Mold belongs to the fungi kingdom in nature. Yeast is a mold. Candida is a type of yeast. Yeasts are actually single cell organisms which can evolve into more complex organisms. It is more a description of a state or stage of developement. Candida albicans are the yeast mold most commonly found to cause yeast infections in humans, for both women and men. Many things can contribute to yeast infections, including pregnancy, mold exposures, antibiotics, steroids, high fruit diets and oral birth control. They also mention a connection between diabetes and candida.

In order for the human body to function properly, the strength of the good bacteria and the good fungi must be kept in relative balance with each other. This keeps both of them in check. If the strength of either gets too much stronger than the other, they can grow out of control, causing many health problems. When one has a bacterial illness or condition, the doctor will often prescribe an antibiotic drug. Most antibiotics are made from various mold fungi, penicillin is made from the penicillium mold, etc. Antibiotics are sent in to kill off the bacterial illness or condition. But, they also kill off the good bacteria needed by the body to function properly. This can upset the bacterial/fungal balance and lead to an overgrowth of fungi, especially for a person who has had a toxic mold exposure. Their body is already out of balance due to the accumulated levels of mold fungi from their exposure. The last thing they need is a concentrated dose of a fungal based antibiotic.

Then the antibiotics reinforce the fungal army, making it even more difficult to reachieve bacterial/fungal balance. The army of various fungi, like yeast, combine to wreak havoc throughout the body. It becomes more and more difficult for the body to produce enough good bacteria fast enough to counter the out of control growth rate of all the various fungi, including yeast. It is important at this point to remember that we are dealing with living, growing organisms. They need moisture and nutrients to grow inside you. They get those from your body. They like sugar carbohydrates. So, don't eat, feed them sugar carbohydrates. They don't like chlorophyll since, mold is non-chlorophyll in nature. So, eat lots of green vegetables and supplement your diet with chlorophyll or chlorophyllin.

When the bacterial/fungal balance is upset in the gastrointestinal digestive system, proper functioning is disrupted, slowing down movement of the nutrients, wastes and toxins through the system, leading to constipation. It interrupts the absorption processes. This gives sugars, yeasts, grains and fruits time to combine and ferment into alcohol inside your body. Gases are produced causing bloating of the abdomen, much like a balloon inflating on top of a jug of home made beer or wine. After my own toxic mold exposure I was fortunate enough to become one of Dr. Marinkovich's patients. I remember one of the questions he asked was whether I had experienced bloating. The only time I have ever been checked by a police officer for DUI was during my toxic mold exposure, when I had not consumed any alcohol. It was the way I was walking which drew his attention. There are documented cases of people appearing drunk, when they have not consumed any alcohol. It begs the question of how accurate the DUI tests are in determining how much alcohol a person has been drinking. How much of the alcohol was produced inside their body? Perhaps it sheds some light on why some people, like myself, are affected quicker by consuming alcohol.

To reachieve proper bacterial/fungal balance the strength of the fungal army must be reduced at the same time as the strength of the good bacterial army is increased. This can be achieved using a combination of antifungals and probiotics. Once bacterial/fungal balance is re-established, the levels of both need to be reduced simultaneously, to levels the cleaning systems can easily manage. This can be done a number of ways. Chlorophyllin appears to be effective against both bacteria and fungi. Hydrogen peroxide is a sterilant, killing both bacteria and fungi. Hydrogen peroxide can be introduced topically on the skin, as a mouth rinse, as an ear cleaner, and even intravenously by a medical practitioner. Liver cleanses are very helpful by clearing out a lot of the accumulated material the overburdened liver has tried to clean out of the body's operating systems. Colon cleanses can help clear the backed up sludge out of the colon.

For those people who have had toxic mold introduced into the equation, there is another very important aspect to consider. The different bacteria and fungi are like siblings, often existing in symbiotic relationships, helping each other. But, sibling rivalry ensues as they fight for the limited resources of moisture and nutrients inside the human body, in order to survive. The situation becomes much more complex when toxic mold fungi have been introduced into the chemistry of the body. Toxic molds produce mycotoxins to kill off their microbial competitors. The more crowded it gets in the competition for resources, the more mycotoxins that get produced, and the stronger the toxic molds become in the equation. At this point the body is not only out of balance, affecting it's ability to fight off the detrimental effects, strong destructive toxins start damaging the brain and central nervous system. Now, detoxification needs to become a part of the protocol. Chlorophyllin is effective for this.
