Crook could be the expert. He's written multiple books on yeast and its connection to ill health.
The Germ That Causes Cancer, Doug A. Kaufmann, 2005. The Amazon blurb reads,
The authors are responding to a number of things in this handbook. Since the publication of The Germ that Causes Cancer, there have been several follow-up studies implicating fungi and their harmful mycrotoxins in the role of cancer. That is, rather than having our theory taken apart, it's been solidified by the flow of data coming out of the halls of science. Fungi and mycrotoxins -harmful, fungal by-products -do cause cancer.
Kaufmann discusses an anti-fungal diet in this presentation titled, "Is Everything Fungus?" Kaufmann offers remedies to fungi-causing diseases here: Oregano, Olive Leaf, Niacin, and Clove Oil. And that's it. In his presentation, Kaufmann references the book, The Manual of Clinical Mycology, 1971.
If you've ever been hungover, you've suffered from an acute mycotoxicosis.
At 12:30 in his "Is Everything Fungus?" he says that alcohol is the mycotoxin of brewer's yeast. Alcohol producers often use that are too contaminated with fungus
Wejolyn strongly recommends reading these three doctors: A. V. Costantini, Lars I. Vqick, and Heinrich Wieland.

#1: LIGHT REVIEW OF Prevention of Breast Cancer: Hope at Last by Tomma Lou Mass
A Trojan horse has secretly been infiltrating our lives, bringing breast cancer to
one of every eight women in the United
States, and to women around the world.
Because no one thus far has unmasked this
deceptive Trojan horse, it continues to deliver certain clandestine, pathological
agents via our food and lifestyles, bringing
breast cancer upon us surreptitiously.
Now Doctors A.V. Constantini,
Heinrich Wieland, and Lars I. Qvick from
the International Research Centre for
Mycotoxins in Human Health (formerly the
World Health Organization's Collaborating
Center for Mycotoxins in Food (1994-1998)
in the School of Medicine at Albert Ludwigs
University, Freiburg, Germany, identify in
their newly released book, Prevention of
Breast Cancer: Hope At Last, the source of
these cancerous pathogens masquerading in
our food and lifestyles as the lethal Trojan
horse.
This was interesting,
Fungi and their mycotoxins hide unseen in foods we eat and inside us. Because
fungi have been infrequently recognized for
their role in human pathology, and because
their poisonous metabolites (mycotoxins)
are invisible, little attention has been given
to these deadly pathogens in our lives. In
fact, few doctors even know that fungi produce mycotoxins.
Primarily, we recognize the beneficial
role of fungi's antibiotic properties and their life-sustaining qualities when we are
threatened by infection, need surgery, or
seek relief from colds. Conversely, however,
few people know the lethal role certain
fungi and their mycotoxins play in chronic
diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis,
AIDS, gout, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, hyperactive syndrome, infertility, psoriasis, cirrhosis, Alzheimer's disease, scleroderma, Raynaud's disease, sarcoidosis,
kidney stones, amyloidosis, vasculitis, arthritis, and Cushing's disease. Furthermore,
most physicians and researchers are unaware of unpublished pharmaceutical studies showing particular fungi and their
mycotoxins to be so deadly they cannot be
considered for any medicinal use. The authors, in their Fungalbionic Series, detail the fungi/mycotoxin etiology of
the above-named human diseases. In their
recent book, Prevention of Breast Cancer:
Hope At Last, they identify the fungi/
mycotoxins that contaminate our foods and
produce breast cancer. Thus, having outlined
for us which meats, grains, vegetables, fruits,
legumes, cheese, dairy, and other foodstuffs
are likely to be fungi/mycotoxin contaminated, women with breast cancer and their
doctors can begin to identify new ways of
eating to reduce the fungi/mycotoxin exposure that results in breast cancer.
The text is easy to read and understand
both by medical professionals and the general public. The large type and clear organization makes this "science book" a must for
all who are interested in preserving their
health, or their patients' health, and preventing breast cancer. Prevention of Breast Cancer: Hope At Last
is divided into five parts. In Part I, "Fungalbionics: Fungal Toxins Cause Degenerative and Cancerous Diseases," the authors
briefly discuss fungi and their mycotoxins,
showing how they can be both friend or foe. Part II, "The Trojan Horse: Fungi and
Mycotoxins Are in the Food Chain," lists common fungi species and their mycotoxins
which contaminate our foods, then relates the danger of these biologically active substances: they are anti-viral, anti-bacterial,
anti-protozoan, anti-insect, anti-animal,
and of course anti-human. The term “mycotoxin" is derived from the Greek mykes,
meaning "fungus," and toxicum, meaning
"toxin" or "poison." Throughout the book,
the authors present authentic and highly regarded research, significant medical data,
and a clinical perspective on their comprehensive research of the world's fungi/mycotoxin literature on breast cancer. Twenty-four
chapters in Part II point out that these carcinogens are variably present in our foods,
including aflatoxin, cyclosporin, penicillin,
fusarium, ochratoxin, fungal-produced
nitrosamines, aspergillus, candida, and edible mushrooms. Fungal colonization in
houses, fungi/mycotoxins in tobacco, and
mycotoxins in the diet are also discussed as
agents of breast cancer. These include dietary fats that enhance fungi/mycotoxin
cancer potential; meats and their fungi/
mycotoxin contamination; eggs, cheese,
butter, and milk; and many other foodstuffs
which of themselves are not carcinogenic
but contain fungi/mycotoxins causing them
to be carcinogenic.
In Part III, the authors clearly point out
that "Fungi-Mycotoxins Are the Cause of
Breast Cancer." Pointing to Colditz's (1993)
article which reviews the epidemiology of
breast cancer (in the context of hormonal,
hereditary, histologic, and dietary risk factors), they conclude that their published research data will reverse the current helplessness of women fearing breast cancer by
providing a "new level of understanding" regarding the etiology and prevention of
breast cancer.
AFLATOXIN MUTATES THE P53 GENE.
This should raise your eyebrows and cause you to learn more about which foods contain the most aflatoxins.
Also in Part III, the authors
demonstrate that aflatoxin mutates the P53 gene, pointing out that "abnormalities of
the p53 gene are reported in more than 50%
of malignant tumors" (Livni et al. 1995);
these include the lung, breast, and colon.
FOODS THAT CAN LEAD TO CANCER.
Chapters 30-48 in Part IV enumerate
the foods and drinks that cause breast
cancer when contaminated by fungi/mycotoxins. These include alcohol, wine,
beer, bread, cereals, corn, meats, milk, butter, most cheeses, chicken, eggs, fats, margarine, sugar, sweet/fatty desserts, and tobacco. The authors show when these foodstuffs produce breast cancer and when they
do not.
FOODS THAT PREVENT CANCER.
Part V discusses those vitamins,
minerals, and foods that prevent breast
cancer: vitamins A, C, D, E, selenium, calcium, zinc, sunlight, fish, vegetables, garlic
and onions, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes,
carrots, potatoes, soy, olive oil, green tea,
coffee, chocolate and cocoa, rice, pasta,
fruit, fiber, yogurt, and honey.
Natural antifungals recommended by Sarah Pope, in order of tried and true and reliable, are 1) garlic, 2) Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 3) 24-hour homemade Keifer, 4) Manuka honey, 5) oregano oil, 6) Pau d'Arco, and 7) Boron. Interesting list.
The book concludes with a list of approximately 800 studies documenting
the significant research and clinical findings presented.

#2: LIGHT REVIEW OF PREVENTION OF The Garden of Eden Longevity Diet by Tomma Lou Mass
The Garden Of Eden Longevity Diet: Antifungal-Antimycotoxin Diet for the Prevention and Treatment of Cancer, Atherosclerosis, and Other Degenerative Diseases, A.V. Constantini, M.D. Heinrich
Wieland, M.D. Lars I. Qvick, M.D.
I Johann Friedrich Oberlin Verlag,
Freiburg, Germany: 1998. 505 pages, $95
The Trojan horse that secretly infiltrates our lives bringing us cancer, atherosclerosis, and other degenerative diseases
has now been unmasked by the World
Health Organization's authors, Drs. A.V.
Constantini, H. Wieland, and L. Qvick. The
villains, unknown to most of us, are fungi
and their fungal mycotoxins, the poisonous metabolites of fungi, which we eat in
foods and which live in us and are fed by
foods we eat. The pathogenic nature of
fungi and their mycotoxins have played
immense roles in chronic disease and degenerative illnesses but have until now not
been suspected. 247
Book Reviews
In The Garden of Eden Longevity Diet,
the authors show us that what we eat and
how that food has been processed or stored
or prepared is the key to protecting ourselves
from the ravages of cancer, atherosclerosis,
and specific degenerative diseases. This is the third book in the authors'
Fungalbionic Series, illuminating the role of
fungi/mycotoxins in human illness and
health. All of its recipes carry a unique
and far-reaching message:
"This recipe is
antifungal/antimycotoxin. It is anti-cancer,
anti-atherosclerosis, anti-degenerative diseases, and pro health."
This message is based
on the extensive documentation in this and
other volumes of the Fungalbionic Series.
(The first and second books reveal the
fungi/mycotoxin etiology of breast cancer
and atherosclerosis.)
17 chapters of recipes offer
healthful foods in these categories: salads,
dressings, soups, fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, pasta, rice, breads, cookies,
cakes, pies, desserts, and dessert drinks.
These 9 chapters explain how fungi/
mycotoxins cause degenerative and cancerous diseases; how we can shop for food
to avoid risk; how to cook to minimize
fungi/mycotoxin exposure; as well as
other tips on healthful eating.
An Appendix, containing 7 chapters from Prevention of Breast Cancer: Hope At Last,
states the benefits of vitamins A, C, D, E,
selenium, calcium, and zinc for their potent anti-fungal, anti-mycotoxin activity. Not only is this book easy to read and
understand, but its organization will help
one learn how to shop for food and prepare healthful, simple recipes that can
help prevent the development of today's
most chronic illnesses: cancer, atherosclerosis, and other degenerative disease, specifically: AIDS, gout, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, hyperactive syndrome, infertility, psoriasis, cirrhosis, Alzheimer's
disease, scleroderma, Raynaud's disease,
sarcoidosis, kidney stones, amyloidosis,
vasculitis, arthritis, and Cushing's disease.
Additionally, in Chapter 6, facts about
fungi in foods, alcohol, beer, wine, and
tobacco focus the reader on changes in
lifestyle that would remove risks for cancer or atherosclerosis. The "What You Buy Is What You Will
Eat" list aids the shopper in his quest for
food. The "First Things to Purchase" versus the "Quickly Pass By" section helps
strengthen the resolve of the shopper to
stick to “safe” foods for the family, and the
"Shopping List for Garden of Eden Recipes"
guides the serious shopper to minimum
fungi/mycotoxin exposure. The Garden of
Eden Longevity Diet sorts through the most
contaminated foods and offers recipes that
are anti-cancer, anti-atherosclerosis, antifungal, and anti-mycotoxin.
The book documents over 440 significant studies and clinical findings for the
claims made in The Garden of Eden Longevity Diet. Having linked fungi and their
mycotoxins to cancer and other degenerative diseases, the authors present us with
a much-needed, useful book to help us
regain our health in a modern age that can
no longer guarantee us which foods are
safe to eat.
