CANDIDA
and
the ANTIBIOTIC SYNDROMEBy Walter Last
Lack
of energy and digestive disturbances, arthritic joint pains, skin
disease, menstrual problems, emotional instability and depression.
All symptoms of what I call the 'antibiotic syndrome' which have
greatly increased in frequency in recent years.
On
further examination, more symptoms may be discovered. Most of the
gastro-intestinal tract is tender when pressed, especially the small
intestine, liver and gall bladder. There may even have been a gall
bladder operation that failed to improve the condition, sometimes
even worsening the symptoms.
There
could be a history of thrush or oral, anal or vaginal itching. When
these are present the diagnosis of Candida is obvious but it may also
be present in the absence of these manifestations and that can be
somewhat confusing. The yeast or fungus Candida albicans, of course,
thrives during antibiotic treatment. I regard it as reckless
negligence to prescribe antibiotics without simultaneous fungicides
and replacement therapy with lactobacilli afterwards. I believe that
this practice has greatly added to our vast pool of a chronically
sick population.
However,
the 'antibiotic syndrome' is not just due to Candida. I regard it
more generally as a 'dysbiosis' where the wrong kind of microbes
inhabit the intestinal tract, not just Candida and other fungi, but
many types of pathogenic bacteria including coli bacteria which are
normal in the colon but become disease-forming when they ascend into
the small intestine.
If
the problem has existed for years, there is usually a lack of gastric
acid which then allows the stomach to be colonised by microbes,
causing inflammation with pain and later, ulcers. The toxins released
by the microbial overpopulation cause in addition chronic
inflammation of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas and intestines. I
regard it as rather likely that a chronic inflammation of the
pancreas is a major contributing factor in the development of
insulin-dependent diabetes.
Bacterial
Attack
Specific
types of pathogenic bacteria appear to cause or contribute to
specific autoimmune diseases. One variety of coli bacteria, for
instance, produces a molecule that is very similar to insulin. When
the immune system becomes activated against this molecule it may then
also attack related features at the beta cells of the pancreas
Another
type of bacteria, Yersinia enterocolitica, induces an immune response
that attacks the thyroid gland and leads to Grave's disease with a
serious overproduction of thyroid hormones.
Ulcerative
colitis is linked to overgrowth with pathogenic microbes, the same as
Crohn's disease, osteoporosis and ankylosing spondylitis. In
ankylosing spondylitis the vertebra of the spine fuse together
causing stiffness and pain. Other joints may in time become affected.
Klebsiella,
another type of pathogenic bacteria, produces a molecule that is
similar to a tissue type found in people with this disease. When
Klebsiella numbers in the gut decrease, related antibodies in the
blood decrease and the condition improves.
Rheumatoid
arthritis is linked to other bacteria, called Proteus. Proteus is
also a common cause of urinary tract infections. Women suffer urinary
tract infections as well as rheumatoid arthritis twice as often as
men, while men usually have higher levels of Klebsiella and three
times more ankylosing spondylitis than women.
In
addition microbial overgrowth dam ages the intestinal wall so that
only partly digested food particles can pass into the bloodstream,
causing allergies. In this way all autoimmune diseases can be linked
to food allergies.
While
rheumatoid arthritis is a frequent feature of the antibiotic
syndrome, and I regard it as relatively easy to cure, not many
sufferers of this disease seem to be interested in this natural
approach. The other day a young man with severe rheumatoid arthritis
knocked at my door to collect money for a medically sponsored
walkathon. When I told him that I do not give money for drug
treatment as it can be overcome with natural therapies, he shouted:
'You are mad!' and left visibly upset.
Other
autoimmune diseases that have so far been linked to dysbiosis are
psoriasis, lupus erythematosus and pancreatitis. When remedies are
given that bind bacterial endotoxins, these conditions usually
improve. A further consequence of dysbiosis is susceptibility to food
poisoning as with salmonella bacteria, while a healthy intestinal
flora prevents these from multiplying and causing trouble.
Staphylococcus
aureus or golden staph cause serious infections in hospital patients.
It has been found that not only golden staph but also other
infections are greatly potentized when they occur with a Candida
overgrowth. As Candida overgrowth is a natural outcome of the
standard hospital treatment, it is easy to see why golden staph is so
deadly in hospitals.
A
similar picture emerges with AIDS. People do not die from the AIDS
virus but from Candida-potentized bacterial infections. I also see
the antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in babies and infants as the main
cause of their frequent infections, glue ear and greatly contributing
to cot death.
While
it used to be uncommon for children to have more than one or two
infections a year, now more than six is the norm.
In
the 1940's Candida was found in only three per cent of autopsies, now
the figure is nearer thirty per cent. There are, of course, other
factors that can cause dysbiosis - the contraceptive pill, steroids
and other drugs, radiation treatment and chemotherapy - but the main
culprits are, without doubt, antibiotics.
Closely
related to Candida are the mycoplasms or pleomorphic organisms. These
have been shown to be a main factor in the causation of cancer.
Therefore, antifungal therapy has also major benefits in cancer
treatment.
Dr
Orian Truss
In
1953 Dr Orian Truss discovered the devastating effects of antibiotics
in an Alabama (USA) hospital. During a hospital round Truss was
intrigued by a gaunt, apparently elderly man who was obviously dying.
However, he was only in his forties and in hospital for four months.
No specialist had been able to make a diagnosis. Out of curiosity
Truss asked the patient when be was last completely well.
The
man answered that he was well until six months before when he had cut
his finger He had received antibiotics for this. Shortly afterwards
he developed diarrhoea and his health deteriorated. Truss had seen
before how antibiotics cause diarrhoea. It was known that Candida was
opportunistic and thrived in debilitated patients, but now Truss
wondered if it might not be the other way round, that Candida
actually caused the debilitated condition.
He
had read that potassium iodide solution could be used to treat
Candida infestation of the blood. So he put the patient on six to
eight drops of Lugol's solution four times a day and soon the patient
was again completely well.
Soon
afterwards he had a female patient with a stuffy nose, a throbbing
headache, vaginitis and severe depression. To his amazement all her
problems immediately cleared with Candida treatment. Some time later
he saw a female patient who had been schizophrenic for six years with
hundreds of electroshock treatments and massive drug dosages. He
started treating the woman for sinus allergies with a Candida
vaccine. Soon she had recovered mentally and physically, and remained
well.
From
then on he treated his patients against Candida at the slightest
indication of its presence. Many of his patients made remarkable
recoveries from most unusual conditions including menstrual problems,
hyperactivity, learning disabilities, autism, multiple sclerosis and
auto-immune diseases such as Crohn's disease and lupus erythematosus.
Every
experienced naturopath can relate similar success stories.
Ironically, antibiotics are usually not necessary in the first place.
In a few per cent of the cases in which they are necessary their
serious after effects could easily be avoided using fungicides and
lactobacilli.
Many
people doubt the effectiveness of natural therapies against
apparently serious infections, but my experience leads me to believe
that frequently natural therapies are more effective, without causing
the repeated and chronic infections seen after antibiotics. I have
seen patients who have been unsuccessful on long-term antibiotic
treatment recover within days or weeks with natural therapies.
The
Spit Test
A
simple Saliva Test for Candida is as follows:
Immediately
after rising before you eat or drink anything fill a clear glass with
water at room temperature. Spit some saliva into the glass of water.
Then check from time to time for up to an hour to see what happens.
If Candida is present, you will see one of three things, or a
combination of these.
1.
There may be strings like legs extending down into the water from
the saliva floating on top
2.
Cloudy saliva will accumulate at the bottom of the glass
3.
Cloudy bits will remain suspended in the water.
The
quicker and stronger the strings grow and the sooner the saliva
sinks, the more Candida is in the sample. If there are no strings and
the saliva is still floating after one hour, you probably do not have
systemic Candida but may still have a localized problem in the
intestines, the skin or the vagina, and you may still have dysbiosis
and infestations of other pathogenic microbes.
Even
after systemic Candidiasis has been eliminated the spit test may
still remain positive because of fungi living within the mucous
membranes of the mouth which may then regrow in the night. This may
be eliminated by repeatedly swishing MMS for several minutes in the
mouth before swallowing it. Alternatively you may try swishing
Lugol's before swallowing, or diluted hydrogen peroxide or diluted
sodium bicarbonate, the last two best before going to bed.
Curing
the 'Antibiotic Syndrome'
The
main treatment for the 'antibiotic syndrome' is sanitation of the
gastro-intestinal tract combined with a low-allergy diet. In this way
most acute problems can be overcome within weeks while degenerated
joints or organs can start a slower road to recovery.
One
unpleasant side-effect of most methods used to reduce the pathogenic
microbial overgrowth of the intestines is the Herxheimer reaction - a
sudden worsening of symptoms due to toxins released by the dead or
dying microbes. This is sometimes used as a diagnostic tool,
especially for Candida.
I
recommend flushes combined with anti-microbial remedies to avoid or
minimise unpleasant side effects. An Epsom salt or magnesium chloride
flush may contain one tablespoon of magnesium salt, more or less
according to need, in a large glass of water and is useful in cases
of constipation and with raised blood pressure. Refrigerate the water
to make it taste less bitter.
Add
a crushed clove of garlic to the flush to reduce the microbial
overgrowth. If garlic cannot be used then several drops of Lugol’s
solution or a teaspoon of bicarbonate, or up to two teaspoons of
three per cent hydrogen peroxide may be added instead. You can take
another glass of water after the magnesium salt to wash down the
bitter aftertaste.
The
flush will carry most of the dead microbes and their toxins out of
the body and minimise any unpleasant reactions. However, if the flush
should not be sufficient to produce a strong bowel movement within
two to three hours and you start feeling unwell, then another
spoonful of magnesium salt may be taken. If overweight and with
constipation you may take already 2 tablespoons to start with.
Other
laxatives that may be used for a flush are Glauber Salz or sodium
sulphate (sulfate), castor oil or senna. You may need to experiment
with your chosen laxative to find the right amount to take with the
garlic so that it is effective within a few hours.
Psyllium
is excellent and most recommend for long-term use. If you are not
overweight or constipated you may start cleansing this way instead of
using magnesium salt. Psyllium is especially effective for removing
endotoxins from the intestines and reducing allergic and autoimmune
reactions.
In
a large glass of water add a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate and a
heaped teaspoon of psyllium hulls, stir and drink immediately
followed by another glass of water. Until you start with the systemic
antimicrobial therapy add chopped garlic or another antimicrobial to
the psyllium drink but continue adding a teaspoon of sodium
bicarbonate as long as there are signs of pain, inflammation, Candida
or overacidity. If you suspect intestinal parasites also add MMS or
Lugol’s solution or wormwood or essential oils to the psyllium.
With
Candida overgrowth any sexual partner should also use antimicrobial
therapy. Most effective for vaginal thrush is inserting a capsule
filled with borax at bedtime for up to two weeks. Some individuals
are highly sensitive and with multiple allergies. In this case it may
be necessary to proceed very slowly, remain on a stable low-allergy
diet, use anti-inflammatory measures, such as slippery elm powder
before meals and ginger with meals, and introduce probiotics, lactic
acid fermented food and anti-microbials only very gradually.
For
sensitive individuals it is most helpful to alkalize the body. Sodium
bicarbonate is a strong fungicide and potassium bicarbonate is even
stronger. Half to one teaspoon of bicarbonate in a glass of water
taken on an empty stomach or 2-3 hours after meals can be used
several times daily to sanitize the intestinal tract and alkalize the
lymphatic system.
Acidophilus
& Bifido
This
leads us to the next step: replacing the decimated pathogenic
microbes with desirable lactobacilli. This must be done in a massive
dose 30-60 minutes after each flush; otherwise the unwanted microbes
may grow back to full strength after the next meal. Acidophilus
culture is used to repopulate the freed-up spaces at the walls of the
small intestines, while bifido bacteria are the protective
inhabitants of the colon or large intestines.
There
are several possibilities. These bacterial cultures are available
from health food shops as powders in brown glass bottles that should
be refrigerated before and after sale. You may buy a mixed culture
and take two teaspoons in water or vegetable juice or one teaspoon
each of the separate cultures. If you suspect cows' milk allergy,
which is rather frequent in this condition, then use milk-free
cultures. Alternatively, you may take several high-potency capsules.
High-potency cultures should contain 10 Billion (or more) live
bacteria per gram or per capsule.
Coconut
Oil
The
medium-chain saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are potent
antimicrobial agents, effective against fungi, viruses and many
bacteria. The most effective fatty acids are caprylic acid (with 8
carbon atoms), capric acid (10 carbon atoms) and lauric acid (12
carbon). They appear to work by causing microbial cell walls to
disintegrate.
Coconut
oil appears to be effective within days. With Candida take initially
4 tablespoons of coconut oil spread out during the day, and after
improvement you may reduce this to 2 tablespoons for several more
weeks. This seems to be effective against systemic as well as
localised infestations, including those of the genitals. However, it
is advisable to apply coconut oil topically as well.
The
best commercial product is cold-pressed or virgin coconut oil.
However, this has been heat-stabilised to destroy lipase. Therefore,
my preference is self-made raw coconut cream or milk: press coconut
pieces through a low-speed juicer, or alternatively blend with water,
strain and refrigerate.
For
topical applications and for those with fat malabsorption the
lipase-rich coconut milk can be expected to be much more effective
than heated coconut oil with only a very low concentration of free
fatty acids. Alternatively, you may use lipase supplements with
coconut oil.
Lugol's
Solution
Iodine
is one of the best remedy to eliminate systemic yeast infections. It
is commonly used as Lugol's solution with 10% of potassium iodide and
5% iodine, which is the same as 10 grams of potassium iodide and 5
grams of elemental iodine per 100 ml. Each drop contains about 6.5 mg
of iodine/iodide. While it contains 10% of total iodine as elemental
iodine and iodide, commonly it is called a 5% iodine solution. Other
names for Lugol’s solution are Aqueous Iodine Oral Solution BP or
Strong Iodine Solution USP (both of which contain 130 mg iodine
/iodide per ml). Iodine Topical Solution (USP) contains 2% iodine and
2.4% potassium iodide.
Presently
5% Lugol's solution, and all iodine solutions containing more than
2.2% elemental iodine are no longer available in the US as they may
be used in the illicit production of methamphetamine. However, up to
one fluid ounce (30 ml) of Lugol's solution is exempt from this
regulation. Standard Lugol's solution is still available in Canada
and Mexico, it is very difficult to obtain in the EU, and under
strong attack in Australia.
If
you buy 2% iodine solution take 2.5 times more than the amount
recommended for the standard 5% Lugol’s solution. In the US you may
also buy Iodoral tablets, each standard tablet with the equivalent of
2 drops of 5% Lugo’s solution. I do not recommend pharmaceutical
types of iodine dissolved in alcohol or other solvents as they often
cause side-effects. Always read the label and compare the iodine
content with the iodine in regular Lugol’s solution.
To
test for a reaction in case of an overactive thyroid or use of
stimulant drugs take a drop of iodine in liquid other than just
water. If there is no reaction, gradually increase to taking 10 drops
3 times daily in liquid or mixed with food. Do not take the iodine
directly with antioxidants but it is fine to have antioxidants five
or more minutes later during a meal. You may use more or less iodine
according to body weight. I believe that a 3-week course adjusted for
body weight is generally safe for children. However, it may not be
suitable if the thyroid is overactive or with goitre; with these
conditions the amount of iodine may need to be increased very slowly.
Also see Iodine: Bring
Back the Universal Nutrient Medicine.
Other
Remedies
Follow
up the Lugol's iodine treatment with MMS and other fungicides as
explained in The
Ultimate Cleanse. You can obtain Lugol’s solution and MMS from
www.strideintohealth.com. Bicarbonate solution is very effective in
direct contact such as for rinsing out the mouth, sinuses or vagina
or as packs over sites of fungal infection and tumours.
Some
other antifungal remedies are pau d'arco, propolis, wormwood, borax,
kerosene, gum turpentine, and the oils of tea-tree, neem tree,
cinnamon, eucalyptus, mustard, oregana and thyme. Pau d’arco, also
called taheebo or lapacho, has the advantage of tasting reasonably
pleasant. Wormwood may be used if you want to eliminate fungi and
parasites at the same time, for details see The Ultimate Cleanse.
Many
with Candidiasis have benefited from using inulin, a non-digestible
polysaccharide, which helps to feed the beneficial intestinal
bacteria, especially in the colon. It is present in Jerusalem
artichokes, chicory roots and dandelion roots, and may be sold as a
white powder, see
http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/inulin_prebiotic_probiotic.html.
In
addition you may use a Beck-type blood purifier or zapper to
eliminate Candida and other fungi and infectious agents from the
blood, for details see the article Electronic
Zapper & Magnetic Pulser. Furthermore, the magnetic pulser
may help to sanitise pockets of Candida infestations inside the
mouth, vagina or underneath affected skin areas.
Some
individuals have found urine therapy effective against Candida,
parasites, intestinal inflammations and Leaky Gut Syndrome; for
details see Urine
& Urea Therapy.
Don't
let the antibiotic syndrome creep up on you. Always try natural
alternatives in preference to antibiotics, but when they are
absolutely necessary, supplement your treatment with a fungicide and
probiotics.

diseases, intestinal inflammatory diseases and “Leaky Guts
Syndrome” see OVERCOMING

ARE
MOST DISEASES CAUSED BY THE MEDICAL SYSTEM?
I
do not want to pretend that this is an impartial investigation.
Instead I am now fully convinced that most diseases are indeed caused
by the medical system, and in the following I want to state my
reasons for this conclusion.
Increasingly
over the years my health beliefs have been turned around. I started
out by working as a biochemist and toxicologist in university medical
departments fully believing that all these chronic and incurable
diseases are indeed incurable and generally of unknown origin, but
that pharmaceutical drugs made life easier for patients and often
were even curative. My re-education started after immigrating to New
Zealand and learning about natural healing and living; this made me
realize that disease is mainly caused by unnatural living conditions
and can be overcome by natural methods of living and healing.
While
I learned about the harmful nature of drug treatment, I was still
thinking of it as being ineffective and causing side-effects rather
than as a main cause of our diseases. Diseases caused by medical
treatment are called iatrogenic diseases. The total number of
iatrogenic deaths in the USA for 2001 is estimated to be 783,936.
These were due to fatal drug reactions, medical error and unnecessary
medical and surgical procedures. With this, the medical system is the
leading cause of death and injury in the United States. In comparison
the 2001 heart disease death rate was 699,697 and the annual cancer
death rate 553,251 (1).
This
is also the reason why it is so beneficial for patients when doctors
go on strike. Statistics show that whenever there was a strike by
doctors, the death rate in the affected population fell dramatically.
In 1976 the death rate fell by 35 per cent in Bogotá, Colombia. In
Los Angeles County, California, it fell by 18 per cent during a
strike in the same year, while in Israel it fell by 50 per cent
during a strike in 1973. Only once before was there a similar drop in
the death rate in Israel and that was during another doctors' strike
20 years earlier. After each strike the death rate jumped again to
its normal level (2).
However
these figures of iatrogenic deaths do not take into account
iatrogenic diseases from the long-term harm done by medical
treatments where patients survive but with a chronic disease. My real
awakening to this problem started when I became aware of the story of
Orion Truss who discovered the Candidiasis-causing potential of
antibiotics.
Dr
Orian Truss
In
1953 Dr
Orian Truss
discovered the devastating effects of antibiotics in an Alabama (USA)
hospital (3).
During a ward round Truss was intrigued by a gaunt, apparently
elderly man who was obviously dying. However, he was only in his
forties and in hospital for four months. No specialist had been able
to make a diagnosis. Out of curiosity Truss asked the patient when be
was last completely well.
The
man answered that he was well until six months before when he had cut
his finger. He had received antibiotics for this. Shortly afterwards
he developed diarrhoea and his health deteriorated. Truss had seen
before how antibiotics cause diarrhoea. It was known that Candida was
opportunistic and thrived in debilitated patients, but now Truss
wondered if it might not be the other way round, that Candida
actually caused the debilitated condition.
He
had read that potassium iodide solution could be used to treat
Candida infestation of the blood. So he put the patient on six to
eight drops of Lugol's solution four times a day for 3 weeks and soon
the patient was again completely well.
Soon
afterwards he had a female patient with a stuffy nose, a throbbing
headache, vaginitis and severe depression. To his amazement all her
problems immediately cleared with Candida treatment. Some time later
he saw a female patient who had been schizophrenic for six years with
hundreds of electroshock treatments and massive drug dosages. He
started treating the woman for sinus allergies with a Candida remedy.
Soon she had recovered mentally and physically, and remained well.
From
then on he treated his patients against Candida at the slightest
indication of its presence. Many of his patients made remarkable
recoveries from most unusual conditions, including menstrual
problems, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, autism,
schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis and auto-immune diseases such as
Crohn's disease and lupus erythematosus.
Every
experienced naturopath can relate similar success stories. Also some
alternative medical practitioners have realized the curative
potential of anti-Candida therapy, as for instance Dr William Crook
who wrote several books about the successful treatment of allergies
and hyperactive children (4).
The
Antibiotic Syndrome
Candidiasis
is not the only side-effect of antibiotic treatment, and antibiotics
are not the only drugs that cause such problems. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, anti-inflammatory steroidal drugs and other long-term
drug therapies tend to kill or suppress the natural intestinal
bacteria, and yeast, parasites and harmful bacteria start taking
over. This is then called dysbiosis. Most patients receive such drugs
in hospitals and can be expected to develop systemic Candida
overgrowth as a result.
Our
natural intestinal flora, mainly based on lactobacteria, not only
helps to digest and absorb food, it also protects us against ingested
harmful bacteria that otherwise may cause food poisoning. With a
healthy intestinal flora millions of salmonella bacteria may be
needed to cause an infection but with dysbiosis only tens of
salmonella would be required.
With
chronic dysbiosis the intestinal wall becomes inflamed, causing
ulcers, appendicitis, malabsorption and Crohn’s disease, and as the
intestinal membrane erodes we develop multiple food allergies,
arthritis and autoimmune diseases. In addition to Candida also other
pathogens and parasites now invade the bloodstream and various
organs. With live cell analysis natural therapists can see and show
their patients the fungi in their blood. This invasion greatly
weakens the immune system so that people now become susceptible to
frequent or chronic infections. Commonly this is then treated with
more antibiotics, which continues to intensify the symptoms.
Actually,
the problem is not with the antibiotics. You can take a course if you
feel it is needed, provided that you take a fungicide, such as fresh
garlic, at the same time, and have some probiotics after the
antibiotic and before you ingest any carbohydrates. This will prevent
most diseases that are caused by the careless medical method of using
antibiotics. For more details see Candida
and the Antibiotic Syndrome.
Autoimmune
Diseases and Asthma
Autoimmune
diseases, including psoriasis, lupus erythematosus and pancreatitis,
have been linked to dysbiosis. When remedies are given that bind
bacterial endotoxins, these conditions usually improve. In addition
autoimmune diseases have been shown to be linked to mycoplasmas or
nanobacteria which start to develop from diseased red blood cells in
the presence of toxic chemicals and systemic Candida. The weaker our
immune system becomes, the more these mycoplasms start to develop
into bacterial and finally fungal forms. They have been found in all
autoimmune diseases, cancers and AIDS (5).
Antibiotics
are also a major contributing cause of asthma. Children who received
broad-spectrum antibiotics were about 9 times more likely to suffer
from asthma (6).
A recent research paper confirmed dysbiosis as a main cause of asthma
(7)
In
the 1980’s New Zealand had the highest rate of asthma deaths in the
world. This was drastically reduced when in 1991 the inhaler drug
Fenoterol was banned as it caused a 13 times higher risk of dying
(8).
This reduction in the asthma death rate was generally hailed as a
great triumph for medical science. Other studies revealed that
asthmatics using more than one bronchodilator inhaler a month had a
fifty-fold increased risk of suffering a fatal asthma attack.
In
addition to asthma, I also see the combination of pasteurized cow’s
milk with antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in babies and infants as the
main cause of their frequent infections, glue ear and greatly
contributing to cot or crib death. Because health authorities insist
on pasteurizing milk, and doctors prescribe antibiotics without the
most basic precautions, I regard asthma and most childhood infections
as predominantly iatrogenic diseases.
In
the ‘good old days’ people ingested a lot of lactic acid
fermented foods and raw milk products that replenished our ‘good’
bacteria, and because antibiotics had not been invented, dysbiosis
and therefore chronic diseases were rare. Instead people mainly died
from acute infections due to unhygienic living conditions, and in the
slums also from malnutrition.
Staphylococcus
aureus or golden staph causes serious infections in hospital
patients. It has been found that not only golden staph but also other
infections are greatly potentized when they occur combined with
Candida overgrowth. As Candida overgrowth is a natural outcome of the
standard hospital treatment, it is easy to see why golden staph is so
deadly in hospitals.
A
similar picture emerges with AIDS. People do not die from the AIDS
virus but from Candida or fungal-potentized bacterial and mycoplasma
infections. The end stage of AIDS is the same as the end stage of
cancer. It is called cachexia, a wasting condition mainly caused by
fungal overgrowth. Lugol’s iodine solution and other systemic
fungicides should do wonders for it. Presently also MMS, a 28%
solution of sodium chlorite, is gaining acceptance as an effective
antimicrobial remedy (see http://miraclemineral.org).
All
of this shows that antibiotic-induced dysbiosis and Candida are not
isolated and relatively harmless problems as the medical profession
prefers to believe, but rather the underlying cause of most of our
modern diseases.
Cancer
and Leukemia
One
hundred years ago the rate of cancer was very low. I have no doubt
that the phenomenal increase in the use of agricultural and
industrial chemicals as well as pharmaceutical drugs has greatly
accelerated the increase in the rate of cancer, and there is also a
link to the consumption of sugar. Even stronger is the link to
dysbiosis and Candida.
Chemotherapy
commonly leads to systemic Candida infections, which greatly limit
the success rate of the treatment. Long-term follow-up studies show
that children develop 18 times more secondary malignant tumors later
in life, girls face a 75 times higher risk of breast cancer by the
time they are 40 (9),
while the risk of developing leukemia after chemotherapy for ovarian
cancer increased 21-fold. Also other tumors commonly develop after
treating malignancies with chemotherapy (10).
A main problem appears to be the development of deep or systemic
Candida infections shortly after starting chemotherapy (11).
Only
recently have oncologists started to acknowledge what patients called
“chemo-brain”, a distressing loss of memory and other cognitive
functions. Psychiatrists have now found that the conventional
treatment of cancer causes serious depression in 15 to 25 percent of
patients. "The depression itself can often be worse than the
disease" they say (12).
Brain fog and depression are common with systemic Candida.
All
of this shows that chemotherapy tends to cause leukemia and cancer
many years later mainly as a result of dysbiosis and systemic
Candida. The reason for the widespread use of chemotherapy despite
its lack of effectiveness, severe side effects, and long-term cancer
promotion can be seen in the fact that private-practice oncologists
(in the US) typically derive two-thirds of their income from selling
chemotherapy to patients (13).
This
chemotherapy connection makes it very likely that dysbiosis and
systemic Candida can also cause cancer and leukemia when they are
caused as a result of antibiotic treatment. The rate of cancer really
accelerated only after the use of antibiotics became widespread.
There
is also more direct evidence that Candida and other fungi are a cause
of leukemia. Meinolf Karthaus, MD, reported several children with
leukemia going into remission upon receiving antifungal remedies for
their ‘secondary’ fungal infections (14).
In his lifetime work Milton White, MD, was able to find fungal spores
in every sample of cancer tissue he studied (15).
Fungal
infections have been diagnosed and treated as leukemia, and leukemia
has disappeared on grain-free diets, presumably because of the high
content of mycotoxins in grains (16).
The
Italian oncologist Dr.
Tullio Simincini
claims a success rate of up to 90% by treating cancer as a fungus. He
infuses tumors with sodium bicarbonate solution and recommends taking
bicarbonate in water to get rid of gastro-intestinal tumors (17).
Recently
I received a personal communication that a large stomach tumor had
unexpectantly shrunk after swallowing some mouthwash for a few weeks
for a different problem. The main ingredient of this mouthwash was
benzoic acid, a strong fungicide that inhibits the metabolism of
fungal cells. Cancer cells have the same fungal-type metabolism which
thrives on high levels of glucose and insulin, and they may therefore
be regarded as a kind of fungal cells.
While
the work of the German Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer
(18)
shows that emotional shock is a major trigger for the development of
cancer, a weak immune system as caused by intestinal dysbiosis,
systemic Candidiasis, toxic chemicals, and root canal treatments
appears to be an essential co-factor. After all, a century ago people
must have had a similar number of emotional shocks as at present, but
cancer was very rare. Conversely, there are lots of people with
dysbiosis and root canals that do not have cancer, but add emotional
shock, and voilà!
Root
Canals
Root-canal
filled teeth are a variation of the theme of intestinal dysbiosis.
They, too, appear to be a major contributing factor in many health
problems, not only cancer but also heart disease, arthritis, kidney
disease and auto-immune diseases. This is due to microbes that
multiply in the multitude of tiny canals or tubules in the dentine
and gradually leach out into the lymph system. Even normally harmless
microbes become very dangerous and more virulent and toxic under the
anaerobic conditions in dead teeth.
Dr
Weston Price
(19),
a former Director of Research for the American Dental Association,
observed that the removal of root-filled teeth from patients with
kidney or heart disease would in most cases lead to an improvement.
When he then inserted a removed root-filled tooth under the skin of a
rabbit it would die within 2 days. When he implanted normal teeth
there was no adverse health effect. In some experiments he implanted
the same fragments of root-filled teeth in succession under the skins
of up to 100 rabbits and they all died within 2 weeks of the same
disease that the human donor had!
Dr
Price conducted about 5,000 experiments over 25 years. He did not
find a reliable method to disinfect dead teeth and make them safe.
His research has been suppressed, and if at all mentioned by our
dental associations then they are described as “dated” because
this research was conducted and published over 70 years ago but it
has never been repeated or otherwise investigated, or root canals
shown to be safe.
The
main argument for their supposed safety is that millions of people
have them and are still alive many years later. The question of root
canals causing widespread degenerative diseases is not discussed or
researched. Price found that about 30% of individuals have such a
strong immune system that they do not develop problems from root
canals until they become old but the remaining 70% develop problems
much sooner.
I
regard root canals, even more so then intestinal dysbiosis, as a
major cause of autoimmune diseases. In 1993 George E. Meinig,
DDS, a former US root canal specialist, re-published the dental
research of Dr Price in a popular version, and included his own
experiences (20).
Iatrogenic
Heart Attacks
One
hundred years ago heart attacks were almost unknown despite diets
generally being high in saturated fats. The ascent of heart attacks
began with the pasteurization of milk and the use of chlorine to kill
bacteria in public water supplies. This began around 1900 and was
generally accepted in Western countries in the l920's. From 1920
onwards the explosive increase in the incidence of cardiovascular
disease and fatal heart attacks began, but only in countries that
chlorinated their water supplies. These diseases remained unknown,
for instance, in Africa, China, Japan, and other parts of ASIA.
However, when Japanese citizens immigrated to Hawaii where water was
chlorinated, they suffered the same rate of heart attacks as the
Americans, and the black population in the US have the average US
rate of heart attacks but not their brothers in Africa. Inhabitants
of the non-chlorinated Roseto in Pennsylvania remained free of heart
attacks unless they moved to a chlorinated area (21).
Some
of the chlorine reacts with organic impurities in water to form
organochlorins (DDT is an Organo-chlorine) while the rest remains as
residual free chlorine in the water. It may then react either with
food chemicals or with parts of our digestive tract. In 1967 a Dr J.
Price in the US performed a decisive experiment. With one group of 50
three-month-old chickens (cockerels) he added one third of a teaspoon
of chlorine bleach to about one litre of water whilst another group
of 50 chickens served as controls. Seven months later over 95 per
cent of the chlorinated group had advanced atherosclerosis, yet none
of the control group showed any such evidence.
In
the following years Dr Price repeated his experiment many times,
always with the same results, and more recently even researchers
funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency have confirmed
atherosclerotic type changes in other animals, including monkeys,
when exposed to chlorinated water (22).
Drugs
and Chemicals
Basically
all drugs are more or less toxic, the more so, the more ‘powerful’
they are. Natural remedies cannot be patented, therefore in order to
maximize profits the pharmaceutical industry routinely makes and
sells synthetic versions of effective natural remedies. Synthetic
substances are usually more difficult to detoxify than natural
remedies and tend to create more problems the longer they are taken.
Often they become highly addictive and after some time may cause the
symptoms that they originally alleviated. This, however, is rarely
acknowledged by drug companies or medical practitioners, instead when
a problem arises simply alternative or additional drugs are
prescribed.
A
main problem is that drugs are tested individually for relatively
short periods, but are then prescribed as drug cocktails for very
long periods. Drugs have not been tested under these conditions, and
therefore all drug use, except as individual drugs for short periods,
is unscientific and unsafe. As a result of this, there are countless
dangerous and fatal drug interactions and side-effects as reported in
numerous books, articles and statistics.
It
is similar with the thousands of synthetic chemicals and heavy metals
that are allowed by health authorities to contaminate our living
space. These are even less tested than drugs but also react with each
other and with drugs in a brew that is impossible to disentangle.
I
want to mention just one instance of such a combination. The
herbicide paraquat and the fungicide maneb are widely used in farming
and may remain present as crop residues. Each on its own did not
cause a problem but if rats and mice were exposed to both together,
even at very low rates, they developed symptoms of Parkinson’s
disease. The leader of the research team said: "No one has
looked at the effects of studying together some of these compounds
that, taken by themselves, have little effect. This has enormous
implications," and "it's a huge problem to start thinking
about a nearly infinite array of mixtures of chemicals, instead of
the risk that a single chemical might pose" (23).
We
have similar problems with fluoride and chlorine as well as mercury,
aluminium, nickel and other heavy and toxic metals being deliberately
put into vaccines and used in dentistry. For a detailed documentation
of the problems associated with heavy metals and endocrine disrupting
chemicals see Bernard Windham (24).
Sunlight
Health
authorities and medical associations have campaigned strongly to
avoid sun exposure of the skin. Presumably this causes skin cancer,
including melanoma that can kill. However, the vast majority is
normal skin cancer that almost never kills, and there is widespread
doubt that melanomas are really caused by normal sun exposure,
although there seems to be a link with sunburn. Generally outdoor
workers with the most sun exposure had the lowest rates of skin
cancer and melanoma, while melanomas often show up in office workers.
Melanoma often occurs on areas of the skin that had not been exposed
to sunlight. Other studies show a strong link between long-term
exposure to fluorescent lighting and melanoma (25).
With the present campaign to replace all incandescent light bulbs
with fluorescent ones, I expect a melanoma epidemic in ten to twenty
years (26).
Now
more and more research papers show that a vast number of diseases,
and especially cancer, could be avoided by greatly increasing our
levels of vitamin D with suitable foods, supplements, and frequent or
daily short sun exposure of the skin. Sunlight is our main source of
vitamin D. Research shows that there is a strong negative correlation
between available sunlight and breast cancer death rates - living in
a sunny area is associated with lower cancer rates. Even skin cancer
is inhibited by regular low-level sun exposure; only sunburn is a
strong skin cancer promoter. It has now been calculated that with
these measures worldwide about 600,000 cases of colon and breast
cancer could be prevented (27).
Furthermore,
the researchers pointed out that by increasing levels of vitamin D3
by regular sun exposure and other measures we could prevent diseases
that claim nearly 1 million lives throughout the world each year (28,
29).
The
irony of all this is that the present skin cancer epidemic has, in my
opinion, been manufactured by our health authorities and medical
experts. There are three conditions that make us susceptible to
develop skin cancers with high sun exposure. These are overacidity, a
high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, and a lack of
antioxidants. The most common cause of overacidity is Candida
overgrowth, especially in combination with the officially recommended
diet high in cereals. Our omega-6 to omega-3 ratio was always
somewhat too high but it went off the chart when our health
authorities recommended replacing saturated fats with seed oils high
in omega-6 fatty acids. This increased inflammatory conditions of all
kinds, including tumors and skin cancers. To make matters worse,
health authorities also discourage and legally minimize the use of
antioxidant nutrients.
With
these measures health authorities created the conditions for an
epidemic of skin cancers. Then they tried to prevent skin cancers by
recommending complete avoidance of sun exposure, which in turn caused
large-scale vitamin D deficiency with an estimated loss of 1 million
lives each year. I sometimes ask myself if it is simply ignorance and
incompetence or if there is something more sinister to it.
The
Obesity epidemic
I
could write a book about all the health problems caused by the
medical-pharmaceutical complex and the neglectful way in which health
authorities contribute to our diseases. In addition to directly
causing diseases, these same forces also prevent the healing of these
same diseases by restricting, suppressing and persecuting the
practitioners of natural medicine as well as giving disease-causing
nutritional advice.
Until
1980 the rate of obesity and Type 2 diabetes was fairly stable.
However, when health authorities in the U.S.A. started vilifying
foods containing fats and cholesterol, and recommended eating more
carbohydrates instead, obesity increased from 15% of the adult U.S.
population to 25% within one decade and continued to rise to 32.9% in
2003-2004 (30).
Type 2 diabetes became an epidemic as well. In addition, for the
first time in history a large number of obese children developed Type
2 diabetes. Since then it is no longer called maturity-onset
diabetes. Also children start now developing Type 1 and Type 2
diabetes simultaneously (31,
32, 33).
All of these are iatrogenic diseases, caused by the medical system.
Natural
practitioners are experts in preventing and successfully treating
chronic diseases with nutrition and other natural methods. This
includes the metabolic syndrome which leads to diabetes, heart
disease and overweight. It is routinely and quickly remedied with
proper nutrition, but with accepted medical practice it becomes a
life-long condition managed with more or less toxic drugs. Surgery is
used for a wide range of conditions, and patients are severely
traumatized or mutilated for life when these problems could be
successfully treated with natural therapies.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations
are the proud showpiece of drug medicine in eliminating the dreaded
childhood infections of previous centuries. However, long-term
statistics and diagrams tell a different story. Starting between 1850
and 1900 scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough, and measles had
declined by about 90% by the time general vaccination was introduced
for each disease. While statistics vary between different countries,
this is generally true for England, the United States and Australia.
Whooping cough had declined in England by about 98.5% before a
vaccine became generally available, and measles had declined by over
99%. Tuberculosis had declined by 87% when antibiotics first became
available and by 93% before the introduction of the BCG vaccine. The
death rate from rheumatic fever had declined by 86% when penicillin
was introduced (34).
All of this has obviously more to do with better plumbing than with
vaccinations.
There
are also statistics showing that death rates from targeted diseases
rose with the introduction of vaccines. Other side-effects ascribed
to modern vaccines are cot or crib death (SIDS), a strong rise in
autism and ADHD, and shaken baby syndrome (spot bleeding in the
brain) which apparently landed innocent parents in jail. Experts
strongly deny that there is a connection between vaccines and autism,
but it is strange nevertheless that the rates of autism have suddenly
exploded after greatly increased numbers of vaccinations in recent
decades, and there is no obvious alternative reason. Also autism is
absent in Amish children who are generally not vaccinated. Vaccinated
children are reported to have about 150% more neurological disorders
such as ADHD and autism compared to unvaccinated children (35).
Another
curios aspect of vaccine safety statistics was highlighted by Dr
Archie Kalokerinos.
Working in the remote Australian outback with Aboriginals he found
that every second child died as a result of vaccinations. Because
deaths commonly occurred about 3 weeks later, they were not recorded
as vaccine-related; officially reactions were limited to occur only
for up to 2 weeks after vaccination. However, eventually Dr
Kalokerinos solved the problem by giving babies high doses of vitamin
C before vaccinations, and no more vaccination deaths occurred. Also
SIDS disappeared. Naturally he encountered ridicule and hostility
from his medical colleges, and babies are still dying needlessly
(36).
Deliberate
Bias Against Natural Therapies
It
has become a habit that any successful natural cancer remedy or
treatment is quickly outlawed by our health authorities. Many natural
health practitioners have been dragged before the courts and often
imprisoned, especially in the area of cancer treatment (37).
This is especially regrettable because there is no evidence that the
methods of orthodox cancer therapy are in any way successful (38).
One
of the methods increasingly used to denigrate natural therapies is
for the pharmaceutical industry to finance shoddy research on natural
remedies and then proclaim them to be ineffective or harmful. This is
only partly intended to influence the general public but mainly to
provide the justification for health authorities to outlaw and
greatly restrict natural remedies (39).
Another
strategy is not to list favorable vitamin studies in the MEDLINE
database. This is taxpayer-funded and operated by the US National
Library of Medicine. It lists all articles by medical research
journals, including Time magazine and Readers' Digest, but not the
peer-reviewed Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine
(http://www.orthomed.org/jom/jomlist.htm)
which specializes in vitamin research. Now the British Medical
Journal has published a letter about Medline bias (40)
and this has forced Medline to index articles on Medline bias.
Because
all these favorable vitamin studies are not indexed by Medline,
proponents of drug medicine can claim that there are no studies that
show that vitamins are useful in the treatment of diseases or that
they are safe in high doses, and therefore should be restricted to
very low doses. Of course, world-wide yearly fatalities due to
vitamins are zero; in comparison drug fatalities are infinitely
higher.
30
years ago Linus Pauling showed that high doses of vitamin C are
beneficial in cancer treatment. This has been ‘disproved’ by the
orthodoxy ever since. But now a study by conventional Johns Hopkins
scientists has shown that he was right (41).
In addition, the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine has just
published a double-blind, randomized clinical trial showing that
HIV-positive patients given supplemental nutrients can stop their
decline into AIDS (42). This would pose a big threat to the
medical-pharmaceutical complex and is one more reason not to index
this journal on Medline.
There
exists a systemic culture of suppression of dissenting views in
science and medicine, and frequently a vicious persecution with
“Gestapo-like” methods (43,
44).
Recently in the US even a mother has been jailed and brutalized for
“illegally” using natural methods to cure her son of malignant
melanoma (45).
Of
course, this assault of the medical-pharmaceutical complex on natural
healing methods is not illegal. On the contrary, in a capitalist
system it is their duty to maximize profits by eliminating the
competition and generating a steady supply of patients with chronic
diseases who can be managed indefinitely with drugs. The question is
just why do government health authorities make and enforce laws on
behalf of drug medicine and against natural medicine?
Theoretically
they should be impartial and ensure the best outcome for the
population. I believe the answer can be found in some good lateral
thinking by the pharmaceutical industry. By paying for and
influencing much of the medical education (46,
47, 48),
they automatically produce health officials and government advisers
who are steeped in pharmaceutical thinking and biased against natural
medicine. No bribery is needed, but health officials always know that
there is a well-paid job waiting if and when they want to retire from
government service, simple!
Natural
Medicine to the Rescue
Health
authorities so far have ignored the claims and evidence of natural
medicine that it is the superior form of treatment for chronic and
medically incurable diseases. The very fact of a high rate of chronic
disease in our society attests to the inability of the medical
profession to successfully treat these diseases. I have no doubt that
natural medicine could eliminate most chronic diseases within a
decade, needing only a few percent of the money that is spent on
conventional medicine. The knowledge is already available; no
expensive high-tech research is needed that may or may not give
results sometime in the future.
There
is a simple low-cost solution for bringing about the healing of our
society:
1.
Phase out public assistance for pharmaceutical companies and their
research, and require research to show that a drug is safe with
long-term use in combination with other common drugs and chemicals
and with old or fragile patients, or alternatively that it is
superior in the long-term to available natural treatments
2.
Make it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to fund medical
education or provide drug information, marketing or incentives
directly to the public or to medical practitioners, or to employ
former health officials. Information to medical practitioners should
be provided by an independent and impartial body
3.
Except for unethical conduct according to general society standards,
make it illegal for medical associations to restrict the therapies
used by their members
4.
Afford qualified practitioners of natural medicine the same
recognition and opportunities as those of drug medicine, including in
hospitals, rehabilitation, research and publications, health
departments and regulating authorities
So
far our medical and economic leaders do not want to face reality.
They brainwash the public into believing that the present health
situation is completely normal. Importantly, the whole economic
structure of Western civilization is based on the production and
distribution of goods and services that are contributing to poor
health. These include chemicalized agriculture and food processing,
the pharmaceutical industry, technological medicine and the
petrochemical and plastics industries.
The
guiding motto for industry is 'profit', while for the consumer it is
'convenience'. The price for all to pay is the loss of health. This
situation is the natural outcome of a society based on selfish
motivation. A change for the better can only come when more and more
people realize that ultimately they harm themselves with selfish
attitudes, and start electing leaders who are prepared to act in a
compassionate and cooperative way in the interest of the whole
society. We get what we choose: natural health or enduring drug
management.
