MS is an Infectious Disease. Part 1: Multiple Sclerosis and Fungus

Multiple sclerosis is an infectious disease. Over 40 years ago, several medically trained doctors understood that fungal overgrowth played a significant role in causing multiple sclerosis and other chronic diseases.

When I was diagnosed with MS 35 years ago, the experts gave me no hope for a cure. They stated that the cause of MS was unknown and that there was no cure. They assured me that I would be completely disabled in time and that there was nothing I could do to change the course of my life. It is really sad that not much has changed in four decades. Today, we still don’t know what causes MS and are still told that there is no cure.

Shortly after my diagnosis, I discovered books written by Dr. William Crook, Dr. C. Orian Truss, Dr. Luc De Schepper and Dr. Zoltan P. Rona who believed that fungal overgrowth was present in multiple sclerosis and all chronic disease. As they treated fungus in their patients, the progression of disease stopped and their patients experienced significant recovery – often full recovery.

The work of these forward thinking doctors gave me hope that maybe there was something I could do to take back my health and life. I decided to take a different path – not to follow the standard care for MS but rather to treat the root cause of MS – to treat infection.

I am forever grateful for these amazing pioneers in healthcare for having the courage to offer the best approach for their patients to recover from disease. They faced tremendous ridicule from their peers, but persevered. And because they did, I am alive and well today.

Pathogenic Fungi

There are at least 400 different types of fungi that can cause disease in humans. Chronic fungal infections are present in people suffering from various diseases, including MS.

The greatest factor that promotes fungal overgrowth in the body is the overuse of antibiotics and a diet high in processed carbohydrates. Fungus also thrives in immunosuppressed people.

Candida

Candida is a type of yeast, which is a type of fungus. It lives in us and doesn’t cause harm if present in small numbers.

There are many species of Candida. Candida albicans is a common human pathogen that can produce over 70 toxins.

As Candida becomes more populated in our body, it produces larger amounts of poisons such as:

• Ethanol, which is a type of alcohol that causes brain fog and poor memory and can make us feel like we are drunk. The medical term for this is auto-brewery.
• Various mycotoxins such as formaldehyde. Small amounts of certain mycotoxins can cause disease and even death in humans and / or animals.
• Neurotoxins like acetaldehyde, which is the hangover chemical that makes us feel like we were hit by a truck.

Candida infections can cause leaky gut as the lining of the digestive tract becomes damaged. This can then lead to food sensitivities, especially to gluten and dairy.

Candida produces organic acids, which make us acidic and deficient in minerals. We notice a shift in pH when we treat these infections.

Candida can directly suppress our immune system by making enzymes that destroy our antibodies. This makes us more susceptible to other infections.

Yeast can produce leukotrienes in asthma where there is constricting or tightening of the airways and a buildup of mucus.

Yeast can also produce prostaglandins, which cause pain in migraines, menstrual cramps, endometriosis and premature labor. Prostaglandins are produced by the body in response to infection, but are also produced directly by fungi. Instead of treating the infections, our doctors recommend Ibuprofen, which blocks the production of prostaglandins.

With the overuse of antibiotics and the resulting disruption to the microbiome, along with a diet high in processed carbs, Candida thrives and changes from the benign cell form to the disease-causing hyphal form present in MS and other diseases.

MS patients have a higher incidence of Candida infections and fungal DNA is often present in their blood. Research demonstrates high levels of anti-Candida antibodies and Candida proteins in the blood and spinal fluid of MS patients.

Thrush, the oral infection of Candida, is more prevalent in MS patients than in healthy individuals.

Candida albicans isolated from MS patients showed higher enzyme activity compared to this yeast isolated from healthy people. Also, there was a positive correlation between the enzyme’s activity and the severity of MS. This suggests that the amount of enzyme and probability of Candida isolates to invade the tissue of a patient is associated with the severity of MS.

Mold

Living or working in a damp, moldy environment subjects a person to ongoing exposure to mycotoxins, which suppress the immune system and can lead to various illnesses (those directly caused by mold and / or the invasion of other pathogens due to immunosuppression caused by mold).

Mold exposure can cause respiratory issues, sneezing, chronically congested sinuses and skin issues. Long-term exposure to mold is associated with more severe cognitive issues.

Molds such as aspergillus can also be present in chronic disease and are directly linked to the benign Meningioma tumor.

Exposure to mold and the toxic compounds they produce can affect the nervous system, directly or through immune cell activation.

Symptoms of Fungal Overgrowth

Fungal overgrowth is very common for those who suffer from chronic disease.

Symptoms that might indicate fungal overgrowth in the body include:

• allergies
• sinusitis
• asthma
• snoring
• dandruff
• vaginal yeast infections
• rashes
• eczema
• fingernail or toenail fungus
• jock itch
• rectal itch
• psoriasis
• gas, bloating
• constipation
• dry irritated lips
• rashes on the inside of cheeks
• ringworm
• cancer
• penicillin allergy
• sleep apnea.

How to Treat Fungus

1. Follow the Live Disease Free eating plan, which greatly reduces food to the fungal overgrowth while nourishing the body.

2. Support the body by managing constipation, sleeping at least eight hours per night, staying hydrated, reducing toxins in the environment (including mold and EMF/RF radiation exposure) and building a healthy lifestyle.

3. Treat fungus and other chronic infections effectively with the help of an experienced healthcare professional or health coach with the use of antimicrobial herbs (like garlic, Pau D’arco, myrrh and others), oxygen therapies and antifungal drugs like nystatin capsules or tablets, fluconazole or itraconazole.

There are real solutions to recover from parasites today!

To restore health, we must focus on treating the cause of inflammation, which are parasites. First, identify the enemy (parasites), then support the body and treat the parasites while following a holistic approach. When parasitic infections are treated effectively, we can overcome inflammation or disease.

If you’re frustrated with the fact that our standard of care STILL doesn’t offer a real solution for treating MS and other diseases, then click on the link below to watch Pam Bartha’s free masterclass training and discover REAL solutions that have allowed Pam and many others to live free from MS and other diseases.
