tell me about yeast and candida infection of the gastric mucosa with references
Yeast and Candida are types of fungi that can infect the gastric mucosa, which is the inner lining of the stomach. Candida infection of the gastric mucosa is known as gastric candidiasis, and it can occur in people with weakened immune systems or those who have taken antibiotics or acid-suppressing drugs.Â
Yeast and Candida infections of the gastric mucosa can cause a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloating. In severe cases, the infection can lead to perforation of the stomach wall, which can be life-threatening.
 The diagnosis of yeast and Candida infections of the gastric mucosa is usually made by taking a biopsy of the stomach lining and examining it under a microscope. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, such as fluconazole or amphotericin B, which can be administered orally or intravenously.
 Here are some references for further reading on yeast and Candida infections of the gastric mucosa:

Mushrooms
Food & Supplements Program
Detox Program
Mushrooms, part of the kingdom shared with fungi yeasts and molds can be incredibly toxic, incredibly healing, and incredibly delicious. Just think of peyote and truffles as the two of the most celebrated of this family. Some are more medicinal, others more culinary.Â
While there are plenty of “bad” fungi, yeasts and molds, there are even more good ones. They essentially keep our soil alive. In addition, most fermentation that we love (alcohol, bread, some cheeses, salami, need say more?) are based on these critters. They have untold medicinal properties, including anti-cancer, andti-bacterial (penicillin comes from a mold), and mind-altering/healing.
Each type of mushroom or yeast has unique characteristics, just like the variety of herbs and foods that are provided by the Earth.

Thyroperoxidase TPO Enzyme
Thyroid Program
Thyroperoxidase (TPO) is an extremely important enzyme, mostly located in the thyroid gland. Since it is intimately involved in the production of thyroid hormone, it’s dysfunction can affect every cell of the body, and it often does. The epidemic of thyroid disease, more prevalent than diabetes, is in part due to the dysfunction of this enzyme.
In Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the most prevalent thyroid disorder and one of the most prevalent autoimmune diseases, the body makes antibodies to TPO as well as to Thryoglobulin.
This post will collect information specific to TPO, while other posts will focus on Hashimotos, Iodine, and related topics as can be seen in the menu at the top of the page.

Yeast (Candida), Mold, Fungus, Mushrooms
Yeast syndrome, often called Candidiasis, is often caused by overgrowth of naturally-occurring yeast called Candida species.  The condition is called a syndrome rather than infection because overgrowth or imbalance (dysbiosis) has several factors or root causes. These include: antibiotics, sugar, certain vaccines, diabetes, hormones (especially steroids and birth control) and other factors.

Yeasts that Affect Humans Sheet

From Open AI
Yeast, mold, fungus and mushroom are all types of microorganisms that belong to the kingdom Fungi. However, each term refers to a different type or characteristic of fungi:
- Yeast: A type of single-celled fungi that can ferment sugars to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol.
- Mold: A type of fungi that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae and can form visible colonies on surfaces.
- Fungus: A broader term that encompasses all fungi, including yeast and mold.
- Mushroom: A type of fungi that forms a fruiting body above ground, which produces spores (spores) to spread and propagate
From Open AI
Here are examples of yeast, mold, fungus, and mushrooms, along with their presence in human food and body:
- Yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast), Candida (a type of yeast that can cause infections in humans). Yeast is used in the production of bread, beer, and wine.
- Mold: Penicillium (used in the production of blue cheese and penicillin), Aspergillus (can produce mycotoxins harmful to humans). Mold can be found on food items such as bread, fruit, and cheese.
- Rusts: Puccinia (a type of rust that affects crops such as wheat and barley). Rusts are plant pathogens and do not typically affect humans directly.
- Smuts: Ustilago (a type of smut that affects corn). Smuts are plant pathogens and do not typically affect humans directly.
- Fungi: Aspergillus, Candida, Dermatophytes (cause skin infections). Some fungi can be harmful to humans and cause infections, while others can be beneficial, such as those used in the production of fermented foods.
- Mushroom: Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom), Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom). Mushrooms are edible and are commonly consumed as a food source.
Note: Some molds and fungi can cause infections in humans if they enter the body through the respiratory or digestive system. It’s important to properly store and prepare food to reduce the risk of exposure to harmful microorganisms.
Lyme & Co-Infections
Immune, Allergy & Infection Program
Lyme disease, caused by infection with the BB spirochete, is an endemic disease. When considered with the variants and co-infections, including Anaplasma, Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, and other infections, it is probably a pandemic.
