I have a wonderful job. I meet so many interesting people, so many experts all on the same mission -helping
people beat cancer. One minute it's Charlotte Gerson, then Dr Contreras. I may get a complex soon though;
none of Britain's top orthodox doctors ever seem to ring me up to tell me of their latest work, which is very
sad because icon now goes out to over 100,000 readers every issue in over 200 hospitals, oncology units and
complementary centres.
It is estimated that 70 per cent of the British population have a yeast infection
One gentleman, with whom I have been corresponding, is Gerald Green, a medical herbalist and immunologist
in Bexhill, Sussex. His grandfather (Professor Fritz Hber 1868-1934) won a Nobel Prize and was one of
Germany's finest scientists. Energy and investigative endurance clearly run in the family. Gerald has devoted a
large part of his life to studying candida.
It is estimated that 70 per cent of the British population have a yeast infection. The primary cause of this is
our love of antibiotics. Swollen glands? Take antibiotics. Tonsillitis? Take antibiotics. Are you allergic to
antibiotics? If the answer is no, that's fine. Antibiotics have no side effects. Who says?
So would you be surprised if I told you that The Journal of the American Medical Association (Feb 18th 2004;
291; 827-35) has reported a study on 10,000 women in which women who took over 500 days of antibiotics
in a 17 year period (dubbed 25 plus doses) had twice the risk of breast cancer as those that took none at all.
Even women taking just ONE DOSE had a statistical risk increase to 1.5 times. This followed worrysome
findings in Finland in 2000.
Friendly Bacteria
Apart from a minor problem that they may well be toxic to brain cells (Drs Goldman & Klatz - US), antibiotics
kill all bacteria in the body, including the ones you need; the friendly ones in the gut. Acidophilus is on the
supermarket shelves; you are urged to take it, but the damage may be already done.
The friendly bacteria in the gut perform a number of functions. They are the first line of the immune defence
system; they produce useful vitamins like biotin, also helpful to the immune system and cellular health, they
work with bile acids to extract and help you absorb the maximum level of minerals from your digested food
and American research recently showed something amazing. Bits of their cell walls kill cancer cells in vitro.
And no one yet knows why!
Antibiotics kill all bacteria in the body, including the ones you need
When they are not performing all these extremely useful functions they feed, especially when your stomach
and intestines are at rest. At night their favourite food is yeasts. It is not just antibiotics that harm the
"friendlies" - chlorinated tap water and acid bodies caused by stress and poor diet can eliminate them in jst a
few days, so you are wise to take a daily probiotic.
Diet
It is easy to see how yeasts have taken a hold in the Western world. The US and UK diets are simply weak in
the foods that keep yeasts under control. My Thai wife used to live in a country with a trillion such microbes
lounging on every street corner, but the Thai diet of coconut (caprylic acid), garlic, chillies and bee propolis are
all natural controllers of yeasts. Our diets merely help to propagate them. High sugar drinks, snacks, fast
food, alcohol, refined wheat, indeed any high glycaemic food, feed the yeasts. And we live in high glycaemic
land in the West.
cinnamon is officially attributed to 'glucose control in the blood stream'. You may also want to know that the
Nobel Prize winners suggested that polysaccharides and glycoproteins could also help clean up cell
membranes.
A Cause of Cancer?
I like Gerald Green. Of course, I'm biased. I always like people who share my views We seem to have two
views in common.
Doctors rarely, if ever, stop to think about candida, or parasite infection. And as a result
their medicines only treat part of the cancer equation. In other walks of life it would be
called: "Neglect". There, I've said it.
I recently went to a cancer clinic in the USA, and to the Dove Clinic in the UK. At both I talked to the nurses.
Every Cancer patient they see, man or woman, has bad candida
They were unanimous. Every Cancer patient they see, man or woman, has bad candida. Whether it is
breast cancer or prostate cancer. (It is most definitely true for my daughter with her brain tumour too).
The problem is that these yeasts get everywhere. Whilst they might start off in your gut, they soon pass into
the blood stream and then, like Alien, they are loose in the mother ship. And they make an alcohol as a byproduct of their very existence, and this alcohol feeds cancer cells. Moreover Yeasts are anaerobes - they don't
use oxygen to metabolise and survive. If they move round your body and colonise an area of your breast or
prostate they set up anaerobic conditions. And cancer thrives in situations where oxygen levels are lowered.
Take Action
So back to the expert Mr Green. (And he is an expert. I have seen the letters he receives from hospitals and
microbiology units saying he knows more than they do). He believes even terminal cancer patients can be
saved if the root cause is candida.
He believes sufferers must immediately ELIMINATE THE FOLLOWING FROM THEIR DIET:
All cow's milk products:
cheese, yoghurt, whey. And all cow's milk derivatives which are everywhere in processed food.
Yeast products:
alcohol, bread, Marmite, Oxo, Bovril, vinegars, mushrooms, processed and smoked
fish and meats.
All sugar products:
honey, fructose, lactose, glucose, dextrose and sweeteners like Nutrisweet and
Canderel.
Nearly all fruit:
overripe fruits are full of sugar and yeasts. Plus vegetables like courgettes, pumpkin, squash, marrow.
High sugar root vegetables:
carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, beetroots, (maximum 1 potato per day).
Personally, I would add all high glycaemic foods to this list, e.g. refined wheat, rice, pasta, fizzy soft drinks,
fruit juices and squash, biscuits, pastries, pies and corn. Gerald mentions most of these too in his diet and he
suggests you avoid all pulses, processed meats, high salt foods and hydrogenated vegetable oils too.
Below you will find his list of Good Food Choices.
His sweetener of choice is Stevia, a herb 100 times sweeter than sugar but a natural anti-fungal agent.
He recommends astragalus and echinacea pIus 1 gm vitamin C daily to boost the immune system.

Culinary herbs and spices
Personally I would add that garlic, caprylic acid, oregano and Pau D'Arco are all
excellent yeast raiders. Another that helped me personally when all the experts in
Harley Street had failed was Neways Parafree, a purge that contains all natural
ingredients and the things parasites hate. Gerald Green's favourite natural destroyer
is Wormwood, and again I agree and add it to my Parafree course. Wormwood is a
natural herb and is now fast replacing poorer performing anti-Malarial Drugs. It is
very effiecient. Chlorella is a supplement that seems to enhance the action of
probiotics and the natural flora in the gut. I always believe fish oils can help too.
For further information on herbs and supplements, and an anti-candida diet you could ring Gerald Green on
01424-218683 after midday.
Gerald has just published a new book called "Breaking Through the Untouchable Diseases"
by Gerald Green and this is available on Amazon.co.uk.
Gerald does a lot of work with cancer patients, MS, Crohn's and Lupus sufferers.
