Jock itch is a common skin infection caused by a type of fungus called tinea. Men with HIV virus or other immune system disorders are highly susceptible to the disorder.
All causes of infection are the same for any fungus infection and an excessive intake of antibiotics and other drugs simply weakens your immune system. What to do? Find out if you’re infected with a simple saliva test. If your saliva just dissolves and dissipates there is likely no infection.
THE “ITCHERS”
Balantis (commonly referred to as “the itchers”) affect the male genital organs. It causes you to experience burning and hot sensations, feels tender to touch, creates soreness and is red in appearance.
CANDIDA OR TURF FIGHTERS
The candida or turf fighters are fungi which affect the whole body. You must rid your system of this bacterial type immediately as it is considered quite severe and, in certain extreme instances, may even prove life threatening.
HOW PREVALENT IS THIS INFECTION?
Americans spent about $24 billion on over-the-counter anti-infection products in 2004. The amount spent has increased exponentially since then and has become a very lucrative business, making ever-increasing billions in sales each year. Hundreds of different manufacturers produce thousands of products consumed by over 17 million people in the United States alone.
HOW YOU GET INFECTED
Studies show the intake of certain foods is one important cause of yeast infection. These foods include bread, other bakery products, alcoholic beverages, beer, wheat products, corn products, peanuts and barley. When ingested molds from these food groups take up residence in your digestive system and become systemic.
The fungus thrives in the warm moist areas of the body. Tight clothing and underpants make the wearer perspire and create a very favorable habitat for these bacteria.
COMMON SYMPTOMS
Common symptoms include bad breath, bloated indigestion, memory loss, athletes foot, jock itch, and prostate problems.
CURES AND TREATMENTS
Over The Counter (OTC) medicines can be used to help relieve itchiness and burning feelings until yeast infection is cured. Change underclothing as often as possible. To treat apply OTC medicine directly to the infected area on the penis twice daily for a week.
If the infection is extreme I recommend you see a doctor for a prescription of Diflucan or Nizal.
THREE NATURAL CURES THAT RELIEVE AND ERADICATE SYMPTOMS
ONE -- Vinegar. That's right. Diluted vinegar. It's important not to apply pure vinegar directly as this may irritate the genital area. Never apply straight to the area without diluting first with water.
TWO - Organic Coco Oil. Take one or 2 teaspoons a day for one month. The organic coco oil, an oral medication, works by exploding the nucleus and plasma of the inside of the yeast cell, thus killing it.
THREE - Unsweetened yogurt (4 oz) may be eaten 2 or 3 times per day to counteract the bacteria. You may also experience rapid short-term relief by applying unsweetened yogurt directly to the area.
