After the yogurt dries, one can even brush it off and go for a good long walk or run outdoors, though after a few hours, one begins to smell of cheese, as other things begin growing in the yogurt. I finally got rid of nearly all of my hypersensitivity to chemicals. The general theory is that the antifungals and other chemicals released by the lactobacteria in yogurt kill off much of the candida and other fungi on the skin, while the acidity of the yogurt destroys the gram negative bacteria. Finally, some of the lactobacteria move in and begin living in the skin, further inhibiting those undesirables. With the burden of cleaning up toxic chemicals from the skin lifted, it may be that the liver and pancreas are once again adequate to clean up low-normal levels of typical environmental toxins.
Environmental sensitivities begin to disappear.
During the day time, our normal routines generate considerable stress, stress which is handled by spurts of adrenalin. Unfortunately, this adrenalin partly suppresses the immune system. So during the day, our immune system may not be as effective as it is during the night when we are generally free of stress. So if we give the immune system even more help during th night, it has a better chance of finally overcoming the candida and other pathogens. This is probably why I find washing with yogurt MUCH more effective if done before going to be.
