The question I was asking Dr. Bell last Saturday was about Malassezia yeast feeding on lipids. I have read in many places that this type of yeast is more likely to be the cause of skin issues vs a sugar fed yeast and if Malassezia is suspected, which it is, then fats should be avoided both topically and internally. I get that everyone is different, but I feel pretty confident that this applies to me.
- If this is true, are we talking about all fats or only unhealthy fats?
- If fats such as coconut oil are anti fungal, is this included in fats to avoid or not?
-- by the way, I have noticed that if I eat too much coconut oil I break out in fungal acne, so I guess that somewhat answers my question.
-- I read that the yeast eats it from your blood stream, so can I use this topically but not internally?
-What about using a skin oil with tea tree and other anti-fungal properties? Does that offset the fat?
All of my skin products are made from natural plant oils or tallow. If I am to avoid topical fats, what types of natural lotions I should use or avoid? Aloe is a good one, but what else?
Thank you <3 Adrienne
