The Fungal Theory

Barry, do they just mri the breast area, or do they look elsewhere for metastasis?

For those of you who are new to the yeast/candida connection to cancer...you will find this article a good read.   http://www.candida-society.org/ncs/digestv1i3.htm

Effect of candida on the endocrine system

Once candida has overgrown, it can bind to hormones changing their ;key' shape so they are unable to fit 'lock' in their receptor. This effectively inactivates the circulating hormone, making all endocrine problems ten times worse.

Perhaps this is why we are plague with autoimmune diseases???

Sister, even if fungal infections are a cause of breast cancer....once it progresses into high grade form and if we are unlucky enough to get one of the aggressive forms of cancer, I don't believe that simply addressing fungus is enough to saves our lives.  Her2+ is such an aggressive form of cancer and thank God scientists developed chemo and herceptin (sp).  2 cm is big enough and even with zero nodes, there could have been entrance of the cancer cells to the body through vascular invasion. 

I am triple negative and got to keep my tumor inside while I took chemo and got to feel the tumor collapse into nothing after just 2 doses of chemo....it is a God send cure.  I wish I could take Temoxifin or herceptin to help keep it gone.  They have not invented any after-chemo targeted therapy for triple negatives yet.....I urge you to grab on to what science has to offer you.  

Lets say for example that drinking alchohol caused my cancer (its possible)...well just  not drinking alchohol would not have cured me.  The cause and the cure can be very different.  a simple thing may cause the cancer but just treating that simple thing probably isn't enough to save a life once that cancer has developed into a high grade beast.  God bless you sister.  I hope you will consider the treatment that has saved so many of our lives.

My oncologist told me that if it comes back to an organ is it so often does iwth metastatic cancer...it is by definition incurable.  That;s why we have to kick its a$$ up front before it has a chance to get our livers, lungs, brains, bones.  Chemo kicks a$$.  Herceptin protects.  Sorry for being so preachy.

Impositive...You need to get rid of your insurance plan. You would do better if had no plan. Susan Koman Foundation would pay for your mammo, and biopsy. Hospitals are more like to forgive your medical bills if you have no coverage. I was self pay and they didn't care if I paid them $10 a month. Plus they cut the bill in half.  

I heard that mammo's don't give off anymore x-rays than a plane flight. There's a lot of debate over mammograms. It was the mammo that found my califications and the biopsy the high grade dcis. But...if not mammo try a ultra sound. 

I want to be screened for peace of mind. If I am cancer free then I will know that I'm on the right track. Of course, in just coming to understand the fungus connection, I fully realize that I could be at risk for a recurrence. I wish I had known about candida and probiotics before the lumpectomies.

12. A transporter in the colon called SLC5A8 plays an important role in enabling the colon to get the last bit of good out of food before the unusable is flushed away, according to research currently published online as an accelerated communication in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. The finding that SLC5A8 is the transporter helps clarify why fruits and vegetables are good for you and why antibiotics, which wipe out good bacteria along with bad, should only be taken when absolutely necessary, upset the model and colonic cells get sick and may even become cancerous. "We do not make the enzyme to digest cellulose; bacteria make the enzyme in the colon," says Dr. Ganapathy

"The gut is a huge immune organ; there are more immune cells in our gut than there are in the rest of the body put together," says Dr. Robert G. Martindale, MCG gastrointestinal surgeon and nutritionist with a special interest in probiotics giving patients good bacteria to restore a healthy flora. "The work that Dr. Ganapathy is doing is showing very nicely that if, in fact, we keep this short-chain fatty acid transporter healthy, we then can keep the whole immune system healthy."

Impositive...we're both due for screening. Hopefully we will celebrate being cancer free.

Cancer is Caused by Infected Injuries

By Ronald Gdanski, Author of the book CANCER, Cause, Cure and Cover-up.

IJust look at the mysteries regarding cancer. Up to 96% of cancer cells have membrane traits. Why? Bone cancer does not result in unrestrained bone growth. Why not? We never have cancer of the heart, arteries or veins. Why not? Injuries that do not heal cause cancer. Why? Cancer occurs most frequently within liquid storage vessels such as the stomach, colon, bladder, breast, prostate, etc. Why? There are far too many cancer observations that cannot be answered by the defective gene theory, including growth itself.

Genes do not control growth any more than a steering wheel controls an automobile or a traffic cop controls traffic. The traffic cop does not make cars drive down the street, the steering wheel does not power the automobile, and genes do not cause cells to divide and multiply. Biology texts state that genes have only two functions: store information and duplicate it in the form of RNA. Genes control the direction of growth and maintain the continuity of life. All genes are combinations of 2 functionally equal base pairs called AT and CG. There are only 64 possible combinations known as the "Universal Genetic Code". All genes produce amino acids, none of which control other genes. The very existence of oncogenes has never been proven. It's just a theory totally lacking in a scientific basis.

Parasitic Larvae Cause Cancer

Reliable historic data shows that a cancer researcher initiated cancer in healthy laboratory animals by infecting them with parasitic larvae from a worm found in horses. He proved that parasitic larvae can cause cancer, and that cancer starts with an infection of them. Have you ever heard that someone was able to prove that parasites cause cancer? Can you name the researcher? Ask your doctor if this is true.

If you refer to www.nobelprizes.com, (1926) you will discover that a Dr. Fibiger of Denmark initiated cancer in the laboratory in 1913. Mainstream medicine is fully aware of his discovery because Fibiger received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this achievement. Why is this 80 year old cause of cancer research ignored and suppressed? Is there a cover-up in progress?

How do parasitic larvae cause cancer? Perhaps they didn't know then, but we do know now. Read on.

Infection Plus Injury Causes Cancer

Oncologists advise: "At the first sign of abnormal bleeding, call your doctor." The terms "benign growth, cyst, polyp and pre-cancerous lesion" describe a mass of abnormal and infected cells closely related to cancer when something triggers rapid growth. Physical injuries that do not heal, due to infection, also lead to cancer.

Healing of a cut finger, or lack of healing if the cut becomes infected, demonstrates the all-natural cause of cancer. Rapid doubling of cells to repair injuries is due to an increased energy field called the current-of-injury. The autonomic current-of-injury stays on until the injury is healed. If the injury is infected healing does not take place but cells continue to divide and multiply endlessly. These mutated cells are rejected like a skin graft that does not take and collect mainly in our storage vessels.

The current of injury that causes human cells to double rapidly also causes the pathogens inside the cells to double rapidly. Fungi and other infectious microbes have genes to produce growth factors for membrane cells, just as mushrooms, a fungi, produce the skin of a mushroom. Human and parasitic life-form cells simultaneously produce growth factors for membrane cells to repair the membrane. The resulting daughter cells end up with mutations in the cell wall. The new cells do not knit with original cells and fail to heal. The current-of-injury stays on. Infected cells and pathogens continue to divide, mutate, and multiply. Lack of knitting results in metastasis. That's cancer explained with all-natural causes and existing data.

The reason why only membrane cells multiply is that pathogens have growth factors for membrane walls but none to differentiate cells into bones, muscle, fat or other body organs. Cancer does not occur often in muscle or fat tissue because there are very few membrane cells in muscle and fat tissue. We do not have cancer of the heart, arteries or veins because the oxygen level is too high for cancer cells. Cancer occurs in liquid storage vessels because the oxygen level is suitable for cancer cells and relatively thick membranes form the container walls. The frequency of our major cancers-lung, colon, breast, bladder, prostate, etc. - are directly proportional to the size of the vessel and the frequency of infection. Virus do not cause cancer directly. Virus cause growths, such as warts. Injuries trigger rapid growth.

Leukemia is a fungal infection of white blood cells, called leukocytes. Leukemia does not form tumors because leukocytes do not form membranes. Brain tumors initiate in membrane walls within the skull. Cancer consumes only those cells that require growth factors parasites don't have.

The trigger that causes a pre-cancerous lesion to become malignant cancer growth is a break in the membrane wall. That's why up to 96% of cancer cells have membrane cell traits. That's why investigative surgery of a benign growth often triggers cancer.

Cancer occurs when the repair-of-injury mechanism is trapped in high gear multiplying infected membrane cells that fail to heal the intended injury.

Rate of cancer growth is dependent upon the size of the injury, the vitality of the body, and the quantity of nutrients and other growth factors essential for DNA division and cellular growth. "Yeast Artificial Chromosome" from yeast infections such as Candida also increases the rate of cancer cell growth. Eliminating parasites eliminates the source of these essential growth factors.

Kira, my naturalpath suggested probiotics that are refergerated. She says that probiotics are alive and she doesn't trust the ones that aren't. Do you have a naturalpathic doctor? They are such a help. Most will work with you when it comes to $$$

For healing of wounds my naturalpath doctor suggested I take l-Glutamine. l-Glutamine builds new tissue ... important for healing of wounds. It also helps to heal leaky gut.

Glutamine, or L-glutamine, is an amino acid derived from another amino acid, glutamic acid. Glutamine plays a role in the health of the immune system, digestive tract, and muscle cells, as well as other bodily functions. It appears to serve as a fuel for the cells that line the intestines. Heavy exercise, infection, surgery, and trauma can deplete the body's glutamine reserves, particularly in muscle cells.

tara, impositive is the expert! I've only seriously looked into the fungus theory since my recent candida infection.  It's been a fancinating study. It's changed how I look at diseases and my health.

I'm the one who brought up the cutting out the bad spot of a apple with wide margins in comparison to why we need wide margins in cutting out cancer. I would be interested in how impositive would respond to that one...or what Kauffman would say? My gut reasoning is that decaying (fungus) spreads...maybe if caught early, hopefully it hasn't yet spread to the core of the apple...comparing it to breast cancer. You wouldn't want to cut off your whole breast if just one small part of the breast was infected with cancer? In regard to the body, where does the infection begin and stop? My question now is should you cut out the bad spot? I read that injury can cause cancer. Surgery can put us at risk for cancer in that if the area where surgery was done becomes infected ... it can become cancerous. Just like any sore or wound that doesn't heal. Not sure what I think about foregoing surgery? Without surgery how would you get rid of the cancer? What about benign biopsy's? Right now, I lean toward surgery. Greater risk to leave the cancer in the body.

Your question tara...I read somewhere that what is such a challenge about cancer (or fungus/tumor) is that it fools our immune system into thinking it is a collection of normal cells, and the immune system doesn't fight it and that's why it is allowed to continue on, not necessarily that our immune system somehow fails to do its job.  Rather, it gets fooled.  Does this fit into some of the theories here on your thread?

Yes...I read that fungus fools the immune system...mostly in that it latches onto our normal cells and the white blood cells sees the yeast on the normal cells and for that reason attacks them.  I also read that when the immune system is suppressed or the death of our good bacteria that candida (being a opportunistic fungus) takes over. There isn't enough of the good bacteria or the immune system weakened can't control the yeast.

In my opinion it wouldn't hurt us to every once in a while to do a candida clease. My daughter has been on it for two weeks. I'm amazed at the change in her. She was always fatigued, especially after teaching. She is feeling peppy after a full day of work, and overall feels healthier and happier.

where do u get the refrigerated kind?

Claire, do you have a health store such as New Seasons? Most health stores have refregerated probiotics. The health stores also have colon cleanses and other products to rid yourself of candida. Try Pau D Arco tea for detoxing yourself of candida.

The second way to boost probiotic bacteria is to eat foods that feed friendly bacteria.
