The Fungal Theory

If you make your own yoghurt, it's sure to contain active acidophillus.

Another lady wrote this on other forum, which I found interesting...

"I use kefir-cultured milk. It is a live probiotic and prebiotic.

- One capsule of man-made probiotics normally contains around 15 billion bacteria.

- One little bowl of fresh yogurt (500 ml), contains around 1.5 trillion beneficial organisms.

- 100 times more than a 15 billion capsule.

- And one tiny bowl of fresh kefir (500 ml), contains as many as 5 trillion beneficial organisms. Almost 400 times more than a capsule.

Kefir and other fermented milk products contain buffering agents that nurture and guard the lactobacillus from bile acids in the stomach. This way it survives to reach the intestines where it creates Vit. B-12 and helps to breakdown and package food for excretion. Milk products are such powerful buffering agents that even poison control centers suggest drinking milk if a poison is ingested.

Bacteria within pill form are in a resting cycle and the bacteria inside kefir and yogurt are alive and well, making them much more able to adapt to unexpected changes in surroundings as they enter the body.

These fermented milk products are considered functional foods because they function as healthiness promoting foods. Probiotic pill supplements just offer single thing, bacteria. Fermented Milk offers much more than the microorganisms; minerals, vitamins, amino acids, L-carnitine, good fats, antimicrobial agents and other micronutrients.

Scientist tested the kefir inside the Caucasus Mountains on behalf of any type of dangerous bacteria. But much to their shock, they found nothing. Deep inside the mountains wherever hygienic conditions are much worse than ours, the scientist refused to believe there were no dangerous bacteria to be found. Creating a potential scenario that a piece of animal fecal matter would fall into the milk, they injected the E. Coli bacteria into the kefir. Within 24 hours the E. Coli was destroyed by Kefir's beneficial bacteria. Kefir has moreover demonstrated the capability to kill H. Pylori infections while bacteria alone could not. In addition, the complex microflora of kefir has also exposed a sharp capability to stimulate our immune structure, ward off infections from salmonella, and in some cases even fight cancer."

Interesting for those of us that consume organic grass fed dairy products...to consider.

Food for thought...the next few post are continuations of this post.

I thought the following was interesting in the history of cancer research and noted virus, and fungus being a major factor.

John Nuzum, a pathologist and physician at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, reported a pleomorphic coccus he repeatedly isolated from breast cancer. The tiniest forms were virus-like and passed through a filter designed to hold back bacteria. Nuzum grew his "micrococcus" from 38 of 41 early breast cancers, and from the cancerous lymph nodes and metastatic tumours resulting from spread of the cancer to other parts of the body.  During his 6 years of intensive bacteriological study, he learned the microbe could pass through a filter designed to hold back bacteria, indicating that some forms of the microbe were as small as the size of some viruses. With special stains he detected these small round coccoid forms within the breast cancer tumour cells. Although Nuzum couldn't produce cancer tumours in mice, he was able to induce breast cancer tumours in 2 of 5 dogs injected with the microbe.

Royal Raymond Rife studied medicine at the prestigious John Hopkins University, and began his career as a research pathologist and medical researcher. Over his lifetime, Rife was to receive fourteen major scientific awards and honours and an honorary doctorate from the University of Heidelberg for his scientific discoveries.

Royal R. Rife cultured tissue from a breast cancer sample, in Kendall medium, and isolated a micro-organism. He followed this experiment with a series of other studies in which he cultured an organism in Kendall media, from tissue taken from a human breast cancer.  He then injected this microorganism into 412 healthy rats, and found that without fail they all developed breast cancer.  Finally, he was then able to isolate the original microorganism from the tumours which grew in the rats. In the process Rife became probably the first person ever to fulfil Koch's postulants, for cancer causing microbes.  Koch's Postulants are a set of rules to prove the causation of disease by microorganisms.  They state that to prove such causality the microorganism must first be isolated and cultured.  It must then be shown to have infected a health animal, and finally the same organism must be recoverable from the now infected animal.

The cancer virus which Rife named Cryptocides Primordiales or the BX virus, was a minute 1/5 micron in length and 1/20 micron in width.  It was highly motile, aerobic (requiring free oxygen for its survival) and highly pathogenic. Rife discovered that while exposing the virus to a temperature of 42C for 24 hours would kill the virus, it remained unaffected by exposure to either X-ray, UV or Infra-red waves.
 
While the discovery of a cancer virus was in itself an incredible feat of scientific endeavour, Rife was to make yet more discoveries destined to rock the scientific status quo. The BX virus was shown to be a polymorphic virus, able to change its states according to the culture in which it was grown.  When a BX virus was cultivated in a different media, it was seen to change into a BY virus.  When the media was changed yet again it developed into a monococcoid in the monocytes of the blood, and with a further change of media it morphed once again, this time into crytomyces pleomorphia fungi. At any stage along this journey of polymorphism, the original BX virus could be grown again by adding any one of these forms to the original media.

1950

In the 1950s Irene Diller of the Institute for Cancer Research at Fox Chase, Philadelphia, discovered fungus-like microbes in cancer cells. Joining forces with the Livingston team, Diller worked with specially bred mice with a proven cancer incidence. By injecting them with microbes cultured from breast cancer and other tumours, she was able to more than double the cancer incidence of the mice.  She injected healthy animals with cancer bacteria. When cancer tumours developed she successfully cultured the microbe from the tumours - thus proving that these bacteria were implicated in the production of cancer. Utilising Livingston's methods, Diller also grew the microbe from the blood of cancer patients.

1950 - Present

In the 1950, Professor Gaston Naessens invented a high-powered light microscope, capable of viewing the tiniest forms of life within blood. With this microscope, Naessens discovered in the blood of animals and humans - as well as in the saps of plants - a subcellular microscopic life form that reproduces, which he christened a somatid (tiny body). The somatid, he found, could be cultured (grown) outside the bodies of its hosts (in vitro, "under glass,").   Naessens also observed that this somatid life form was pleomorphic (form-changing).  He observed this somatid life form was limited to 3 stages in a healthy organism - somatid, spore, and double spore - and that these 3 stages where crucial to the organisms survival.

What was more amazing, was that Professor Naessens observed that this somatid life form became pathogenic (harmful) when the immune system of the organism was compromised or weakened.  He observed these somatid life forms then entered a further 13 stages of development, changing from bacterial into yeast-like fungus forms. (A total of 16 stages).  Naessens studied the blood of various degenerative diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, AIDS, and cancer, and consistently found the 16 stages of the somatid life cycle present in all of these diseases.

Oops, sorry, I had missed the last page's worth of posts. GREAT INFO here, Victoria and Barry! I do culture my own yogurt from grass-fed milk, so I know I'm getting good probiotics that way, and I've made water kefir in the past. I also brew my own kombucha, which I believe has probiotics too. May want to try my hand making milk kefir in the near future. Since I've never had any intestinal problems or yeast-related infections/overgrowths that I know of, I've never felt a need to buy probiotics at the health food store, but hopefully I'm getting enough of them in my grass-fed yogurt and home-brewed kombucha.

In regards to biopsy, if you have a fungal tumor or growth, puncturing it with a needle can allow the fungal spores to be released into your blood stream, causing the infection to spread. (This is typical with the Ascomycete ("sac") fungi. I had a needle biopsy...wish I had known then, what I know now.

Yeah, and would you believe, NONE of the doctors I met with were willing to do an excisional biopsy on me (I had a large palpable tumor that they were all sure was 5cm worth of IDC). Not ONE would agree to do it. After seeing all the breast specialists that my insurance covered, I finally had to agree to a core biopsy, much against my wishes. Grrrrrr. Thankfully I only had DCIS, so it couldn't live outside the duct anyway, but who knows whether I had fungal spores that they released to the rest of my body that way??

Impositive, we purchase a germ (kefir seed) from a friend. Two germs cost us $10. We put it in raw goats milk...2/3rd quart jar. Place a cheese cloth on the mouth of the jar...rubber bands to hold it in place. It needs to breathe. Do not refegerate it. After a few days the seeds (germs) multiplied. The kefir rose to the top, and the bottom of the jar clear. We drank the clear fluid. The clearer flued tasted like sour milk. The top part of the kefir is curds. They are a little cheesy. We ate them, but not all of it...as we needed to keep some to reproduce.

You have to stay on top of it. For whatever reason, after a few weeks our germs seem sick. The kefir didn't taste right. I think our kefir went bad. 

It was a lot of work. The funny thing about it is it didn't make me better. At that time, I still had mouth sores, stomach issues and a weaken immune system. My naturalpath said that kefir produces a lot of sugar, which I didn't need in my body right then. She asked me not to take kefir...rather, probiotics. I am fortunate to live near good health stores and places where I can purchase kefir.  

I do take kefir everyonce in awhile..as said before, I purchase it.  

There are good internet sites (u-tube) on how to make kefir.

Listen to this ladies - HER2+ is very aggressive and you need Herceptin. Antioxidents block the action of herceptin and interfere with treatment. You are in a good position at Stage I - don't waste time and end up with a more serious problem 6 months from now. I worked in research with human subjects and I can tell you it is very difficult to get good study data. These alternative studies don't have enough subjects to make the results reliable and the methodology is sometimes questionable beause there is no review board. I am all for finding new ways to fight cancer, but don't risk your future on an unproven method.

I get really upset with these info-mercials touting cancer cures, pushing vitamins and antioxidents when that is the last thing hormone positive patients need - just to make a buck$$$$. And a supposed MD on the web doing the same, like all breast cancers can be treated the same. Probably had his license revoked and is trying to get rich off women's fears.

barry wrote: I've also read that a palpable lump can be only dcis. From what I've learned thus far ,,, most dcis are not a palpable lump...rather unorganized cancerous cells found in the ducts. Those who have a palpable lump are more likely for a recurrence and or to become invasive. My dcis was found by spotting califciations on a mammogramn. Julia (crunchy), it concerns me that you had a bloody discharged. Did you get a second opinion on your biopsy? Did you ever get that mx?

That's exactly why I decided to agree to the mastectomy... the few DCIS cases that involve a palpable lump are more likely to turn invasive. I'm glad that palpable lump has been out of me for a year now as of this past Wednesday! BTW, the bloody discharge went away immediately with my first lumpectomy.

I didn't get a second opinion on my biopsy, but my doctor was SO sure it was invasive, I feel like if there had been any evidence of an invasion, he would have spotted it. Both lumpectomy and reexcision and all the biopsies I've had confirmed low- and medium-grade DCIS. (BTW, my mastectomy is now scheduled for Dec. 8 so after over a year of this, I will finally be getting rid of all remaining DCIS once and for all.)

At this point, I would not be comfortable leaving cancer in my body. I fear that cancer would move faster than my ability to get rid of the yeast that has entangled itself throughtout my body. It takes months to get rid of it. Once the cancer/fungus was removed through surgery or biopsy, I would do everything I could to support my immune system to fight off stray cells. I would definately go on a serious candida diet and other anti fungal meds.

That is my sentiment exactly. I will not do rads or Tamoxifen, but I do want the dang cancer cells out of my body and am continuing with an aggressive anti-cancer, anti-candida, alkalizing diet and lifestyle.

Impositive and Barry,

Thank you so much for your kind words -- sure with I was in the Caribbean right now!

Here is something interesting: I have had a mole on my right breast (bc side) that has been growing slowly for a few years. It is asymmetric and my radiation oncologist wants to keep an eye on it. I had a recurrence of my tinea versicolor last week so I applied the selenium lotion and I'll be damned if the mole hasn't all but disappeared!

One love, Jackie
