Re: Cholesterol and Candida albicans

[Guest guest]

Hello Cara,

I'll let Bee address your concerns specifically, I just wanted to offer the

following thoughts:

I would actually read that snippet the following way: having a fungal overgrowth

makes everything worse!! Just look at all the experience we have from members

on this group, and how sick we've all been.

And furthermore, what are your chances of *injecting* candida albicans (or

having it injected) into your body??? (which is what was done to those mice)

Hypercholesteremia is very rare; Taubes discusses it in his book Good

Calories, Bad Calories. If in your years of exposure to the medical system, no

one has told you you " have " it... I wouldn't worry about it

Hope that helps!

I was reading this article (http://www.westonap rice.org/ The-Benefits-

of-High-Choleste rol.html) on the Weston A. Price foundation website and came

across a paragraph that is perplexing and a little startling to me:

<snip>

So this means that, for whatever reason, cholesterol somehow is more dangerous

in those with an overgrowth of candida albicans fungus. I wish there was more

research available on this interaction. .. So far all they know is it's

riskier... Any thoughts on this anyone? Has this been made aware of already on

the group? I searched but couldn't find anything.

Warmly,

Cara

fungus, Dr. Netea and his team found that mice with familial

hypercholesterolemia died more easily than normal mice.22 Serious infections

caused by Candida albicans are rare in normal human beings; however, they are

mainly seen in patients treated with immunosuppressive drugs, but the finding

shows that we need more knowledge in this area. However, the many findings

mentioned above indicate that the protective effects of the blood lipids against

infections in human beings seem to be greater than any possible adverse

effects. "

+++Hi Cara,

First, familial hypercholesterolemia is rare in humans too so using mice that

have it doesn't address most of us anyway.

Second, candida albicans isn't rare for normal human beings, since even the

medical field claims over 70% of the population have it.

Third, humans wouldn't be getting candida from an injection, since it is

naturally formed in our bodies in order to clean them up, just like other bugs

are, i.e. viruses, bacteria, cancer.

That is why candida, bacteria, cancer, etc. cannot be cured by " killing it off. "

It just doesn't work that way. Candida is only cured by building up the immune

system, which is done by:

1) Consuming " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements),

2) Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and

cancer),

3) Eliminating damaging foods, and

4) Eliminating toxins in general.

When the immune system is strong enough it will automatically " make " candida (or

any bug, cancer, etc.) change back into the organism it is supposed to be when

the body is healthy.

It's like the manure pile and the flies, with the manure pile representing the

poor condition of the body. You cannot get rid of the manure pile by killing

off the flies. You must clean up the manure pile instead, which means building

up your immune system.

Cholesterol is saturated fats mainly found in butter, coconut oil, lard, and it

is the very best antioxidant any human can get, since it cleanses the entire

body, reconstructs all cells, and even gets rid of heavy metals. Most cell

membranes need to be constructed out of 50% saturated fat; lung cells needs 100%

in order to be healthy - this according to Enig at the Weston A. Price

Foundation.

Your body would still make cholesterol even if you didn't 1 drop of it.

Last, their conclusion is: " however, the many findings mentioned above indicate

that the protective effects of the blood lipids against infections in human

beings seem to be greater than any possible adverse effects. "

Unfortunately the Weston A. Price Foundation still believes in the germ theory

of disease, which is totally false, so they talk about infections as if we can

" catch " them, but we can't. See these articles:
