Hi Jose... When I had Candida, I also had problems with eczma, psoriasis and jock itch(tinea cruris). And when I got rid of my candida - the psoriasis and eczma both just disappeared. The jock itch stayed and was tenacious -- I even thought MRSA might be involved. Like you, I tried everything -- even expensive creams and steroids couldn't shift it. I had had this jock itch for over 8 years. In the end I used Milk of Magnesia full strength. I would have a shower at night, then spread the MoM all over my parts and let it dry(dries very quickly). I would then leave it on overnight and shower it off the next morning. After only 2 days -- no more jock itch!! -- completely gone, normal healthy skin again.
The way MoM kills fungus, viruses and bacteria is unique. The MoM has a pH of 10 -- very alkaline, and all viruses, bacteria and fungus will be eradicated at this pH. Secondly, MoM contains Magnesium Hydroxide which is highly hydrophobic -- drives water away -- so the MoM also sucks all the moisture out of these bad organisms and kills that way as well.
When I used the MoM as described against my jock itch, it was very soothing and cooling, didn't sting or anything. And it didn't harm my skin at all. However, if you do have sensitive skin then I would just apply the MoM 3 times a day for 30 minutes only(until it dries to a sort of white powder on your skin) and then wash it off afterwards.
I also now use another similar concoction which has worked very well for my toenail fungus. This consists of mixing the following:
2 tablespoons Milk of Magnesia
2 tablespoons 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/2 tspn Borax(20 Mule Team Borax will do fine)
This mix will add to the microbial killing power of the MoM and is also quite effective.Replied by Sara (The Beach, Canada) on 08/23/2010
I just wanted to let you and others know, I am taking the coconut oil for candida, and a very surprising side effect has been a very substantial improvement with my eczema and psoriasis. Hope this helps you. Peace.
