 Malassezia – All Salts+Water –  and SEAWATER!

 

 

*Q1:  * does sea salt kill Malassezia *

 

          A:     No It Does NOT!

 

I used it extensively, many packets, over many months

Directly on Body or Lesions heavy concentration.

Heals lesions quickly after Yeast has ended its cycle

but it does not kill Malassezia.

 

 

Similar Packet  but Green colour

Still have some left over for other wound healing uses.

 

*Q1:  * does saltwater get rid of malassezia furfur *

 

 

A:        No It Does NOT!

 

*K:   * salt water kills Malassezia yeast *

                    *K:   * malessezia, epsom salt *

              A:     NO – Neither One Does!

 

I have used many packets of Epsom Salts

  And  mountainous quantities of:

 

  

 

Both in the Bath and in portable Foot Spa

Soaking my Feet for an hour

in as Cold or Hot water as i could stand

with Very high Concentration of Salts

Feet soaked till they were unbelievably red 

and swollen hot or  cold and wrinkled.

 

looking like  Dogs

          but 5 minutes after i had dried them

Malassezia would start tickling my toes – Not Kidding! 😦

 

Then i thought i discovered that Salt /Chlorine combination worked 

after a brief Holiday in a Resort place with a salt water pool.

Long story short, months later moved out of home

rented there for an entire year and then discovered

the very Co$tly, Unpalatable and Inconvenient Truth

that Malassezia had been temporarily retreating

in my Internal areas during my swims.

and for a couple of hours after only to resurface and continue.

 

A Body Corporate decision to Lower the Pool temperature 

and my health complications at the time 

rather the relocation realisation

that forced me to return home where i tried

to recreate the Pool environment in the Bath tab 

-as the penny had not fully dropped yet-

using Backetfuls of Sunray Pool Sea Salt

as well as 6-8 Ltrs of Fresh Seawater from the Beach                                                    

Actual Brand of Pool Salt used shown below.

I still have 2 x25 kg in our garage!

 

 

It was quite some time later and after close observation

that i eventually arrived  fully at the above realisation

of Malassezia’ s Temporary Relocation

and from then on Focused my attention strongly

in the “Internal” patterns of comings and goings of the offender .

 

Having returned home i had also started early morning walks

down the Beach and there i discovered the Beneficial Magic of

 

 

 

Fresh  Natural Seawater!….

 

 Does it KILL Malassezia?

The answer is No!

Not Unless walking in Winter Ocean Cold water 

at  16 C or  below – for a Minimum of a Half hour!

But that would be the below Yeast survival Temperature

that does it and Not the Seawater or Salt.

Seawater Heals Lesions and Deters Malassezia

from settling in an area but does not kill it

             unless perhaps is fully dipped in it for a long time.
