1 See disclaimer at the bottom of this report The Fungus Is Among Us Protocol for Eliminating Dandruff for Ever You are about to hear it straight so keep an open mind. If there s one thing I never want you to forget it s that dandruff is a fungus. I m not talking about a little flaking once a month or some allergic reaction causing the flaking. I m talking about the itchy, flaky, aggravating dandruff that 48 million Americans suffer with. This infection caused by molds and yeasts are apart of the fungus family. Knowing this to be true doesn t it make sense that if you kill the infection the body will heal the tissue? More severe cases of a fungal infection would be represented by ringworm, psoriasis and eczema and a most severe form of a fungal infection is cancer. That s right you just read that cancer is a fungus. Let me give you a quick explanation and remember to keep an open mind as this will all connect as you read on. If you were asked what color is cancer? How would you answer? Most people say black. It does show up on an x-ray as a black spot. But actually cancer is white. When you wash away the epitheliales, mucus, and blood from a cancer tumor you will see white fungal colonies infecting the tissue. The last stage before total take over of the tissue by the fungal colonies is a bright red appearance in the tissue. Once the take over is complete you begin to see cell abnormalities. These abnormal cells will multiply over time forming a tumor. Every cancer forms a tumor except leukemia. Cancer spreads easily when the fungal infection gets into the blood stream. During surgery if the cancer tumor is ruptured and any of it gets into the blood stream it can be carried off and deposited anywhere in the body

2 where there is blood flow. Hence the rapid spread of cancer in the body. The rate at which the cancer grows is determined by the immune systems ability to fight the fungal and microbial infection. What if you could kill the infection? Isn t that what chemo-therapy is supposed to do? We are told that the chemo kills the cancerous cells more easily than healthy cells. So you should be able to live through the chemo-treatments. It is not necessary to kill the cancer cells. It is necessary however to kill the infection inside the cell/tissue. When the infection has been killed off the cells will differentiate back to normal cells and tissue. Ever hear of cancer tumors that shrink and go into remission? What does all of this have to do with dandruff? If you have dandruff and you have ruled out exposure to some chemical irritant or allergy You Have a Fungal Infection. There are different names for the yeasts and fungus but plain and simple it s a fungal infection. Contributing factors for getting the infection: How strong is your immune system. How well is the digestive systems functioning. Over all health. Using anti-biotic s. Poor diet i.e. fried foods, cooking oils, processed foods, chemical sweeteners, carbonated drinks, excess sweets. Smoking, alcohol, prescription and non prescription drug use. Anything that weakens the body and the immune system. Being around infected people and sharing combs, brushes, hats, toboggans, sun glasses, head phones, telephone, scarf, ear muffs, etc. Fluoride consumption, tap water, food additives, etc. Anything that weakens the immune system will leave the body vulnerable to attack. In cases of psoriasis and eczema there is a serious yeast infection in the digestive system weakening the immune defenses. But when we are talking about dandruff we can use a protocol directly on the infected area to rid the scalp tissue of the infection.

3 Protocol for eliminating dandruff for ever. You will want to start thinking about how not to get re-infected once the dandruff is gone. Tips: Sterilize all brushes, combs, and hair accessories. Sanitize pillows, hats and caps. Do Not share combs or brushes or hats of any kind. Keep hair washed regularly. Avoid chemicals on the scalp that may damage or weaken the scalp tissue. Pick up the habit of having a healthy lifestyle. Steps to the protocol include two important items; Sodium Bicarbonate & Iodine Tincture 2%. The good news is that you probably already have the sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and Iodine Tincture 2% can be purchased anywhere for $2 - $6 and you will have to ask for it because it s usually not just sitting on the shelf. It usually comes in 1-2 oz bottles. Found at stores like Walgreens, Rite Aide, Kroger pharmacy, Walmart pharmacy, etc. Most likely you will not come close to using a whole bottle. Because the fungus is anti-aerobic (lacking oxygen) it is more acidic than it is alkaline so using the baking soda will rapidly change the ph level making the surface of the scalp alkaline. The fungal infection can not live in this highly alkaline condition there by killing it. (The fungus / yeast / mold, i.e. Candida Albicans will NEVER EVER become immune to the baking soda) Daily, wash and rinse hair. Then apply a soupy mix of baking soda and water to the hair and scalp. The consistency should be like gravy. The ideal is to get the soupy mix to completely saturate the hair and scalp. Work it through the hair and scalp like you would with shampoo. After 2-5 minutes (or longer) rinse it out only, no soap.

4 Before bed time wash & rinse hair and this time apply the soupy mix to the hair and scalp and don t be shy, pile it on for good coverage. Sleep with a towel or shower cap on your head to hold the baking soda in place and to cut down the mess, then wash/rinse hair the next morning and style as usual. At this point it is recommended to stop using shampoos for dandruff treatment and monitor the results of this protocol. Inspect your scalp or have someone else inspect it and point out the areas that are still infected, i.e. itchy spots and spots of rough scalp or patches of flaking or red, or reddish white areas. Since you wouldn t want to go out during the day with baking soda piled onto your head use the iodine tincture 2% on spots on the scalp that don t want to stop itching or that don t return to normal after the baking soda treatments. Such as a reddish/white thick flaky patch of scalp. This represents a deeper infection into the scalp tissue. Once the infection has been killed the scalp tissue will go back to normal. The time frame is typically 3 weeks or less. NOTE: Iodine Tincture is poisonous. Follow its warning label. Do NOT just pour it onto your head. Only use it on the spots that are hard to kill. Example would be a spot where a deeper infection has set in like the Ringworm fungus. Typically you should not use Iodine Tincture 2% for more than 7-10 consecutive days in a row without taking a break from using it. (Read the warning label.) Use the Iodine Tincture 2% when the baking soda is not appropriate like when you go to work, and it is also recommended that you spot treat with baking soda as well. When you spot treat with the baking soda try to leave it in until the next wash and you can reapply the spot treatments with baking soda as often as you need to. An eye dropper works great for that. Make the paste and fill the eye dropper and you will be able to hit little spots on the scalp easier with less mess. Keep this routine up until the dandruff is completely gone. Usually 3 weeks or less. (This is the key, don t quit until all symptoms are gone.)

5 If you are ever re-infected start the protocol over again immediately. Then you can live life with a healthy dandruff free scalp. If you have psoriasis or eczema on your scalp you will need to rebalance the good and bad bacteria in the intestines while using this protocol. It has been recommended to start with high quality probiotic s and enzyme supplements. (Found at health food stores) You can consume a little colloidal silver everyday to help get the amount of yeast, fungus and microbes that are over working your immune system under control. That s it. Results depend on you. Best Wishes. These statements and opinions have not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
