My idea is that cancer doesn’t depend on mysterious causes (genetic, immunological or auto immunological as the official oncology proposes, but it comes down from a simple fungal infection, whose destroying power in the deep tissues is actually under estimated.
Premise
The present work is based on the conviction, supported by many years of observations, comparisons and experiences, that the necessary and sufficient cause of the tumour is to be sought in the vast world of the fungi, the most adaptable, aggressive and evolved micro-organisms known in nature.
I have tried many times to explain this theory to leading institutions involved in cancer issues (the Ministry of Health, the Italian Medical Oncological Association, etc.) elaborating on my thinking, but I have been brushed aside because of the impossibility of setting my idea in a conventional context.
A different, international audience represents the possibility of sharing a view about health, which differs, from what is widely accepted by today’s medical community, either officially or from the sidelines.
There is an opposition between the allopathic and the Hippocratic medical ideal. The former has the disadvantage of its inability to consider the individual as a whole. Therefore it brings with it all the distortions and aberrations which such a point of view entails (excessive specialisation, therapeutic aggressiveness, superficiality, harmfulness etc.). The latter approach instead tends in the direction of being too generic, non-scientific, and devoid of therapeutic incisiveness.
The position that I promote represents instead a meeting point of these two conceptions of health, since, from the conceptual point of view, it sublimates and adds value to both, while highlighting how they both are victims of a common conformist language.
The hypothesis of a fungal aetiology in chronic-degenerative illness, able to connect the ethical qualities of the individual with the development of specific pathologies, reconciles the two orientations (allopathic and holistic) of medicine. The hypothesis is a strong candidate for being that missing element of psychosomatics that has been sought but never found by one of the fathers of psychosomatics, Wiktor Von Weiszäcker.
In considering the biological dimensions of the fungi, for instance, it is possible to compare the different degrees of pathogenicity in relation to the condition of organs, tissues and cells of a guest organism, which in turn also and especially depend on the behaviour of the individual.
Each time the recuperative abilities of a known psycho-physic structure are exceeded, there is an inevitable exposure, even considering possible accidental cofounders, to the aggression — even at the smallest dimensions — of those external agents that otherwise would be harmless.
In the presence of an indubitable connection between patient morale and disease it is no longer legitimate to separate the two domains (allopathic and naturopathic) which are both indispensable for improving the health of individuals.
The Platonic separation of the human mind from the human body, responsible for the present mechanistic and materialistic character of today’s medicine, is outdated. So is the pessimistic Kantian position concerning integration of the rational and emotional sides of man (“the starred sky above me, the moral law within me”), which generates the present myopia of today’s medical epistemology. With such outdated cognitive frameworks inevitably come all the mindsets that carry similar restrictive and limiting presuppositions.
Candida Albicans: Necessary and Sufficient Cause of Cancer
When facing the most pressing contemporary medical problem, cancer, the first thing to do is to admit that we still do not know its real cause. However treated in different ways by both official and alternative medicine, an aural of mystery still exists around its real generative process.
The attempt to overcome the present impasse must therefore and necessarily go through two separate phases: a critical one that exposes the present limitations of oncology, and a constructive one capable of proposing a therapeutic system based on a new theoretical point of departure.
In agreement with the most recent formulation of scientific philosophy, which suggests a counter-inductive approach where it is impossible to find a solution with the conceptual tools that are commonly accepted, only one logical formulation emerges; that is, to refuse the oncological principle which assumes cancer is generated by acellular reproductive anomaly.
However, if the fundamental hypothesis of cellular reproductive anomaly is questioned, it becomes clear that all the theories based on this hypothesis are inevitably flawed.
It follows that both an auto-immunological process, in which the body’s defence mechanisms against external agents turn their destructive capacity against internal constituents of the body, and an anomaly of the genetic structure implicated in the development of auto-destruction, are inevitably disqualified.
Moreover, the common attempt to construct theories about multiple causes that have an oncogenic effect on cellular reproduction sometimes seems like a concealing screen, behind which there is nothing but a wall. These theories propose endless causes that are more or less associated with each other; and this means in reality that no valid causes are found. The invocation in turn of smoking, alcohol, toxic substances, diet, stress, psychological factors, etc., without a properly defined context, causes confusion and resignation, and creates even more mystification around a disease which may turn out to be simpler than it is depicted to be.
As background information, it is important to review the picture of presumed genetic influences in the development of cancer processes as they are depicted by molecular biologists. These are the scientists who perform research on infinitesimally small cellular mechanisms, but who in real life never see a patient. All present medical systems are based on this research, and thus, unfortunately, all therapies currently performed.
The main hypothesis of a genetic neoplastic causality is essentially reduced to the fact that the structures and the mechanism in charge of normal reproductive cellular activity become, for undefined causes, capable of an autonomous behaviour that is disjointed from the overall tissular economy.
The genes that normally have a positive role in cellular reproduction are, then, imprecisely referred to as proto-oncogenes; those which inhibit cellular reproduction are called suppressor genes or recessive oncogenes.
Both endogenous (never demonstrated) and exogenous cellular factors — that is, those carcinogenic elements that are usually invoked — are held responsible for the neoplastic degeneration of the tissues.
In J.H. Stein (Medicina Interna – Internal Medicine, Mosby Year Book inc.1994, St. Louis, Missouri, 4th edition, Milano, 1995, page 1186 -1187) the following is reported:
The mitogenic signals, from the microenvironment or from more distant areas of influence, are transmitted to the cells through numerous receptive structures that are associated to the plasmatic membrane.
Among these structures, the ones that have been studied most exhaustively are receptors with an external domain for the binder, a transmembranic domain and a cytoplasmatic domain with a thyrosinkinase activity.
Besides these, it is thought that at least seven distinct classes of molecules participate in the transmission of the mutagenic signal:
1) receptors coupled to G proteins
2) ionic channels
3) receptors with intrinsic activity guanil cyclase
4) receptors for many lymphofokines, cytokines and growth factors (interleukine, eritropoietine, etc.)
5) receptors for the phosphothyrosine phosphorilase activity
6) nuclear receptors belonging to the supergenic family of the receptor for steroidal estrogenic and thyroidal hormones
7) Finally, increasing numbers of tests suggest that the adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of the cells communicate with the microenvironment in ways that produce very important consequences for cellular growth and differentiation.
From a very superficial analysis of this presumed oncological picture, however, it seems to be clear how the assertion of all this unstoppable genetic hyperactivity, generated by elements that almost seem to lurk in the realms of the sinister and the monstrous, and that therefore suggest the existence of God-knows-what abysmal mechanisms that can only be deciphered with equally abysmal conceptual mechanisms — all this can do nothing more that unveil the abysmal stupidity that is at the basis of this way of conceiving things.
What is even more serious is the fact that nobody in the present health establishment seems to question the above-mentioned stupidities. All those who work in the field do nothing but repeat the stale litany of reproductive cellular anomalies on a genetic basis.
Since in this state of affairs the present medical theory shows an impoverishment and a superficiality that are indeed abysmal, it is better to look for new horizons and conceptual instruments that are capable of unearthing a real and unique neoplastic aetiology.
After so many years of failure and suffering it is time to rejuvenate minds with new and productive juices. Arguments for mysterious and complex genetic factors, a monstrous reproductive capacity by a pathologic entity capable of tearing apart any tissue, the idea that there is an implicit and ancestral tendency of the human organism to deviate in an auto-destructive sense — these and other similar arguments, spiced with
Sprinkle a little paprika on ‘em to make ‘em look good.

The best way to conclude any celebrations or festivities is to present gift baskets to your loved ones. However, if there is a diabetic on that list, then you need to think over what you are going to include in that hamper as the usual sweet stuff is absolutely out of bounds. How will you look for gift baskets for diabetics? It is important to take into account the glycemic index and the protein content of the items that you want to include in the basket. Glycemic index refers to a measure of the speed with which glucose derived from carbohydrates has on blood sugar levels. It does become difficult to purchase each item individually, keeping these factors in mind. There is an easy solution available now. You can opt for customized gift baskets for diabetics. Though these do not include the regular brownies, tarts, candies, pies and cookies, they can definitely be stuffed with goodies that do not increase blood sugar levels and at the same time are rich in nutrients. There are many companies that have realized the need for introducing gift hampers for diabetics which are as attractive as the usual ones, the only difference been that it won’t be distressing for the one whom you intend to give it to. After all, you do not want to tempt them with stuff that is ‘unhealthy’ for them. These baskets are designed to include stuff that does not have an adverse effect on blood sugar levels. The nutrients are balanced and the calorie count of each food item checked. There are many who even refrain from consuming refined flours and complex carbohydrates. There are healthy alternatives available for them as well. Most of these gift baskets for diabetics include things like snacks, soups and beverages. Diabetic gift baskets also contain whole wheat pasta and breads, crispies, healthy chips and snacks. These have been prepared keeping in mind the nutritional requirements of diabetics. There is a whole range of diabetic gift baskets that include assorted varieties. There are many who are not quite keen on eating sweets made of artificial sweeteners. For them you can include nuts, fruits and cheeses in the basket that makes for a healthy gift. With a diabetic in the family you may be well aware of the food restrictions that are imposed on them. There are many who suffer from this condition. However, being diabetic does not mean that you have to refrain from snacking. It is just that you have to think of a healthier way out.

Question by daniel b: What could pain in my back from taking a deep breath mean?
I have been experiencing back pain (localized to the middle-to-upper right region of my back) all day, especially when I take a deep breath. I’ve also noticed I get the pain when I move my right arm in certain directions, as well as if I twist my back to the right or left. But the pain is the worst when I take a deep breath. Could this just be a muscle strain? I’m not sure if pain from a muscle strain can be felt from taking a deep breath. Any advice and/or information would be appreciated.
Thanks.

There is a chance that you subluxated (partially displaced) a rib. This usually happens in the back from a traumatic incident, and can cause restricted and painful breathing. You also might have strained or bruised an intercostal muscle, located between the ribs. Either one would cause the symptoms you’re describing.
A chiropractor might help, as well as alternating heat and ice on the area. Start with 10 minutes of heat, end with 10 minutes of ice.
Gentle deep breathing exercises can help a displaced rib readjust. Follow the procedure in the link below, except only breathe in to the point where you experience NO pain. You will find that you can breathe in deeper the more you do it.

Question by Willard: Are there any digestive disorders that can be transmitted from person to person?
The symptoms are similar to IBS, Crohn’s disease, etc and last for months. In my research, I’ve read that there are good and bad bacteria involved with the digestive system. Could these be affected by having sexual contact with another person?
