3 201620 Second Fungus Test
Introduction
This test will show you how to detect a fungal infection, to
determine which specific fungus or fungi are present, and
to help guide treatment. Use this test if you suspect that
you have a skin or systemic fungal infection and after you
successfully complete the Fungus Destroyer Protocol.
WHAT IS BEING TESTED?
Fungal infections represent the invasion of tissues by one or
more species of fungi and range from superficial skin infections
to serious deep tissue, blood, lung or systemic diseases.
This test will detect the presence of superficial fungal infections
that may cause nail infections or itchy red scaly skin infections
such as those commonly known as athlete’s foot, jock itch,
and ringworm, or yeast infections that cause white patches in
the mouth (thrush) or vaginal itching and discharge.
Fungal tests are used to detect and identify fungi in order
to diagnose infections and help to guide treatment. In more
than 78% of cases, the Fungal Destroyer Protocol destroys the
fungal infection on the first pass. However, in cases of persistent
infections when a more definitive diagnosis is needed, it may
be necessary to go through the protocol more than once. Be
sure to perform this test after every time through.
HOW IS THE SAMPLE COLLECTED FOR TESTING?
The collected sample depends upon the suspected location(s)
of the infection. For superficial infections, the sample may
4 201620 Second Fungus Test
include clipped or shaved nail or hair, scrapings of the skin,
vaginal secretions collected with a swab.
Fungal cultures are used to identify the specific fungi present.
Many fungi are slow-growing, so this test takes 5 days for
you to be sure of the results.
Additional methods may be performed to promote fungi
growth in culture in order to more quickly detect a fungus
directly in the sample collected.
WHEN SHOULD I TAKE THE TEST?
A test should always be taken after you complete the
Fungus Destroyer Protocol. Also, take the test if you suspect
you are suffering from a superficial fungus infection. The
test will help you to determine treatment options when you
are experiencing symptoms involving skin, nails, or mucous
membranes appear, for example:
f Itchy, red, scaly areas of skin
f Nails that are thickened, brittle, and/or deformed
f White patches in the mouth (thrush)
f Vaginal itching and discharge (yeast infection)
WHAT DOES THE TEST RESULT MEAN?
Interpretation of fungal tests and examinations the affected
area do not require experience in the study of fungi. The
test has been designed so that your results can be carefully
considered by you, along with signs and symptoms along
with taking into consideration factors such as your medical
history and travel history.

Types of Infections to Test
When it comes to superficial fungal infections, you might
not be sure your problem is fungal. This test is a great
way to diagnose the cause of your symptoms combined
with a common sense physical examination. In addition to
general symptoms, many skin infections have characteristic
signs (such as the appearance of infected nails) and typical
locations on the body (such as athlete’s foot between
the toes). This home evaluation will definitively tell you if
a fungal microorganism is causing your infection. If you
have a microscope on hand, it might be useful to do a
microscopic examination of the culture sample when the 5
days are up, just to be sure. By detecting and confirming
a fungal infection early on, you can save yourself some
discomfort and misery.
Some examples of superficial infections include:
f Yeast infections caused by Candida species
f Athlete’s foot
f Jock itch
f Scalp or hair infection
f Finger or toenail infection
f Ringworm
6 201620 Second Fungus Test
In general, a negative test result means that there is no
fungal infection present and any further symptoms are likely
due to another cause. A negative test after a person has
been treated for a fungal infection means that the therapy
has been successful.
Positive results generally indicate that a fungus is still present.
A positive antigen test means that it is likely that the fungus
tested is the cause of the person’s infection.
An inconclusive test results when you see positive antibody
on both Q-tips samples. This is the result of the control
sample having exposure to a specific fungus, but it does not
indicate whether the exposure was recent or in the past. On
the other hand, the fungus could have come from anywhere.

20 Second Fungus Test
To perform this test, you will need the following items:
f A box of Q-tips
f A bottle of rubbing alcohol
f A roll of paper towels
f 2 small drinking glasses
f A box large enough to hold both drinking glasses
20 Second Fungus Test
To perform 20 Second Fungus Test, perform the following steps: Be sure to perform this test within 2 days of
completing the Fungus Destroyer Protocol
1. Take a Q-tip and rub it against the area that you suspect is
displaying the outward signs of a fungal infection or the area
where the fungal infection was before it was cured by the
Fungus Destroyer Protocol. NOTE: Be sure to rub the Q-tip
for at least 10 seconds.
2. Take another Q-tip and dip it in rubbing alcohol.
3. Place 2 paper towels directly in the sun. Label them with the
words: “Fungus Test Sample” and “Alcohol Control Sample.”
4. Place both Q-tips on the paper towels making sure to place
each one with its corresponding label.
8 201620 Second Fungus Test
5. Take both drinking glasses and rinse them with water so they
have a wet residue.
6. Place a wet glass upside down over each of the Q-tips, being
sure to place the end that was either rubbed on the infected
area or dipped in alcohol is at the center of the glass.
7. Cover the glasses with the cardboard box.
8. Wait 5 days and remove the cardboard box.
9. Inspect the Q-tips.
RESULTS
f If both Q-tips are completely white, the fungal infection
has been cured by the Fungus Destroyer Protocol and
no further treatment is needed.
f If there is discoloration on both Q-tips, then the test is
inconclusive. You can either perform 20 Second Fungus Test again or simply do another round of the Fungus
Destroyer Protocol.
f If the Fungus Test Sample Q-tip has any discoloration
and the control sample does not, then the fungal
infection has persisted and you will have to perform
another round of the Fungus Destroyer Protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?
If a fungus is causing an infection is not present in sufficient
amount in a sample, a test might fail to detect and identify
the fungus may be falsely negative.
For fungus testing on some infected individuals with
weakened immune systems, their infection might not be as
intense as it has to be in a person with a healthy immune
system. Therefore, early tests taken in these individuals often
produce false negative results.
Fungal infections must frequently be distinguished from
infections caused by other microorganisms, such as bacteria.
In many severe fungal infection cases, an infection may have
both bacteria and fungi present.
The problem is that fungi thrive in moist environments,
such as inside sweaty shoes, constrictive clothing, at public
swimming pool and gym lockers, and in skin folds. You can
minimize fungal skin infections by wearing flip-flops or sandals
to limit direct exposure, by drying out shoes, changing socks
frequently, and keeping moist areas of the body clean and dry.
10 201620 Second Fungus Test
IF I HAVE A PERSISTENT FUNGAL INFECTION, WOULD IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHERE I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AND WHAT ACTIVITIES I HAVE BEEN DOING?
Some fungi are found in distinct geographical regions, such
in the southwestern U.S. or midwestern U.S. If you have been
traveling around excavation or spelunking in caves, you may
have been exposed to fungal spores. This can be true, even if
travel was not recent. Lung infections caused by some fungi
may emerge months to even years after exposure.
Additionally, if you go to the gym at the same time every
week, you may be getting repeated exposure to a particular
fungus because the person who routinely sits and sweats
where you do has a fungal infection and they are not doing
anything about it. Try mixing up your routine a little bit and
see if that helps
IF MY DOCTOR THINKS I HAVE A FUNGAL INFECTION, WHY IS HE TESTING ME FOR TUBERCULOSIS?
Many of the signs and symptoms associated with fungal
lung infections could also be due to a tuberculosis infection.
Generally, a doctor would order tuberculosis testing (such as an AFB smear and culture) to rule out a mycobacterial
infection as the cause of your symptoms. The organisms that
cause both conditions tend to be slow-growing – both in the
body and in the laboratory. If you have any doubts about what your doctor is thinking, take 20 Second Fungus Test and
see for yourself.
11 201620 Second Fungus Test
WILL MY FUNGAL INFECTION EVENTUALLY RESOLVE ITSELF WITHOUT TREATMENT?
Some may, but most will continue to persist without treatment.
Lung and systemic infections may grow progressively worse
and cause permanent tissue and organ damage even when
symptoms are not severe. Some deep infections are almost
uniformly fatal without treatment. If you suspect you have
a deep infection, begin the Fungus Destroyer Protocol
immediately.
IS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO CONTINUE THE FUNGUS DESTROYER PROTOCOL ALL THE WAY TO THE END?
Yes. Even if you start feeling better in a short period of
time, you should follow the protocol’s recommendations.
While something like yeast infections may resolve within a
few hours, some fungal infections may require weeks or even
months of consistent treatment.

Conclusion
With all the serious health dangers out there, like cancer and diabetes, having a yellowed nail from toenail fungus can seem pretty insignificant. Since fungus usually isn’t painful, many people often put off seeking treatment. While many people are otherwise healthy and may just think of it as a cosmetic problem, ignoring a fungal infection could have health consequences beyond appearances.
Over time, a fungus infection can become thick and misshapen, causing pain. Sometimes untreated fungus can spread to the surrounding skin. This may result in a deep infection, a condition marked by itchy, red, cracked skin. he fungus can also spread to the genitals, where it becomes jock itch or a yeast infection. And nobody wants that.
Widespread infection is of particular concern for people with diabetes and other chronic conditions that weaken the immune system. If the fungus spreads to the skin and causes it to crack, bacteria can get in. This may cause cellulitis, a condition that produces swollen, red, tender skin and must be treated with antibiotics. In severe cases of cellulitis, the infection can enter the bloodstream and be deadly.
That’s why 20 Second Fungus Test is so important. If you
are dealing with fungal symptoms, it will tell you if you are infected with a fungus. If not, you will know that your problems lie elsewhere and that you have to find a different solution. In any case, this test provides you with valuable information on how to proceed in order to find relief. And I think we can all agree that that is a good thing.
