combinations, the anti-fungal potency was
found to increase over individual oils."
Part Two: Adult "Acne"
This is where the "saga" starts to get interesting. After my
adolescent acne should have cleared up 35 years ago, it got slowly
worse. All over the bearded part of my face, what appeared to be sacs
of hardened oil under the surface of the skin had been forming
nodules. These didn't get infected,' each just grew larger. Over the
years I've seen dermatologists who said, because of my otherwise great
health, "you're just a middle aged adolescent," blaming it on high
testosterone, etc. The apparent acne problem continued and worsened.
I've seen doctors, dermatologists, pharmacists, herbalists, laser
specialists, and spiritual healers. I've bought every acne ointment
known to man. I took pills, vitamins, and herbs. I changed diet. I get
plenty of exercise. Nothing worked. I had extensive surgery to correct
the problem three years ago, and within 18 months it looked just as
bad as before. As a public speaker and author in my profession, the
skin condition was emotionally upsetting and stressful.
Having conquered toe nails, I started researching down the path that
maybe the acne was caused by a fungus (although the symptoms didn't
look like my feet). Was I surprised when I found:
" Tinea barbae is a superficial dermatophyte infection that is limited
to the bearded areas of the face and neck and occurs almost
exclusively in older adolescent and adult males. Symptoms include
inflammatory, deep, kerion-like plaques and noninflammatory
superficial patches and lumps resembling bacterial folliculitis. The
hair breaks off below the skin surface. It is caused by several
dermatophytes. Trichophyton species are most common. Infection of
bearded skin may be the result of autoinoculation from tinea pedis or
onychomycosis."
In other words, the mess on my face that had caused me so much grief
and been misdiagnosed for decades was caused by the same fungus that
gave my feet a problem. Apparently the dermatophytes enter the hair
follicle (nails and hair are similar biological structures), then
attack the sebaceous gland, feeding off the body oil; then the body's
immune system reacts with scaring and hardening the facial oil,
leaving an oil nodule. The dermatophytes then migrate to the next
follicle, and eventually dozens of affected follicles link as a nodule
the size of a pea.
Now it became obvious what had happened: The athlete's foot I got as a
teenager went to my toe nails, and, because I was ignorant of the
relationship of using a towel on my face that might have been used on
my feet or crotch, the fungus got transferred.
Not a single dermatologist who examined my face ever bothered to ask
the question: "Do you have toe nail fungus or athlete's foot!"
Using the same solution on my facial outbreaks as on my toe nails (the
revised formula with coconut oil), the facial condition is clearing
up. Just like with my feet, skin is sloughing off and the nodules are
beginning to eject. This is the best result I've seen in years. I
expect it will take a few months for the problem to be cured, as the
fungus is down below the level of the base of the hair follicle in the
sebaceous gland.
Part Three: Chronic Sinusitis
For the last 15 years I've had chronic sinusitis, post nasal drip,
clogged nose, etc. I was constantly clearing my throat, and sometimes
coughing. I snored a lot, which my wife didn't appreciate, and the
snoring actually would wake me up in the middle of the night, leaving
me tired in the morning. I seemed to catch colds more easily than
before, but I attributed this to my very frequent plane travel.
Doctors prescribed antibiotics, but I they did not fully cure the
problem and when I stopped the treatment, every symptom returned. (And
I just don't like unnatural treatments.) Others said it was
allergies.
I wondered: Could my sinusitis be a fungal problem? More exploring on
the internet found the answer:
In 1999 Mayo Clinic researchers found the cause of most chronic sinus
infections to be an immune system response to fungus, and that this
may kick off a secondary bacteriological infection. It is not an
allergic reaction, but an immune reaction.
Again, I felt betrayed by the medical profession. Why hadn't anyone
told me this?
I went to the health and vitamin store to look for an anti-fungal
nasal spray, and nothing met my requirements or budget ($10-15 for a
one ounce bottle of ingredients seemed way out of line.) Here's the
formula I "invented:"
1. Rinse out a 1 ounce nasal spray bottle
2. Add one eye-dropper (approximately 1 ML) of Oregano Juice (NOT
Oregano Oil –it's too strong and will not dissolve in water)
3. Add a pinch of salt (approximately ½ ML) (Iodized salt is OK –
iodine is a good anti-fungal)
4. Fill the rest of the sprayer with distilled water, and shake well
until the salt is dissolved.
Spray as frequently as once an hour until symptoms subside. For me,
this solution began working within an hour; most symptoms were gone in
three days. And the price of the ingredients per bottle is just a few
pennies.
If the oregano/saline solution is too strong for you, dilute in half
with water. If you want, you can add a drop of eucalyptus oil with ½
ML of glycerin, (which will bond the oil to water). I now spray once
or twice a day, just to prevent any recurrence.
A very dear friend, who is 75, has had awful sinusitis for years. He
heavily cleared his throat every minute or two. I told him of this
simple formula, and two days later he called me to say it was working.
He then said with amazement: "I don't believe it, we've been talking
for over 15 minutes and I haven't had to clear my throat once!"
There are articles and books that claim that some cancers are caused
by fungus. If this is true, taking action on fungus early may be very
beneficial in the long run. It's time we gave fungus a deeper
analysis."
01/21/2008: Ellen from Redwood Shores, CA replies: "To Robert, Thank
you for sharing your research with us. It is fascinating! I no doubt
transferred my toenail fungus to my face and I also have Rosacea--do
you? I did read somewhere recently that the oils are the best remedies
and it certainly sounds like they are, judging from your research.
Regarding your recipe, I do have a question. With coconut oil being a
solid, how do I mix it with the other liquid oils? Thanks again for
sharing! I am hopeful to see the line of demarcation, too!"
01/22/2008: Robert from Naples, Florida replies: "Coconut Oil melts at
80 degrees F. If it's solid, just run the container under warm water.
The essential oils, when added, lower the melting point to below room
temperature.
Regarding Rosacea, the following information may be helpful from
internet research: "The Rosacea diagnosis includes a range of
inflammatory events in facial skin. The range is so broad that it is
reasonable to ask if Rosacea' is too fuzzy a term that can apply to
diverse immune-mediated events in the skin with different causes....
Seborrhea is a related condition that involves the hair-bearing skin
of the scalp and face, all expressions of infection with the fungus,
pityriasis ovale. Seborrhea can involve the central forehead, skin
under the eyebrows and beard and may contribute to or be confused with
Rosacea."
Hope this helps."

bumps to the base of my chin and two areas of my neck. No reaction
from 3% ever before.
*5 months ago both big and little toes became extremely infected...

rounds of anti-biotics my toes still aren't quite right. Approx. 40%
of each big toe remains numb. Forget standing for more than an hour or

First I thought I'd picked up Scabies. Nope. Then found a site called

Talk about depressing! Kept looking. Parasites? Something is coming

While I check in on this site periodically (found numerous treatments

early this morning I found my way back here. And boy did I come
running back! Check out the Image Bank at drfungus.org. Yep! This
seems the most likely fit to my symptoms... could be wrong though but
worth a try.
I believe my home is sick. Mold in the bath room seemed contained
behind shower wall. Kitchen sponge doesn't mold when I leave it full
of soap to dry out. Other usual precautions when living in an old,
moldy home. It gets worse. Two dogs have pee'd on my kitchen and
living room carpet so many times that I've literally went nuts 3 times
ripping out carpet... swore I wouldn't replace until they were gone.
Finally this year... Fidos are gone - ruining my son's apartment
carpet now.
Anyway... though I'd scrubbed all the yukky stuff from the sub
floors... a dark gluey substance remained behind in numerous places -
nothing I could think of touched it. I've just been throwing area rugs
here and there to hide.
Was going to brush my hair - to check if scalp was red, bumpy, etc.
There were things growing on my brush! Upon magnificatin, no doubt
some form of mold has completely taken over when I wasn't looking. So
here's I am!
Not really thinking, I picked up an area rug and poured H202 on the
mysterious black tar/glue substance. Ahh, the trusted bubbles went to
work. Within one minute I could see white spores beginning to appear
from the blackened floor. Couldn't help but notice some of the
disgusting particles I keep finding on my skin is also in this
bubbling puddle of burn-the-damn-house-down mess. What is in the
ceiling? Behind the walls? Under the other floor coverings? Ughhh!
http://aromatherapy4u.wordpress.com/2008/08/05/974/ has a doctor
claiming Baking Soda kills Cancer which is really Yeast/Fungi. What
the hell? I've already this in my home thanks to Earth Clinic! Rubbed
it all over, head to toe... letting the crumbs fall where they may.
Appears the mold on the floor will be much easier to remove than the
re-dried mess the H202 left behind. Of course I'll be needing a Haz-
Mat suit!
Hey, the burning itch hasn't bothered me in a few hours and one of my
big toes is beginning to have feeling again!
No doubt will try many of the great ideas I've read this morning from

Candidiasis I'm up against. Maybe I won't have to watch all my skin
and hair rot off only to welcome the finalle of painful death.
Really folks, take a look at drfungus' "Clinical" pictures of Fungi/
Yeast. The medical communities around the globe have no excuse for no
education or treatment. I take their silence as a personal attack on
all of us who have ever had, have, and will have to suffer from any

many drops as you can fit into a gelatin capsule. The taste is awful.
But not when you take it like this. Take two capsules of this 3 times
a day, till bottle is gone, remembering to stay OFF THE SUGAR, CORN
and WHEAT. Mayo clinic findings has determined that there is nothing
stronger to kill mold, fungus, bacterial and viral infections. i know
this works. Check out Doug Kaulfmans web site. Garlic kills pathogens
too. Research!!! many things kill these bastards. It may be essential
to rotate. Garlic for 1 week. And I mean RAW, chopped up garlic,(with
food in your tummmy before swallowing).etc."

oregano works very well as an antibiotic and anti-fungal, be sure not
to abuse it. just like prescription antibiotics your body can become
dependent on them. it will also kill the "good" bacteria in your
digestive system."

OZONE TREATMENT
09/17/2010: Srindge from Melbourne, Fl, Usa writes: "My husband is an
acupuncturist & we live in Melbourne, FL. We recently had our air
conditioner upgraded. Unfortunately since our previous one was barely
operational when the new one kicked on so did the mold that had
accumulated. We used many of the methods so noted but also added ozone
treatment. It took a couple of days (we ran ours 8 - 12 hours during
the day)and there is no further sign. Unlike all the internal bodily
solutions the ozone treatment attacks the problem at source within the
home and behind the walls. We found the following for a friend in the
Chicago area where one can rent the equipment. Consider renting
equipment or having professionals ozonate your home for you."

REMEDIES NEEDED

2009 moved into a 1970's bi level. We discovered mold in the home.
Cleaned it up as much as we could. I began having what appeared to be
sinus infections, dosed w/ anti biotics and steriods. CT scan in 2010
showed no sinus infection. Face swollen, barely breathing. Got a mold
test on house - bad conditions. Mold had regrown!!!!! I now have
severe abdominal pain with alternating constipation, muscle pain and
headaches. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but the doctor did
not connect with the mold I had told her about. My doctor did not
connect anything. I am 46 years old worked out everyday for 22 years
was in perfect health before I moved into this house. I cannot walk 20
minutes before my muscles clench in my legs.
My life as I knew it is over. I worked 60 hours a week in a frenetic
car dealership. I have been asleep for 6 months. I did the candida
diet, and it did help because I could not talk and form sentences in
November 2010.
we removed the carpet and did what we could. thank you for the info,
lynn"

I found as a very young kid I had something wrong with me, I never
liked the hot summers, I had blurred vision and headaches, I could
never gain weight (no appetite) I always loved candy. When I was in my
early twenties I still weighed the same; I was 130 lbs. And was 5'11"
I was very moody and very late in developing as a normal female would
have. My self and my siblings grew up in a very cold wide open house
where winter was just as cold inside as it was outside. When I was
approx. ten years old, my baby Dr. told me I had some sort of blood
disease but he wasn't sure therefore tests were never done. Further on
down the line I tend to have followed what ever this was, my mood
swings became severe, I was put on meds. Until I stopped taking them.
Many doctors were continuously treating me for urinary tract
infections, which made me 100 times worse.
The another Dr. told me I needed a D&C things progressed slowly, I was
hyper active, I moved into what I never knew was a very cold damp apt.
but I used the fireplace which was cozy but the mold was still lurking
in the corners and closets, so the damage is done twice (home & apt.)
In 2000, I was given surgery on my neck as I was told I had bone spurs
(not true) what that surgery did was further weaken my immune system
and made me worse. I have been to many Drs. with no hope, I have been
picked, probed & you name it. Today I am 100% crippled because of the
lack of the system and their lack of knowledge or is it ignorance? My
muscle strength went from 100% down to 0/5 and getting weaker. I
continued to make the mistake of covering up my real problems by
eating a half gal. ice cream every three to five days which only makes
it worse. Whereever there is mold/fungi there are parasites, these
parasites love acidic inviornments, anything pickled, vinegar etc.
spicy foods, most definately sugar/sweets.My diet was almost nothing.
Recently my newer Dr. gave me an anti-biotic for infections an it
really did me in, I thought this was my last days here on mother
earth, I was in bed for three weeks burning up, the plus side was good
as it was ridding me of poison toxins, today is the first day without
ice cream and feeling better. One of my diagnosis was toxoplasmosis, I
was told it was parasites from damp conditions/environments. It is
true that once we have this disease it does shed, any one can catch
it, I've seen many friends die very young without warning, I am the
carrier, which means the host lives longer then those that randomly
catch it and/or with immune systems that might be on the weaker side.
My brother died of toxins very young. The Dr. told me it was toxins
but not what type. Another brother died young from toxins & heart
failure, he went into ER with severe pain in his left arm they sent
him home told him to take two aspirin that same night he died. My
younger sister died from mold starting from the brain spreading all
without warning. It's so sad doctors know the truth but never tell of
it.
I am happy to see someone else writing about the same interests as
mold/fungi because others thought I was bonkers. Even another older
sister and brother have the same signs but refuse to believe what I
say, they seem to have felt that sleeping in a freezing cold wide open
house was healthy(denial) and yet they allow their doctors exploit
them. Although my older brother must have a half way decent Dr.
because he told my brother not to eat any dairy products or anything
spicy or pickled. I am so happy to see a lot of people joining in this
chat and finding that together we can all conquer these issues.

dear. I am glad you are ready to take the plunge and get healthy. It
sounds like you diet is/was a major issue in addition to enviornment.
When you become armed with knowledge, you can fight off most
condtitions.
As a child we just dont know, but as an adult and feeling crappy all
the time, why wouldnt you examine your diet? We fuel our bodies on
what we consume, maybe that is not common knowledge. To me its common
sense, but I have taken an interest in natual health and healing for
many years.
My suggestion is to get on a good probiotic, daily. Make sure you get
nutrition from plenty of veggies and lean meats. You may want to
consider organic. Remember lots of colors in the fruits and veggies.
Try a parasite cleanse, drink plenty of water. Use whole grains, get
rid of refined foods (SUGAR!!!! ) gluten, and probably yeast. This
would be my first line of defence, then see if you need to remove
dairy from your diet. You may not need that, give your new way of
eating plenty of time to work befoe you decide it does or does not
work.
I bet you will feel better in a very short time. I am not saying not
to take a good quality multi vitamin, however the reading I have been
doing of late says you are better off getting you vitamins from food.
There is so much information out there on the net about healthy
eating. Sites like this where nobody is trying to sell a product, just
a bunch of people that want good health."
03/13/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Mass. replies: "Jamie;Thank you so
much for your much needed info. I found my bone density is very low so
I do take calcium, magnesium, selenium, b12 plus a couple others to
build up my strength. I think my need for so much sugar was to numb my
own emotional pain, eventually I woke up to find this isn't right.
With this mold/fungi It is a very complicated disease & going un-
noticed for many years by doctors by then it's almost too late to
treat, others don't know they have it and those that do may not have
ways of searching alternative cures.
Before I found any real help and the support on this web site I was
lost & Dr's acted as if fungus did not exist in the human body;and
this disease progressed beyond repair, but I do hope to at least save/
repair what little of me that I can. When mold/fungi is in the picture
there is also parasites involved. I found some thing I did days of
searching on and thats L-Lysine & colloidal silver, back in the 30's &
40's these were used for anti-biotic's and found to work great until
the American industry came up with penicillin which never worked;any
fungi disease is going to reject penicillin which both derive from
mold/fungus.Also with mold/fungi it is not a good idea to eat or use
any dairy products.
