This is amazing and you made it easy to understand for someone with no medical knowledge.
So, can anyone explain why doctors won't treat it until it s basically incurable? Why the "guidelines" say that you need to have organ damage before getting antifungals, even if if other tests indicate the presence of fungus? Also, does anyone mention that a lot of times the tests are not reliable, because the lab keeps the culture for too short a time? Do these doctors actually enjoy ruining lives? or is it because if you act fast Aspergillosis is curable, but then you will sell medications only for 12 months tops, while if you let it become untreatable you will sell antifungals for 10-15-20 years? It s really shocking and disgusting.
Absolutely agree, couldn’t have said it better! Yes, it’s ALL about the money. Let the patient continue to suffer! 🤬
I hate and do NOT and never will trust mainstream Dr’s again!!
I have been through the ringer and I have had 2 Chest CT’s over the past 2 years. A couple small benign nodules in my my fist CT April 2022. Had my second one April 2023. More benign nodules, some airway thickening, lots of inflammation. Oh, but no cancer, nothing bad. Just have a repeat CT in 3-6 months…
And what am I supposed to do in the meantime with this chronic, constant cough which brings up mucus constantly?! I go through 2-3 boxes of tissues a week blowing my nose, have to have a garbage can near me at all times to spit out all the junk I cough up! It’s ridiculous!
Who cares if we suffer, just another number. 🤬
Look into methylene blue.
Doctors just follow protocol. They are robot slaves for big pharma.
Thanks a lot for this interesing and important video. Aspergillosis is very clear explained, and the spoken word is combined with clear pictures. I am gonna look more videos in the future, because I am very interested in all aspects of Fungi, and also Bacteria.
one of the best explanations I have ever heard! Thanks
Excellent lecture!
I had aspergillosis and it was the result of inhaling spores when I opened bags of potting mix and also the mould in the bathroom. I had asthma and my lungs were weak from overuse of antibiotics for lung infections. I found the cure by taking a capsule that gets rid of thrush in the vagina. I had aspergillosis in my lungs and was given steroids which did not good at all. After I took the capsule, I coughed up a large amount of bright green phlegm and have nothing ever since.
What capsule was this
What was the medication you took?
@@bernardkesse6255 The medication I took was a one time capsule that women usually take for thrush which you may or may not know is a fungal infection of the vagina but you can also get thrush in the mouth. It doesn't matter what the name of the medication is as long as you tell the pharmacist that you want the one time capsule for vaginal thrush. It doesn't matter that it's for women because it's a general medication for thrush. I hope this helps you. It's a bugger to get rid of with normal medications. I had it for a long time until I hit on this accidentally.
Good luck.
Great explanation! Thanks for the clear, concise summary that tied the numerous aspects of this infection together. Can I take your class?
fabulous
Best explanation and very in depth. I'm pretty sure I had this last year. Was treated with many antibiotics and nothing worked, until the doc put me on antivirals.! ! ( he did no test though. ( I am immune suppressant)
Fabulous ....
This is the beginning of Season 4 !!!!
I'm 12 and my mother has this infection, and I'm trying to fix it
I am trying itraconazole.
Which one can cause a bunch of symptoms
Please help me Dr. I truely have a problem but getting through to these drs. in NC is like pulling teeth. Where is your office would love to visit you. I can get a referral. My stomach hurts I've loss 50 pounds and I'm not trying.
I’m confused on why immunosuppressants are used when it takes a fully working and intact immune system to fight off this infection to cure the disease… Obviously this would apply more to people who aren’t already immunocompromised.
Anti fungals aren’t much use and do little to treat. There should be more advancements made to figure this out. What about natural treatments instead of these “toxic” anti fungal medications?
A very through explanation yet as a non medical person trying to learn just what this is I found some of the explanations a bit tough to understand. As an older instructor once told me"explain everything as if your talking to a 5th grader" Not everyone knows all the medical jargon.
🤔
poor solution medically...treat the symton not the cause..
SSKI (Saturated solution of potassium iodide) used for 100's of years to treat fungal/yeast/mycoplasmas. With great success rates. Do some research, find a trusted source, take with selenium to avoid unwanted side effects. Do not take within hour or so of vitamin C. Take separately. C cancels out the functions of iodine.
Exactly! Always the way with them. Just keep slapping a bandaid on it… 😒😡
@@leannshort2211 It's ubiquitous and opportunistic... it's only an issue over the course of particular diseases and treatments so you can't "FIX IT." Not that you're capable of understanding that.
@@papajohn255 Why the hell would you assume that I’m “not capable of understanding that”? 😒
