“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S.

The Ringworm Sniper. The Scalp Root Extractor.

Filed Under: Keratin Infiltration / Childhood Fungus / Legacy Protocols


1. Superficial Skin and Scalp Fungus

Griseofulvin is one of the oldest antifungals still used today—especially effective for:

  1. Tinea capitis (scalp ringworm, hair follicle fungus)
  2. Tinea corporis (body ringworm)
  3. Tinea cruris (jock itch)
  4. Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot)
  5. Tinea unguium (nail fungus, though Terbinafine is preferred now)

It concentrates in keratin-containing tissues, like skin, hair, and nails.


2. Best for Children and Resistant Ringworm

Still often prescribed for:

  1. Children with fungal scalp infections
  2. Cases of chronic or treatment-resistant ringworm
  3. Fungal spread through combs, bedsheets, or pets

Used for fungal infections transmitted through surfaces and community spread.


3. Accumulates in Hair + Skin Cells

Griseofulvin binds to keratin precursor cells, meaning:

  1. Fungus can’t infect newly growing skin or hair
  2. As cells grow out, infected tissue is replaced with fungus-resistant cells

Like growing a new fungal-proof surface from the inside out.


4. Less Common Today—But Still Effective

  1. Replaced in many protocols by Terbinafine or Itraconazole
  2. Still useful if:
  3. You’ve failed other antifungals
  4. Your fungal load is in skin folds, scalp, or childhood-acquired zones


Mechanism of Action:

  1. Disrupts fungal mitosis (cell division)
  2. Inhibits fungal ability to replicate within keratin-rich tissues


Dosing:

  1. Adults: 500–1000mg daily depending on body weight and infection
  2. Duration: 2–6 weeks for skin; up to 12 weeks for nails or scalp

Best absorbed with fatty meals (e.g., avocado, olive oil, coconut)


Cautions:

  1. Mild liver strain possible—support detox (milk thistle, NAC)
  2. Can cause photosensitivity (wear sunscreen)
  3. Not used for systemic candida or mold


What It Doesn’t Do:

  1. Doesn’t touch gut or blood fungus
  2. Doesn’t help with mold or yeast overgrowth
  3. Doesn’t break biofilm or reset terrain


Conclusion:

Griseofulvin is a slow, silent surface-level specialist.

It doesn’t go deep. It goes outward—protecting your skin, nails, and scalp from the fungal invaders who tried to take your edges.

It’s not flashy. But it gets under the hairline, where fungus thinks it can h
