Dating back to the 19th century, scientists have known that bacteria and other microscopic organisms routinely live on or inside our bodies, usually without making us acutely sick. But it’s only in the past few decades that we’ve started to appreciate the importance of these microbial communities, or microbiomes, to our well-being and health. And it’s only more recently that we’ve begun to closely study the microbiomes found within cancers.
Much of the early research into these cancer microbiomes has focused on bacteria. But while fungi are less abundant in the human body, they’re still thought to play a vital role in how microbiomes influence our health. These new papers, both published Thursday in the journal Cell, are some of the first to try creating a rough map of the fungal microbiome found within our cancers.
One of these studies involved researchers from the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine as well as the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. Looking at more than 17,000 blood and tissue samples that were taken from cancer patients, they were able to find low amounts of fungi across 35 different types of cancer.
Across the different cancer types, the microbiomes had different mixes of fungal species, but there were some common trends noticed by Knight and his team. These fungi usually appeared to be intracellular, meaning that they live inside cancer cells. They also found evidence that the fungi and bacteria within these cancers commonly interact with each other, and often not in a competitive way. Perhaps more importantly, the team found associations between these fungal microbiomes and aspects of the cancer itself, such as its response to immunotherapy treatments.

Have to ping Fungi, of course.
I’m not a medical guy or scientist....but isn’t fungal relatively easy to control or ‘kill’?
I am.
Fungi are extracellular pathogens.

The mitochondria inside your cells, which turn glucose+oxygen into energy, are independent organisms with their own DNA lines, which were incorporated into your cells as symbiots long ago.

There are a few things that kill fungi easily, including iodine.
Iodine is a treatment after exposure to radiation and it may be that radiation killed off beneficial bacteria, allowing fungi could take over. Taking iodine would then kill the fungi.
Dr Royal Rife discovered this long ago, but was silenced and murdered for it. Much like Tesla.
Thanks. I either forgot that or never knew it. High School bio was a LONG time ago!
Then they cannot be intracellular?
The Gizmodo reporter apparently got confused by the paper

It’s looking like fungal DNA is being found inside tumor cells. Possibly, non-human DNA contaminating the nucleus may mess things up and cause uncontrolled reproduction.
I’d be interested in your take on this paper.
Dr. Hulda Clark was ostracized and persecuted for implementing this in her medical practice and forced to practice across the border in Mexico…
I downloaded the pdf and will read the whole thing.
Looks interesting, the methodology is outside of my expertise but the concepts are not. Cell is a respected journal with good reviewers, if the association is real it might be that the method of the cell attacking the fungus “flips a switch” to dysregulate cell growth.
Certainly fungal INFECTIONS are common in cancer patients, but treating and eradicating the fungi in that case does not seem to downregulate the cancer, unfortunately.
Yes...as in sodium bicarbonate. You oxidize the fungi with Base/ alkaline ingredients. The fungus thrives off of a high acidic pH in the body.
Could this also explain why dogs can sniff out certain cancers?
90% of all tree have an association with fungi called mycorrhiza. The fungus forms a mantle around the roots of the plant allowing it to extract more water and minerals from the soil. Some mycorrhiza are extracellular, some are intracellular. Then there are endophytes, fungi that live inside a plant but cause it no harm. In forest soils, 90% of the biomass is fungus, 50% in agricultural soils. Fungi rule the world.

Not really. Athlete's foot, for example, is a fungal infection and can be remarkably difficult to treat. The interesting issue here is to know which fungi are good for us, and which are not.
