New Weapon in War Against Candida:

Written by on

Niacinamide has been discovered to have some incredible anti-fungal activity against candida, folks over at the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) of the University of Montreal discovered.

Otherwise known as vitimin B3, this is quite exciting, as it’s a water soluble vitamin for which fairly substantial doses seem to be able to be taken without side effects.

Niacin itself likely will not produce the same anti-candida effect.

But nor will niacinamide offer the benefits of niacin, namely that of reducing cholesterol levels, which it is commonly used for.

We also avoid the “flush” effect…whereby the skin turns red, itchy and hot…with niacinamide.

This is also a relatively inexpensive…heck, outright “cheap” in comparison to other…supplement and has been sitting there on our grocery store shelves all these many years, candida sufferers walking right past it, never knowing that it can debilitate candida’s ability to reproduce and form biofilms, as well as mess with it’s DNA structure to the point of drastically reducing its viability.

Wow.

I would try it at low doses and slowly work my way up, and make sure I had a high quality whole food vitamin/mineral to help offset any potential micronutrient “robbing” that may happen when we take isoated vitamins like this.

More Support Against Sugar:

I have been discussing as a focus in the FacelessFatloss program the absolute need to tone down sugars.  We are overloaded with them in the western diet, and the over-exposure has been, for a long time, destroying our health and making us fat as hell.

As I’ve said countless times, sugar/glucose is a must for survival and healthy brain/muscle function.

The problem is, most people equate sugar to the white stuff they put in their coffee and on their sugar (yuk on both counts personally) oblivious to the abundance of it in nearly ALL our food products on a scale never before seen.

Also: not simply “sugar”…the all-important new plague, that of high-fructose corn sugar.

And yes, I’m aware of the corn syrup ads that claim with the happy-shiny-people-faces that it’s just fine for us…

…in a sense, they’re almost right…

…the problem is, what they are OMITTING that is causing all the problem:

That of MASSIVE over-consumption, that people are simply NOT AWARE OF.

As I’ve also said, a “calorie is not a calorie.”  The new studies agree with me on this, but I never needed them to prove it; it’s common sense and self-evident.

Let’s not forget the aside: that almost all HFCS comes straight from GMO corn. 

Frankenstein corn.

Animals avoid GMO foods almost 100% of the time when given the choice.

Their inherent knowledge and sense of nature tells them, “this food is a mutated monster…no thanks.”

And I won’t reference the speculation regarding what some GMO foods are capable of.

So we’re combining both huge over-consumption of sugars, with huge consumption of Frankenstein cereal, which, by the way, a couple multi-national corporations are tying to patent and own exclusively as food products that only they can offer seeds to grow, food to produce.

I don’t know  about you, but something sounds more than a little corrupt about such an idea.

P.S. Need I reference insulin resistance or cancer tumors being fed by sugar?  Enough said?…(I hope?)

I Would Refuse Chemo/Radiation if I had Cancer:

Written by on

I was asked recently how I have so much info pertaining to how to manage and possibly heal various illnesses and conditions…have I dealt with all of these things myself?

In short, the answer is:

“Yes.”

I’ve been through the ringer in my life.  I don’t complain about it, nor talk about it, because I know there are those who have suffered more than I.

But it’s been about enough for one lifetime.

And one just never thinks, as they’re growing up pain-and-disease-free, that something terrible can happen, that will stick, that won’t go away, and that saps the quality of life from you for a substantial amount of time.

It was in large part conventional medicine…modern doctors…that caused an increase in the pain and illness that I was dealing with which before seeing them was not hurting me terribly, and after taking their advice escalating it into something that was profoundly painful, for a long time, and for which they did not understand.

I learned a lesson.  Unquestionably one of, if not “the” biggest lesson of my life.

And I try hard to not “hate” western medicine for what it did to me.

My current stance is that it’s good for trauma care at most…and should not be used for anything outside of that.

Due to my past illness, I came very close to having cancer.  I was twice in two “pre-cancerous” states whereby if I had a typical lifestyle, typical western diet, I most likely would have lost my life by now to the disease.

So when people suggest that I would change my mind, and opt for chemical therapy or radiation to manage a cancerous condition, I can assure them with 100% certainty, that I would definitely not.  

Not a chance.

Not out of anger or spite, I would not play with my own life that way.

But instead, because I know that destroying my immune system, or building up a toxic load, is not in my body’s best interest when fighting disease.

And I do not know of a single cancer treatment approach by western medicine that does not involve burdening the body with a toxic load.

Hence their use of the word “treatment,” and not “cure.”

They will treat me, but not cure me.

I prefer the way I “treat” myself.

And I am getting to know more and more people opting for alternative remedies, and if not outright surviving long-term, at least buying themselves lots of extra time, with quality of life intact, where it likely would not be with typical western treatments.

I’d explore high dose vitamin C, colloidal silver, blood electrification, oxygenation and free radical control, rife technology, Qi Gong, and others, all of which I already have experience with, and experienced more benefits than herxing from each.

I’ll take the alternative approach simply based on experience:

Western medicine made my life miserable and almost killed me.

Alternative medicine improved my health and brought back my quality of life.

The choice is easy.
