FUNGUS/MOLD/YEAST
Some fungi have been of benefit to humans for some time; yeasts have
given us bread, beer and cheeses. Fungi (molds) recycle garbage and
help turn dead trees back into soil for us, and some even serve as
food. Fungi have also caused problems like athlete’s foot,
allergies, serious infections and some toxic antibiotics. All
microorganisms are opportunistic, but fungi are perhaps the most. This
means that it only lives and thrives if the environment is conducive.
If you find mold under your sink but fix the leak, then mold can no
longer grow there. Fungi can only thrive in a conducive environment. A
recent study indicates that we are facing dramatic increases in
fungal-caused diseases.
In the last few years
Candida has become the "fourth most common infection acquired in
hostpitals." It was rarely seen 25 years ago.
It appears Aspergillus
caused deaths quadrupled during the 1980's and 1990's. These infections
appear to be growing continually.
A fungus known as
Cryptococcus has been causing increased infections in our Pacific
Northwest region. It was once a very rare infection, but it is now
causing enough problems so that doctors are becoming very concerned.
Histoplasma
can cause lung disease. It can get into the human white blood cells.
These white blood cells duty is to give the body immunity by destroying
encroaching cells. Yet this fungus has found a way to “get
inside the very cell that is supposed to destroy
it!”
Time magazine
said toxic mold is spreading "like some sort of biblical plague." The
New York Daily News called it "killer mold."
If your body
is host to any kind of fungal species, the deeper question is
“why?” Why has your internal environment &
immune system allowed it? And why have we humans become more and more
susceptible to fungal diseases? In Dr. DeHaan’s years of
clinical experience, he discovered that in addition to basic elements
like body pH, often there were other toxins working as precursors to
the fungi. For example, Candida only live and thrive in a body that:
- Is too acidic
and doesn't digest sugars properly.
- Already has a type of parasite that needs to be
identified.
