Medical Profession’s Refusal to Consider Fungus as Cause.

My doctor, when I tried to explain to her that all my symptoms seemed to be candida/fungus-based, told me “if you had a systemic candida overgrowth condition…you would be dead.”

And she is right.

With enough candida floating around in the system, I would indeed be dead.  Systemic candidiasis is a common symptom of people suffering with severe disease, such as AIDS.

But exactly how much causes death, and how much creates all the other potential symptoms…the list of which is very long…to make the condition a treatable one?

After all:

When they prescribe antibiotics to help kill off a bacterial infection, it is with the idea that there is not so much of this bacteria present that it is killing the patient.  Instead, it is creating an uncomfortable array of symptoms, that once the bacteria is killed, will go away.

The problem with this course of action is the obvious fact that using antibiotics to kill bacteria in the body, will also kill the good bacteria, creating a probable imbalance in the gut between the yeasts and healthy bacteria content that makes up our immune system.

What if this large portion of our immune system…in the gut…is responsible for most of the body’s level of health?

We depend upon some of the bacterial strains in our gut to effectively keep our immune system operating, and destroying any of a range of potential pathogens that could make us sick.

But despite this well-established notion that most of our immune system is in our gut…and that when we take antibiotics, that enter our gut, and kill pathogens as well as healthy flora…the same doctors that prescribe these drugs that destroy this ecosystem in our bodies will not consider that the very environment they may be feeding…one of an imbalance and over abundance of fungus…may be contributing to a myriad of other symptoms that people experience afterwards, as if from cause and effect.

Why?

I am not claiming anything.

I am simply asking you to question WHY.
