(NaturalNews) It's estimated that 70 percent of the population will experience athlete's foot at one point in their lives. Athlete's foot is often treated topically, but most don't know that athlete's foot is often a symptom of a larger fungal overgrowth in the body called candida overgrowth. It's said that athlete's foot is often obtained from gym showers, but the truth is: If you had a body free of candida overgrowth in the first place, you'd likely be unaffected by any surface fungus. Most athlete's foot can be effectively treated topically with home remedies, but it's important to consider that the pesky problem is often just a sign of a larger candida problem. In doing so, you may find the answers to other health problems you're experiencing.
To treat athlete's foot at home, twice a day sprinkle a pinch of powdered acidophilus between your toes and into cotton socks that you'll be wearing. The acidophilus creates an environment that's inhospitable for the fungus, and before long your problem will be gone.
It's also important that your feet, especially between your toes, are kept dry - so dry your feet well after showering and before sprinkling the acidophilus on. If you use a towel to dry the infected areas, wash it afterward. Using a tissue to dry between your toes is also effective, but either way, wash your hands after touching your feet until the problem has been removed.
Massaging coconut oil into your feet each evening will boost your home remedy efforts. After your massage, just sprinkle on the acidophilus and wear cotton socks to bed. Again, be sure to wash your hands well after touching your feet.
Coconut oil is a powerful anti-fungal and it forms a protective barrier on the skin. As a bonus, your feet will become softer and the skin more supple too. Coconut oil can also replace other foot or body lotions on an ongoing basis for anti-fungal protection and simply to reduce the number of chemicals applied to your skin.
After the fungus has been eliminated, it's helpful to sprinkle a little aluminum-free baking soda in your shoes or socks to keep your feet dry. This is important because
athlete's foot thrives in moisture.
Following these protocols, most athlete's foot can be cleared up in a few weeks. To protect yourself from other chronic fungal infections, you might want to consider swallowing a couple teaspoons of
coconut oil each day too, in addition to regularly consuming acidophilus and Bifidobacteria based probiotics.

Kim Evans is a natural health writer and author of
Cleaning Up! The Ultimate Body Cleanse.
Cleaning Up! offers deep cleansing and using methods in this book, people have gotten rid of dozens of different types of health problems, as well as just losing excess weight, thinking more clearly, and feeling better.
Kim's next book chronicles events in her life that happen to match patterns in the Bible. She's also found three places in the Bible that tell us its about these patterns and even asking you to match them.
Here's a little from the upcoming book...
In Isaiah 22:20, it says, "And it must occur in that day that I will call my servant, namely Elia
kim." But, because these prophecies are cryptic and they aren't meant to be understood until they are understood, it's only the last three letters.
A few lines later, it says, "From the land of Kittim it has been revealed to them."
Here, you just take out any three middle letters, and again, it's the name of the person bringing you this message, or the sacred secret of the prophecy. Actually, if you take those two passages, Kim is about the only name you can get from both of them.
In Numbers 1:1 – 1:18, it's talking about "the family" and mentions Pagiel. It also twice mentions February 1st, (Kim's birthday) and then says that the youngest is 20 years old. Kim's little sister Paige is currently 20 years old.
In Chronicles 1 11:20 it mentions the brother of Joab and then in the same sentence uses the word brandishing. Kim's middle name is Jo and her older sister's name is Brandi. There are other patterns to her sisters too but these sort of mention them by name.
Of course, it helps if you know that there is a magical spiritual reality available that comes deep cleansing and often major dietary upgrades. It's also why Jesus was teaching the same thing, if you find his teachings in the Essene Gospel of Peace. In this text, he even says things like, "You'll never see the father unless you clean your colon." But, this is paraphrased...
In the Bible Jesus says things more like, happy are those who wash their robes, as they can enter the tree of life. The tree of life is elsewhere explained as God's paradise. He also said, first clean the inside of the cup and then the outside will also be clean.
