Fungal infection of the esophagus.

Hello Claudiac,

So I found out that a friend of mine has esophageal fungus. Will he recover or will he have any aftereffects? Weird, I’ve never heard of anything like that before. ;D

Could we also treat it with alternative medicine, and what and how?

Answer me, many and many.

Sincerely

Hello Ladysally,

So yes, we can have fungi in our body. This is then "Candida albicans". Candida albicans is a yeast-like microorganism that naturally develops in the mouth, the intestine, the genital tract, and on the skin.
So in the esophagus, it's quite possible.

I'll take the part that interests you most: doctors rarely treat intestinal candidiasis.

Overgrowth of Candida albicans in the gut is a diagnosis frequently made by practitioners, who seek to eliminate the infection (i.e., the fungi) through dietary regimens, herbs, and nutritional supplements.

The immune system in general must be strengthened.

We can use:

1) naturopathy to treat this infection with the following diet:

• eliminate all forms of yeast
• all foods containing yeast or mold
• Starch and refined sugar.

Many naturopaths also recommend taking “active” yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus or acidophilus powder.

2. Phytotherapy. The following plants (in drops, herbal tea) can be prescribed: berberine and mahonia prevent the overgrowth of yeast and stimulate the immune system. Pau d’arco, a South American tree, contains lapachol, which has an anti-Candida effect.

3. the Ayurvedic doctor
   Candidiasis is caused by ama (toxins) associated with poor digestion. The practitioner will seek to stimulate it and strengthen natural defenses with plants. Panchakarma, a detoxification process, is sometimes recommended.

4. Nutritional therapies

Natural antifungals are: garlic, aloe, and caprylic acid. Vitamins B, C, and E. Zinc, selenium, magnesium, and folic acid.

So Ladysally, you can... treat fungal infections with alternative medicine. You just need to find what works best. Starting with vitamins is always a good idea.

Did I answer your question?
