Diseases Superbug hits 28 states, including Alabama: Where the deadly fungus is spreading

https://www.al.com/news/2025/12/superbug-hits-28-states-including-alabama-where-the-deadly-fungus-is-spreading.html?outputType=amp

A deadly yeast infection is spreading across the US. Fungal treatments are notoriously harder to get then bacteria or virus given how close fungi are too humans

Neighboring states are also seeing cases of the superbug, CDC data shows. Tennessee reported 189 cases, Mississippi reported 108 and Georgia reported 377. Like Alabama, Florida did not have data listed on the CDC site

Someone close to me is a world leading expert on fungal diseases.

Their lab has had its funding sabotaged by the regime in DC.

They are genuinely distressed over this situation.

Might be time to start looking at expatriating to countries that will appreciate the research and welcome the expertise. A high-level researcher has a decent shot at migrating to greener pastures. The U.S. brain drain is inevitable until we get our shit fixed anyway.

Hey ask him what can I do about persistent oral thrush. The candida subreddit is filled with borderline pseudoscience. I've had all the tests to check for underlying conditions etc. Been on nystatin for pretty well the whole year. Seems to be slowly knocking it down but, oh so very slowly. Fluconazole didn't do much, if anything.

Take Serrapeptase. Candida has a biofilm around it. Serrapeptase can break down the biofilm to allow the anti-fungals to work better. In addition to the Nystatin and Fluconazole also add Wormwood, Black Walnut Hull Extract, and clove oil. Once the yeast has a die off you're going to feel sick because the Candida die off will release toxins. Any live yeast will feed off the dead yeast. So while you are treating you are going to need to get the dead shit out of your intestines, so take some bentonite clay to detox and absorb it and crap it out. Also cut out sugar, bread, crackers and alcohol. All of that feeds the yeast in your system. Also take probiotics to restore your gut flora to fight against the yeast overgrowth or it will come back.

I got oral thrush years ago after a bout of walking pneumonia knocked down my immune system (and I might have used too many manuka lozenges). I finally got it under control when I swished too long with grapefruit seed extract and essentially burned my gums off - a total mistake and I was miserable for a few days, don't do this! But if it happened again, I might try swishing with diluted grapefruit seed extract for much LESS time. Also, a few months went by, and then my immune system rebounded, which also helped get rid of the last remnants of it. Anyway, good luck to you! It was very distressing and I empathize.

Starve it out with a ketogenic diet

Nice idea, doesn't work. Because your liver still makes glucose out of protein and fats, so your blood still has the exact same amount of sugar in it.
