Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yeast and Fungi Invaders International Medical Veritas Association Dr. Mark Sircus My work is based on the conviction, supported by many years of observations, comparisons and experiences, that the necessary and sufficient cause of the tumor is to be sought in the vast world of the fungi, the most adaptable, aggressive and evolved micro-organisms known in nature. Dr. Tullio Sumancini Oncologist, Rome Italy " The aggressive power of fungi is so great as to allow it, with only a cellular ring made up of three units, to tighten in its grip, capture and kill its prey in a short time notwithstanding the prey's desperate struggling. Fungus, which is the most powerful and the most organized micro-organism known, seems to be an extremely logical candidate as a cause of neoplastic proliferation, " The aggressive power of fungi is so great as to allow it, with only a cellular ring made up of three units, to tighten in its grip, capture and kill its prey in a short time notwithstanding the prey's desperate struggling. Fungus, Fungi are dreadful enemies. During their life cycle fungi depend on other living beings, which must be exploited to different degrees for their feeding. Fungi can develop from the hyphas that are more or less beak-shaped specialized structures that allow the penetration of the host. The shape of the fungus is never defined, for it is imposed by the environment in which the fungus develops. Fungi are capable of implementing an infinite number of modifications to their own metabolism in order to overcome the defense mechanism of the host. These modifications are implemented through plasmatic and biochemical actions as well as by a volumetric increase (hypertrophy) and numerical hyperplasy of the cells that have been attacked. In 1999 Meinolf Karthaus, MD, watched three different children with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a triple antifungal drug cocktail for their " secondary " fungal infections.[tr " Fungal infections not only can be extremely contagious, but they also go hand in hand with leukemia[ii] -- every oncologist knows this. And these infections are devastating: once a child who has become a bone marrow transplant recipient gets a " secondary " fungal infection, his chances of living, despite all the antifungals in the world, are only 20%, at best, " writes Dr. David Holland. Dr. Holland is talking about pharmaceutical antifungal agents, not about sodium bicarbonate, which until the arrival of Dr. Tullio Simoncini, was not known or used for fungal infections. Dr. Doug A. Kaufman writes, " The day I wrote this, a young lady phoned into my syndicated radio talk show. Her three-year-old daughter was diagnosed last year with leukemia. She believes antifungal drugs and natural immune system therapy has been responsible for saving her daughter's life. She is now telling others with cancer about her daughter's case. After hearing her story, a friend of hers with bone cancer asked her doctor for a prescriptive antifungal drug. To her delight, this medication, meant to eradicate fungus, was also eradicating her cancer. She dared not share this with her physician, telling him only that the antifungal medication was for a " yeast " infection. When she could no longer get the antifungal medication, the cancer immediately grew back. Her physician contended that a few antifungal pills surely should have cured her yeast infection. It is my contention, however, that the reason this medication worked was because she did have a yeast infection not a vaginal infection for which this medication was prescribed; a fungal infection of the bone that may have been mimicking bone cancer. " " Many cancer patients find the true fungal link to their cancer only to succumb to heart disease or immune deficiency caused by traditional cancer treatment. If this case were an isolated event, it might be referred to as " coincidental. " Many cancer patients find the true fungal link to their cancer only to succumb to heart disease or immune deficiency caused by traditional cancer treatment. If this case were an isolated event, it might be referred to as " coincidental.<WBR> " I have been able to plea A medical textbook used to educate Johns Hopkins medical students in 1957, Clinical and Immunologic Aspects of Fungous Diseases, declared that many fungal conditions look exactly like cancer! Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann The Germ That Causes Cancer Cancer is a biologically-Cancer spore (fungus) transformation disease. Dr. Milton W. White The University of Michigan Cancer Center has proclaimed that current chemotherapy targets the " wrong " cells. The Ann Arbor researchers discovered that not all cells in a tumor are equally malignant. Only a tiny minority of tumor cells are actually capable of inducing new cancers; the rest are relatively harmless. " These tumor-inducing cells have many of the properties of stem cells, " said Michael F. Clarke, MD, a professor of internal medicine, who directed the study. " They make copies of themselves--The University of Michigan CanceThe University of Michigan Cancer Center has proclaimed that curr According to the Mayo Clinic, cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. This is a fact that does not depend on the various theories. The theorizing begins when we run down the usual path thinking that cancer begins with damage (mutations) in our DNA. Our DNA is like a set of instructions for our cells, telling them how to grow and divide. Normal cells often develop mutations in their DNA, but they have the ability to repair most of these mutations. Or, if they can't make the repairs, the cells frequently die. However, certain mutations aren't repaired, causing the cells to grow and become cancerous.or so the story goes. Looking at the above definition we would be perfectly correct to say that yeasts and fungi are, in human terms, abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. A new cancer paradigm, one that is based on an understanding that cancer is ultimately caused by multiple interacting factors is far superior to a paradigm based on dubious attributable fractions. In understanding what cancer is we have to separate out the causes of cancer from the cancer itself. In the end we will come to see that cancer is a fungus, and not that cancer is caused by a fungus. What causes cancer, and what causes yeast and fungi to colonize and threaten the body is diverse. Many things have been scientifically shown to cause cancer or to cause the conditions in which late state infections (cancer) invite yeast and fungi to form colonies that attach to sickly human cells. Because cancer cells continue to grow and divide, they are different from normal cells. Instead of dying, they outlive normal cells and continue to form new abnormal cells. Two basic theories of cancer have existed up to now: (1) the viral theory and, (2) the trophoblast theory. There is a recognition that cancer cells share some properties with placental cells found in pregnancy. The classic experiments of Warburg on the respiratory pattern of cancers of various species and tissue origins reveal a high uniformity from tumor to tumor. Yet what these cells actually are is in doubt. Normal, healthy cells in our body grow in a very orderly and well-controlled way, living for a set period of time and then dying on schedule. When a normal cell dies, our body replaces it with another normal cell. Cancer cells grow in an uncontrolled manner. One malignant cell becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and so on, until a mass of cells (a tumor) is created. Tumors remain small until they're able to attract their own blood supply, which allows them to obtain the oxygen and nutrients they need to grow larger. But again this does not in the least suggest what these cancer cells actually are - human cells on the rampage, or yeast and fungi staking out their ever increasing territory? The image of the normal colon tissue, at left, shows well-formed oval-shaped glands, evenly lined with a single, organized layer of cells indicated by arrows. The image of the cancerous colon tissue, in contrast, shows highly disorganized cancer cells stacked upon each other in an apparently random fashion, exactly what we would expect from fungi invaders as well as human cells running amok. The predominant viral theory says that outside agents invade your body, or that somatic (good) cells mutate into cancer cells, and that there exists an infinite number of different cancers. The trophoblast theory of cancer was postulated over a hundred years ago by Scottish embryologist John Beard, a professor at the University of Edinburgh. He and subsequent researchers say that, morphologically, there is only one type of cancer cell, the trophoblast cell. The trophoblast cell has a natural body function: it arises from the meiosis (cell division) of a woman's diploid totipotent cells after fertilization. It really matters how we conceptualize cancer and the process that leads to its proliferation in the body. The theory that malignant cancers are false-placentas (trophoblast theory) was formulated by Beard when he observed that placenta cells resemble cancer cells. He also noted how malignant cancers act in the same way that placenta cells act in the mother's womb; they attach to the uterus and " eat " through it to obtain a blood supply. Beard also found other out-of-place trophoblast cells in great numbers throughout the body. These cells are placenta-like and do not differentiate into specific tissue, but lie dormant. Beard called these cells " germ " cells. They have properties similar to stem cells, and Beard believed that these cells are the seeds of cancer. Notice again how Beard and almost all medical scientists since assume these cells are human cells that seem to be like plecenta type cells but none of this proves anything about what the cells actually are. I remain stunned at the hesitancy of American physicians to try harmless antifungal approaches for anything but vaginal yeast. Dr. Doug Kaufmann A new area of research being driven by Dundee University in Scotland is revealing remarkable abilities of fungi to interact with minerals and metals. Led by Professor Geoffrey Gadd in the College of Life Sciences, the research explores the unique taste that fungi seems to have for rock and heavy metal. Yeasts, moulds and mushrooms are all fungi and there are an estimated 1.5 million different species in the biosphere. By breaking down dead organic material, they continue the cycle of nutrients through ecosystems, and most plants could not grow without the symbiotic fungi that inhabit their roots and supply essential nutrients. We wonder about cancer's great ability to kill both animals and people. No wonder when yeast and fungi are the types of organism that will thrive almost anywhere. They have been found growing in the harshest of environments, in the desert and polar regions, in the sea and on rocks. They have no problem proliferating in the human body especially in those suffering from heavy metal and other chemical poisoning with deficient immune systems and severe nutritional deficiencies. Fungi create acidic by-products which help them use nutrients in the minerals but this begins to decompose the rock in a form of biological weathering (bioweathering)Fungi create acidic by-products which help them use nutrients in the minerals but this begins to decompose the rock in a form of biological weathering (bioweathering)<WBR>. " This ability of fungi to attack and degrade concrete and other materials has implications not only for the weathering and corrosion of buildings but is also relevant to nuclear deco White rot fungi, the only organisms able to biodegrade wood, is so good at digesting just abut everything that they will be used to biodegrade toxic chemicals. Not a week goes by that we don't find yet another medical or societal reference to fungi causing human misery. In September 1999, Johns Hopkins medical researchers confirmed that virtually all chronic sinus infections were due to fungus. Fungus makes poisonous byproducts called mycotoxins. Antibiotics are one class of mycotoxins. The fact that mycotoxins can cause cancer is not up for grabs. Even the American Cancer Society admit: " Mycotoxins are genotoxic carcinogens, and exposure begins in utero and in mother's milk, continuing throughout life; these conditions favor the occurrence of disease. " (Murphy, et al. American Cancer Society Textbook of Clinical Oncology, 2nd ed. 1995) A medical textbook used to educate Johns Hopkins medical students in 1957, Clinical and Immunologic Aspects of Fungous Diseases, declared that many fungal conditions look exactly like cancer! Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann The Germ That Causes Cancer Both cancer cells and fungi can metabolize nutrients in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically) and both must have sugar in order to survive. Both can be impacted by antifungal medicines.[iii] Both will die in the absence of sugar.[iv] " MycotoxiBoth cancer cells and fungi can metabolize nutrients in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically) and both must have sugar in order to survive. Both can be impacted by antifungal medicines.[iii] Both will die in the absence of sugar.[iv] " Mycotoxi<WBR>ns have proven to be very toxic and harmful, and it is no wonder that many in Cancer is defined as malignant tumor of disorderly cells that have the potential of nearly unlimited growth. These uncontrolled cells expand locally and/or metastasize (spread destructively) to other tissues and organs. Clearly this can define a yeast or fungus colony as well as normal cells losing control of their own reproductive growth. One thing we do know about the genetic theory of human cancer cells is that it is impossible to treat. The war on cancer was lost because medical scientists were fighting the wrong enemy. They were battling against their assumptions that are in the end turning into conceptual phantoms. Doctors are assuming incorrectly yet are in denial that they could be so wrong, so blind, so pigheaded when looking at other probablilities. Everyone is in denial about something. For Freud, denial was a defense against external realities that threaten the ego, and many psychologists today would argue that it can be a protective defense in the face of unbearable news, like a cancer diagnosis, or for the modern day onclogist to hear that cancer is really a fungus infection. The idea that a proposed cancer germ could have more than one form is a threat to doctors and some microbiologists. Indeed the cancer germ has been described as having a virus like and fungus-like, as well as mycoplasma-like phase. Dr. Alan Cantwell The Cancer Microbe Fungi are so aggressive as to attack not only plants, animal tissue, food supplies and other fungi, but even protozoa, amoebas and nematodes. Here we see the beginning of the invasion, in this case the fungi/yeast being attracted to an artery but it can be to any rotting or weakening tissues. As we will see in other chapters this kind of infective invasion is not the exception but the rule when it comes to cancer. It is absolutely ridiculous to even imagine cellular pathology without an infectious process. It just does not happen in nature or at least certainly not in human physiology. When there is rot there is invasion from hosts of pathogens - in increasingly evolved forms - as the infection persists. Viruses, bacteria, fungus and yeast proliferate and evolve in compromised biological environments. Bacteria, primarily in the coccus-like form in microscopic tissue sections, have also been found in various forms of cancer. When the conditions are right, viruses, bacteria and then yeast and fungi will develop their colonies and expand in number rapidly. " Fungi show a great variety of reproductive manifestations (sexual, asexual, gemmation), these manifestations can often be observed simultaneously in the same mycete., and combined with a great morphostructural variety of organs. All of this is directed toward the end of spore formation, to which the continuity and propagation of the species is entrusted, continues Dr. Simoncini. Cancer is one of the most maligned and misunderstood diseases of the past millennium. There is also reason to believe it is one of the most misdiagnosed maladies. Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann Dr. MJ Dvmanov, a professor of medical mycology says, " A disease caused by a fungal mold is called a mycosis. Often a fungal infection, a mycosis, abscess or a fibroid immune response to the presence of fungal mold is called a cancer. Two of my recent studies involved a 26 year old female with a large mold growth in her left lung that required surgical removal and a 65 year old male with a brain " cancer " that was later diagnosed as being 2 different fungal mold growths. Mold produces many toxins and exposure to some molds result in a cancer or unnatural cell growth both hyperplasia and metaplasia. I have investigated cases where initial diagnosis was cancer and later from biopsy and culture identified as a mold growth. Far more deaths are caused by a fungal mold than anyone would believe. Dr. Leyland H. Hartwell's Noble Prize in Medicine Lecture in 2001 introduced the fact that in culture cancer cells just like fungal mold, often described by histopathologists as undifferentiated carcinomas, are immortal just like fungal mold in that they continue to grow even outside the body, when normal human cells do not. If cancer cells are not human cells, then what are they, fungal mold? " In looking at live blood, you can clearly " see " that there are forms that look like bacteria, micro-organisms and parasites that not only are in the blood, but that over time can grow and can change their shapes. Fungi will also live almost anywhere. They have been found growing in the harshest of environments, in the desert and polar regions, in the sea and on rocks. Candida albicans will shift from yeast form to mycelial fungal form and start to invade the body. In the yeast state, Candida is a non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, while in fungal state it is invasive and can produce rhizoids, very long root-like structures. Fungi are serious enemies. " When the nutritional conditions are precarious, many fungi react with hyphal fusion (among nearby fungi) which allows them to explore the available material more easily, using more complete physiological processes. Fungi are capable of implementing an infinite number of modifications to their own metabolism in order to overcome the defense mechanism of the host, " says Simoncini. When fungi are fed the food they love they become more virulent. Their ability to penetrate and root into the intestinal walls, for example and invade the cells is increased. They not only attach themselves to human tissues but can actually invade the cells where they become quite at home. Thus they are not secondary but primary infections that have been helped along with runaway antibiotic usage, dental amalgam, flu vaccines laden with mercury, mineral deficiencies and by terrible modern diets infected with molds and yeasts as well as many potent poisons. The shape of the fungus is never defined, for it is imposed by the environment in which the fungus develops. " In some cases, the aggressive power of fungi is so great as to allow it, with only a cellular ring made up of three units, to tighten in its grip, capture and kill its prey in a short time notwithstanding the prey's desperate struggling. Fungus, which is the most powerful and the most organized micro-organism known, seems to be an extremely logical candidate as a cause of neoplastic proliferation, " In some cases, the aggressive power of fungi is so great as to allow it, with only a cellular ring made up of three units, to tighten in its grip, capture and kill its prey in a short time notwithstanding the prey's desperate struggling. Fun 1) Ubiquitous attachment: no organ or tissue is spared 2) The constant absence of hyperpyrexia 3) Sporadic and indirect involvement of the differential tissues 4) Invasiveness that is almost exclusively of the focal type 5) Progressive debilitation 6) Refractivity to any type of treatment 7) Proliferation facilitated by multiplicity of indifferent cofounders. " " We therefore have to hypothesise that Candida, in the moment it is attacked by the immunological system of the host or by a conventional antimycotic treatment, does not react in the usual, predicted way, but defends itself by transforming itself into ever-smaller and non-differentiated elements that maintain their fecundity intact to the point of hiding their presence both to the host organism and to possible diagnostic investigations, " We therefore have Candida's behavior may be considered to be almost elastic: When favorable conditions exist, it thrives on an epithelium; as soon as the tissue reaction is engaged, it massively transforms itself into a form that is less productive but impervious to attack -- the spore. If then continuous sub-epithelial solutions take place, coupled with a greater reactivity in that very moment the spore gets deeper in the lower connective tissue in such an impervious state, it is irreversible. In fact, the Candida takes advantage of a structural interchangeability according to the difficulties required to overcome its biological niche. Factors that predispose a patient to candidiasis are general health concerns embrace all conditions that affect the immune system, including systemic disease, endocrine abnormalities, diabetes, drugs such as immunosuppressive agents, systemic steroids, antibiotics, and oral contraceptives may increase the likelihood of development of candidiasis. Long term antibiotic treatment for acne or recurrent urinary tract infection is often implicated in the overgrowth of Candida. The candidiasis may become extensive if the patients are treated with antibiotics on the erroneous assumption that the infection is bacterial. It is therefore urgent, on the basis of the above-mentioned considerations, to recognize the hazardous nature of such a pathogenic agent, which is capable of easily taking the most various biological configurations, both biochemical and structural, in function of the condition of the host organism. The fungal expansion gradient in fact becomes steeper as the tissue that is the host of the mycotic invasion becomes less eutrophic, and thus less reactive. When fungal colonization and mycotoxin contamination is maximal one finds cancer growing and mestastizing at a maximal rate. If the spine, for example, becomes infected with bacteria or fungi, inside or on the surface of vertebrae, then the entire torso region (region between neck and waist) may be extremely sore and stiff after being in bed for a while, and may feel better after taking a hot shower and moving around, yet may still be sore during the day, especially during a deep breath. All of the medications proven to be effective in the treatment of the mycotoxin-induced diseases possess anti-fungal and/or anti-mycotoxic activity. Dr. A.V. Costantini We can an establish a unified theory that ties in the deterioration of cells, the changes in DNA, RNA, mitochondria, respiration, build up of toxicity and heavy metals, loss of cell wall permeability, increasing buildup of calcium, loss of energy, changes in energy metabolism and changes in pH all of which create serious deteriorations in cell health and ability to resist infection. Cancer is a big word and within its embrace is a host of factors. Fungi are big invaders that would put Atilla the Hun to shame running us as they do, so easily into our graves.
