Living in Puna, residents have to deal with health conditions triggered by the environment. Vog of course is huge example but another issue for some is fungus among us. Haole rot, itchy scalp, jock itch, heat rash, yeast infections and foot fungus are just a few of the many we have to deal with because of our high humidity here in paradise.
I started this thread to see what methods people use to deal with these types of problems. Here are a few that I've used and heard of people using. Tea tree oil, coconut oil, vinegar showers, colloidal silver, dandruff shampoo containing selenium sulfide applied to the skin, gentian violet, prescription creams with Nystatin, Miconazole nitrate and others. I've also tried to alkalinize my body via diet. I found this to be very difficult to do. Drinking the alkaline water is fairly simple but eating only foods that are alkaline forming in the body is a crazy hard task. Has anyone accomplished this and freed themselves of skin fungus? Any other methods shared are appreciated. Thank you.
