The numbers related to those who are diagnosed with cancer and who die from it are sickening, to the point that cancer is on the doorstep of knocking out heart disease as the number one killer in the United States. It is estimated approximately that 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with some type of cancer, and recent data shows that cancer claims at least 576,691 people per year, or nearly 23% of ALL deaths.
There are very few common threads among experts on what causes cancer, aside from obvious lifestyle choices like smoking and alcohol. However, to think cancer is largely caused by one thing is a bit too simplistic…or is it? Turns out, it may not be that complicated. Cancer develops from fungal infections, like candida.
A simple fungal infection can cause cancer
According to The Home Medical Encyclopedia, in 1963 about 50% of all Americans suffered from an “unrecognized” systemic fungal infection. These infections can be brought on by many different factors that alter the optimal state of our intestinal ecology, most notably antibiotics, birth control pills, excessive processed sugar and grain consumption, heavy metal contamination, xenoestrogens, alcohol, smoking, and chronic stress. These factors, in combination with diets severely deficient in active enzymes and probiotics, have paved the way for the most prevalent fungal infection to take over, Candida albicans.
But how does a fungal problem like Candida lead to an eventual cancer diagnosis?
According to Dr. Robert Young:
“Bacteria, yeast/fungi, and mold are not the cause of a cancerous condition but are the result and the evidence of cells and tissues biologically transforming from a healthy state into an unhealthy state.” Dr. Young astutely observed that, “over-acidification of the body leads to the development of chronic yeast and fungal infections and ultimately a cancerous condition of the cells and tissues.”
Further backing this theory is the understanding that yeasts like Candida are anaerobes – which means they generate their energy in the absence of oxygen. Once in the blood stream, they can colonize in certain areas of the body and dramatically reduce oxygen levels. This results in local cells switching their energy system from oxygen based to one that doesn’t use oxygen. This is the system used by cancer cells, which do not use oxygen to generate their energy. Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize in 1931 for informing the world of this property of cancer cells and that oxygen was their enemy!
It has also been shown that beneficial bacteria in your intestine are known to direct up to 85 per cent of your immune response, to release anti-cancer vitamins (like biotin, B-12, folic acid, and vitamin K) from your foods and even to produce a compound (sodium butyrate), which causes cancer cells to self-destruct. Beneficial bacteria don’t work well if the acidity of the gut increases, and they will be severely impaired in their anti-cancer function if you have a systemic Candida infection.
The Mayo clinic has also confirmed that cancer is a fungus, can be caused by a fungus, or is accompanied by late stage fungal infections. Johns Hopkins found that the drug itraconazole, commonly used to treat toenail fungus, can also block angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels commonly seen in cancers which allow metastases (spreading of cancer throughout the body) to occur.

Taken antibiotics (or any other prescription medication)
Used birth control pills
Eaten non-organic foods, high in sugars, grains (especially gluten) and starches (like potatoes)
Have metal dental fillings and have been vaccinated (exposed to mercury)
Consumed foods and beverages out of plastic containers
Drank beer, wine, or hard alcohol regularly
Consumed caffeine on a daily basis
Smoked cigarettes
Live with chronic underlying stress
Any ONE of these things can facilitate Candida overgrowth, and in many cases people are dealing with at least 2 or 3 of these from their history. It’s important to note that a systemic Candida infection is not a quick fix, so recent changes in your lifestyle are not likely to have completely reversed the problem. It can take years of a lifestyle change that completely avoids the factors listed above (and more) and a diet rich in enzyme and probiotic rich foods to completely eliminate Candida.
Not only that, but the extensive list of daily habits that can cause cancer are also responsible for beating up the digestive system, allowing Candida to settle in. These daily habit include:
X-rays
Sunlight ultraviolet rays (excess)
EMF exposure
Ionizing, microwave oven, and nonionizing radiation from domestic appliances
Overhead power lines
Nuclear radiation
Pesticides and herbicides
Industrial toxins
Drinking or bathing in polluted, chlorinated, or fluoridated water
Smoking
Hormonal therapies
Immune suppressive drugs
Consuming irradiated foods and food additives
Mercury toxicity
Dental fillings, root canals, cavitations and metals
Use of street, prescription and non-prescription drugs
Nutritional deficiencies
Consumption of synthetic ‘foods’
Chronic stress
Negative emotions
Depressed thyroid
Intestinal toxicity
Parasites
Viral, bacterial, and fungal infections
Blocked detoxification pathways
Genetic predisposition
Physical irritants (e.g. asbestos)
Alcohol consumption
Now you can start to appreciate why cancer is so rampant and why a fundamental change in your lifestyle is often required in order to ward off and reverse cancer.
If you want to avoid the runaway train that is cancer, there is not doubt that you need to at least avoid a Candida overgrowth. To understand the symptoms, do a simple at home test, and get advice on how to get it under control, check out Candida Infection? Try the Spit Test!
