Home Remedies For Fungal Infections | Home Remedies by SpeedyRemedies
As the name suggests, Fungal Infections are infections caused by microorganisms called fungi. They are generally not considered serious unless the affected individual’s immune system is weak. Athlete’s Foot, Jock Itch, Tinea, Ringworm and Candida infections are some common yet less harmful Fungal Infections.
At times, Fungal Infections may spread to blood or internal organs of the body by penetrating deeper into the skin. Such infections are more serious in nature. Basically, Fungal Infection spreads when an individual comes in contact with fungal spores that are spread in the air.
When these fungal spores are inhaled, they cause Fungal Infections in the lungs and when they are contacted on the skin, they cause Skin Infections. They can be superficial or systematic. Superficial infections are mostly caused by dermatophytes and affect the surface of the skin.
On the other hand, systematic infections are deeper infections that can reach up to the tissues, blood or lungs. They are generally caused by fungi present in specific geographical locations. Some such infections include Blastomycosis, Cryptococcosis, Aspergillosis, Candidiasis, Histoplasmosis and other related infectious diseases. Most of the Fungal Infections are not very contagious. Though, there are some exceptions.
Conventionally, a number of medicines can be used to eliminate Fungal Infections. But excessive consumption of these medicines has been found to result in mild as well as serious side effects like anemia, kidney damage, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. To avoid such harmful side effects, holistic treatment with the help of several natural home remedies for Fungal Infections can be adopted.
Symptoms of Fungal Infections
Usually, the site of the infection determines the type of symptoms caused by it. Still, some common signs and symptoms of Fungal Infections include inflammation, irritation, itching, redness of the skin, peeling, etc. Besides, some kinds of Fungal Infections can trigger allergic reactions as well. When Fungal Infections occur on the fingernails or toenails, they are known as Onychomycosis. It results in brittleness, discoloration, rough edges and other such problems in nails.
On the other hand, Fungal Infections in the lungs may lead to symptoms like fever, coughing, headaches, muscle aches, rashes and so on. Certain infections take months or even years before manifesting the symptoms. They cause progressive symptoms like weight loss, night sweats, chest pain etc. Acute and chronic Fungal Infections can cause permanent lung, organ, and bone damage. If not treated I time, they can become fatal too.

Natural Remedies for Lung Infection
Eliminating infection and treating inflammation are the two main considerations for treating pneumonia. While bed rest and hydration are vital components of treatment, antibacterial supplements actually eliminate the infection. Common supplemental treatments include garlic, vitamin C, hydrogen peroxide and others.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide inhalation is another effective treatment for pneumonia. The process oxidizes the lungs, which functions to eliminate infection and other pathogens. The additional oxygen in the system also supports lung function.
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that includes inflammation. The condition can range from mild to life-threatening; however, natural treatments can quickly and effectively treat the condition to prevent life-altering symptoms and progression.
All in all so far Canada Health and whomever pulls their strings should be put out to pasture if things are ever going to improve. That is 3 cures for this disease that are virtually unheard of and all would eliminate hospital stays. It seems like beds would be empty if not for this one ailment. That also points to it being a manufactured crisis rather than something wild that just can't be tamed in over 100 years.
A rather sobering 'end of life' document.

Using Ozonated Oils | Puro3
These oils have a few things in common. When kept in the fridge their shelf life is more than 1 year. They turn back to oil at room temp. One thing that is still promoted against ozone is that you shouldn't breath it in and it is promoted as being very difficult and expensive to make. If your machine can make ozonated water (1 hour) then it can ozonate any of the oils listed by bubbling for 24 hours and then putting in the freezer until it gels (a few hours) and then move it to the fridge. It can be put in the fridge at the start and it will gel in about 48 hours. Why it is promoted that it takes weeks or months of bubbling before you can have creme is a mystery to me. Using the creme would have the same effect as breathing it in or drinking water
PS, the 'cure' for breathing in ozone is to be exposed to oxygen which is what ozone turns into within a few hours of being created.

Thank you Alberta unHealth. Only your corrupt institution could turn one picture into the other one takes long long before he died of a fungus cause pneumonia. 25 years to kill this kid. You guys are some ****ed up, so ****ed up that only God can straighten this fu*king mess up. Reduced to having sleep sitting up so you didn't drown from the fluid in your own lungs would suffocate you should you lay down flat. He struggled when being laid down more the MRI, he never opened his eyes or responded to anything after that.
I pray a lot of shitheads that caused this die the same painful death as Chance did, . . . and then God starts to punish them.

Burden of community-acquired pneumonia in North American adults.
To determine the burden of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) affecting adults in North America, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine the incidence, morbidity and mortality, etiology, antibiotic resistance, and economic impact of CAP in this population. In the United States, there were approximately 4.2 million ambulatory care visits for pneumonia in 2006. Pneumonia and influenza continue to be a common cause of death in the United States (ranked eighth) and Canada (ranked seventh). In 2005, there were >60,000 deaths due to pneumonia in persons aged>or=15 years in the United States alone. The hospitalization rate for all infectious diseases increased from 1525 hospitalizations per 100 000 persons in 1998 to 1667 per 100 000 persons in 2005. Admission to an intensive care unit was required in 10% to 20% of patients hospitalized with pneumonia. The mean length of stay for pneumonia was >or=5 days and the 30-day rehospitalization rate was as high as 20%. Mortality was highest for CAP patients who were hospitalized; the 30-day mortality rate was as high as 23%. All-cause mortality for CAP patients was as high as 28% within 1 year. Streptococcus pneumoniae continues to be the most frequently identified pathogen associated with CAP, and pneumococcal resistance to antimicrobials may make treatment more difficult. The economic burden associated with CAP remains substantial at >$17 billion annually in the United States. Despite the availability and widespread adherence to recommended treatment guidelines, CAP continues to present a significant burden in adults. Furthermore, given the aging population in North America, clinicians can expect to encounter an increasing number of adult patients with CAP. Given the significance of the disease burden, the potential benefit of pneumococcal vaccination in adults is substantial.

Burden of community-acquired pneumonia in North American adults.
To determine the burden of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) affecting adults in North America, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine the incidence, morbidity and mortality, etiology, antibiotic resistance, and economic impact of CAP in this population. In the United States, there were approximately 4.2 million ambulatory care visits for pneumonia in 2006. Pneumonia and influenza continue to be a common cause of death in the United States (ranked eighth) and Canada (ranked seventh). In 2005, there were >60,000 deaths due to pneumonia in persons aged>or=15 years in the United States alone. The hospitalization rate for all infectious diseases increased from 1525 hospitalizations per 100 000 persons in 1998 to 1667 per 100 000 persons in 2005. Admission to an intensive care unit was required in 10% to 20% of patients hospitalized with pneumonia. The mean length of stay for pneumonia was >or=5 days and the 30-day rehospitalization rate was as high as 20%. Mortality was highest for CAP patients who were hospitalized; the 30-day mortality rate was as high as 23%. All-cause mortality for CAP patients was as high as 28% within 1 year. Streptococcus pneumoniae continues to be the most frequently identified pathogen associated with CAP, and pneumococcal resistance to antimicrobials may make treatment more difficult. The economic burden associated with CAP remains substantial at >$17 billion annually in the United States. Despite the availability and widespread adherence to recommended treatment guidelines, CAP continues to present a significant burden in adults. Furthermore, given the aging population in North America, clinicians can expect to encounter an increasing number of adult patients with CAP. Given the significance of the disease burden, the potential benefit of pneumococcal vaccination in adults is substantial.
Did it come off the hinges by some dude who was inside too long and the gases and lack of O2 caused the outrage. That about sum up how the door came to be like that or were you reading one of my posts? Nobody wants to know. Thanks for the bump.
Well lookie here, another cure Alberta unHealth will never use as it is too safe and too effective and the patients make their own at home for a one time investment of about $30
Respiratory Support Stops Pneumonia and Bronchitis Fast
Eliminate Pneumonia & Bronchitis
It is becoming all to clear that drugs are limited in effectiveness when it comes to fighting pneumonia or bronchitis. Antibiotics are usually administered as the first line of defense. But when a virus is causing the pneumonia, antibiotics won't help you at all. To make matters worse, far too many bacteria are becoming drug resistant super bacteria that antibiotics just can't stop. So what can you do?
Fortunately, there is a safe, effective and inexpensive natural product that will help you quickly obtain relief from pneumonia and bronchitis. It doesn't matter whether pneumonia or bronchitis is caused by mycoplasma, super bacteria or viruses. This works on virtually any pathogen.
Let's start out by telling you about a remarkable product that has had great success in treating pneumonia and bronchitis, a specially processed liquid molecular silver formulation with a very small amount of hydrogen peroxide, called Respiratory Support.
Silver has been used for years to fight infections. That’s because silver particles kill virtually every type of pathogen there is. Viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, parasites, you name it. Any of the pathogens that are causing your pneumonia. Even viruses or a super-bug that has mutated so that antibiotics don’t kill it. Here’s how it works.
Microorganisms depend on a specific enzyme to breathe. Silver particles disable these enzymes and as a result the pathogens die. An ordinary antibiotic kills perhaps a half dozen different disease organisms; silver is known to disable more than 650 illness-causing microorganisms. Pathogens cannot develop a tolerance to it, making it a remarkable product for helping in the fight against pneumonia and bronchitis.
You can take silver products internally. However, the best way to knock out pneumonia or bronchitis fast is to breathe it into the lungs. That way the silver makes direct contact with the germs causing the pneumonia or bronchitis. This is what Respiratory Support is designed to do.

More salt with your silver?? Good example of why you should read the instructions first and then follow said instructions. That also means you two would end up looking like that.
F*cking liars. Cancer cell love acidic locations, killing them is as easy as increasing the ph level of a person. That is as easy as drinking water with some baking soda in it. Pretty easy to tell when the Medical community is ramping up to kill a lot more people that they have through their bogus medical practices.
pH and Cancer - Acidic pH Levels and their link to Cancer
Normalizing pH Levels Can Stop
Cancer In Its Tracks
There is plenty of research showing the link between pH and
cancer. Cancer thrives in an acidic environment, and doesn't
survive in an normal, more alkaline environment. Cancer cells
make your body even more acidic as they produce lactic acid.
So if you have cancer, your pH levels are low and your body is
too acidic.
Taking action to make your body more alkaline is vital in the
battle against cancer. Unfortunately...
The majority of the foods and drinks we consume are acidic,
such as meat, grains and sugar, with colas and other soft
drinks being highly acidic. So unless you have been eating a
very healthy diet, full of fresh fruit and vegetables, your body
is way too acidic. Creating a very good environment for
cancer to grow in.
Actually, too much acidity is an underlying factor in many
degenerative diseases -- diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia and
more. A basic maxim of natural physicians is: Balance the
Bioterrain. Do this first, then everything can come back to
normal.
Taking medicines or supplements for cancer while your pH is
highly acidic is a bit like washing dishes in a sink of dirty water, even when you put in plenty of soap, you can't get the
dishes clean.
According to Keiichi Morishita in his book, Hidden Truth of
Cancer, when your blood starts to become acidic, your body
deposits acidic substances (usually toxins) into cells to allow
the blood to remain slightly alkaline. This causes your cells to
become more acidic and toxic, which results in a decrease of
their oxygen levels, and harms their DNA and respiratory
enzymes.
Over time, he theorizes, these cells increase in acidity and
some die. These dead cells themselves turn into acids.
However, some of these acidified cells may adapt in that
environment. In other words, instead of dying - as normal cells
do in an acid environment - some cells survive by becoming
abnormal cells.
These abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant
cells do not correspond with brain function nor with our own
DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow
indefinitely and without order. This is cancer.
As you can see, he is describing, from a different point of
view, the link between pH and cancer, a process by which low
oxygen levels turn some cells cancerous. Alkaline water
(including the water in cells) holds a lot of oxygen. Acidic
water holds very little oxygen. So the more acidic your cells
are, the less oxygenated they will be. To make matters worse,
the fermentation process cancer cells use to produce energy
creates lactic acid, further increasing acidity and reducing
oxygen levels.
Sang Whang, in his book Reverse Aging, points out that
toxins are acidic. If your blood is too acidic, toxins will not be
released from your cells into the blood. So your cells can't be
detoxified. This buildup of toxins in your cells results in acidic,
poorly oxygenated cells, which can turn cancerous. He
explains,
"In general, degenerative diseases are the result of acid waste
buildups within us. When we are born, we have the highest
alkaline mineral concentration and also the highest body pH.
From that point on, the normal process of life is to gradually
acidify. That is why these degenerative diseases do not occur
when you are young. Reverse aging requires two separate
steps: chemical and physical. The first step is to lower the
acidity of the body so that it can dispose of acidic wastes in the blood and cellular fluids safely and easily. The second
step is to physically pull out old stored wastes into the blood
stream so that they can be discharged from the body."
As you learn about pH and cancer, you find there is a long
history of reversing cancer simply by alkalizing the body. It is
one of the basic strategies in the battle against cancer and for
improving your health in general.
Virtually everyone with cancer has low pH levels. This is
because cancer is created, and thrives, in a body that has low
pH levels, a body that is acidic. Low pH causes your body to
store more toxins in cells, and reduces oxygen levels, both of
which are fundamental to the development of cancer. When
cancer cells grow, they produce even more acid. Making it
very difficult to raise pH levels, especially when cancer is
present.
When you take something to increase pH levels, your cells
notice the difference and start to dump some of the toxins they
are holding back into the bloodstream now that they have a
chance to get rid of them. (Toxins are acidic and the cells
won't release them if the blood is too acidic. The blood must
be kept in a narrow range around neutral pH.)
Because the cells are releasing some of their stored toxins,
your pH levels drop again. This detoxification process can
take months to complete. In addition, because cancer cells
pump out lactic acid as a byproduct of how they produce
energy, they create even more acidity. You need to work a
long time at normalizing pH because of these factors, but as
you do, you will make your body, in a sense, cancer proof.
Now that you know about the like between pH and cancer,
you can do something about it. Because of the
fundamentalness of cancer thriving in too acidic conditions,
there are many sites and books or ebooks promoting various
ways to beat cancer by alkalizing the body with their particular
product suggestions. Coral calcium and alkaline water
machines are a couple that have been pretty popular. Also a
combination of oxygen catalyst drops and a high quality green
drink.
As pH is so fundamental to fighting cancer, we did some
energetic testing to get some idea as to which ways to
increase pH levels in your body were best for fighting cancer.
The results were pretty interesting.
Alkaline drops, where you put a couple in everything you
drink, tested at a low 35. Not very good, perhaps because
they are not that healthy a thing to be doing. Getting a
machine that makes alkaline water, and drinking the water
tested at 135. A machine that vortex's water, oxygenates it
and adds minerals to increase pH is a bit better at 195. They
are certainly fine to do, but not what you'd call really good.
The 3 teaspoons of baking soda in water every day was a
142. Taking Coral Calcium was better, a 235 for fighting
cancer. A high quality green drink marketed for alkalizing the
body came in at a 214.
OxyDHQ tests energetically, for its pH adjusting, cancer
fighting ability, at 345, virtually tied with the Oxygen Catalyst
used for adjusting pH, which comes in at 346. (OxyDHQ tests
much higher for fighting cancer, 1080, because the oxygen it
creates also does an especially good job of killing cancer
cells. Overall for fighting cancer, the Oxygen Catalyst comes
in at 200, it doesn't do as good a job at fighting cancer as at
adjusting pH levels.)
One of the best supplements we have found for fighting
cancer works in a unique way that increases pH in your body
if you have cancer. But only if you have cancer.
It instructs cancer cells to stop pumping the lactic acid they
produce (as part of the fermentation process) into the body.
And they produce a lot of lactic acid. This lactic acid, when it
is pumped out, acidifies your body. Using BLA helps to
alkalize your body as it stops the cancer cells from pumping
out the lactic acid.
By the way, if your cancer is in the lungs or stomach, and
there is a lot of it, the cancer may eliminate so much lactic
acid in a confined space that the body produces fluid to dilute
the acidic buildup. Causing ascites or fluid buildup in these
organs. BLA, Glutam, metOH and CSE help to reduce and
eventually eliminate ascites

At least somebody has some guts to tell it like it really is, obviously an off-site post.
The Big Pharma death machine | Alternative News Alert
The drug epidemic plaguing the United States seems to only get worse as time trudges on. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced recently that drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for American adults under the age of 50.
At the helm of this devastating surge in drug-related deaths are, of course, opioids. Opioids are a class of drugs that includes heroin, fentanyl and many legal prescription painkillers such as oxycodone and hydrocodone. According to the CDC, oxycodone, hydrocodone and methadone are the most common prescription drugs used in overdose deaths. The agency reports that at least 1 out of every 4 people prescribed an opioid is estimated to struggle with addiction, and that emergency rooms are treating over 1,000 people who have misused an opioid every day.
During his announcement, Rosenstein stated that fentanyl — a synthetic opioid — is becoming increasingly problematic, in large part due to its extreme potency. “Fentanyl is especially dangerous. It is 40 to 50 times more deadly than heroin. Just two milligrams, a few grains of salt, an amount you could fit on the tip of your finger, can be lethal. Fentanyl exposure can injure or kill innocent law enforcement officers and first responders. Inhaling a few airborne particles can have dramatic effects,” he explained.
NPR reports that approximately 75 percent of people who died from an accidental overdose in 2016 had fentanyl in their systems. One of the biggest threats posed by fentanyl is that other drugs are often cut with it, meaning that users may not be aware of the potential danger.
