Vinegar and Fungal Infections

I have been reading some web pages where people are saying that undiluted vinegar (any type) helps to clear fungal infections around the groin.

I  think that vinegar would burn and not be recommended.

What do you think

    It depends how it is used.  Sometimes a diluted non-pasteurised apple cider vinegar can help to avoid blatter infection for instance.

      Hanny32508,

      May I ask, how sure are you that vinegar will help with U.T.I. I see many such claims for vinegar, but so far no compelling reason to try. As you may know, the standard treatment is 3 days of 'flavour of the month' antibiotic. It may or may not work depending on the strain and susceptibility of the infecting organism to the antiinfective agent. A bit hit & miss, but as taking a urine sample and then waiting for the results of the culture is costly and time consuming, So we put up with the best we have at the moment. The hard proof is there should anyone doubt the efficacy of this standard medical routine, it is not perfect but works for most. What kind of reassurance can you offer for using vinegar instead??

      Please reply, silence would suggest you have nothing to to offer by way of explaination.

      I have some other health issues in the same area that require a different 'environment', that is pH balance.  It affects the urinal tract.  As soon as I feel the urinal tract is affected I do the opposite - which is the vinegar treatment.  Cause the urinal tract wants a different pH level.  ?I have had to endure too many anti biotic treatments and that is not beneficial for the other issues. 

      As someone said - We live in a toxic soup.  And the anti biotic adds to that.  It is not always easy to sail in between the cliffs. For me the vinegar treatment works this far and anti biotic treatment then can be avoided.  As long as I catch it in time. 

      ?Of what I read from your hand is that life has made you doubtful about healthy alternatives, and I wonder why.
