Answers:

Root causes of fugal infections are as follows:

Prolonged or frequent use of antibiotics or corticosteroids, leading to a depletion of good bacteria that normally keep fugus in check
Poor digestion and elimination, Depressed immune system, A high sugar-diet, and poor hygiene ( feet in a damp environment)

Recommendations-
1. Fungus feeds on sugar and yeast, so reduce or eliminate obvious suagr in the diet, such as refined foods, which are likely to be loaded with sugars.

2. Consume foods such as garlic, onions, chorella, spirulina, wheatgrass, and other known to support detoxification.
A green food supplement with one of those mentioned above, would be fine, too.

3.Vitamin C helps the body fight fungal infections by boosting the immune system.

4. Probiotic - 4 billion active organisms, twice daily, thirty minutes after a meal. It supplies friendly bacteria, which fight fungus and prevent its overgrowth.

5. Pau d'arco has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. Drink several cups everyday.

6.Tea tree oil, which has natural antifungal properties, is highly effective as a topical treatment. Look for creams or lotions that list tea tree oil as one of the top ingredients. You can make your own by mixing two parts tea tree oil to three parts almond oil (or another neutral oil).
