RISING WOMEN EXPERT ADVICE...

How harmful is fungus within the body and what can I do to eliminate it?

It is believed that fungus first started to spread by wild boars rooting up the ground while looking for food. Its spores have been airborne ever since. Interesting to note as well, pigs will never eat the mushrooms on the top of the ground, yet they will eat just about anything else.

Fungus is not a plant or an animal, and unlike plants, which convert the sun’s energy into food, fungi feed on other plant and animal waste and don’t need sunlight. Fungi germinate, mature, die and rot away in a few days outside, but inside your body the fungi form mycelium, which proliferates for years, creating pleomorphism and dysbiosis and we feed it through keeping our body acidic. Pleomorphism and dysbiosis can lead to allergies and asthma as well as serious disorders such as cancer.

Fungus has a cell wall that our white blood cell’s venom cannot penetrate through, yet they recognize it as a foreign antigen, so they keep trying to kill it until they weaken and lose their own life. Through a blood analysis, we can see this happening. It takes caprylic acid to perforate the cell wall, however there are only trace amounts found in foods such as garlic, fresh or raw coconut milk and grapefruit seeds.

It is said that cooking or freezing our foods may kill this fungus but this is not always true. Fungus naturally can be found in foods and it just takes the right environment for it to start growing again. Take cheese as an example. You can freeze it, then unthaw it, and it can still grow mould within a of couple days. So you cannot really eliminate fungus in foods, however you can greatly reduce the growth through proper preparation. Fruits, vegetables and even grains and nuts must be washed with a nontoxic soap and water and then rinsed well before being consumed. (Note that just because they are organic this doesn’t mean they are without fungus.) Refrigerated leftovers should also be stored airtight and consumed within 36 hours as fungus will start growing after this period.

Foods that are a fungus, such as mushrooms, and foods that are high in fungus, such as peanuts, should be avoided as there are no proper ways of cleaning them. By staying away from foods that are high in fungus and foods that are high in acid (lists available on the internet), you can reduce the symptoms of any disease.
