Thousands of research papers report the presence of yeast and fungus in

cancer patients. The problem is that all refer to the development of fungal

conditions after cancer treatment has begun. Researchers contend that cancer

therapies, aimed at destroying cancer, also destroy the immune system of the

patient. At this point, left without the immunity to fight disease-causing

germs,

yeast and fungus multiply rapidly and the patients often succumb to

" secondary " fungal infections. Hence, according to cancer experts, much

attention

needs to focus on methods of controlling fungal proliferation while taking

chemotherapy.

 

What if patients with cancer already had yeast and fungal infections that

grew out of control when their immune systems were damaged by chemotherapy?

What if a lump was found that was an ascomycete (sac fungus) that appeared to

diagnosticians to be cancer? What if cancer wasn't cancer at all? I have

pondered questions like these for over 25 years.

 

According to The Home Medical Encyclopedia, in 1963 about one-half of all

Americans suffered from an " unrecognized " systemic fungal condition. My guess

would be that far more Americans suffer from fungal infections today as

antibiotics, hormone replacement therapies, and birth control pills continue to

be

consumed like candy. My point in bringing this to your attention is simple -

doctors are not accurately diagnosing medical conditions. A case in point: 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! Whereas, we do not educate today's

medical students on accurately detecting deeply imbedded fungal conditions and

differentiating these from cancer, we certainly do teach them to diagnose

cancer,

and lots of it!

 

Years ago, I published the book, The Germ That Causes Cancer. I feel that

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. When my research kept providing clues as to the real etiology (root

cause) of cancer, a chapter in a book or a newsletter just didn't seem to

suffice. The purpose of this article is neither to malign nor replace your

health

care provider's recommendations. Rather, it is to gently introduce you to a

concept that is so incredible that it almost defies logic: deep tissue fungal

growth may be commonly diagnosed as cancer.

 

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, but a fungal infection of the bone that may have

been

mimicking bone cancer. These are well documented in scientific literature.

 

As you read these articles, you will see that 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. " I have been able to

plead with doctors of advanced cancer patients to at least try antifungal drugs

for their patients. Afterwards, simply amazing reports have come forth.

Several of these have been published in The Germ That Causes Cancer.

 

Unfortunately, many researchers and physicians do not share my passion.

Getting a physician to prescribe simple antifungal drugs for a deadly disease

is

often impossible. The mentality seems to be, " if cancer were fungus, we'd

have learned that in medical school. " Couple this with what the medical

industry

refers to as " the standard of care,†and real problems evolve. That

" standard " rejects anything but chemotherapy, radiation or surgery for cancer

patients. Even if physicians wanted to try antifungal therapy for their

patients,

doing so would, perhaps, be perceived as being at odds with the " standard of

care. "

 

A few months ago, cancer specialists declared that 30 to 50 percent of

breast cancers were linked to diet and were therefore preventable. Despite this

revelation, diet is still not even remotely considered as one of the " standards

of care " for cancer patients. This is intolerable. Hundreds of cancer

survivors have documented their remarkable disease reversals which occurred

while

adhering to specific diets. Those diets seem to universally be yeast and sugar

free. And is it any wonder? You see, in 1931, Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded

the Nobel Prize in science for his discovery that cancer cells rapidly

proliferated in the presence of fermented sugar. (Ironically, so do fungal

cells!)

 

Albert Einstein once stated, " Great spirits have always encountered violent

opposition from mediocre minds. " Certainly, I would never accuse our

stethoscoped brethren of having mediocre minds; the contrary is quite true. As

stated

earlier, physicians are beholden to an industry in which the " standard of

care " is their roadmap. Cancer failures point to a " standard " which can only be

regarded as, at best, hit-and-miss, and at worse, an accomplice to such

failures. With few exceptions, doctors are good, caring, intelligent

individuals.

Surely they will not indefinitely support decades-old therapy modalities

that so frequently fail. Physicians must unite in an effort to learn why

mediocrity prevails in medicine today. If a conspiracy exists against natural

immune

building therapies and dietary cancer control in favor of cytotoxic, (cell

poisoning), life-threatening " standards of care, " physicians must expose such

abominations without fear of retaliation. Physicians must take back their

continuing medical education, (CME), which is most often created by drug

companies who can arguably and quite naturally be biased. Moreover, the FDA

must

investigate whether this should be allowable at all. Shouldn't our healers and

their watchdog organization be concerned about these clear conflicts of

interest?

 

In truth, every organization that promotes a particular philosophy has bias.

Bias isn't the problem. Instead, it's the monopoly of ideas in our health

care system with which I take issue. Physicians have medicine as their tool.

It's a valuable tool, and should be used when needed. Chiropractors and nurses

and herbalists and nutritionists and naturopaths all have tools, as well. (So

do mycologists!) But the tools of the latter practitioners are considered

suspect, while the tools of the physicians, laden with side-effects, are

considered the benchmark against which all other modalities are judged. Instead

of

relegating other treatments to the status of " alternative, " why don't we give

patients the opportunity to fully explore all possibilities, and choose any

combination that is right for their situation?

 

This year, we published a Handbook that accompanies The Germ That Causes

Cancer. It's a quick read, and may be easier to follow than the larger book.

Use

this information as a tool, not a replacement for their current cancer

therapy. If someone you know is dealing with cancer, perhaps this Handbook will

serve as a motivator and reminder that they do have options which are

well-documented, and should, therefore not be considered suspect. Their

physicians

should be involved in all aspects of cancer therapy. Of course, their family

and

friends and places of worship will also be critical tools. Hopefully, we can

be a source of support, as well. May our resources end up in the hands of

that one special person who desperately needs this information!
