From what I have learned so far, fungal infections are a sign of possible wheat allergies. Oil of oregano is excellent at clearing up the infections but if the infection is caused by an allergy to wheat, you may still have problems losing weight. Dr. Atkins recommends removing everything that is wheat related such as low carb bread or soy for 6 weeks and begin adding a little at a time. Protein Power recommends the removal for only 2 weeks.
