I have been plaqued by all kinds of symptoms and just recently discovered it is most likely candida. I had rashes, hives, prickles, body hot flashes, allergic feeling, sneezing, weird smell coming from body. When my rashes dry out I get dandruff like white dust (a sign of fungi) and this is when it starts to heal up - before that rash just about made me leap through the roof.

I started to use Neem oil. I put a few drops in water and because I don't have a bath put it on container and then dribble it over my body. I rub it in at last point in shower so it doesn't wash off then get out and let it dry. I don't put any creams on just dry.

I have been using it for about a week and so far the rash has almost gone - i don't itch nearly as much, no more hives, or prickles unless I get over hot.

I am also going to add in betonite clay/psyillum. Spices I crave but they may create too fast die off because I get really hot and itchy after I eat them.

I recommed Neem (some of the other oils I get reactions too but i'm fine with neem). Will you keep you posted - I can tell I have overgrowth in throat (not in mouth) and I guess probably just about everywhere. I am also going to try find some leaves to put in warm water and soak - or chew on.

hi, it sounds like you have tinea versicolor. i've had it since i was 12 (im 25 now...) and the only effective way i've found to get rid of it is H2o2 therapy w/food grade hydrogen peroxide. you have to drink it in water, and its totally gross, but it will cure you in about 2 weeks. tea tree oil castille soap is also helpful. the only prob is tinea versicolor recurs like 90%of the time :( i'll try the neem oil tho! maybe it can help me too!

Hi, for similar problems that were caused by the tinea fungus, it is true that neem oil will help a lot, but the best cure is apple cider vinegar. Use a piece of cotton and dab apple cider vinegar on the lesions, at least once a day. Let dry without rinsing. The fungus cannot live in an acidic medium. Don't forget those cracked heels: they can be infected by the same fungus, that also causes athlete's foot and jock itch, depending on the location. My 5 years old son had tinea on his back, then the fungus moved to his groin, so this was called jock itch, but it was the same tinea versicolor fungus. I cut the vinegar half and half with water to ease the sting to these tender parts, put it in a spray bottle, sprayed him all over his lesions everyday after shower. He waited for it to dry before putting clothes on. Everything disappeared within a couple of weeks.

Beware that cats and dogs can be carriers. A very good treatment would be to dab on or spray apple cider vinegar, then rub in a few drops of neem oil. 2 very good, powerful antifungal in conjunction. For athlete's foot, wet or soak the whole feet in vinegar. Then rub in a little neem oil. Best luck!

Hi, where any symptoms are to do with yeast/fungus.

I'd take a good look at your diet and do loads of research. There are so many things that feed off yeast, which may make the problem worse. Whilst neem and ACV can help on the outside of your body, you need to look at what you are putting 'into' your body, which could be the root cause. For instance, there is sugar in so many things. Even natural sugar in fruit. Take a good multi vitamin/mineral supplement. If you are cutting things out of your diet. So that you are not lacking in those.

One thing that might help, is a good probiotic yogurt. Preferably, one you make your self. You can also use this on your vagina which is very cooling.

Read the labels on everything you eat!

I had tinea versicolor once about 20 years ago, never came back though. I used Nizoral shampoo- on the area and wash your hair thoroughly leaving it on for a few minutes. It worked for me!

to BetterButNotCured - if you have an overgrowth of Candida Albicans, you need to cut it down to size. The best way of doing that for me is to take White Oak Bark supplements. There is also a product with cellulase and protease enzymes that works very well because it consists of enzymes that digests the fungus instead of destroying it and so the "healing crisis" is avoided. There are online tests to help you determine if you do have that fungal overgrowth.

Where can you get that product? How is the best way to use the neem powder and the neem oil for parasites?
