How I Healed My Systemic Fungal Infection in Just Four Weeks (Without Harsh Medications)

For years, I followed a stringent, ancestral nutrition approach—one that kept my immune system resilient, my digestion strong, my energy steady, and my autoimmune condition at bay. But after giving birth to my daughter and navigating the immense demands of postpartum and extended breastfeeding, my body was stretched thin. I was depleted in ways I hadn’t fully realized. And though I felt mostly well, I wasn’t as resilient as I had been before.

Then, in early September, everything spiraled.

The Onset: A Storm of Symptoms That Didn’t Make Sense

Early September:

• Random bouts of diarrhea—quick, excessive, and then gone. No other symptoms. I brushed it off as an isolated event or a mild stomach virus.

• Days later:

  • A fever set in, reaching as high as 103°F.

  • Splitting headaches made it hard to function.

  • Digestive discomfort set in (but I still wasn’t able to connect the dots).

• Mid-September:

  • Mouth ulcers and a painful canker sore developed on my tongue.

  • A red, bumpy rash spread across my chest, stomach, back, and arms.

  • My stomach felt increasingly tender, with pain worsening when pressed.

  • I had electrical pin tingling sensations all over my body.

  • The fever persisted (13 days total).

• End of September:

  • My entire digestive system felt inflamed and in acute pain.

  • Smell aversion and nausea made eating difficult.

  • My hands were peeling uncontrollably (a key fungal sign).

  • Waves of fatigue hit, leaving me feeling depleted and under attack.

  • I still didn’t have answers, but my body was clearly sending distress signals that couldn’t be ignored.

Digging Deeper: The Testing That Led to My Answer

I knew I had to figure this out before it spiraled further. My immune system was already vulnerable from two years of breastfeeding, postpartum depletion, and being in a state of near-constant output. It was clear that my body was struggling to recover from whatever this was.

So, I turned to testing—something I deeply believe in for my clients, and now, I needed it for myself. I ran:

🔎 Bioenergetic scan – to assess underlying infections, pathogens, and stressors in my body
💩 Stool test – to analyze gut microbiome balance and check for pathogenic overgrowth
🩸 Micronutrient panel – to assess any key deficiencies contributing to immune dysregulation
🧪 Advanced baseline panels – to look at inflammatory markers, immune response, and metabolic health

The results were clear and undeniable: I had a systemic fungal infection.

My blood labs and stool test indicated a severe infection, a stressed liver, and colonic and systemic inflammation, But it was the bioenergetic scan that pinpointed the fungal infection. I also discovered that gluten had become a major inflammatory trigger for me. After avoiding it for 10 years, I reintroduced it during pregnancy out of necessity—because at the time, bread was all I could stomach. Initially, I thought I tolerated it fine. But my labs showed that my immune system had quietly been mounting a severe response in the background, and my inflammation was out of control.

The Turning Point: A Simple but Powerful Treatment Plan

Once I had clarity on the root cause, I knew my next steps. I needed to support my immune system, clear the fungal infection, and bring my body back into balance.

The bioenergetic scan gave me the exact herbal protocol suited to my body’s needs, and the results were spot on. My treatment plan included:

🌿 Scutellaria & Chrysanthemum – powerful antifungal herbs to directly target the infection
💧 Homeopathic liver support – to keep detox pathways open and help my body eliminate fungal waste (my liver was struggling)
🛡️ Takesumi (a binder) – to trap and remove toxins as the fungi died off

Healing in Just Four Weeks

The shift was almost immediate. Within days of starting treatment, my symptoms lost intensity. And by the end of four weeks, my symptoms were completely gone.

✅ The red, dry patches on my face disappeared.
✅ The rash on my body cleared.
✅ My palms stopped itching and peeling.
✅ My headaches and fevers vanished.
✅ My clarity returned, and my energy stabilized.

My body had fully healed.

Lessons Learned: Why Testing (and Listening to Your Body) Matters

This experience reinforced something I already knew:

➡️ Symptoms are signals, not random events.
➡️ The body is always working to restore balance—our job is to remove the obstacles.
➡️ Functional labs and bioenergetic scans are invaluable tools for uncovering hidden infections and imbalances.

Had I ignored these symptoms, I could have spent months chasing surface-level treatments, suppressing fevers, trying elimination diets, and searching for answers in the wrong places. Instead, I was able to identify the root cause, target the infection, and fully heal in a matter of weeks.

If You Suspect a Hidden Infection…

If you’ve been struggling with unexplained symptoms—chronic fatigue, digestive issues, skin rashes, neurological sensations, or cyclical fevers—don’t settle for surface-level answers.

I offer functional labs and bioenergetic scans as part of my practice, and I’ve seen it uncover infections, toxic burdens, and imbalances that other tests miss. If financial resources are scarce, I recommend the bioenergetic testing with baseline panels (hands-down). This combo is affordable and effective.

Your body is always working for you. The key is learning how to listen.
