Can Medical Marijuana Be Used to Treat Chronic Valley Fever Infection?

If you look online, there are many reports of people that suffer from Valley Fever. This is because it has the unusual quality of both being a fungus that infects people with a significant impact in many individuals, and also it is commonly present in the air outside. Many people may be aware of how bacterial and even viral infections can be managed with natural antibiotics and iodine in foods; however, fungal infections in the sinuses are one of the hardest to manage. In fact, there is evidence that fungal infections in the sinuses specifically are so difficult to manage that the only way to completely cure them can be to take away their source. The fact that the source cannot be taken away in the case of Valley Fever would explain why it is so difficult for many people to cure.

With a very high number of the prison population being infected, it makes sense because it would be difficult to find something to cure your ailment in the sinuses for fungus. Eating or ingesting orally is hardly enough to cure Valley Fever. It may help, but there is evidence that it only helps the most to inhale something that is antifungal.

There have been reports that some people who normally experience Valley Fever after heavy rains in the location where they live have actually not suffered from it while being prescribed medical marijuana for a completely different ailment. Upon being forced to stop smoking marijuana, there have been reports that they suffered greatly from Valley Fever once again.

I find it interesting to note that in every state except for Texas across the American Southwest Marijuana has been legalized in some form, either for medical use or recreational use. This also corresponds to the same area where Valley Fever is very common for the population to experience. I have to wonder if it is possible that marijuana could be used to treat Valley Fever, and also if the population there has already found this benefit in marijuana, partially leading to its legalization in the first place.

Valley fever can be so severe that people can be paralyzed from it. It can be fatal. It starts like the flu, but is very aggressive. The only other antifungal agent that can be inhaled would be the clove oil drenched cigar. However, because this method relies on the clove oil to be antifungal, while tobacco is not, it is more than likely going to be less effective than marijuana, which is in itself antifungal. The fact that there are people who are restricted access to marijuana, when facing a catastrophic illness such as Valley Fever, when it could be used to treat it successfully, is a gross negligence of the care of those people. Of course, it probably happens all the time. This illness, though not very well known, and there could even be similar ones in other countries and locations. Who knows, maybe this is even the real source of dengue fever, and it has nothing to do with mosquitoes... You will notice that they report that the dengue fever is caused by viruses that are somehow not contagious to other people. While viruses normally are in fact contagious, it is fungal infections of the sinuses that often present in this way where they are not contagious to other people, because they are caused by a certain source where the fungus is being produced. It is often the case where these fungal infections are misdiagnosed and treated as bacterial and viral infections to no avail, as well, because of their striking similarity in symptoms. Whatever the case may be, the fact that marijuana is restricted to individuals who could treat this but are unable for whatever reason is a gross negligence of the care of those people on the part of everyone involved.

*** Multivitamins can actually do well in helping to prevent valley fever, in further study. Marijuana could possibly aid it...
