Egos being what they are…
I know that I’m right on this. Fungus causes serious diseases! But I don’t know to what extent I’m right, because every time it surfaces, it just as quickly disappears. In 1899, the Paris newspaper Figaro published that Dr. Bra had surely discovered the germ of cancer and that it was “a fungus like” germ. Then, Dr Bra’s relevant discovery and Dr. Bra, disappeared….
Remember Dr. Karthaus in Germany curing 3 children’s leukemia with a trio of potent antifungal drugs, aimed at curing their “secondary yeast overgrowth” infections caused by cancer drugs? This was published in 1999, and nothing has been published on this since, nor has Dr Karthaus ever talked about it, to the best of my knowledge. I still contend that this was a Nobel Prize winning discovery…but it’s just gone.
The attitude in science seems to be, if cancer were caused by fungus, they’d have already figured it out. How then do these same scientists respond to the 2007 American Academy of Microbiology publication that stated that fungi are the cause of many outbreaks of disease, but mostly ignored? It continued by stating “many people, scientists among them, are largely unaware.” Surely they will one day become aware, but with publications such as these and millions of patients dying…why wait? What’s going on?
The answer to that question may lie in the assertions made in yet another medical paper wherein doctors at the World Health Organization (WHO) discuss the number of global cancer deaths surpassing deaths caused by heart disease by next year (2010). A quote from the December 2008 article allows the reader a glimpse of how physicians and researchers see themselves when it comes to diagnosing and treating serious diseases: “whether it is better treatment for heart disease or better cancer diagnosis is unknown.”
The word “better” appears twice in this quote. They truly believe that their brilliance and drugs are either responsible for lowering the death rate caused by heart disease, or their ability to diagnose cancer is now unsurpassed. It would never cross their minds that the reason for the “yo-yo” effect, where one decade cancer is the leading killer and the next decade heart disease becomes the leading killer, has more to do with the word “worse,” than the word “better.” Why? I don’t really know the answer, but I know K-N-O-W T-H-I-S…medicine is a two trillion dollar annual business, poised for rapid growth since its scientists are convinced that the status quo is working. For them, perhaps, but mark my words when I tell you that medicine will soon become a three trillion dollar business, and then four trillion…
In the interim, I encourage all of you to not get caught up in this nightmare. In 1997, the Medical Journal CARCINOGENESIS (Sep; 18(9):1847-50) reported that eating spinach, tomatoes, and especially carrots, decreased DNA strand breakage and oxidative damage that led to cancer. Since we now know that DNA strands are broken by fungal mycotoxins, this information becomes relevant. Of course, these foods (and many others) have antifungal properties and eating them discourages both fungal and cancer growth. Wait just a minute…you don’t suppose. No, they’d have already figured that out.
Exercise is documented as preventing a host of diseases including, but not limited to, heart disease and cancer. Why in the world do we wait to become proactive with our health until we have a disease that could have been prevented in most cases by lifestyle changes earlier in our lives? I still find it difficult to roll out of bed at 6 a.m. and jog, but I’d find it much more difficult to hear those three words, “you have cancer” and then rely on the one who spoke the words to be pivotal in my recovery.
You, my good friends, are much more in control of future diseases than you’ll ever know and science documents it. Some of us throw caution to the wind and wait to hear a doctor deliver the bad news. Others, myself included, hope to have chosen a lifestyle that prevents the delivery of bad news. Until next month, stay proactive with your health.
