Yeast and Fungi Invaders

International Medical Veritas Association

Dr. Mark Sircus

My work is based on the conviction, supported by many years of

observations, comparisons and experiences, that the necessary and

sufficient cause of the tumor is to be sought in the vast world of

the fungi, the most adaptable, aggressive and evolved micro-

organisms known in nature.

Dr. Tullio Sumancini

Oncologist, Rome Italy

" The aggressive power of fungi is so great as to allow it, with only

a cellular ring made up of three units, to tighten in its grip,

capture and kill its prey in a short time notwithstanding the prey's

desperate struggling. Fungus, which is the most powerful and the

most organized micro-organism known, seems to be an extremely

logical candidate as a cause of neoplastic proliferation, " says Dr.

Simoncini. That metastatic cancer cells eat their way through the

protective barriers of an organ and march away from their proper

organ and overrun other tissues and organs describes yeast and

fungus invasion perfectly.

Fungi are dreadful enemies. During their life cycle fungi depend on

other living beings, which must be exploited to different degrees

for their feeding. Fungi can develop from the hyphas that are more

or less beak-shaped specialized structures that allow the

penetration of the host. The shape of the fungus is never defined,

for it is imposed by the environment in which the fungus develops.

Fungi are capable of implementing an infinite number of

modifications to their own metabolism in order to overcome the

defense mechanism of the host. These modifications are implemented

through plasmatic and biochemical actions as well as by a volumetric

increase (hypertrophy) and numerical hyperplasy of the cells that

have been attacked.

In 1999 Meinolf Karthaus, MD, watched three different children

with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a

triple antifungal drug cocktail for their " secondary " fungal

infections.[ i]

" Fungal infections not only can be extremely contagious, but they

also go hand in hand with leukemia[ii] -- every oncologist knows

this. And these infections are devastating: once a child who has

become a bone marrow transplant recipient gets a " secondary " fungal

infection, his chances of living, despite all the antifungals in the

world, are only 20%, at best, " writes Dr. Holland. Dr. Holland

is talking about pharmaceutical antifungal agents, not about sodium

bicarbonate, which until the arrival of Dr. Tullio Simoncini, was

not known or used for fungal infections.

Dr. Doug A. Kaufman writes, " The day I wrote this, a young lady

phoned into my syndicated radio talk show. Her three-year-old

daughter was diagnosed last year with leukemia. She believes

antifungal drugs and natural immune system therapy has been

responsible for saving her daughter's life. She is now telling

others with cancer about her daughter's case. After hearing her

story, a friend of hers with bone cancer asked her doctor for a

prescriptive antifungal drug. To her delight, this medication, meant

to eradicate fungus, was also eradicating her cancer. She dared not

share this with her physician, telling him only that the antifungal

medication was for a " yeast " infection. When she could no longer get

the antifungal medication, the cancer immediately grew back. Her

physician contended that a few antifungal pills surely should have

cured her yeast infection. It is my contention, however, that the

reason this medication worked was because she did have a yeast

infection not a vaginal infection for which this medication was

prescribed; a fungal infection of the bone that may have been

mimicking bone cancer. "

" Many cancer patients find the true fungal link to their cancer only

to succumb to heart disease or immune deficiency caused by

traditional cancer treatment. If this case were an isolated event,

it might be referred to as " coincidental. " I have been able to plead

with doctors of advanced cancer patients to at least try antifungal

drugs for their patients. Afterwards, simply amazing reports have

come forth. Several of these have been published in The Germ That

Causes Cancer, " continued Dr. Kaufman.

A medical textbook used to educate s Hopkins medical

students in 1957, Clinical and Immunologic Aspects of Fungous

Diseases, declared that many fungal conditions look exactly like

cancer!

Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann

The Germ That Causes Cancer

Cancer is a biologically- induced

spore (fungus) transformation disease.

Dr. Milton W. White

The University of Michigan Cancer Center has proclaimed that current

chemotherapy targets the " wrong " cells. The Ann Arbor researchers

discovered that not all cells in a tumor are equally malignant. Only

a tiny minority of tumor cells are actually capable of inducing new

cancers; the rest are relatively harmless. " These tumor-inducing

cells have many of the properties of stem cells, " said F.

e, MD, a professor of internal medicine, who directed the

study. " They make copies of themselves-- a process called self-

renewal--and produce all the other kinds of cells in the original

tumor. "

According to the Mayo Clinic, cancer refers to any one of a large

number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal

cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate

and destroy normal body tissue. This is a fact that does not depend

on the various theories. The theorizing begins when we run down the

usual path thinking that cancer begins with damage (mutations) in

our DNA. Our DNA is like a set of instructions for our cells,

telling them how to grow and divide. Normal cells often develop

mutations in their DNA, but they have the ability to repair most of

these mutations. Or, if they can't make the repairs, the cells

frequently die. However, certain mutations aren't repaired, causing

the cells to grow and become cancerous.or so the story goes. Looking

at the above definition we would be perfectly correct to say that

yeasts and fungi are, in human terms, abnormal cells that divide

uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal

body tissue.

A new cancer paradigm, one that is based on an understanding

that cancer is ultimately caused by multiple interacting factors

is far superior to a paradigm based on dubious attributable

fractions.

In understanding what cancer is we have to separate out the causes

of cancer from the cancer itself. In the end we will come to see

that cancer is a fungus, and not that cancer is caused by a fungus.

What causes cancer, and what causes yeast and fungi to colonize and

threaten the body is diverse. Many things have been scientifically

shown to cause cancer or to cause the conditions in which late state

infections (cancer) invite yeast and fungi to form colonies that

attach to sickly human cells.

Because cancer cells continue to grow and divide, they

are different from normal cells. Instead of dying, they

outlive normal cells and continue to form new abnormal cells.

Two basic theories of cancer have existed up to now: (1) the viral

theory and, (2) the trophoblast theory. There is a recognition that

cancer cells share some properties with placental cells found in

pregnancy. The classic experiments of Warburg on the respiratory

pattern of cancers of various species and tissue origins reveal a

high uniformity from tumor to tumor. Yet what these cells actually

are is in doubt.

Normal, healthy cells in our body grow in a very orderly and well-

controlled way, living for a set period of time and then dying on

schedule. When a normal cell dies, our body replaces it with another

normal cell. Cancer cells grow in an uncontrolled manner. One

malignant cell becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and

so on, until a mass of cells (a tumor) is created. Tumors remain

small until they're able to attract their own blood supply, which

allows them to obtain the oxygen and nutrients they need to grow

larger. But again this does not in the least suggest what these

cancer cells actually are - human cells on the rampage, or yeast and

fungi staking out their ever increasing territory?

The image of the normal colon tissue, at left, shows well-formed

oval-shaped glands, evenly lined with a single, organized layer of

cells indicated by arrows. The image of the cancerous colon tissue,

in contrast, shows highly disorganized cancer cells stacked upon

each other in an apparently random fashion, exactly what we would

expect from fungi invaders as well as human cells running amok.

The predominant viral theory says that outside agents invade your

body, or that somatic (good) cells mutate into cancer cells, and

that there exists an infinite number of different cancers. The

trophoblast theory of cancer was postulated over a hundred years ago

by ish embryologist Beard, a professor at the University

of Edinburgh. He and subsequent researchers say that,

morphologically, there is only one type of cancer cell, the

trophoblast cell. The trophoblast cell has a natural body function:

it arises from the meiosis (cell division) of a woman's diploid

totipotent cells after fertilization.

It really matters how we conceptualize cancer and the process that

leads to its proliferation in the body. The theory that malignant

cancers are false-placentas (trophoblast theory) was formulated by

Beard when he observed that placenta cells resemble cancer cells. He

also noted how malignant cancers act in the same way that placenta

cells act in the mother's womb; they attach to the uterus and " eat "

through it to obtain a blood supply. Beard also found other out-of-

place trophoblast cells in great numbers throughout the body. These

cells are placenta-like and do not differentiate into specific

tissue, but lie dormant. Beard called these cells " germ " cells. They

have properties similar to stem cells, and Beard believed that these

cells are the seeds of cancer. Notice again how Beard and almost all

medical scientists since assume these cells are human cells that

seem to be like plecenta type cells but none of this proves anything

about what the cells actually are.

I remain stunned at the hesitancy of American physicians to try

harmless antifungal approaches for anything but vaginal yeast.

Dr. Doug Kaufmann

A new area of research being driven by Dundee University in Scotland

is revealing remarkable abilities of fungi to interact with minerals

and metals. Led by Professor Geoffrey Gadd in the College of Life

Sciences, the research explores the unique taste that fungi seems to

have for rock and heavy metal. Yeasts, moulds and mushrooms are all

fungi and there are an estimated 1.5 million different species in

the biosphere. By breaking down dead organic material, they continue

the cycle of nutrients through ecosystems, and most plants could not

grow without the symbiotic fungi that inhabit their roots and supply

essential nutrients.

We wonder about cancer's great ability to kill both animals and

people. No wonder when yeast and fungi are the types of organism

that will thrive almost anywhere. They have been found growing in

the harshest of environments, in the desert and polar regions, in

the sea and on rocks. They have no problem proliferating in the

human body especially in those suffering from heavy metal and other

chemical poisoning with deficient immune systems and severe

nutritional deficiencies.

Fungi create acidic by-products which help them use nutrients in the

minerals but this begins to decompose the rock in a form of

biological weathering (bioweathering) . " This ability of fungi to

attack and degrade concrete and other materials has implications not

only for the weathering and corrosion of buildings but is also

relevant to nuclear decommissioning, for example, " Professor Gadd

said. Imagine what fungi can do to the brain if they can eat out the

concrete esophagus put around nuclear sites like Chernobyl.

White rot fungi, the only organisms able to biodegrade wood, is so

good at

digesting just abut everything that they will be used to biodegrade

toxic chemicals.

Not a week goes by that we don't find yet another medical or

societal reference to fungi causing human misery. In September 1999,

s Hopkins medical researchers confirmed that virtually all

chronic sinus infections were due to fungus. Fungus makes poisonous

byproducts called mycotoxins. Antibiotics are one class of

mycotoxins. The fact that mycotoxins can cause cancer is not up for

grabs. Even the American Cancer Society admit: " Mycotoxins are

genotoxic carcinogens, and exposure begins in utero and in mother's

milk, continuing throughout life; these conditions favor the

occurrence of disease. " (, et al. American Cancer Society

Textbook of Clinical Oncology, 2nd ed. 1995)

A medical textbook used to educate s Hopkins medical

students in 1957, Clinical and Immunologic Aspects of Fungous

Diseases, declared that many fungal conditions look exactly like

cancer!

Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann

The Germ That Causes Cancer

Both cancer cells and fungi can metabolize nutrients in the absence

of oxygen (anaerobically) and both must have sugar in order to

survive. Both can be impacted by antifungal medicines.[iii] Both

will die in the absence of sugar.[iv] " Mycotoxi ns have proven to be

very toxic and harmful, and it is no wonder that many inhabitants of

mold-infested spaces are constantly ill, mainly with upper

respiratory tract infections, lethargy, constant headaches, nausea,

and a general ill feeling. Inhabiting these living spaces for a

considerable period may lead to cancer. " [v]

Cancer is defined as malignant tumor of disorderly cells that have

the potential of nearly unlimited growth. These uncontrolled cells

expand locally and/or metastasize (spread destructively) to other

tissues and organs. Clearly this can define a yeast or fungus colony

as well as normal cells losing control of their own reproductive

growth. One thing we do know about the genetic theory of human

cancer cells is that it is impossible to treat. The war on cancer

was lost because medical scientists were fighting the wrong enemy.

They were battling against their assumptions that are in the end

turning into conceptual phantoms. Doctors are assuming incorrectly

yet are in denial that they could be so wrong, so blind, so

pigheaded when looking at other probablilities.

Everyone is in denial about something. For Freud, denial was a

defense against external realities that threaten the ego, and many

psychologists today would argue that it can be a protective defense

in the face of unbearable news, like a cancer diagnosis, or for the

modern day onclogist to hear that cancer is really a fungus

infection.

The idea that a proposed cancer germ could have more than

one form is a threat to doctors and some microbiologists.

Indeed the cancer germ has been described as having a

virus like and fungus-like, as well as mycoplasma-like phase.

Dr. Alan Cantwell

The Cancer Microbe

Fungi are so aggressive as to attack not only plants, animal tissue,

food supplies and other fungi, but even protozoa, amoebas and

nematodes.

Here we see the beginning of the invasion, in this case the

fungi/yeast being attracted to an artery but it can be to any

rotting or weakening tissues. As we will see in other chapters this

kind of infective invasion is not the exception but the rule when it

comes to cancer. It is absolutely ridiculous to even imagine

cellular pathology without an infectious process. It just does not

happen in nature or at least certainly not in human physiology. When

there is rot there is invasion from hosts of pathogens - in

increasingly evolved forms - as the infection persists.

Viruses, bacteria, fungus and yeast proliferate and

evolve in compromised biological environments.

Bacteria, primarily in the coccus-like form in microscopic

tissue sections, have also been found in various forms of cancer.

When the conditions are right, viruses, bacteria and then yeast

and fungi will develop their colonies and expand in number rapidly.

" Fungi show a great variety of reproductive manifestations (sexual,

asexual, gemmation), these manifestations can often be observed

simultaneously in the same mycete., and combined with a great

morphostructural variety of organs. All of this is directed toward

the end of spore formation, to which the continuity and propagation

of the species is entrusted, continues Dr. Simoncini.

Cancer is one of the most maligned and misunderstood

diseases of the past millennium. There is also reason

to believe it is one of the most misdiagnosed maladies.

Dr. Doug A. Kaufmann

Dr. MJ Dvmanov, a professor of medical mycology says, " A disease

caused by a fungal mold is called a mycosis. Often a fungal

infection, a mycosis, abscess or a fibroid immune response to the

presence of fungal mold is called a cancer. Two of my recent studies

involved a 26 year old female with a large mold growth in her left

lung that required surgical removal and a 65 year old male with a

brain " cancer " that was later diagnosed as being 2 different fungal

mold growths. Mold produces many toxins and exposure to some molds

result in a cancer or unnatural cell growth both hyperplasia and

metaplasia. I have investigated cases where initial diagnosis was

cancer and later from biopsy and culture identified as a mold

growth. Far more deaths are caused by a fungal mold than anyone

would believe. Dr. Leyland H. Hartwell's Noble Prize in Medicine

Lecture in 2001 introduced the fact that in culture cancer cells

just like fungal mold, often described by histopathologists as

undifferentiated carcinomas, are immortal just like fungal mold in

that they continue to grow even outside the body, when normal human

cells do not. If cancer cells are not human cells, then what are

they, fungal mold? "

In looking at live blood, you can clearly " see " that there are forms

that

look like bacteria, micro-organisms and parasites that not only are

in

the blood, but that over time can grow and can change their shapes.

Fungi will also live almost anywhere. They have been found growing

in the

harshest of environments, in the desert and polar regions, in the

sea and on rocks.

Candida albicans will shift from yeast form to mycelial fungal

form and start to invade the body. In the yeast state, Candida is a

non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, while in fungal state it is

invasive and can produce rhizoids, very long root-like structures.

Fungi are serious enemies. " When the nutritional conditions are

precarious, many fungi react with hyphal fusion (among nearby fungi)

which allows them to explore the available material more easily,

using more complete physiological processes. Fungi are capable of

implementing an infinite number of modifications to their own

metabolism in order to overcome the defense mechanism of the host, "

says Simoncini.

When fungi are fed the food they love they become more virulent.

Their ability to penetrate and root into the intestinal walls, for

example and invade the cells is increased. They not only attach

themselves to human tissues but can actually invade the cells where

they become quite at home. Thus they are not secondary but primary

infections that have been helped along with runaway antibiotic

usage, dental amalgam, flu vaccines laden with mercury, mineral

deficiencies and by terrible modern diets infected with molds and

yeasts as well as many potent poisons.

The shape of the fungus is never defined, for it is imposed

by the environment in which the fungus develops.

" In some cases, the aggressive power of fungi is so great as to

allow it, with only a cellular ring made up of three units, to

tighten in its grip, capture and kill its prey in a short time

notwithstanding the prey's desperate struggling. Fungus, which is

the most powerful and the most organized micro-organism known, seems

to be an extremely logical candidate as a cause of neoplastic

proliferation, " Dr. Simoncini says, " Candida albicans clearly

emerges as the sole candidate for tumoral proliferation. If we stop

for a second and reflect on its characteristics, we can observe many

analogies with neoplastic disease. The most evident are:

1) Ubiquitous attachment: no organ or tissue is spared

2) The constant absence of hyperpyrexia

3) Sporadic and indirect involvement of the differential tissues

4) Invasiveness that is almost exclusively of the focal type

5) Progressive debilitation

6) Refractivity to any type of treatment

7) Proliferation facilitated by multiplicity of indifferent

cofounders. "

" We therefore have to hypothesise that Candida, in the moment it is

attacked by the immunological system of the host or by a

conventional antimycotic treatment, does not react in the usual,

predicted way, but defends itself by transforming itself into ever-

smaller and non-differentiated elements that maintain their

fecundity intact to the point of hiding their presence both to the

host organism and to possible diagnostic investigations, " says

Simoncini.

Candida's behavior may be considered to be almost elastic: When

favorable conditions exist, it thrives on an epithelium; as soon as

the tissue reaction is engaged, it massively transforms itself into

a form that is less productive but impervious to attack -- the

spore. If then continuous sub-epithelial solutions take place,

coupled with a greater reactivity in that very moment the spore gets

deeper in the lower connective tissue in such an impervious state,

it is irreversible. In fact, the Candida takes advantage of a

structural interchangeability according to the difficulties required

to overcome its biological niche.

Factors that predispose a patient to candidiasis are general health

concerns embrace all conditions that affect the immune system,

including systemic disease, endocrine abnormalities, diabetes, drugs

such as immunosuppressive agents, systemic steroids, antibiotics,

and oral contraceptives may increase the likelihood of development

of candidiasis. Long term antibiotic treatment for acne or recurrent

urinary tract infection is often implicated in the overgrowth of

Candida. The candidiasis may become extensive if the patients are

treated with antibiotics on the erroneous assumption that the

infection is bacterial.

It is therefore urgent, on the basis of the above-mentioned

considerations, to recognize the hazardous nature of such a

pathogenic agent, which is capable of easily taking the most various

biological configurations, both biochemical and structural, in

function of the condition of the host organism. The fungal expansion

gradient in fact becomes steeper as the tissue that is the host of

the mycotic invasion becomes less eutrophic, and thus less reactive.

When fungal colonization and mycotoxin

contamination is maximal one finds cancer

growing and mestastizing at a maximal rate.

If the spine, for example, becomes infected with bacteria or fungi,

inside or on the surface of vertebrae, then the entire torso region

(region between neck and waist) may be extremely sore and stiff

after being in bed for a while, and may feel better after taking a

hot shower and moving around, yet may still be sore during the day,

especially during a deep breath.

All of the medications proven to be effective in

the treatment of the mycotoxin-induced diseases

possess anti-fungal and/or anti-mycotoxic activity.

Dr. A.V. Costantini

We can an establish a unified theory that ties in the deterioration

of cells, the changes in DNA, RNA, mitochondria, respiration, build

up of toxicity and heavy metals, loss of cell wall permeability,

increasing buildup of calcium, loss of energy, changes in energy

metabolism and changes in pH all of which create serious

deteriorations in cell health and ability to resist infection.

Cancer is a big word and within its embrace is a host of factors.

Fungi are big invaders that would put Atilla the Hun to shame

running us as they do, so easily into our graves.

is statistically justifiable on the basis of coincidence. "

Histoplasmosis is what we call an " endemic " fungal infection. The

intracellular, infectious, biologically induced spore (fungus)

transformation disease. "
