Cure for Fungus Poisoning

Fungal infections seem to be more and more widespread these days and can include ring worm, Candida overgrowth (Candidias Albicans), yeast infections, jock itch, and athlete’s foot. While some of these problems are externally contagious, such as athlete’s foot and ring worm, some are caused by an imbalance of our internal environment. Just as mold and fungus need a warm, moist environment externally, bacteria and fungus need a certain environment to thrive in internally. Therefore, if we change our inner environment and make it less fungus-friendly, these problems will tend to disappear.
Some causes of internal fungal infections such as yeast and Candida include:

• Sugar: Sugar is bad bacteria’s favorite food. Keep feeding it sugar, and it will think you want it to stay!
• Caffeine: Caffeine wipes out the good bacteria in your digestive tract and may allow fungal overgrowth to get a head start.
• Antibiotics and birth control pills: These can change your internal environment, causing it to be more fungus-friendly. If you are on birth control pills, it may be wise to supplement every day with acidophilus.
• Lack of cellular oxygen due to mucus in the system: Fungus doesn’t like fresh air—it likes a stale environment and carbon dioxide to bathe in. Fungus thrives in or on a body that is not exposed regularly to fresh air. By now, you’re probably itching to know how to get rid of these things!

Charcoal and Other Supplements to the Rescue

Activated charcoal capsules should be taken immediately if food poisoning or any other type of poisoning is suspected. This cannot hurt you, and in most cases you’ll be much happier safe than sorry. Activated charcoal has properties that attract and absorb poisons, making them unavailable to your body and therefore neutralizing the effect a poison will have.
Hydrated bentonite clay has a similar effect. Its powerful absorbing properties eliminate toxins, especially those in the colon, and remove them from your body. Aloe vera and slippery elm are other herbs that have a laxative effect on the bowel. Both can be taken with any of the previously mentioned supplements to help your body quickly rid itself of wastes via the bowel. As always, whenever your body needs to flush out poisons or toxins, drink plenty of clean water to assist the process.

Lobelia: Helping You Spit It Out

We talked a little bit about lobelia and explored how it can serve as an expectorant to help the lungs get rid of wastes. But lobelia also serves as an emetic, which means that too much of it can cause you to throw up. This can come in handy if someone has swallowed any type of poisonous substance. A liquid form of lobelia could be most effective. Take your lobelia until you get the desired effect.
Lobelia is native to North America and is also known as Indian tobacco—and, most appropriate to its emetic quality, it is also known as pukeweed! Native Americans smoked this herb to treat asthma and lockjaw because lobelia has an ability to relax tissues and seems to soothe coughing. Because of lobelia’s emetic effect, it should be taken in larger quantities only when used to promote vomiting, such as in the case of poisoning. However, many have used to lobelia to induce vomiting as a fast-forward way to cleanse.
Lobelia could be considered the best herb remedy for poisoning, but you should seriously consider utilizing other natural substances, such as those discussed in the following sections, if you have been poisoned by a contaminant.
