In my continuing efforts to maintain the educational basis of this newsletter, I know that you’ll love this issue.
Many of you have commented on a new KNOW THIS contributor, Luke Curtis, M.D., C.I.H. The “CIH” credentials indicate that Dr. Curtis is a “Certified Industrial Hygienist." This, coupled with his medical doctorate degree, makes Dr. Curtis one of only a few American physicians capable of speaking intelligently on whether or not “the cause” is fungus.
I, for one, am so sick of hearing that “the cause” of asthma is cockroaches, (I kid you not, as seemingly credible science has proposed this for many years!), that I’ve asked Dr. Curtis to offer you an overview of the health problems that present when you ingest mycotoxins and/or inhale mold. Many who inhale mold have asthma, yet so few asthmatics, in my estimation, bend down far enough regularly to sniff cockroaches. It would be my guess that IF cockroaches cause asthma, then their little hard-shelled bodies must have dipped into the mold somewhere in the kitchen, thereby contaminating the air with mold that induces asthma symptoms. Just a guess, of course!
Dr. Lynn Jennings offers a fascinating look into the life of a woman whose world changed right in Dr. Jennings’ office. This is a must read for all of you who still find this mold problem a bit too difficult to comprehend. It’s real as Dr. Jennings attests.
Kyle Drew…what can be said that hasn’t been said already about Kyle Drew? Once a pharmaceutical chemotherapy salesman, his is a story of realization and change. Each of Kyle’s articles challenges us to remember the acronym FUPO, (Fungus Until Proven Otherwise).
As though we really required more examples of the fungal cause of cancer, last month while perusing the scientific literature, I found a compelling story, the middle of which yet again confirms the fungal etiology to cancer. Researchers at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan have discovered that cancer cells from the “bulb” of the tumors being removed from a patient sometimes become deposited where the patient is being sewn up! According to Medical News Today’s synopsis, these deposited cancer cells “stick to the cells at the site of the surgical wound and go on to form a secondary tumor, having an enormous negative impact on the survival and quality of life of the patient.” If nothing else, does this not absolutely prove the infectious nature of cancer? Of course, since bacteria, virus and fungus have been previously ruled out as etiologic factors of cancer, most researchers would never look at this data and question whether or not cancer is an infection.
But wait, there’s more!
This same article offers a pharmaceutical drug, (of course!), that actually prevents cancer cells from infecting post-surgical sites. Ironically, an older gout medication called Colchicine inhibited cancer cells from infecting the surgical site on the mice studied after surgical completion. World Health Organization (WHO) physician, A.V. Costantini, M.D., has published that Colchicine has antifungal activity. It should surprise no one that gout is a fungal disease, but it still surprises many that my bold assertion of the fungal cause of cancer, made decades ago, continues to be confirmed. But as far as I am concerned, exoneration does not occur when doctors accept, rather when their patients benefit.
Until next month, please drop into my website often and tell all of your loved ones that my show can now be seen daily on the website any time that is convenient to them.
Let the education continue!
