Fungal infection

[mil1209]

First of all, I am a male, in his mid-40s, who is relatively healthy except for a positive diagnosis of Hepatitis B (but that is not what this post is about). I have been dealing with what I believe is a fungal infection since beginning of August. I had a sexual encounter a week before that. It was with a woman I did not know very well. We had sexual intercourse with a condom, and there was no oral sex. I asked her to penetrate anally, to try something new, and she did that, while wearing some kind of latex glove. We were in her bathroom which was wet from a shower.

Anyway, about a week later, I experienced a redness and itching at my penis head and anus, which also affected my left leg and foot. The left leg and foot also itched, burned, and tingled, although there were no outward signs of any lesions. I immediately went to the doctor and had a full STD panel of tests done - Chlamydia, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Trichomoniasis - all came back negative.

The pain in my left foot got so bad I could barely walk or stand. I bought Clotrimazole cream from the pharmacy and applied on my penis and anus, and suddenly the left foot no longer tingled or had pain. I followed the directions for a few weeks applying the cream twice a day morning and night. I also used Apple Cider Vinegar as an anti-fungal wash. By the time October came, I was symptom-free in my foot and my groin, so I put it all down to a fungal infection of some kind.

October was great, I was back to normal. Then November came, and the leg/foot pain came back with a vengeance. I had slacked off on using the Clotrimazole because of the lack of symptoms, although I was still wiping my skin with the Apple Cider Vinegar.

Now it is Nov 23, and I have been plagued with left leg and foot pain. It is not as bad as before when I could barely stand, but it is still there, and the fact that the pain is still there means I still have a fungal infection.

Recently, my doctor said I have a candida infection, and gave me Diflucan (flucanozole) to take for 10 days. I just finished it and there was no apparent effect. Now, I'm not so sure it is a fungal infection. Urine and blood analyses done back in August showed no bacteria in the blood or urine. Could it still be a bacterial infection?

I am still going through various anti-fungal topicals - Clotrimazole, Miconzole, Tonaflate, etc. and they work to some extent, but the pain doesn't completely go away like it did before. I even started taking Caprylic acid supplements.

Any ideas on what else this could be besides a fungal infection? If it is a fungal infection, what other treatments are there? Enemas? Nystatin?

Thank you.

Wow. that is awful. I haven't seen anything on the ingredients of zeolite only that it is used in a variety of things. I would still get another test to double check. But that is up to you if you trust the results. If they are correct then you do need to clear this from your system.

I talked to the toxicologist this morning. He said the lab analyzed the zeolite too. He said the zeolite is a very dangerous substance and I am to stay far from it. They found Thorium, Cesium, Lead, Barium, Stronium, etc. More than likely the zeolite is the culprit.

The toxicologist said for me to take NAC (A-Acetyle Cisteine) for 2 months, 600 mg tapsules 2X a day to remove the metals. He would like for me to get tested again in a month for metals levels. He said that should take care of the metals and I should make a recovery. He is however, not a medical doctor but a forensic toxicologist.

I have an appt with a toxin specialist on Friday who is a medical doctor. Hopefully, she will devise the right treatment.

My primary care doctor said this morning that the fungal infections are persistent due to the presence of contaminents in my system.

I have read that too regarding chemo . But since you haven't had chemo it doesn't fit. I wonder if the lab results are correct. It sounds like you live near a toxic dump that was there in the past or something? I wonder what the doctor will say?  Personally, I would repeat the test at another lab. Just to be sure.

They also detected arsenic in my blood.

I have done some research and found chemo drugs for cancer have platinum in them. But I sure as heck never took those, at least to my knowledge.

Sorry I am wrong about nuclear reactor I was thinking plutonium not platinum. Disregard the last statement.
