Cancer
starts out as an
overgrowth of Candida Albicans... |
- When you probe cancer cells within the
human body, they appear white in color and
uneven in texture just like yeast.
- Both cancer and Candida feed on sugar.
- Both grow and reproduce only in anaerobic
environments.
- Both need an acidic environment to
survive.
Every person lives in a virtual sea of
microorganisms, (bacteria, viruses, fungi,
etc.). These microbes can reside in the
throat, mouth, nose, intestinal tract, almost
anywhere; they are as much a part of our
bodies as the food we eat. Usually, these
microorganisms do not cause illness, unless
our resistance becomes lowered.
The job of Candida albicans is to recognize
and destroy harmful bacteria: Without it, we
would be defenseless against many pathogenic
bacteria. In a healthy person, Candida
albicans numbers in the millions and is
controlled by a properly-functioning immune
system and "friendly" bacteria. However, if
the number of friendly bacteria is decreased,
the immune system is weakened, or other
conditions for yeast proliferation occur (diet
high in sugar, improper pH in the digestive
system) Candida albicans will shift from yeast
form to mycelial fungal form and start to
invade the body. When the yeast turns
fungal, it grows roots and spread itself and
toxins through the bloodstream.
STRESS depresses the immune system and
functions, allowing this fungal overgrowth to
proliferate. It wont become cancer overnight,
but depending on the level of toxicity in the
environment and foods and drugs you use,
depends on whether it will form into cancer. The
immune system may concurrently be also
adversely affected by poor nutrition, heavy
exposure to molds in the air, as well as an
increasing number of chemicals in our food,
water and air, including petrochemicals,
formaldehyde, perfumes, cleaning fluids,
insecticides, tobacco and other indoor and
outdoor pollutants.
Over 100 years ago,
a Candida infection was very uncommon. It
was uncommon because, during that era,
people ate foods that were fresh and alive
with energy. People were not exposed to the
antibiotics, fast foods and processed foods
that are high in sugar and corn syrup
content which includes sugar alcohols. They
were not open to the elements of excessive
pesticides, herbicides, genetic
modifications and other toxic materials.
Most of the foods produced for consumption
today are 50 percent away from its original,
natural state.
Initially the signs will show near the sights
of the original yeast colonies. Most often the
first signs are seen in conditions such as
nasal congestion and discharge, nasal itching,
blisters in the mouth, sore or dry throat,
abdominal pain, belching, bloating, heartburn,
constipation, diarrhea, rectal burning or
itching, vaginal discharge, vaginal itching or
burning, increasingly worsening symptoms of
PMS, prostatitis, impotence, frequent
urination, burning on urination, bladder
infections. But, if the immune system remains
weak long enough, candida can spread to all
parts of the body causing an additional
plethora of problems such as fatigue,
drowsiness, uncoordination, lack of
concentration, mood swings, dizziness, bad
breath, coughing, wheezing, arthritis, failing
vision, spots in front of the eyes, ear pain,
deafness, burning or tearing eyes, muscle
aches, depression, irritability, sweet
cravings, increasing food and chemical
sensitivities, numbness and tingling, cold
hands and feet, asthma, hay fever, multiple
allergies, hives and rashes, eczema,
psoriasis, lymphatic swelling, difficult PMS,
night sweats, chest and joint pain, memory
loss, blurred vision, intense, random
headaches, intermittent vertigo, insomnia,
sneezing fits, and increased food allergies
are also fairly common. A person tends to get
extremely sensitive to damp, mildewy
environments and, sometimes, to extreme
humidity as well as perfumes, colognes, and
smoke. Since candida can infiltrate the
urinary tract, acute kidney infections,
cystitis, and prostatitis are possible,
chronic fungal infections like athlete's foot,
ringworm and fingernail/ toenail infections.
Eating foods that
are processed and very high in sugar which
includes sugar alcohols and corn syrup
content on a daily basis will feed and
encourage the Candida yeast fungi to grow in
the body. When these types of foods are
eaten on a daily basis, it creates an
excessively acidic environment in the body
causing the Candida albican yeast to produce
a substance referred to as mycotoxins.
Mycotoxins are toxins that are actually the
fecal waste of the Candida albicans. The
mycotoxins travel into the cells of the
body, the blood and lymph fluids which are
located all over the human body. When the
immune system is weakened due to the
overgrowth of Candida, it can not function
as it should which results in excessive
growth of bacteria and cancer cells.
There is a very quick
diagnostic tool to check for Candida,
called "The Spittle Test" (Don't let the
capitals fool you into respectability—it's
a little gross.) it's not easy to acquire
lab tests, etc. that will lead to a
Candida "diagnosis". The following test,
however, is pretty easy, and pretty
conclusive:
(Although this test can
be done—with success—at any different time
of the day, morning will be the most
indicative.)
First thing upon arising in the morning, (even
before clearing your mouth), spit into a glass
of water. If your spit remains floating, in a
nice, cohesive "blob", you're probably pretty
much Candida free. However, if after a moment,
your spit begins to develop long strand like
tendrils that dissolve down into the water, or
if your spit spreads out over the surface of
the water, you probably have a Candida
condition. (Taken from a previous article to
read more
click here > > > ) .
Eat your greens, fruits, nuts and seeds
from clean sources... (organic)
chlorophyll-rich foods, like leafy green
vegetables and alfalfa, also promote
acidophilus growth and discourage yeast
reproduction. Drink plenty of water throughout
the day. The key to conquering candida is in
cleaning up the digestive system, the ultimate
source of the problem. In general, one must
avoid constipation at all costs so high water
(4-5 glasses a day) and adequate fiber intake
is recommended. Drinking lots of water will
also help flush the dead yeast cells out of
your system as you progress with your
treatment. If diarrhea is a problem, psyllium
or yellow
dock herb, both available in capsule
form, will tighten the colon. These two herbs
are also effective for constipation they are
bowel regulators. Some exercise at least every
other day. Find moments of the day to practice
breathing exercises, giving you time to
reflect on what is, and what needs to be done
for you to continue a happy life. Stress, like
everything we do, is a pattern... break the
pattern, break the habit, live anew.
Take a
yeast-free multi-vitamin, vitamin
C
(1000 milligrams 4 times daily is
effective) which stimulates adrenaline and
is essential to immune processes, 100
micrograms selenium,
400 IU dry Vitamin
E (It has been noted that dry
vitamin E has a better absorption rate
than oil capsule forms of vitamin E.) and
extra beta
carotene daily. These should improve
the body's immune system. Take
lactobacilus acidophilus
and bifidobacteria
in recommended quantities to repopulate
the intestines with good bacteria.
Caprylic
acid
is a natural substance, a fatty acid,
naturally found in coconut and palm kernel
oil. Caprylic Acid supports healthy
digestion through its ability to promote a
healthy balance of intestinal flora. It is
totally lethal to candida . It is
not known to produce the
sensitivity side-effects of the nystatin
drugs.
Grape
Seed
Extract Concentrate .
Gamma-Linoleic
Acid (GLA) is an essential fatty
acid (EFA) which is often extracted from evening
primrose flowers. It is also found
in cold-pressed oils such as olive, flax,
sesame and borage
seed oils. Increasing dietary GLA
helps prevent candida from becoming
systemically invasive. GLA is also known
to have other beneficial effects on immune
regulation. Other therapeutic EFA's are
found in hemp, black current and billberry
and in trace amounts in nuts and seeds,
avocados and coconuts. One source says
that olive oil keeps yeast from converting
to a fungus.
QUERCITIN, an extract of grapfruit
seed, has also been shown to be of
particular value.
|
Candida
therapy starts with eliminating sugars from
the diet, killing the fungus with
various remedies, cleaning the intestinal walls,
rebuilding the intestinal walls and re balancing
intestinal flora. As with any disease, candida
healing also begins with an honest examination
of one's emotional, mental and spiritual health.
|
Antifungals
Following is a list of various herbs and drugs
which kill yeast/fungi.
Tea
tree
oil A remedy for many mucosal
fungal infections. The oil is used internally
for thrush and esophagus and externally for
fungal skin and nail bed infections. Tea
tree
oil and Grapefruit seed extract may be
used for the external treatment of
candida-related skin conditions by putting 2-3
drops of each in a lotion or salve and spreading
it over the affected area.
Oregano
extract is considered more potent
and less harmful than nystatin to eradicate
yeast . It is also considered to be more
powerful and less toxic in killing staph
infection.
Pau
D'arco known to have potent
antifungal properties. This substance has
immune-stimulating and anti-tumor activity. It
can be taken in many forms including teas.
Garlic
is one of the most potent antimicrobial agents.
It was used by Albert Schweitzer to treat amebic
dysentery and by Louis Pasteur as an
antibacterial. It has been shown to be effective
against all but two of 26 strains of candida
albicans. The March 1985 issue of Scientific
American reported that garlic was effective
against 200 varieties of pathogenic fungi.
Garlic is one of the richest sources of the
element germanium, a potent inducer of
interferon and effective against certain cancers
by modulating the immune response. Parsley and
fennel can be taken concomitantly to offset the
strong odor associated with its use.
Propolis is a bee-harvested tree
resin that is a strong antifungal, antibacterial
and antiviral that can be used topically and
internally.
Neem
is an bitter tonic, fever reducer, alterative,
anthelmintic and antiseptic. Neem is is 'one of
the most powerful blood-purifiers and
detoxifiers in Ayurvedic usage. It cools the
fever and clears the toxins involved in most
inflammatory skin diseases or those found in
ulcerated mucous membranes.' CAUTION: Not to be
used with severe fatigue or emaciation.
Golden
Seal is 'effective in all
digestive problems from peptic ulcers to colitis
due to its tonic effects on the mucous
membranes. It is a powerful antimicrobial
improving all mucous conditions, especially
those of the sinuses.
Echinacea
(echinacea angustifolia and
purpurea) is alterative, immune stimulating and
antiseptic. Scientific research indicates
antibiotic activity, cortisone-like activity,
promotion of wound healing, production of
systemic interferon and stimulation of T-cell
lymphocytes.
Imagine a worst case scenario when the fungi
have actually rooted into the person's
intestinal walls, from which they continue to
re-inoculate the fecal stream. It's not enough
to reseed briefly or sparsely this
'continuous-flow culture' which is living and
growing inside the gut, but one must maintain
and support the desired ecology sufficiently
long enough for the intestinal epithelial cells
to shed, slough off, turn over - so that the
fungi buried within them will be expelled. While
this is going on, the contents of the fecal
stream will continue to be reinfected in an
on-going manner; thus, antifungal therapy must
continue sufficiently long enough to guard
against relapse, in order to allow the membranes
of the GI tract to heal."

The
program to overcome candida takes time and
patience |
A complete
parasite cleanse - in order to be thorough.
Parasite killing herbs also kill candida.
Dr. Christopher has an Intestinal
Sweep formula- finally a safe and
effective cleansing system, to aid the body in
eliminating yeast.
A liver flush to open up the liver and gall
bladder ducts.
Opening them allows any parasites including
candida to be eliminated more easily. The free
flow of bile from the liver/gall bladder will
also prevent new parasite infection. Hannah
Kroeger's Wormwood
Combination, and Rascal
for parasite and liver cleansing.

Gallbladder Formula by Dr. Christopher
Black
Walnut is used to rid the body of
parasites such as tape worms and as an
anti-fungal for candida yeast, ringworm,
athlete's foot and thrush.
Parasite
Formula from Grandma's Herbs- Parasites
and worms can lead to a multitude of health
problems, from diarrhea and fatigue to many
other life-threatening diseases. Worldwide worms

|
Cleansing
Agents
Psyllium seed husks powdered and bentonite
clear waste from the GI tract.
Daily Castor oil packs help break up waste in
the intestines and liver.
MSM
is supposed to address parasites as well as
candida. Yeast also lives IN mucus and MSM is a
good mucus stripper.
|
Vitamins
& Minerals
Biotin
is a B vitamin which is essential for the
metabolism of fats and proteins. It is believed
to play some role in preventing candida from
converting into its invasive form. Some have
found that taking 300 mgs of Biotin
three times daily and two teaspoons of green
olive oil three times a day prevents the
conversion of yeast to fungal form. At least six
months are required to get a good result.
Antioxidants such as Vitamin
E, A,
balanced
B, L-Lysine and Pantothenic
acid. Vitamins
A and C
help with the infection resulting from fungal
micropunctures made into the intestinal walls.
Copper and zinc
work together. Imbalanced copper levels directly
tie to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and
candida. Copper serves as a natural antifungal.
People with candida, parasites or Epstein-Barr
virus commonly have an excess of copper and
mercury in their body.
One theory states that a deficiency of ionic
calcium (and other alkalizing minerals) is at
the root of candida and juvenile diabetes.
Acidosis ensues and degenerative disease
develops without these minerals. Years ago I
read in NW Walker books that cooking
calcium-containing foods renders the calcium
'inorganic' and this clogs up the organs, joints
and tissues. He advocates foods high in organic
sodium like celery and zucchini to help remove
the pile-up of inorganic calcium. Rich Anderson
of Arise & Shine company feels that organic
goat whey is the best source of organic sodium. |
On a Candida
healing program one needs to purify and
strengthen the blood and liver and realize
that skin and intestinal/liver conditions are
related |
Anti-inflammatory
Although all the herbs here are not specific
anti-inflammatories, they have a beneficial
effect directly or indirectly on the candida. It
becomes apparent in a candida healing program
one needs to purify and strengthen the blood and
liver and that skin and intestinal/liver
conditions are related. The herbs can be taken
orally, rectally, externally, alone or in
combination.
Cayenne
has a multitude of qualities which help relieve
gas, stimulate and tonify the system, purify the
blood, tonify tissue (astringent), relieve
spasms and kill pathogens. John Christopher,
master herbalist, says that cayenne rebuilds the
tissue in the stomach and heals stomach and
intestinal ulcers. Cayenne also stimulates the
peristaltic motion of the intestines and aids in
assimilation and elimination.
Marshmallow
root is demulcent, mucilage,
nutritive and protective. According to
Christopher, marshmallow is high is lime and
calcium and the root is high is oxygen and
pectin. It is soothing and healing to inflamed
intestinal mucous membranes. It has tremendous
power to arrest putrefactive or dying tissue.
Slippery
Elm
bark is demulcent, nutritive,
slightly astringent and tonic. The slippery elm
mucilage soothes, disperses inflammation, draw
out impurities, heals rapidly and greatly
strengthens according to Christopher. He goes on
to say that it is efficient in absorbing noxious
gases and neutralizing any acidity in the
stomach. "It's action is so gentle that it can
be retained by delicate stomachs when other
substances will be rejected."
Comfrey
leaf
and root is demulcent, cell
proliferant, astringent, nutritive, tonic,
hemostatic, alterative, vulnerary and mucilage.
The herbalist Dr Shook writes that comfrey grows
new flesh tissues, stops hemorrhage and heals
inflamed tissues remarkably.
Aloe
vera will help heal intestinal
tissue damage.
Chaparral is listed by Christopher as
alterative, tonic and astringent. It is a potent
healer to the lymph, cleanses the lower bowel
and tones peristalsis in slow muscles. Michael
Moore, in Medicinal Plants of the Desert and
Canyon West, says it "slows down the rate of
bacterial growth and kills them with its
antimicrobial activity."
Oregon
Grape is alterative, tonic,
hepatic, tonic and laxative. Christopher calls
it one of the best blood purifiers and liver
stimulants. It promotes digestion, improves
absorption, increases one's vitality and
strengthens the lymph and skin tissues.
Thyme
is
tonic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative,
nervine, vulnerary and vermicide. It is
beneficial for bowel problems and has a soothing
sedative action on the nerves. It is non-toxic
like oregano and is used to eliminate all
infection, to destroy worms and remove foul
odors.
Ginger
is
excellent for painful digestion, gas buildup,
nausea and intestinal spasms. Ginger is
contra-indicated for those who are already
hot-natured because of its warming qualities. |
Black Currant Seed Oil an
Effective Anti- Inflammatory
|
Essential fatty
acids have nothing to do with fat. Think of them
more like nutrients. They are called essential
because the body must have them and cannot make
them itself. Fatty acids perform all kinds of
vital functions in the body. They give energy , help
maintain body
temperature, cushion and protect tissues , and
insulate the nerves
. Essential fatty acids (EFA) are part of the
structure of every cell in your body and are
vital for metabolism.
They are also the precursors of the
all-important short-lived regulating molecules,
the prostaglandins. These regulators act by
blocking pain. They are needed to dilate blood vessels
, lower arterial
pressure , metabolize
cholesterol , activate
T-lymphocytes to boost immunity ,
protect against platelet
aggregation , control abnormal cell proliferation
, to name just a few vital functions.
A team of European scientists have discovered
that oil
pressed from black currant seeds holds the key
to healing relief of a variety of ailments
ranging from inflammatory
disorders to skin disorders and chronic nagging pain.
The excitement mounts because the oil represents
a breakthrough in the search for a drugless
method of soothing unpleasant symptoms such as
faulty immune function, stubborn aches and
impaired recovery powers to many common and
uncommon disorders.
Until now the only other source of GLA (after
mother's milk) was that of evening primrose
oil. Black
currant seed oil contains a more complete
range of EFA. In contrast, evening primrose
oil contains only one EFA - linoleic acid plus
gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Black
currant seed oil contains two: linoleic acid
and alpha linolenic acid plus GLA the unique
steridonic acid. New research shows that black
currant seed oil contains double the amount of
GLA as evening primrose - 17% vs. 8-9%.
Why is GLA so important? Because it is the
source of prostaglandins, the biological
regulators that: (1) Regulate
the menstrual cycle - including PMS in women. (2)
Regulate skin
problems such as dry, flaky patches.
(3) Assist in regulating the body's immune system . (4)
Control every cell and
organ in your body on a
minute-by-minute basis.
Benefits
Fatty acids are involved in many bodily
functions, such as maintaining body temperature,
insulating nerves, cushioning and protecting
tissues and creating energy. These essential
fatty acids are precursors of prostaglandins,
which must be present for functions involved
with blood vessels, maintaining arterial
pressure already within the normal range,
metabolizing dietary cholesterol, activating
T-lymphocytes, protecting against platelet
aggregation and other functions. Before the
discovery of black
currant oil, the only other known sources of GLA
were mother's milk and evening primrose oil. |
