According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, “yeast infections such as Candida were recognized centuries ago as an indicator of much larger underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus, malignant tumors, and chronic infections—sort of the miners’ canary.”
Years ago when I saw clients, over half of them presented with either an overgrowth of candida or systemic candida. It was apparent in their live blood analyses. Candida doesn’t behave like other fungi–it clusters together much like little grapes. For those suffering from cancer or AIDS, their candida exposure was off the charts. I remember performing a live blood analysis on a medical doctor from Canada with AIDS. He had more candida gumming up his blood than I’d ever seen before.

What Is Candida?

Candida albicans is a type of fungus that lives in places like your mouth, your belly, and even on your skin. Normally, it is present in small amounts and poses no problems. But when the environment is right, the yeast can quickly multiply and grow out of control.
