The link between candida infection and cancer and what Tumeric can do about it.

Yeast can cause cancer and Turmeric can kill
both, research confirms.
The four distinct ways by which Candida
albicans may contribute to cancer are
explained in more detail below:
Production of carcinogenic byproducts: First,
Candida Albicans produces nitrosamines, which
are carcinogens that activate specific proto-
oncogenes that could trigger cancerous
lesions. Second, Candida albicans produce
acetaldehyde, which is produced as the first
metabolite of ethanol (the yeast fermentation
byproduct), and which is a DNA-damaging
(mutagenic) and carcinogenic chemical with a
wide range of downstream cancer promoting
properties.
Triggering of inflammation: Prolonged,
unresolved inflammation can promote cancer,
both by causing damage to tissue, and through
the secretion of proliferative chemicals
intended to stimulate regeneration of damaged
tissue, but which can render tissue
immortalized when the inflammation is chronic
and misdirected. Candida albicans is well
known to promote a cascade of inflammatory
responses within the body when growing
beyond their normal population density due to
immunosuppression, an inappropriate diet, and/
or chemical exposure. These misguided
inflammatory responses have been found to
promote increases in tumor cell adhesion,
which is believed to promote the formation of
secondary tumors and/or metastasis.
Induction of Th17 response: The set of CD4 T-
cells that are dominant in response to Candida
albicans, namely, TH17 cells, also secrete
factors that may promote angiogenesis (the
formation of new blood vessels) and increased
tumor incidence and growth.
Molecular mimicry: Antibodies produced
against a protein on the surface of Candida
Albicans (CR3-RP) has structural and antigenic
similarities with a receptor on certain of our
white blood cells (leukocytes). This “molecular
mimicry” may cause antibodies to be formed
against our immune cells that then disturb the
anti-tumor and anti-Candida defenses of the
host.
This newly identified research not only
substantiates the concept that yeast
overgrowth can be a contributing cause of
cancer, but it also, indirectly, raises a red flag
to both sugar and alcohol consumption. Clearly,
if sugar and its conversion to ethanol produce
acetaldehyde, reducing excessive consumption
of either is a good chemopreventive step, and
likely a completely necessary intervention when
actively treating already established cancers —
that is, if the goal is full remission.
Moreover, sugar has also recently been found
to not just feed cancer, but actively contributes
to the transformation of normal cells into
cancerous ones; i.e. sugar is potentially
carcinogenic. Read my recent article,
“Research Reveals How Sugar CAUSES
Cancer,” to learn more.
The implications of this research are profound
since sugar also promotes yeast growth, which
means that sugar is both directly and indirectly
carcinogenic; a fact that is all the more
concerning considering cancer treatment wards
in major hospitals still give sugar-containing
foods and beverages to their patients while
being treated, or recovering from treatment.

Weight gain is a combination of many factors including the body's genetic make up and environment. I suggest you take multivitamins and apetite stimulants like Dynamogen cos in my experience consulting, many lean ladies donot also have apetite to eat.
Also having good rest could. Hope that answered your question?

@ heavenet. Sometimes ago I was supposed to donate blood to my sister since we have same blood group, genotype, etc but after test the doc said the results showed I can't donate blood cos my PVC is low @ about 39%. I started taking Omega-H3 since last week since it contains lots of iron for production of red blood cells to increase my PVC. But i've been experiencing severe headache since then. It was becoming unbearable I had to stop the drug yesterday and the headache subsided.

Pls can you prescribe substitute drugs or supplement with no side effects for me? Pls also help me confirm if there's any side effects and verify the potency of "Re-vive" It's a herbal supplement from KEDI Healthcare. Thank you
Hello. Good you stopped the supplement giving you headache. There are other common ones like astyfer, ferroglobin, Hb rich, mim among others.
Revive is manufactured by Fidson a recognised pharmaceutical industry and only marketed by Kedi. It contains about 3 herbs known to improve men's libido. It is registered by NAFDAC. It is safe and probably effective. I have not recommended it. Thanks. Hope that answered your question?

ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants are man-made or natural substances that may prevent or delay some types of cell damage. Antioxidants are found in many foods, including fruits and vegetables. They are also available as dietary supplements. Examples of antioxidants include

Beta-carotene
Lutein
Lycopene
Selenium
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Vegetables and fruits are rich sources of antioxidants. There is good evidence that eating a diet with lots of vegetables and fruits is healthy and lowers risks of certain diseases. But it isn't clear whether this is because of the antioxidants, something else in the foods, or other factors.

Abnormal high-dose supplements of antioxidants may be linked to health risks in some cases. For example, high doses of beta-carotene may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. High doses of vitamin E may increase risks of prostate cancer and one type of stroke. Antioxidant supplements may also interact with some medicines. To minimize risk, tell you of your health care providers about any antioxidants you use.

Hello Pharm, thanks for the wonderful job your doing.
Please I get to encounter those preaching either herbal 'bitters' this or that to the extent that I get confused with their message. My question is: Does this 'bitters' work as in reducing blood sugar or is it just a hype. And if they work as claimed can you reccomend a safe one. Thanks
My question is who says you have blood sugar that needs to be removed? Was it said by a doctor through a test? So be careful with bitters not recommended for a clearly defined ailment. If you feel you have a health concern visit the doctor. I know the common bitters in Nigerian market. One of them is Swedish bitters. But get a reliable source of info and advise before using.
