Re: Vitamin D for Cancer

[Guest guest]

Nil,

What form are you using? If you are allergic to fish, then you'll have to try

the D3 that's made from lanolin (which is what I use - I'm allergic to fish).

Vitamin D is a hormone, I think, right? You may want to try the sublingual

version of the supplement as it won't get into your intestinal tract.

I'm allergic to B vitamins. I'm a vegetarian and my B12 is always low. But I

can't supplement at all. I've tried every type including the nasal spray. So,

I understand your frustration.

Leaky gut and yeast.

(NaturalNews) While reading Blinded by Science, an amazing book that you can

download for free on the internet at http://www.blindedbyscience.co.uk/ until

April 30, 2011, I realized that most of the work I've done for the past 30 years

has been ignored by science. I beat my head against the brick wall of medical

and scientific complacency because people continue to suffer from the following

conditions, and the best that doctors can do is offer them tranquilizers!

1. Yeast overgrowth

2. Magnesium deficiency

3. IBS caused by poor diet and lifestyle

4. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies

5. Undiagnosed hypothyroidism

6. Underdiagnosed Adrenal fatigue

7. Heavy metal toxicity

In this article I focus on...

Yeast Overgrowth

I studied yeast overgrowth after medical school during my naturopathic training.

It made sense to me that people who take antibiotics kill off good bacteria as

well as bad bacteria and set up an hospitable environment for yeast to overgrow.

But for some reason, medicine chooses to ignore yeast overgrowth.

Candida albicans is a fungus living in our intestines that produces 180 chemical

toxins that can be absorbed through the intestines into the blood. Just think of

what 180 toxins can do to your immune system. Any " foreign chemical " in the

blood stream will create an inflammatory reaction that can be measured by

various blood tests. These toxins are capable of making you feel dizzy and

fatigued, shutting down your thyroid, throwing your hormones off balance,

causing you to gain weight and crave sugar and alcohol. It's associated with

PMS, loss of libido, painful intercourse, infertility, numbness, tingling, MS,

Crohn's, colitis, IBS, acne, Lupus, insomnia, drowsiness, white tongue, breath

bad, body odor, sinusitis, bruising, sore throat, bronchitis, shortness of

breath, heart palpitations, spots in front of eyes, and dozens more symptoms.

Medicine, by ignoring yeast overgrowth and just thinking it's a pesky vaginitis,

doesn't realize how deeply yeast is involved with our current epidemic of

inflammation.

Inflammation is a 'hot' topic. An Internet search on the word turned up an

overwhelming 43.4 million hits. Journals of inflammation, inflammation research

associations, and drug companies are all scrambling to find a drug to treat this

scourge. Inflammation is the body's first defense against infection, but when it

goes awry, it can lead to heart attacks, colon cancer, Alzheimer's and a host of

other diseases.

How can a simple infection lead to heart attacks and cancer? That's exactly

where inflammation begins; it's the first response of your immune system to an

infecting organism or foreign material that trips a switch leading to a

" cascade " of biochemical events. Fluid floods the infected area along with a

dozen different chemicals including white blood cells and histamine -all capable

of producing the signs of inflammation - redness, swelling, and pain.

To the great detriment of the health of our society, this fungus is growing

rampant in a large proportion of the population - both men and women. It's one

of the many diseases of civilization - the culmination of the side effects of

drug and food technology and the disservices of our stressful way of life. The

miracle of antibiotics has its downside as an underlying cause of yeast

overgrowth. The refining of sugar and wheat has its downside by creating a

simple food source for yeast. The tremendous levels of stress hormones that

flood our bodies daily, hourly, and every minute in our sped up world also make

us prey to yeast.

Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth) has been around for decades, ever since we began

to use antibiotics but neglected to replace the good bacteria that are destroyed

along with the bad. Yeast itself, a cousin to molds, has grown in human bodies

since Adam and Eve. Candida albicans is the main yeast in the human body; it

lives there happily enough, kept in check by beneficial bacteria in the

intestines. These bacteria make small amounts of vitamin K and B12 and help

digest excess sugar that gets past the small intestine. A very special group of

bacteria also make lactic acid, which protects the gut and vagina against yeast.

Candida is one of the 400 organisms that make their home in our mouth, digestive

tract, vagina and on our skin. For the most part, yeast get along with their

neighbors. When you begin taking antibiotics, however, the whole delicate

balance is lost. Antibiotics don't discriminate, they wipe out most of the good

along with the bad bacteria leaving yeast unharmed.

In the absence of competition, yeast colonies grow into all the empty nooks and

crannies of the large intestine and even the small intestine. It is a scientific

fact that when yeast cells reach a certain critical mass they change from a

round budding stage to a thread-like tissue invasive stage. They are running out

of food and looking for more, so they pack their bags and emigrate to the small

intestine from their main home in the large intestine.

In the small intestine, the yeast threads poke microscopic holes in the

intestinal lining. Such a phenomenon is called " leaky gut " - a superhighway to

the blood stream with nothing to block toxins trickling across the gut lining.

Instead of absorbing life-giving nutrients through an intact intestinal wall,

yeast's chemical by-products (all 180 of them), the inflammatory products they

produce, undigested food molecules, bacterial toxins, and other chemicals take a

one-way ride. The holes are not necessarily big enough to allow yeast to get

into the blood stream, so the blood is not infected with yeast, but it carries

hundreds of waste products that cause inflammation from head to toe.

When yeast, bacterial, and food toxins hit the blood stream they trigger

widespread inflammatory reactions by either directly attacking tissues or

creating allergic reactions along with the production of histamine. Some of the

yeast toxins like acetaldehyde, alcohol, zymosan, arabinitol, and gliotoxin have

been named by mycologists - people that study fungi but rarely do they extend

their discussion to the human suffering caused by these toxins. A similar lack

of attention is being paid to toxic mold that threatens the Gulf states after

the Katrina devastation. Any home still standing that was flooded will be

covered in mold, and that mold and its toxins could be deadly.

Acetaldehyde is produced when yeast digests sugar. It is a particularly potent

toxin that can damage all the tissues in the body including the brain. It is

also produced when you drink alcohol, breathe the exhaust from cars, and smoke

cigarettes. What most people don't know is that yeast also produces alcohol in

the body - enough to make some people feel drunk and give a positive reading on

a breathalyzer test. When alcohol breaks down in the body, it produces

acetaldehyde. If you have yeast overgrowth and also drink alcohol you are hit

with a double dose of acetaldehyde hangover or brain fog. In actual fact, most

people with yeast overgrowth can't touch alcohol because it makes them feel so

rotten.

Acetaldehyde readily combines with red blood cells, proteins, and enzymes;

travels to all parts of the body; and even passes through the blood brain

barrier. It damages the structure of red blood cells making them unable to

squeeze through tiny capillaries to convey oxygen to needy tissues. Acetaldehyde

also blocks the attachment of oxygen to red blood cells. Your brain uses 20

percent of all the oxygen that you inhale but stiff red blood cells cut down

that amount considerably leaving you gasping for air and feeling whoozy.

Acetaldehyde damages nerve cells, induces deficiencies of an important nerve

vitamin, B1 (thiamine), the energy and neurotransmitter vitamin, B 3 (niacin),

and vitamin B5, which is crucial for normal brain function.

Zymosan causes inflammation and has been directly associated with psoriasis.

Arabinitol attacks the immune system, nervous system, and the brain. And

gliotoxin disrupts the DNA in white blood cells killing them outright. Other

toxins account for the long list of symptoms attributed to yeast overgrowth and

that are eliminated when yeast is brought under control. Researchers have also

proven that Candida antibodies cross react with all tissues in the body that

have been tested. That type of cross reactivity sets the stage for autoimmune

disease.

Weight gain is very common in yeast overgrowth. Our bodies create pounds of

fluid retention in an attempt to dilute the inflammatory toxins that yeast

produces. Over time, tissue toxins and fluid build up lead to cellulite and

weight gain. The gas produced by yeast can cause abdominal bloating that can

increase your waist size up to six inches from one meal to the next. Antibiotics

are fed to beef cattle to increase their weight. Antibiotics given to humans can

have the same effect.

The Yeast Questions

The following questions can help you decide whether you should look further into

yeast overgrowth as a cause of your inflammation and chronic symptoms.

1. Have you taken several courses of antibiotics in the past?

2. Have you been on the birth control pill?

3. Do you react to the smell of damp moldy places?

4. Do you crave sugar and bread?

5. Do you feel drained to the point of exhaustion?

6. Do you have symptoms of intestinal gas, bloating, and cramping (IBS)?

7. Are you troubled by constant vaginal infections?

8. Are you bothered by itchy burning eyes?

What's the Cure?

The treatment for yeast does not lie in a pill as many have learned. Even if

your doctor is one of the few who recognizes yeast overgrowth, the most common

treatment recommended is a week or two of very powerful antifungal medications.

Most doctors don't understand that yeast overgrowth requires a multi-pronged

attack. Information on this approach is freely available at

www.yeastconnection.com and what follows is in a very abbreviated form.

1. Diet: avoid sugar, wheat and dairy as well as fermented foods, and alcohol. I

have found that reducing sugar intake is one of the most important ways to

control hypoglycemia, diabetes, and intestinal yeast. Reduce your sugar intake

by supplementing your tea, water, and other beverages with Stevia.

2. Probiotics (good bacteria): the best ones are acidophilus and bifidus. Obtain

products that guarantee 2-10 billion organisms per capsule to the expiry date.

3. Antifungal supplements: garlic (eat one or two cloves a day), oil of oregano

(take 2-3 capsules per day) and grapefruit seed extract (take two to three

capsules per day) or take a formula that includes caprylic acid, pau D'Arco,

black walnut, beta carotene, and biotin.

4. Exercise every day, at least 30 minutes, to move the lymph circulation that

clears toxins from the body.

5. De-stress with prayer, meditation, breathing exercises, and/or yoga to reduce

the amount of natural cortisol that stimulates yeast overgrowth.

6. Work with a caring physician. Download a comprehensive physician's packet to

take to your doctor from yeastconnection.com. The last step of the program is

prescription antifungals from your doctor, but only if you also continue steps

1-5.

It is mainly through diet and lifestyle change that you can overcome yeast

overgrowth-but you can overcome it and reduce the amount of inflammation in your

life with some effort and support.

Hi Ar

I am using d3. I seem to be tolerating cod liver oil at small doses.I am not

sure it is because of small dose or the type of D. Starting today I started

increasing cod liver oil dosage. We'll see what happens. If I get a reaction to

that than I will search for lanolin based one. Thanks for the info.I can consume

fish about once in two weeks with no problems. Would that rule out fish allergy

or could I still have it?

yes, I will also try sublingual or injection form.

I wonder why you are allergic to b vitamins. All of them? What are the

symptoms?

There are different forms of b12. methyl,cyano,hydroxy and adenosyl. Have you

tried them all? did you try injection form?

Having low b12 is not good. Hope you find a solution to this problem.

best wishes.

[Guest guest]

Hi Nil,

Yes, I've tried all B12 forms. I have different reactions to them as my

allergies and reactions are constantly revolving. The last time I received a

B12 shot, I ended up laid up on the couch with extreme exhaustion and in

tremendous pain. No more injections for me.

You can be allergic to different types of fish and not all of them, either. I'm

not allergic to tuna, yet allergic to pretty much everything else. If you are

tolerating the cod liver oil, then excellent, just keep your eyes open for

problems.

Dear Vic,

Thankyou for the info you supplied. You mentioned a supplement that contains

caprylic acid, pau D'Arco,

black walnut, beta carotene, and biotin.

Is this available in one formula. If so can you give the name please

Thanks

:

I do not remember such a supp.  It may have been in one of the articles I

posted. I do know Caprylic acid and Pau D Arco are very good yeast killers.  

Black Walnut is also known as English Walnut.  The genus, Juglans or Jovis

glans

is derived from Latin, meaning " Jupiter's nut, " another common name describing

the Walnut, as mythology tells us that the gods who resided on earth lived on

Walnuts. The name Walnut is partially derived from Teutonic words, with the

Germans calling it wallnuss.  Because Walnuts are similar to the shape of the

human head, they were historically thought to benefit the brain.  Furthermore,

in Asian medicine, Black Walnuts were regarded as a kidney tonic, following the

logic that they consider the brain to be governed by the kidneys.  Walnuts have

also been carried by some cultures as a charm for fertility.  Black Walnut

Bark,

including the kernel and the green hull, have been used by the Asians to expel

various kinds of intestinal worms, as well as by some American Indian tribes. 

A

substance taken to expel or control parasites (most often referred to as worms)

is technically called a " vermifuge. " The fruit, leaves and bark of the Black

Walnut tree offer many other benefits. Taken internally, Black Walnut helps

relieves constipation and is also useful against fungal and parasitic

infections.  It may also help eliminate warts, which are troublesome growths

caused by viruses. Rubbed on the skin, Black Walnut extract is reputed to be

beneficial for eczema, herpes, psoriasis and skin parasites. External

applications have also been known to kill ringworm.  The Chinese use it to kill

tapeworms with extremely good success.  The high tannin content is primarily

responsible for its anthelmintic property, although other constituents such as

juglandin, juglone and juglandic acid may also be involved. It is said that

Black Walnut oxygenates the blood to kill parasites.  The brown stain found in

the green husk contains organic iodine which has antiseptic and healing

properties. Black Walnut is said to have the ability to fight against fungal

infections and acts with an antiseptic property to help fight bacterial

infection. Black Walnut has also been used to balance sugar levels and burn up

excessive toxins and fatty materials.
