Kill The Fungus

The Anti-Fungal Program
FUNGUS: A simple plant that lacks chlorophyl. Fungi include yeasts, rust, molds, and mushrooms. They
live as either saprophytes or parasites of plants and animals (man). Some species infect and cause
disease in man. - The Bantam Medical Dictionary.

#1 Starve The Fungi
Starve the fungi with Doug Kaufmann's Phase One Diet (Initial Phase).
Sugar fuels the growth pattern for fungi. The Phase One diet is a low carbohydrate diet that
dramatically cuts back on sugar that feeds fungi. Although carbohydrates are known to be fuel
for the body, this is true only in a non-toxic individual. In a fungally-toxic individual it actually
suppresses energy.
The Phase One diet is also very low in mold/fungi infected foods and high in foods, such as
vegetables which are known to carry out mycotoxins and inhibit their toxicity.
The Phase One diet is found in its entirety in any of Doug Kaufmann's books.
#2 Move Your Bowels
As fungi is killed inside your body, it is imperative that you move it out, and quickly. Doug
Kaufmann recommends a good source of fiber to carry out colon waste. Both are excellent
choices:
· Psyllium Hulls or
· Slippery Elm
Whichever method you choose, it is imperative that you replace the healthy bacteria found in the
colon that is lost through the process of cleansing the colon with a good probiotic.
· Lactobacillus acidophilus
It is not recommended that you take cascara sagrada for the purpose of this antifungal program.
If constipation is a chronic problem for you, consider that a magnesium deficiency can be a
cause of this.
#3 Repair the Damage
Repairing the oxidative damage is critical. Using a powerful free radical scavenger such as:
· Pycnogenol,
· Grape Seed Extract,
· Vitamin C.

#4 Kill the Fungus
Fungi can be killed with pharmaceutical drugs or natural remedies. Both work very well. Drugs
such as Nystatin, Lamisil, Nizoral, Diflucan, or Sporanax may work a little faster than natural
choices, however, I recommend natural remedies. Your choice may depend on the severity of
the fungal infection and whether or not your doctor will cooperate in prescribing one of these
antifungals.
Natural Anti-Fungals:
· Olive Leaf Extract
· P-73 Oregano
· Capryillic Acid
· Pau d'Arco
· Apple Cider Vinegar (Malic Acid)
· Garlic - neutralizes virus and bacteria
· Carrot juice - inhibits fungal proliferation
#5 Replace the Good Bacteria
It is imperative to replace the good bacteria in your intestines and then stay away from those
things that disrupt the balance, such as antibiotics and other immune suppressants.
· Lactobacillus acidophilus
(Work with your doctor here, there are times where an antibiotic is the best choice but this is
most likely a rare event. I am in no way indicating that one should never take an antibiotic or that
this program is a substitute for necessary medical care).
#6 Exercise!
Exercise is critical in the prevention and treatment of chronic fungal disease. Exercise has an
overwhelming positive impact on our health. Your commitment includes exercise. Choose an
exercise appropriate for you.
· Walking should not be underestimated as an appropriate exercise for anyone. It gets you
moving and pumps the lymph system, and gets you breathing!
# 7 Herxheimer Reaction
As yeast and fungi, etc. are starved, you may experience what is known as “Herxheimer’s
reaction”. It was Dr. Carl Herxheimer, a German dermatologist, who first described the body’s
reaction to the massive killing of microorganisms. This massive killing results in a sudden load of
toxins that is released into the blood stream. It is also known as “die-off”. The characteristics of
this reaction can be flu-like such as aches, pains, nausea, headache, chills, a low grade fever,
drop in blood pressure, hives or rash. One may even experience a temporary worsening of
current symptoms when starting the Phase One diet. This is good news! It means you are on
the right track. It is an indication that the Phase One diet is starving the fungi. Remember, our
bodies want to be well and will do all it can to get well. Give it the right opportunity and you will
see how magnificent your body is!
This healing crisis is a natural reaction and is very individualistic. It can be mild to severe. If it is
overwhelming, consider adding some foods that are on the Phase Two diet for a meal or two,
such as brown rice, or sweet potatoes, and of course making sure you have plenty of pure water.
