What Is Yeast And What Can It Do?
What Is Yeast And What Can It Do?
Let’s simplify the basics of what is important to understand and remember about what yeast is and what it can do in your body.
There are five basics of yeast growth that take it from local to lethal in your body.
- Yeast lives topically (on your skin), in confined areas. Dandruff and ring-worm are a few examples. Small colonies live normally in the intestines and the vagina. However, your immune system will remain strong.
- Yeast still lives topically, but it is on the run. Its increasing in numbers and begins creating infections in your gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) tracts. Diarrhea, bloating, heartburn, vaginal yeast infections, weight gain, and cystitis can appear. Your immune system is beginning to get stressed and starts losing ground.
- Yeast begins to multiply and becomes colonies of fungi. The fungus burrows into your bloodstream. Yeast is now invasive; it has gained access to your body and has become systemic. Yeasts and their toxins circulate throughout your body in your bloodstream. Headaches, hives, rashes, asthma, ear infections, acne, and fatigue can occur. Your now battered immune system breaks down further.
- Your central nervous system (CNS) becomes affected. Dysfunction and deterioration occurs from huge loads of yeast toxins circulating in your bloodstream. Memory loss, depression, PMS, behavioral problems, intense fatigue, and hallucinations can occur. Your immune system is barely functioning and approaching gridlock.
- Your endocrine system (hormones) and organs are breaking down. Some parts of your body are literally being eaten alive, as the fungus penetrates deeper and deeper into your tissue. Low thyroid, adrenal exhaustion diabetes, overwhelming fatigue, severe abdominal pain, diseases of digestion, cancer, and menstrual problems such as endometriosis, infertility, and low liver function are indicative of severe infestation of fungus. Immune system meltdown.
We must never forget that Candida albicans (yeast) is a potential killer in the body. It can disseminate widely to cause infection in almost every tissue of your body, and it can become very fulminating and cause rapid death through the destruction of tissue and the production of toxins. The death certificate may read “heart attack,” “kidney failure,” “pneumonia,” “liver disease,” “cancer,” etc., but you can be sure Candida albicans was there first and created the environment needed for the disease to develop. It is the “disease behind disease.”
When I worked at a local hospital, years ago, I had a patient who passed away from AIDS. He had a feeding tube and was intubated (on life support). After this patient passed away we removed these tubes from his body and sent them to the lab to be tested. The family returned weeks later to thank the staff and I for the care we had given him and they told me that the tubes were found to be completely clogged with yeast.
AIDS (Acquired Immune System Deficiency Syndrome) is a disease of low immune system function. The disease name changed from HIV, or Human-Immunodeficiency-Virus, to Acquired Immune System Deficiency Syndrome when scientists suspected it was a fungal disease, not a viral one. Before he passed away in the hospital, as his disease progressed at home, he picked up more and more infections. His doctors prescribed antibiotic after antibiotic to treat each setback. Each prescription ignited more yeast. With each new batch of yeast came his lowered immunity, which invited more infections and more antibiotics. It was a losing battle. Eventually his body was both too debilitated to resist and too weak to fight, and he died.
However, he didn’t actually die of AIDS, but Candida albicans killed him. His body was “eaten up” and overwhelmed by fungi to the point that his feeding tube and breathing tube were filled with Candida organisms and he could neither breathe nor swallow (he had the feeding tube before he had the breathing tube). Yet his death certificate indicated AIDS as the cause of death. Almost all AIDS patients succumb to fungal diseases.
It is true that the interventions of antibiotics and other drugs have prolonged and saved many lives in the short run, but we are finding it’s not without a price. It is a trade off that needs to be closely evaluated more scientifically.
Instead of dying from infectious diseases early in life, we are now living longer but enjoying life less. We are developing chronic degenerative diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis (MS) at earlier ages and at alarming rates as trade offs for the use of synthetic drugs and immunizations. It is time to decide if that is a fair trade or whether we have been deceived and swindled. The promises of drugs to heal us in too many cases have turned into the ashes of sick and broken lives.
The medical profession, unfortunately, has become fascinated with disease instead of health and mesmerized by pathology instead of wellness. Consequently, American medicine, instead of delivering a “health care system”, is instead mass producing a “money making symptom management system.”
With the medical profession compartmentalizing the human body into innumerable specialties (I call it Humpty Dumpty medicine), the focus of modern allopathic (western) medicine has become specialized and narrow. We have reached the point where the whole person cannot be perceived as a total entity. He is a blur of fragments. And now all the king’s horses and all the king’s men are frantically trying to put the pieces of old Humpty Dumpty back together again, ineffectively. Consequently, the whole person is rarely healed.
Right now, as much as two-thirds of the medical research funding in most major academic institutions, comes either directly or indirectly from drug companies. Our modern doctors are basically taught two principles: 1) diagnose disease and 2) prescribe drugs. In my humble opinion, many physicians have become little more than modern day, legal, third-party payer acceptable drug “pushers.”
Is it any wonder we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on medical care each year? Our health care system is crumbling under the weight of enormous costs of surgeries, drugs, and expensive treatments and equipment. How much of this cost was caused by diseases that could have been prevented in the first place? How much suffering could have been prevented if doctors had been trained in preventive medicine and natural healing?
It is time for doctors to re-read the Hippocratic Oath. Many believe that “First thou shall do no harm” was part of that oath. Actually, the phrase originally appeared in one of Hippocrates private letters. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, formulated the oath 2,500 years ago. In it doctors vowed:
- “I will first apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment: I will keep them from harm and injustice.”
- “I will neither give a deadly drug to anyone if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect.”
- “I will not give a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.”
Many medical schools no longer mandate the recitation of the Hippocratic Oath. A modern version was instituted in the 1980’s that bears little resemblance to the original. Gone are the references to dietary measures for the healing of the sick. No reference is made regarding deadly drugs. The vow not to give a woman an abortive remedy has been re-written to read: “I will not give a woman a pessary to produce abortion.” A pessary is a plug or cylinder that was used to induce labor. With the new deceitful wording it is implied that “other” more modern methods of abortion might be employed.
This original oath is violated by doctors many times every day as most of their prescriptions for chemical “miracles” are, in actuality, harming us and speeding up our deaths by creating a more favorable environment for the great decomposers and recyclers-yeast and fungi.
For over one hundred years we have been fascinated with pharmaceutical drugs and synthetic “quick fixes.” Some of these “miracle drugs” have eased pain and saved lives and should be made available to those who need them. But, in our quest of the quick and easy, we may have become our own worst enemy.
Even though candidiasis (yeast infection) is often an “iatrogenic” or doctor-caused disease, we cannot place all the blame for this epidemic on modern day allopathic (chemical drug) medicine. In fact, we ourselves must bear part of the responsibility.
For many years we have demanded from our doctors quick and simple solutions and put our faith in chemistry. They have obliged us, and now our drugged bodies are breeding stronger, more resistant, more virulent strains of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Now new, stronger, more toxic drugs must be developed to kill them. Our battered immune systems never have a chance to get ahead.
And what have these drugs been teaching our bodies?
They have been teaching our bodies that they cannot get well by themselves. Big Pharma’s mantra seems to be, “You cannot be well or get well without our drugs!”
By constantly nipping every little infection in the bud with antibiotics and other drugs, our immune systems are deprived of the valuable knowledge that they can rise to the occasion and knock out any invaders on their own. Our bodies are denied the experience of winning a battle and then remembering how to do it again, if needed. That is why having childhood diseases builds up immunity. Once a child has measles, the body “remembers” how to fight it if ever exposed again to the measles virus.
Through practice, your immune system “learns” to become strong. Drugs deny your immune system the chance to exercise. You know the saying, “If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it” well, that truly applies here because what we are seeing today is an entire younger generation of people coming down with immune system disorders like AIDS and autoimmune system disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, multiple sclerosis (MS), cancer, and diabetes. And these diseases are historically seen in much older people.
These younger people’s immune systems are all compromised by pharmaceutical drugs as they grow up. By the time they enter young adulthood, like my daughter, Courtney, who is 26 years old, they have poorly functioning immune systems. True, their sore throats, bacterial infections, etc., were knocked out by antibiotics or other drugs. But their bodies learned NOTHING from the experience. The much needed learning and natural cleansing processes that their bodies go through, such as vomiting, diarrhea, coughing up sputum, fevers, etc. were interrupted or stopped altogether. The virus or bacteria then went deeper into tissue, into hiding, and the appearance of health was left to disguise as well being.
Instead of learning to become strong, our immune systems actually have been taught to become weak.
This has put a basic law of nature on “hold.” This law is called “the survival of the fittest,” and it has been the way of nature since the beginning of time. It means that when an organism (you) are weak or out of balance with nature, dis-ease develops. Micro-organisms are then stimulated to proliferate and cause illness. If an organism’s condition is strong enough, it will overcome the illness and survive. If not, it will die. This law of nature, up until now, has created increasingly hardy species on earth.
With the introduction of antibiotics, the natural order has been interrupted. Since the body and its immune system have been denied their learning experiences, we are allowing weakened genetic material to be added to the global gene pool. Our potential for creating healthy new generations is disintegrating with that pool. Only time will tell to what extent we have deteriorated.
It is true that we seem to be living longer, but that is due to decreased numbers of deaths from infectious diseases and infant mortality, organ transplants, plus extended critical care and life support-especially toward the end of life-which is not a reflection of overall health.
One of the reflections of the deterioration of our overall health, even as we live longer, is the crushing costs of delivering health care during the last years of our “longer” lives. We have substituted quantity for quality and are clearly paying for it.
Today, as awareness grows, more and more people are turning to more natural means to heal themselves and their families. People are tired of going from one specialist to another; getting one prescription after another; and not healing. In their weariness, they are finding health food stores, researching, signing up with natural online companies, reading and learning about nutrition and healing. They are growing their own organic vegetables, juicing, and healing themselves!
We are waking up to the fact that none of us is a victim to disease. We create ill-health through making wrong choices, thinking wrong thoughts, and living wrong lifestyles.
And we can heal ourselves by empowering ourselves with knowledge, making the right choices, and changing what needs to be changed in our lives.
The only thing that has ever cured an illness or disease is the human body itself, but only if provided with the right healing tools and building materials it was designed to use.
Our biggest error was to think that modern science and modern medicine could “do it better” than Mother Nature.
“In vain shalt thou use many medicines, for thou shalt not be cured.”
-Jeremiah 46:11
