Candidemia is the number one worst but undetected infection – yet no one is talking about it. Here’s what you need to know…
—–Important Message—–
Dr. Bradstreet stumbled onto this possible cure for cancer…
But then, he mysteriously died, shot in the chest – supposedly a suicide.
He was making huge breakthroughs in GcMAF, which many researchers believe will kill Big Pharma’s profits by curing most cancers.
Here is what you need to know about GcMAF as a cure for cancer…

Candidemia – Are You Infected?
Most people will accept the idea that an infection can cause fatigue.
Mononucleosis and African sleeping sickness are two well-known infections with fatigue as the defining trait, one caused by a virus and the other by a trypanosome (a parasite).
In the case of yeast, we actually use the term “overgrowth” instead of “infection.”
That’s because Candida albicans normally co-exists in harmony with the other intestinal flora in most people.
The common wording tends to downplay the link, making it seem minor – although a full-fledged “yeast overgrowth” is equivalent to an infection in every practical sense.
Medical people downplay the link even more.
Doctors, dietitians, nurses, pharmacologists, salespeople, and Big Pharma executives all minimize the importance of yeast overgrowth because they themselves are to blame for the epidemic – for the most part.
Antibiotics, corticosteroids, and bad dietary advice are the prime causes of yeast overgrowth.
Although C. albicans is the most common and the most dangerous, other species are sometimes involved.
Even Aspergillus and Saccharomyces species have been isolated…
And scientists have shown that infection with common brewer’s yeast can produce enough ethanol to make a person legally drunk (BACs between .2 and .3).
Ironically, so many people get the “chronic fatigue” diagnosis because it isn’t really something that can be diagnosed at all.
Besides fatigue, the inability to “find anything else wrong with them” is what creates this disease classification itself.
But with no reliable biochemical, histological, or radiographic parameter to help define it, “chronic fatigue” means about as much as the imaginary “always tired” syndrome.
However, there are very few commonalities in serum profiles among cases so the confusion is understandable.
But could this lack of an official biological explanation just be a way of skirting liability for the reckless promotion of antibiotics?

Candidemia is the number one hospital-caused infection – and we need to take it seriously.
Chronically undertreating a condition or treating it under the wrong paradigm helps the medical complex to keep making money…
And it is almost standard operating procedure – outside of the narrow field of emergency medicine.
But there’s actually a significant connection.
The popular press often uses Candida albicans and fatigue in the same sentence – and testimonials from patients confirm the ability of yeast to cause fatigue.
And studies have found this too.
In a study limited to just the symptomatic aspects, these are some of the most common symptoms reported: tiredness, decreasing strength, vegetative complaints…
Sure, “tiredness” and “vegetative state” are not exactly the same word or term as “fatigue” – but they are synonyms.
Maybe the editors of medical journals have a reason to avoid explicitly linking the word “fatigue” to C. albicans?
But seriously, candidiasis is a real phenomenon and we should think of it as such – yeast in the body can cause serious effects.
Although there are very few commonalities among the broad group of patients with “chronic fatigue,” the commonalities that do exist all strongly imply a yeast connection.
AND get this: The very same tryptophan metabolite responsible for African sleeping sickness is produced by C. albicans.
This molecule, tryptophol, is very potent.
Tryptophol also explains why tryptophan reliably causes drowsiness even though serotonin itself does not.
And that involves this missing metabolite.
Tryptophol also explains the longstanding contradictory findings in the link between fatigue – chronic or otherwise – and tryptophan.
In fact, there are many parallels between tryptophan and chronic fatigue…
Yet most studies don’t focus on this.
And the ones that do don’t measure tryptophol, only 5-HIAA/serotonin.
Many scientists and medical doctors believe that serotonin and 5-HIAA are the only indoles worth considering.
But tryptophol, which is related, is surprisingly powerful in many aspects.
…not least of which is the promotion of sleep:
Scientists have known about this molecule for over a century.
But they didn’t discover how it affects sleep until the 1960s.
They discovered oleamide thirty years later. Until then, they thought tryptophol was the most powerful endogenous sleep inducer.
(Endogenous means not having an external cause.)
“The present study does suggest that there are certain common metabolic effects of tryptophol and barbiturates…”
In this classic study, biochemists at Texas A&M University elaborated on some of the finer aspects of tryptophol.
They discovered that tryptophol has a peculiar ability to swell red blood cells to the point of explosion.
Serotonin can’t do this at the concentration used.
They showed that, among tryptophan metabolites, tryptophol is by far the most oil-soluble.
This means that it should be able to cross the blood-brain barrier more readily, and that has been confirmed.
They even replicated the earlier sleep experiments.
But this time they used a full panel of tryptophan congeners for comparison:
Of the indoles shown above, the only ones that induced sleep were 5-methoxytryptophol and tryptophol.
Serotonin normally gets most of the attention, but it failed to promote sleep.
And all tryptamine did, to this end, was to cause death in 50% of the animals… something that parents euphemistically tell children is “like going to sleep.”
Nothing really compares to tryptophol when it comes to inducing sleep.
However, despite the uniqueness of tryptophol in so many ways – and especially its obvious potential to explain chronic fatigue – this metabolite is not routinely measured.
It’s actually extremely rare even to even see this molecule mentioned in modern studies of any type, except those on trypanosomes – which cause African sleeping sickness.
“These alterations may account for the behavioral changes observed in human trypanosomiasis.”
But, besides protozoa, yeast has been found to assimilate tryptophan from its environment and convert it into tryptophol.
And scientists have known this for over a century.
Since tryptophol powerfully induces sleep, any infection that produces it can be logically supposed to cause fatigue…or tiredness and the “vegetative state.”
Candida albicans is the most common yeast pathogen and back in 1968 researchers showed that it specifically does this:
This yeast can make and excrete tryptophol, just like the protozoan parasite that causes African sleeping sickness.
“A comparison of the infrared and mass spectra of compound II with those of an authentic sample of tryptophol showed them to be identical.”
And this has been later confirmed: Candida albicans can excrete tryptophol into its growth medium at concentrations ranging up to 191 μg/mL.
But there’s even more reason to believe that tryptophol causes chronic fatigue.
Sufferers of chronic fatigue have been reported to significantly improve after antifungal treatment:
Dr. Carter, who did this study, lays down a good case for the association.
The immunological parameters present a good clue.
Chronic fatigue patients often present a characteristic cytokine profile.
That is not particularly unusual in itself. But it is also true of people with chronic candidiasis.
Even more importantly, they respond to antifungal drugs:
“Dr. Carol Jessop reported her findings in 1,100 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome at the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Conference (April 1989). 84% of the patients had a favorable response to oral ketoconazole…”
Perhaps to avoid liability and to ensure future profits, the AMA will probably continue to ignore this link for some time to come.
But it could still become an “open secret” to the public – if it hasn’t already.
Since the “definition” of chronic fatigue is so broad, there are (of course) other causes…
For example, autoimmune antibodies and other infections will always cause a certain subset of chronic fatigue cases.
But candidiasis is quite possibly the most common causative factor.

Blood Pressure???
Many men have high-ish blood pressure, so they go on some Big Pharma treatment.
But the treatment is worse than the disease itself.
These treatments cost a man his manhood…
They often cause erectile dysfunction.
