Winning The War Within

Winning The War Within 

“Nature, in order to be commanded, must be obeyed.”

…Sir Francis Bacon

Under normal circumstance yeast lives in small quantities both on and in your body. (Over three hundred different types of yeasts and fungi have been identified that live on human skin alone.) Inside your body, yeast thrives mainly in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the surface area of which equals that of a tennis court. It loves the warm, moist, recesses of your mouth, esophagus, linings of your stomach and intestines, vagina and rectum where it lives harmoniously with several pounds of local bacteria and other organisms in a peaceful kind of co-existence.
At a closer look, we see that sometimes things aren’t as peaceful as they seem, and it becomes evident that what you have, instead of a peaceful co-existence, is more of a truce or cease-fire.

A compromise seems to have been struck between your body and yeasts. Yeasts have been allowed to live on surface linings in balance with bacteria, but are banned from going into deeper tissue. If they do attempt to break through that truce and colonize in unspecified areas, your immune system will position its white blood cells (WBC) to seek out and destroy them.

Of course, for your immune system to carry out that mission, it must be strong. If the front line defense is crippled, small bands of yeasts begin to sneak through holes in its defenses, regroup, and multiply wildly.

White blood cells (WBC), the SWAT teams of your immune system, are eventually overwhelmed by yeast and put out of work. As a result, the original compromise is scrapped and prisoners are now in charge of the prison. Fungi, yeasts, bacteria, and other organisms are all rioting for control of newly taken territory and the creation of a new pecking order.

Wherever fungi and bacteria live within you, there is fierce competition for food, shelter, and space. It’s a jungle in there! Yeasts even attack and produce chemicals to suppress the growth of other yeasts, in an effort to maintain a balance among species. Yet, all are vying for their own areas in a limited space. Things can get pretty testy during the process. But as long as you remain healthy, the normal biological ratio of millions of parts bacteria to one part yeast is preserved, winning the war within. The interaction between you and the parasite continues unnoticed, indicating your body learned long ago to cope with your mysterious visitors. Your body has accepted and adjusted to them, and a miraculous homeostasis prevails.

Homeostasis is the physiological ability of higher animals to maintain stability in their organic functions even when threatened with disruption. This delicate function, homeostasis, or ability to remain balanced and whole, is what your body is constantly striving to achieve. It is a form of peace.

When homeostasis is compromised by drugs, lack of nutrition, injury or accident, or any kind of physical or emotional stress, your immune system falters. Yeast, the ultimate opportunist, over-colonizes and goes on the attack. The normal balance of millions of bacteria to one yeast becomes reversed-to an abnormal ratio of millions of yeast to one bacteria.

Your immune system, already losing steam, courageously tries to fight yeast and the poisons they give off. But, eventually crumbles under the overwhelming numbers of proliferating armies of yeast. The medical profession refers to this as a “depressed immune response.”

A vicious cycle is created. Your body begins to pick up viruses and produce allergies, infections, and illness. Then, to add insult to injury, your physician adds antibiotics, steroids, and chemical drugs of all types to the mix. Producing even more yeast overgrowths-and as we know now-more illness.

Obviously, your immune system continues its downward spiral.

The only way to interrupt this slide, into a desperate disease state, is to stop the yeast from growing and spreading. And it can be stopped-dead in its tracks, winning the war within you.

Any general will tell you that “an army moves on its stomach,” and if not well fed, soldiers can neither march nor fight. The same holds true for an army of yeasts. If you don’t feed them they curl up and die.

As they die, and as their numbers are destroyed, they keep falling back to former lines of defense. With each retreat, your immune system builds up its weapons, flexes its muscles, and regains strength. Slowly but surely, as more and more battles are won, your once-defeated immune system rebuilds itself, and at last claims victory winning the war within you! The expanded armies of yeasts are defeated, and a small number of survivors are placed into camps surrounded by armed guards. The battlefield is cleaned up and your immune system is back in command! Peace once again prevails!

In order for you to win against overwhelming odds, you, the victorious general, have to take the initiative. You have to be bold.  Supplements, and the tactics and battle plans that appear in a yeast free diet, will help you chart your strategies for victory!

You will have to be bold as the war plans are drawn and the battle unfolds. You will have to take the initiative and strike decisively, and consistently until the battle is won. But it will be worth the effort, because you will recapture, regain and reclaim that which the yeast/beast has tried to steal from you as spoils of war: your immune system, your health, and even your life.
