Know The Cause

I just found this website after doing some research on Leukemia and it's relationship to fungal infections. I thought some of you might find it interesting and informative.

I have no affiliation with this site. Let me know if this is inappropriate...

I think it's just fine, Ken. :) It looks really interesting.

Here's the link--

Ken,

Know the cause covers one aspect of disease and that's fungus. For most of us it is multifactoral.

Gluten is a problem for many and it seems to be growing for some reason. Years ago, one never heard of this problem.

Heavy metals can also be a serious concern and has to be dealt with before one can have complete health.

The continuing condition of gmos without testing on the market can cross contaminate many foods that people can be sensitive to and not even realize that they are at risk.

Terrible practices in the mass production of animals and animal products have seriously affected the quality of the food from many aspects.

One should keep trying and explore all possibilities. If you can find a doctor willing to be open to helping you get well that is an added bonus.

When I first realized gluten was a problem for me and my conditions improved after having gone gluten free I was like an Evangelist singing the praises of the gluten-free lifestyle. After suffering with fatigue and continued occassional bowel problems I went to a Functional Medicine specialist. He was the one who did a saliva test and discovered that I was riddled with Candida. I went on the anit-fungals and the diet and presto - I'm 98% fixed.

I'm realizing now, after some experimentation, that gluten is not my real problem. Leaky Gut is my real problem. I would have argued to the death a year ago that gluten intolerance and Celiac were the same thing. Today I feel differently although I haven't worked it all out for myself yet.

This experience has taught me to put everything possible on my radar screen and to think of all human diseases in a new way.

There is a family in town that has 4 young children like we do. One of the children is Autistic and the youngest was just diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. I started googling and unbelievably discovered relatively strong links to both cancer and autism with fungi.

The town I live in is a coastal marsh town in Northern Massachusetts. There are only 3000 of us here. The town is noted by some to have a high rate of cancer. I know of at least one other person to suffer with systematic candida in this town. My intuition is telling me there could be a link.

Here is where I think gluten, corn, soy etc come into play. I believe that these foods that are grown the way you describe carry the fungus. Now that are diets are so radically different than they were just 50 years ago we are seeing all of these problems. So which is it, wheat carrying fungus causing candida and leaky gut causing gluten intolerance or the other way around? Kinda the chicken or the egg argument. Where does heavy metal toxicity come into play and for how many of us.

I am personally doing very very well. I began swimming again this week and have already logged more than 10k yards. Having lost 40 pounds and having new energy I have to say it was almost easy.

I am seeing an alternative practitioner for colon hydrotherapy next week. This will be my first time :o Wish me luck...

Ken,

This is so true. I started the struggle with fungus, then heavy metals, and now the gluten focus. I feel so much better and I can tell that healing is taking place. I've learned so much in the 8 years that I have been changing my lifestyle and way of doing things that I will never go back. It is the only way to stay well over the long haul.

I really believe that given the right circumstances, the body CAN heal and come back to health.

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
