Re: Can a Fungal Infection be Mistaken for Cancer?

[Guest guest]

I had a question which kind-off relates to this: Can

nail fungus mean there is fungus in your blood? How

can one get rid of this? I have heard that fungus does

lead to cancer.

Thanks,

Sharon

I think the answer is that both fungal infections and cancer thrive in tissues

that are low in oxygenation. I would certainly take a serious fungal condition

as a warning sign.

Hello Dr Bruce Guilmette,

Fungal infections bother myself & my family... Threelac has a yeast

extract included with the probiotics. MSG is the result of

(extracting yeast). Is there any way to get these strong probiotics

without added yeast/extract? MSG is something to be avoided.
