There is an interesting link between fungal and viral infections and cancer. Think of the Gardisil vaccine for cervical cancer.

Skin solar kerastoses look like they could be fungal infections.  Here's the theory:  Sun damages the skin cells, weakening them and making them vulnerable to invasion by pathogens like fungi and viruses.  If this is the case, then treating them like one would a fungal infection should see and improvement. I will have more about this and solar kerastoses soon.

In the case of skin tags, these are caused by a virus that has taken over the cells, using the cell's DNA for replication of itself.  As Mary-Ann discovered, to her delight, a treatment that is effective against viruses and fungi is effective against skin tags.

Are you prone to fungal infections, including smelly feet?

Having had teenageers in the house for several years, it has been interesting to note that teenage boys, in particular, are prone to having dandruff, very smelly feet and terrible body odour. Why is this? Well, some years ago, I read somewhere that this is because of the development of an acute deficiency of essential trace minerals caused by the teenager's rapid growth spurt. Rapidly growing bones suck up all that is available.

Good gardeners know that copper sulhphate (CuSO4) is a powerful and safe fungicide. Other minerals, including selenium which is known to be deficient in New Zealand soils have similar fungicidal qualities. As with plants, if the human body is depleted of trace minerals like selenium and copper, it becomes weak and vulnerable to fungal infections. So, the reasoning goes. Teenage diets tend to be bad at the best of times and the modern diet is generally stripped of essential trace minerals.

I can report that supplementing teenage diets with selenium and other trace minerals seems to have a dramatic effect on BO, smelly feet and skin fungal infections. But; I have gone a step further - I learned through a Dr who has been around for many years that many persistent, annoying and unsightly skin fungal infections can be effectively treated with anti-danfruff shampoo (it must contain selenium among its active ingredients, so read the label carefully before buying).

The results of these two angles of attack (One internally by way of nutritional supplementation and the other by external application to the skin) have been spectacular. In my opionion, this approach is much more preferable to administering powerful drugs.
