Any link, mutual treatment, or natural cures for gingivitis, acne, and toenail fungus?
I currently have 4 conditions plaguing me and it dawned on me whether
the 3 conditions could be interrelated in any possible way.
First I am a 27 year old male, 195 lbs, about 5 pounds overweight on
fat, but not much more, I work out a lot and have substantial muscle
mass. I have a family history of heart disease and diabetes and I do
have a fairly low sugar metabolism which I have slowly increased over
the years with cardiovascular exercise and some adkins oriented eating.
I do work in a very high stress environment, so I am very regular
about getting exercise 5-6 times/week.
Here are my conditions:
1) Gingivitis -> I need to see a dentist to get deep cleaning as my
gums are sore and puffy. Is there something I can swish in my mouth
besides Listerine to kill the bacteria that is potentially lodged in my
gums?
2) Repeated Acne -> despite the use of a benzoyl peroxide cream and a
salicylic acid wash, I repeatedly get acne in my face. Always start as
red inflammations, that with a week of benzoyl peroxide cream, will
turn into a white pus filled pore, which I often pop with a small pin
to drain the pus.
3) Fungus on my big toenail -> have tried immersing the nail in
Listerine and Hydrogen peroxide, and painting the nail with Tea Tree
Oil 2-3 times a week. Not seeing a big difference. Anything different
I should do?
4) Somewhat completely mysteriously, I noticed one day that I had a
lesion/scar on my left arm that resembled a bite, but I couldn't
remember ever having been bitten. The scar is a red circle where the
skin is almost completely destroyed. The center of the circle is fine,
but the donut circle is completely scarred, and slowly new skin has
been growing in.
I am curious - is there any possibility that any of these conditions
are linked? Many of them list the same over the counter cures: Tea
Tree, Listerine, Hydrogen Peroxide, Triclosan, etc. Are there any
other over the counter or natural/herbal remedies that can help cure
any one or more of these conditions? Please note, I don't have any
other conditions of not being well i.e. fever, weakness, fatique, I'm a
totally healthy human being, just have these 4 strange conditions, and
was curious if there were linked in any way.
