I heard Doug Kaufman in person (see link) this weekend. His talk was amazing. If I can get past the pain, I will type up my notes and share them here.
This is so important for everyone on this board. You cannot get over Lyme without beating the candida. Taking long term antibiotics WILL GIVE YOU candida.
Some of the things I learned about Candida/yeast will blow your minds. There is a lot of talk about mycotoxins here, but most are not getting the connection with mycotoxins and YEAST.
Fungus lacks chlorophyll. Survives by eating dead or decaying cells. Can parasitize humans. Fungi and human cells together . . The fungi begins taking charge. Fungi produce MYCOTOXINS. Candida albicans produces the toxin gliotoxin.
Aspergillus and penicillin also make gliotoxin. Mycotoxins can produce illness and death. They are also immuno-suppressive. They are heat stable. THEY SURVIVE THE AUTO-CLAVE! Doug refuses to get a colonoscopy due to that reason. Fungi cause cancer. Antibiotics are mycotoxins. All cancers are thought to be caused by genetic mutations. (fungi can cause mutations)
The science of genetics was created to make new drugs. Uric acid is a mycotoxin and mycotoxins cause genetic damage. Ascospore sacs (ascomycete) formed by the fungal and human cell merging. It's a hybrid. Gene fusion causes a hybrid gene. Could this be cancer? (Milton White, MD)
Cancer is a hybrid. Forget the mammograms! Avoid the radiation. Human and fungal DNA fuses to create cancer. Mycotoxin-induced cancer.
Exposure to fungus:
1. Through the skin 2. Inhalation 3. Diet 4. Medications
Sporothrix schencki grows on thorns of rose bushes. Can infect lungs, joints, bones or brain. (sporotrichosis)
Corn, peanuts, and cotton seriously full of aspergillus -- carcinogen. Avoid moldy tampons!! Women have been known to find tampons full of mold. (cotton is full of mold) They are terribly contaminated with aspergillus and mycotoxins.
Alcoholism is caused by yeast in the gut. Diet high in what feeds yeast/fungus causes cravings for alcohol. American grain supply is contaminated with mycotoxins. Butter is anti-fungal. Greens offset the damage of grains. Zearalenone and ochratoxin, aflatoxin in grains. Brewer's yeast is a fungus.
Beta-glucan .. Good for you.
Fungal prostatitis elevates PSA levels. Use Nizoral to lower PSA!! The PSA test determines the presence of 5 molds. It is not even an accurate cancer test. PSA is 3.8% accurate! The inventor of the PSA test is about to blow the whistle on this test being used for cancer. (not designed for that!) Richard Albin was the inventor of the test. Look for new tests to be coming out in the near future!

Once one is off abx and then treats for candida, can one return to eating like they used to.
I doubt I will ever return to a lot of foods, but I really miss fruit and the occasional desert.

I did to some extent, but it ran me into trouble. I did plenty of cheating and I wasn't careful enough. So BE CAREFUL! Keep it under control DURING Lyme treatment.
Be sure to take probiotics for life (like everyone in the world should.)

Don't believe there is a connection between candida and all cancer.
H. pylori is bacteria and linked to stomach cancer.
Edited this because brain not firing on all cylinders earlier.
But, also, we do not know all the ways that environmental effects can cause epigenetic changes that might be linked to cancer.

Perhaps no connection to a brain cancer or melanoma.

I have heard various theories on what type of infections can cause cancer. IMHO, ANY infection can cause cancer if the circumstances are right for that to happen (i.e., body ecology/pH/etc.).

Doug Kaufman said a woman who had gone through chemotherapy told him that the nurses would bring them Twinkies and cokes during the treatment. (not always, I'm sure)

Perhaps this should have its own thread, but here is some info on GENETICS versus ENVIRONMENT when it comes to breast cancer. (with implications for all cancers)
Tobacco leaves are dipped in a sugar solution. That is what causes cancer. Roll your own tobacco!
Fungal sacs do not need oxygen. Histoplasmosis coexists with many cancers.
The doctor will say it's leukemia, but is it? "High carbohydate diet increases risk of breast cancer." -- International Journal of Cancer -- 2009
Anti-fungals can stop matastasis. Stops the growth of new blood cells. --Johns Hopkins Med. School 2007
Sea Gate brand shark cartilage
Sporanox helps advanced prostate cancer. Fungi can cause a number of life-threatening diseases. Calcium channel blocker drugs are anti-fungal. So is tomoxifen, SSRI's, Gout meds. Psyllium is anti-fungal. Spices, zinc, garlic, cinnamon, lemon oil, probiotics, fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
Biblical references to yeast: I Corinthians 5:6-8, Leviticus (32 references), Galatians 5:9
Mice do not get diabetes. We inject mold into mice to give them diabetes. Type II diabetes is something we can induce. Can we induce Type I?? Can we change that genetic cause? Fungus can imitate diabetes. Skews the tests.
Thyroid problems -- Try the Phase I diet!
Hearing loss -- yeast puts pressure on the eardrum. Acoustic neurona.

When the immune system is involved with cancer, Yeast (Candida)becomes secondary to this . It is a result ,not a cause.
This is what happened to me ; Although thrush was a symptom prior to cancer being diagnosed it cleared after the cancer was cured. With lyme involved with the immune system, yeast will resolve after clearance of the bacterial infection.
Everyone has candida , It's when the immune system is compromised that candida takes hold.

I say it's a result in MANY cases. I wish I could have written down all the medical references he had in a power point presentation. I just couldn't write that fast.

The points made in the natural news link you posted confirm what has been said about cancer of many kinds: Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger. Having a certain gene mutation can make a person more susceptible to adverse environmental effects.
The question in my mind is how much of the epigenetic effects from those environmental things can then be reversed. One very smart researcher found a drug that would do this, only to find out in clinical trials that the drug affected other areas adversely. So, it is going to be more complicated.
And I am suspicious of anyone who claims diet and supplements can cure cancers. It is not that simple.

I think his point is more about PREVENTION, not cure. AND .. he believes that many tests for cancer are invalid. How many times have you heard someone say they were told they had cancer, treated for it and found out later they didn't really have it? (read my notes about the PSA!)
He does not claim his diet cures anything. But going on the diet could prevent cancer and improve your chances of a cure if you do get it.

I think Doc Dave has it more accurate; I forgot to mention the effect Candida has by blocking certain components of the immune system thereby preventing successful Lyme treatment.
See his post here on the forum, It's the most informative I've ever seen on Candida (stymielymie )

I use something else to treat the candida in the gut but Im not allowed to talk about it here on this forum.

Our "Good guys" (destroyed by abx.) are needed to make vitamin K too...
Look very closely at K2, not vitamin K alone, or K1, but K2 and how it keeps our arteries healthy and our bones strong.

I didn't do the test right.
I have to try it again tomorrow.
Way too much spit.
And I thought the test was for three minutes...not an hour...so I dumped it after three minutes.

You should be able to tell somewhat within a few minutes.

Well it's hard to say.
It was about a teaspoon of spit. So as soon as I spit, most of it sank, some of it stayed on the top.
There was just one straight line from the sunken piece to the floating piece.
After a few minutes, the floating piece moved to the side of the glass-the string broke.
There was just the bottom sunken bit and the floating bit after a while.
No strings coming from either or floaty bits or cloudiness.
But I think there was too much spit to start with. I saved up quite a bit.
Yuck! Sorry for the details!

yes, mycotoxins can cause illness and death as well as depression.. and depression leads to other problems.

Tutu, I've always had it in the back of my mind since I started my education on this mess.
I've often felt cancer was many times something that the lab/doctors/tests showed shouldn't be in that place in the body.
Yes, I myself had a spot on one of my breasts years ago on mammogram. Scary days. I went back so they could twist, turn, squeeze that breast from everyway they could to get a better picture of that site.
I knew it was ok. I actually felt they had found a colony of parasites? A colony of some bacteria, a mass of bio-films, whatever you want to call them.
A endro also found a spot on my thyroid during ultra sound. She said it's not cancer, that I can tell. She measured it and told me to have it measured again to make sure it's not growing.
That test was done 3 weeks ago and I need to see my PCP to compare the 2. Again I feel that was just another group of bad guys.
My thyroid is dead. Has no blood flow to it. So if I was a smart bacteria, it would be a great hiding place. No oxegen, safe and sound environment for them.
As far as candida and yeast....6 mths ago when I started Berberine I experienced a major herx, healing crises for 3 weeks after I started low dosages of Berberine.
I truly felt due to symtpoms that it was a major die of of candida/yeast.
I would bet the house if I was to have a major scan/picture of my entire body, head everything....that there would be many more clusters of unknowns in my scan.
If we find out that cancer is sometimes something other than what the AMA, NIH, our gov has been telling us for 60++ years.
This is going to be a medical establishment vs patients WAR. Cancer tx is deadly. Some folks are blessed to survive what they do to them.
TG so many survivie. But in my personal experience if I was to find out my 42 yr old BIL, MIL, FIL died withing 5 yrs of each other due to STUPIDTIY!!!!!
All 3 of them had major dental issues prior to finding cancer in them. I don't believe in coincidences.

- Because if someone before you has/had a Candida or fungal infection it will spread to YOU. "Survive the auto-clave" means the instruments are not sterilized. Can you imagine the implications of that?

I agree, Pam. There's a lot of funky stuff going on with cancer diagnosis these days. I really would have to have about 4 opinions before going on chemo myself.
The new CT scans, etc are SO sensitive that they pick up any and every thing. I have a cyst on my kidney that they told me not to worry about and I have a granuloma on my lung that I'm not supposed to worry about. So guess what, I'm NOT going to worry! Thirty years ago, those things would never have been found.

many lumps in the breast are merely cystic breast disease. Lumps in the thyroid are often cysts caused by iodine deficiency. Ive been through this , had sonogarams, saw all the specialists including a thyroid specialist. He said the lumps, two of them in the thyroid would never go away but he would gladly cut them out if they bothered me.
Iodine supplementation got rid of all of it, high dosages for the first 2 months or so. No cysts in my thyroid anymore, breasts cysts are history.

A thermomgraphy of the breast is the safest choice for diagnostics. It it comes up positive follow with a sonogram. I hate mammograms and discourge them. They cause more cancer and false positives than they are worth.

Sounds like the best thing you can do is to NOT spike your blood sugar, don't ingest things you're sensitive to like gluten, sugar, casein, figure out what CAUSES the inflammation and then eliminate those.
Maybe add some celtic sea salt in water each time you drink.. and then RIFE!
