• Keep the skin clean and dry.  Expose the affected area to the air as much as possible.
• Wear clean cotton clothing and underwear.  Do not wear clothing or use towels more than once without washing them, preferably in hot water with chlorine bleach added - We here at Natural Nutrition strongly recommend against using any toxic chemical including chlorine bleach.  We recommend using our environmentally safe germicidal in replace of chlorine bleach.
• Try not to allow an infected area of the body to come in contact with healthy skin.  People who have fungal infections in one area often also have infections in other areas.
• If you are nursing a baby and your baby has thrush, or you develop sharp, shooting pains during feedings, or both, consult both your child's and your own health care provider.  You may have a fungal infection.  Both you and your baby should be treated to ensure a cure.
• To treat ringworm, use a sterile pad and apply colloidal silver to the affected area.  Hands and feet can also be soaked in this solution, a natural antibiotic that destroys some 650 different  microorganisms.
• For ringworm, mix 1/2 clove crushed garlic with 1/4 cup vegetable oil.  Coat the affected area with honey, then apply the garlic mixture (avoid healthy skin).  Cover loosely with sterile gauze that allows air to penetrate.  Leave in place for hours.
• If you have been treating a fungal infection on your own and you develop symptoms of a worsening infection, such as increased redness and swelling or fever, consult your physician.  You may have developed a bacterial infection on top of the fungal infection.
• For fungal infections underneath the fingernails, soak your nails in a mixture of 50 percent white distilled vinegar and 50 percent pure water for ten to twenty minutes daily.
• There are numerous topical antifungal preparations available in drug stores.  However, we believe that garlic is safer and works just as well, if not better, than these drugs.
