I t is not unreasonable to imagine a scenario where a gay man, having contacted an STD or two in a 6 month period, is dosed with potent antibiotic therapy. He isn't advised to balance the deleterious impact of the good bacteria-killing antibiotic, and hence develops a candida problem.

As the yeast matures unchecked in the gut, it sends roots (hyphae) into the tissue and this eventually causes tears in the lining of his gut (remember IBS - irritable bowel syndrome right before the dawn of 'GRID / AIDS'?) and reduces his body's ability to digest nutrients.

Add to that a parasite like cryptospordium and this individual would exhibit all the classic "signs of AIDS" - weight loss, night sweats, persistent diarrhea. Further eroding the digestive capacity and compounded by candida overgrowth parasitic infections are easily caught during certain sex acts. Rimming, much to the dismay and disbelief of gay men, is a sure-fire way to catch a parasite.

Unless John Doe received rapid treatment with lactobcillus, bifida, raw wheat germ, plenty of water, and careful management of his nutrient, electrolyte, sugar, alcohol, and antioxidant intake, this person would have little chance of survival.

Modern western medicine says that thrush, or the overgrowth of the fungal stage of a yeast, Candida albicans, is caused by HIV. In fact, most of the literature from the AIDS industry will tell you that manifestations of this yeast / fungus is the first sign of AIDS. Nonsense.

Indeed, an HIV test may be positive for our John Doe, but this is no surprise because HIV tests are nonspecific, and a candida infection would likely be reactive in an ELISA or Western Blot test due to the presence of the protein particle p24 (see genome chart).

In a recent study, 100% of autopsies performed on "AIDS patients" revealed fatal levels of the fungal form of Candida albicans, the form the yeast takes as it develops unchecked by missing lactobacillus and bifidum bacterias, killed off by antibiotics.

In fact, Candida, and interestingly, another fungal infection, pneumocystis pneumonia, were the ailments afflicting 100% of tthe patients Dr. Michael Gottlieb reported to the CDC. It was this report that the CDC used as kindling for the fire that would become HIV/AIDS.

Is this mere coincidence or is it possible that Robert Gallo missed the true cause of AIDS? If 100% of the "first 5" reported by Dr. Gottlieb had the p24 antigen and Candida infections, why wasn't a direct causal connection between fungal infections and AIDS made? Why instead was a "probable" cause announced - a collection of p24 and other proteins - named HTLV, or HIV, that only 37% of the AIDS patient blood samples had?

Excerpts from Candida & Dysbiosis

By Walter Last - (Australia)
(References)

Lack of energy and digestive disturbances, arthritic joint pains, skin disease, menstrual problems, emotional instability and depression. All symptoms of what I call the 'antibiotic syndrome' which have greatly increased in frequency in recent years.

On further examination, more symptoms may be discovered. Most of the gastro-intestinal tract is tender when pressed, especially the small intestine, liver and gall bladder. There may even have been a gall bladder operation that failed to improve the condition, sometimes even worsening the symptoms.

There could be a history of thrush or oral, anal or vaginal itching. When these are present the diagnosis of Candida is obvious but it may also be present in the absence of these manifestations and that can be somewhat confusing.

The yeast or fungus Candida albicans, of course, thrives during antibiotic treatment. I regard it as reckless negligence to prescribe antibiotics without simultaneous fungicides and replacement therapy with lactobacilli afterwards. I believe that this practice has greatly added to our vast pool of a chronically sick population.

However, the 'antibiotic syndrome' is not just due to Candida. I regard it more generally as a 'dysbiosis' where the wrong kind of microbes inhabit the intestinal tract, not just Candida and other fungi, but many types of pathogenic bacteria including coli bacteria which are normal in the colon but become disease-forming when they ascend into the small intestine.

If the problem has existed for years, there is usually a lack of gastric acid which then allows the stomach to be colonised by microbes, causing inflammation with pain and later, ulcers. The toxins released by the microbial overpopulation cause in addition chronic inflammation of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas and intestines. I regard it as rather likely that a chronic inflammation of the pancreas is a major contributing factor in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes.

Bacterial attack

Specific types of pathogenic bacteria appear to cause or contribute to specific auto-immune diseases. One variety of coli bacteria, for instance, produces a molecule that is very similar to insulin. When the immune system becomes activated against this molecule it may then also attack related features at the beta cells of the pancreas

Another type of bacteria, Yersinia enterocolitica, induces an immune response that attacks the thyroid gland and leads to Grave's disease with a serious overproduction of thyroid hormones.

Ulcerative colitis is linked to overgrowth with pathogenic microbes, the same as Crohn's disease, osteoporosis and ankylosing spondylitis. In ankylosing spondylitis the vertebra of the spine fuse together causing stiffness and pain. Other joints may in time become affected.

Klebsiella, another type of pathogenic bacteria, produces a molecule that is similar to a tissue type found in people with this disease. When klebsiella numbers in the gut decrease, related antibodies in the blood decrease and the condition improves.

Rheumatoid arthritis is linked to other bacteria, called proteus. Proteus is also a common cause of urinary tract infections. Women suffer urinary tract infections as well as rheumatoid arthritis twice as often as men, while men usually have higher levels of klebsiella and three times more ankylosing spondylitis than women.

In addition microbial overgrowth dam ages the intestinal wall so that only partly digested food particles can pass into the bloodstream, causing allergies. In this way all auto-immune diseases can be linked to food allergies.

While rheumatoid arthritis is a frequent feature of the antibiotic syndrome, and I regard it as relatively easy to cure, not many sufferers of this disease seem to be interested in this natural approach. The other day a young man with severe rheumatoid arthritis knocked at my door to collect money for a medically sponsored walkathon. When I told him that I do not give money for drug treatment as it can be overcome with natural therapies, he shouted: 'You are mad!' and left visibly upset.

Other auto-immune diseases that have so far been linked to dysbiosis are psoriasis, lupus erythematosus and pancreatitis. When remedies are given that bind bacterial endotoxins, these conditions usually improve. A further consequence of dysbiosis is susceptibility to food poisoning as with salmonella bacteria, while a healthy intestinal flora prevents these from multiplying and causing trouble.

Staphylococcus aureus or golden staph cause serious infections in hospital patients. It has been found that not only golden staph but also other infections are greatly potentised when they occur with a Candida overgrowth. As Candida overgrowth is a natural outcome of the standard hospital treatment, it is easy to see why golden staph is so deadly in hospitals.

A similar picture emerges with AIDS. People do not die from the AIDS virus but from Candida-potentised bacterial infections. I also see the antibiotic-induced dysbiosis in babies and infants as the main cause of their frequent infections, glue ear and greatly contributing to cot death.

While it used to be uncommon for children to have more than one or two infections a year, now more than six is the norm.

In the 1940's Candida was found in only three per cent of autopsies, now the figure is nearer thirty per cent. There are, of course, other factors that can cause dysbiosis - the contraceptive pill, steroids and other drugs, radiation treatment and chemotherapy - but the main culprit is, without doubt, antibiotics.
