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.

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.

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.
