Maybe we can finally begin to take a closer look at naturopathic remedies. The key to killing fungus in humans is to a) deny their fuel source through diet and b) strengthen the human system by proper carb/fat/protein ratio, essential oils, and healthy fats (omega 3/6/9, medium-chain saturated fats, etc).

There are also drugs like Lufenuron [1] which is a chitin synthase inhibitor (fungi make their cell walls from chitin, while mammals don't synthesize chitin at all). 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufenuron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufenuron
- pjlegato 10y agoTo the extent that naturopathic remedies actually work, that fact is easily demonstrable through the scientific method, and they become known as just "remedies" rather than "naturopathic remedies."
