Did You Know Candida Produces Carcinogens and
Promotes Cancer?

Up to 97% of cancer patients have candida

by Alexandra Preston

For many years, the only known link between Candida spp. infections, and cancer
was that it is an opportunistic pathogen taking advantage of the immune system
damage caused by chemo.

Recently, new research has found that Candida albicans can actually also promote
cancer by producing carcinogens, causing inflammation, increasing the response of
Th17 cells, and molecular mimicry of our own immune cells.

Candida produces the carcinogens known as nitrosamines and acetaldehyde.
Nitrosamines activate specific pro-cancer genes, while acetaldehyde is a
DNA-damaging carcinogen with many downstream effects.

Inflammation promotes cancer by causing tissue damage and production of chemicals that
promote angiogenesis, proliferation, migration, and adhesion while inhibiting apoptosis of
damaged cells.

Th17 cells, which are dominant in the response to Candida infections, are also responsible
for production of chemicals that can increase angiogenesis and tumor growth.

On top of this, antibodies produced against Candida albicans can mimic a receptor on
white blood cells, possibly causing antibodies to be formed against our own immune cells.

This is another strike against sugar and alcohol consumption in relation to cancer risk, as
both alcohol metabolism and sugar fermentation lead to acetaldehyde production.

One real-life report of cancer being in association with fungal infections comes from
Meinolf Karthaus, who observed three children with leukemia suddenly go into remission
after antifungal treatment for “secondary” infections.

Additionally, one doctor had found fungal spores in every tissue sample of cancer that he
studied, as he used saline instead of formaldehyde to transport the samples in order to
preserve any possible fungi.

Natural Anti-Fungal Solutions for Candida

While pharmaceutical antifungals can cause even more damage to patients’ liver and
kidneys,curcumin, the “main” medicinal compound in turmeric, may be an
alternative.

On top of exhibiting potent antifungal activity against Candida, curcumin also has
anticancer properties, such as the ability to destroy cancer stem cells. Curcumin has
antifungal effects against other species as well.

Cryptococcus, Aspergillus, Trichosporon, and Paracoccidioides strains have been shown
to be vulnerable to its effects.

Additionally, curcumin can prevent resistance of Candida to the antifungal drug
fluconazole. It appeared to be that resistant Candida were able to pump fluconazole
out of the cell bodies.

Despite curcumin’s poor water solubility and thus bioavailability, nanoparticles and
fat soluble delivery methods can overcome this limitation. More traditionally, golden milk is
a beverage that increases availability of turmeric to the body, and can be made at home.

Besides curcumin, clove oil may also be effective against Candida infections. In one study,
even the vapour of clove essential oil was able to inhibit several species of fungi, though
the oil vapor was only strong enough to temporarily stop Candida growth without killing
the cells.

However, direct application was much stronger. Using direct application, the Minimum
Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of clove oil was 2.5%, meaning that clove oil at 2.5%
concentration was enough to completely prevent fungal growth, which is an indicator
of living cells.

So in conclusion, natural fungicides and fungistatics such as curcumin and
clove oil must gain more recognition, particularly in cancer treatment, whether
the goal is full remission or “quality of life”.

Reducing sugar and alcohol intake is also seen as increasingly necessary in order to
prevent fungal infections and cancer growth.

Orthodox Cancer Treatments Don’t Treat Cancer

Lääkärit puhuvat harvoin syövän ”parantamisesta”.
Sen sijaan hoidon onnistumisen mittarina käytetään
potilaan selviytymistä hengissä 5, 10 tai 15 vuoden
kuluttua diagnoosista.

Hämmästyttävää on se, että kaiken syöpälääkäreiden "silvo, polta ja myrkytä"
-hoitojen jälkeen syövästä selviytymisaste on parantunut hiukan.

Esimerkiksi vuosikymmenen vaihteessa Englannin ja Walesin tilastot
osoittivat, että 5 vuoden selviytymisaste miesten kaikissa syövissä oli 31 % ja
naisilla 43 %. Lukemat Skotlannin osalta ovat samankaltaiset.
Tänä päivänä, vaikka edelleen synkät, niin luvut ovat hiukan paremmat.

Mutta ovatko luvut todella paremmat? Varmasti he haluaisivat meidän uskovan
niin, mutta suurimpana tekijänä ovat tilastot.
Tilastoja voidaan vääristellä ja nyt tilastot näyttävät paremmilta, sillä tekijänä
ovat tilastot. Tilastoja voidaan vääristellä ja nyt tilastot näyttävät paremmilta,
sillä potilaan kuollessa kemoterapian ja säteilyhoitojen sivuvaikutuksiin häntä
ei merkitä syöpään kuolleeksi.

Eräs lukijoistani kirjoitti: ”Ystäväni kuoli äskettäin peräsuolisyöpään ja hänen
vaimonsa oli tyrmistynyt huomatessaan kuolintodistuksessa syövän olevan vasta
kolmas kuolinsyy infektion ja muiden hoidon aiheuttamien ongelmien jälkeen.”

Tätä tapausta ei siis laskettu syöpäkuolemaksi.
Lisäksi jos potilas on diagnosoitu rintasyövästä ja hän paranee osittain siitä ja
syöpä palaa metastasoituneena jollekin muulle alueelle, niin viiden vuoden
jälkeen häntä pidetään rintasyövästä selvinneenä (vaikka kuolisi siihen toiseen
syöpään myöhemmin).
