Treatment Ineffective Against Scalp Infection
Dear Ted, I saw your letters on earthclinic.com and I was impressed by some of the readers comments who reacted positively to your recommendations. I want to explain to you my situation and hopefully get an answer from you that can cure this case.
I have scalp infection, it started 3 years ago when I noticed a small inflated patch on the back of my head and I thought at that time it was just a pimple, it then started to grow and it was filled with liquid. I went to a dermatologist and he suggested to remove it and so he did. He prescribed so many shampoos and antibiotic and steroids to take and I did but then got irritated so I stopped. After that this type of patches started to grow all over my scalp and I was out of the US at that time and didn't take any medicine so it is now spread all over.
Some of those bumps are dry and some are large and filled with liquid and they ooze constantly. My scalp is dry and itchy as well with redness all over. And the hair does not grow in the affected areas. I rub some cortisone every day to get red of the redness and it works but then it comes back. I took (doxycycline hyclate) for almost 2 years and it prevented the patches from spreading, I was also taking cortisone shots straight in the scalp to deflate the bumps, but then when I stopped taking all that it is now back and all over.
Can you please tell me what should I do and in details please. I read about the acv and peroxide water solution that you suggested…. Would that work for my case? And if so how to apply it? Should I just pour some of this solution straight into my scalp? Or should I apply it with cotton soaked in this solution? Please advise.
Also, should I take some of the citric acid + baking soda + water? If so, this is a drinkable solution right? Not a topical solution? So just mix and drink? Also, do you recommend the Tea tree + Lavender? If so please let me know how. I would greatly appreciate it if you can tell me all your suggestions in the form of exact measurements and recipes and when to take and how often. I am truly suffering and I don't want this to spread more and I appreciate all your help.
Some people tolerate well with tea tree and lavender oil applied to the head in killing the fungus, but that does not address the deficiency aspect that may give a favorable environment for the fungus to grow, such as high blood sugar, for example. I use a different standard, the blood sugar cannot exceed 90 mg/dL it has to be below or your immune systems are weak and can't fight it off.
The most common deficiency is lack of B3 niacinamide and boron, which is found in borax. The niacinamide say 10% is mixed with 5% borax, in water and prepare this as a simple solution, to apply to the head at night and wash it in the morning, The magnesium hydroxide can be applied to the head to relieve the itchiness and kill the fungus, it is found as a laxative in most drug stores as Milk of magnesia, but if you can find ammonium molybdate or sodium molybdate, this will work better as most hair caused by a fungus is from molybdenum deficiency. Both the laxative milk of magnesia and sodium molybdate is applied to the scalp to relieve infections. The other problem is trying to get rid of constipation I found in some people with scalp infections, that is easily handled with eating green apples, as it contains potassium citrate (some) and easy to obtain and eat that 3 a day.
The dryness of the scalp is not common, I usually see oil scalp, but you can take hemp oil and vitamin E for the condition of dry scalp, and in the event of dry scalp there is one deficiency that stands out: threonine deficiency. The hemp oil taken only 500 mg and vitamin E taken at 200 iu is enough to get the essential oils in place,a and reduce the vegetable oil intake as they form high cholesterol that blocks the circulation. Threonine is an essential amino acid to prevent dryness, and is taken 500 mg twice a day at least. To get blood sugar to normal or at least so it doesn't swing wildly avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners, and take gymnema slyvestre.
Once the hair begins growing there will be bumps and you may feel itchiness there, but you won't feel inflammation, but if you do feel inflammation apply the Milk of magnesia and perhaps take Omega 3. It takes about 1 month to see results, but some people you can see results in 3 weeks. The fungus can be later killed with lavender and tea tree if the fungus is still there after 3 weeks of resolving the problem further.
