Marijuana Aspergillosis

by Hank L. Stoddard III, DM

Damp Marijuana is the perfect breeding ground for Aspergella and many
thousands of other molds. Aspergillosis is the most common fungal infection
in Marijuana smokers caused by aspergella fumigates. Although Marijuana
smokers are commonly exposed to the spores of this fungus, they develop the
disease only under certain conditions. If a human's immune system is
suppressed by a concurrent illness, malnutrition or stress, it may become
sick after exposure. Stress-induced Aspergillosis is frequently seen in
Marijuana smokers subjected to surgery, stress, environmental changes,
confinement, or sitting still for too long.

Aspergella, as well as other fungi, grows readily in damp, dark conditions
with poor ventilation. Encrusted fecal matter, damp furniture, dirty feeding
utensils and food that falls to the floor all encourage mold growth.
Interestingly, we see a high incidence of Aspergillosis in Marijuana smokers
in the southwest where the environment is dry and not conducive to fungal
replication. The speculation is the low humidity, coupled with the dusty
environment, interferes with the normal mucous secretion in the Marijuana
smokers' respiratory tracts and predisposes them to mycoses.

Two forms of Aspergillosis are commonly seen in humans. The first is an
acute generalized form characterized by the fungus in the lower respiratory
tree as well as in the intestinal tract and other organs and liver. Patients
with this form of Aspergillosis exhibit labored respiration, severe
depression and extreme emaciation, and are generally very ill.
Unfortunately, the mortality rate is exceptionally high in this form. The
second form is called a chronic localized form. This is the most common type
of infection seen in humans. This chronic Aspergillosis tends to develop
localized aspergellomas (pockets of fungal infection). The location will
determine the clinical signs. A common place for aspergellomas to localize
in humans is in the sinus cavity, characterized by intermittent mucoid
exudation.

Diagnosis of Aspergillosis can be difficult, at best, other than by autopsy.
Tentative diagnosis can be made with clinical signs as well as the absence
of bacterial infection in moist exudates. A blood test showing an elevation
in white blood cell count, mild anemia and an elevation in the monocytes
also supports this diagnosis. X-rays should be taken on any suspect
patient-many times the radiograph will reveal densities or nodules
consistent with aspergellomas. Additionally, your doctor should take samples
and attempt to culture the fungus in specially prepared culture media. Blood
should also be submitted for serologic evaluation.

If you are diagnosed as having Aspergillosis, appropriate treatment should
be instituted by a qualified fungal unitaterian Doctor. Each treatment
protocol has to be tailored to the individual. A prerequisite for success is
removing the concurrent immunosuppression that exists. This can be
accomplished by management, by treating concurrent maladies and by the
judicious use of immunostimulants. Aggressive antifungal treatment is in
order, either localized or systemic. Surgery may be necessary with certain
localized Aspergellomas, while aggressive nebulization and sinus flushings
are warranted in certain other cases. Additionally, a long-term treatment
schedule should be instituted.

Since they do not have chlorophyll, fungi must absorb food from others.
Since they don't use light to make food, fungi can live in damp and dark
places. Fungi are supposed to "eat" things when they are dead but sometimes
they start eating when the organism is still alive. That is when mycologists
come in to figure out what to give to the infected patient or plant to get
rid of the fungus.

Bad fungus is just good fungus trying to do its job way too early to an
organism. Most commonly, fungi cause something to happen on the skin of
animals or people. This is sometimes called Ringworm, but there is no worm
involved! Ringworm can also be called Tinea or Dermatomycosis. Ringworm can
be found all over the world [1282]. It mostly forms on the foot and scalp.
Some Ringworm is Anthropophilic. Anthropophilic means human (anthro- think
of anthropology) loving (-philic), and you catch this fungus from other
people. Ringworm can also be Zoophilic or Geophilic. Zoophilic means animal
(zoo- just think of going to a real zoo) loving, and this is a fungus you
may catch from your pet. Geophilic means earth (geo- as in geology, or the
earth) loving, of course you get this one from the soil.

Ringworm is the kind of fungus that gets on the body, but some fungus just
irritates the body. Fungus irritates the nose and causes allergies. Over 37
million people have allergies and many of them are caused by fungus.
Buildings can also get sick. Buildings can get some fungi known as
Penicillium and Stachybotrys. They float in the air and can cause watery
eyes and breathing problems.

We also have smut fungi. These fungi live in the soil and are plant
parasites. The name "smut" refers to the ripe galls filled with dark sooty
spores that are formed when the fungus infests a plant. The most well-known
smut fungus is the corn smut, Ustilago maydis. Among others are Microbotryum
violaceum (formerly known as Ustilago violacea) that infects Caryophyllaceae
including Silene species, and Tilletia caries that infects wheat.

may the great spore infect you!

kind,
it seems i lived in a damp climates all my life. one day changing the
horses water so its clean daily, i tip the tub over that holds about i
guess 15 gallons of water. i do this early in morning right before
leaving to work, so in a hurry all the time, so i 'kick the bucket'
over with my shoe as i approach to save a few seconds that add up to
minutes in a year, an hour in a few years, for my work i get paid by
amount work done, not by hour, so i look for short cuts to get to work
faster to pay for the horses food & medical care.
well one day i guess i had tennis(canvas) shoes on, & when i kicked
the bucket, my big toe nail came loose & i lost it after a week or so
of trying to save it. & when it grew back it grew crooked like a
hangnail, sticking up on one side some 1/2 inch then coming back down
to side of toe, so it looks like a bump on the nail. much crud now is
able to get stuck under that part of the nail so i have to clean it
all the time, & i hope for it to grow back normally.

so many years later, i go see a foot doctor for help, but i guess to
get help to make toe nail strait, but doctor says, the fungus it has
will spread to other nails & you will loose them all. so it has to be
pulled never to grow back again. & you need to live in a cool dry
climate. 15 years later toe nail hasn't grown back, & i didn't find a
cool dry place to move to (yet).

now i'm left to have to believe doctor. i had a fungus & didn't know
it. always wearing canvas(vegan) shoes in a damp climate didn't help i
assume. but the killer fungus is now attacking other nails, even on my
hands. so i began to put salve & anti-fungus cream, which stops &
slows the fungus down, but the fight seems to be the fungus slowly
winning. diet wise i hoped by increasing my ph alkaline wise should
help fight off fungus, but it seems so far i'm too late, should of did
that when a child, not many decades later, though back then i didn't
know.

i wonder if eating fungus helps these fuguses survive on us. i like to
eat mushrooms, thinks it healthy to, so weekly i try to eat some
fungus. lately mostly shitake's over the years, portabolas one in a
while, & shantrals which just came out. shantrals i read get nutrients
from root of trees & give back nutrients roots need, while other
funguses eat decaying material. C. formosus and C.subalbidus are
mycorrhizal fungi, that is, fungi that form symbiotic relations with
the roots of certain conifers, especially Douglas-fir and western
hemlock. Mycorrhizal fungi form a web of "hyphae" (one cell wide
threads collectively known as "mycelium") in the soil and also
colonize the young root tips of their arboreal hosts.

The fungus functions as an extended fine root system, absorbing water
and minerals that are translocated to the tree and, in return, the
trees provide the fungus with food (carbohydrates photosynthesized by
the tree). The Pacific golden chanterelle and white chanterelle are
the fruiting bodies of these Cantharellus species.

so i wonder, if i quit eating funguses will that help keep funguses
off my nails & skin? or it doesn't matter. never read or heard any
advice concerning this.

i guess i need to increase my electric processed colloidial silver
that kills 650 known diseases, bad bacteria, funguses & viruses &
parasites. & try to rub it on my nails moreso.

i know people will maybe say, tea tree oil, go for it, which i have,
but maybe not enough. but still has anyone heard of eating funguses
allow them to prosper on ones skin & nails. or if you suffer fungal
diseases on nails, maybe its wise to not eat any? well if thats true,
i failed to convince myself. thats why i guess i am asking concerning
eating funguses & connection to fungal diseases on body, is there any?
i don't think there is! i think as long as a healthy vegan diet is
consumed, fresh raw nuts, vegetables, fruits daily, all the nutrients
will be given that the body needs to stay healthy. though if soil
isn't rich one eats out of, i'd add sea weeds weekly for ionic
minerals. my problem is i waited too long to begin to eat a healthy
vegan diet, but if that diet is eaten from birth, i assume most
diseases won't happen ...

kind,
i forgot, what seems to make me vulnerable is my tonsils were removed
when i was 71/2 years old. lost over a 1/3 of my weight, was bed
ridden for 2 weeks before i could go out & play again. refused free
ice scream, jello, candy, all these goodies children like me whom live
in snowy climate crave, have no facts how they are made or who it is
or was that is now a treat, not food, i liked it as a treat, hunger
was only what drove to consume more of ice cream, jello & candy, in
fact i wonder if desires made their way into my brain & agreed to have
tonsils removed just so more ice cream & candy & jello will be offered
to consume, for thats what they promised if i agree to have my tonsils
removed. because they are swollen(from too much candy, ice cream,
jello, sugar- i'm assuming)but i thought it was a disease attacking me
that defeated my tonsils, so they need to be removed or swallowing the
candy & ice cream will be difficult if at all. so says the bad
bacteria, viruses, funguses, parasites that were able to strive in my
body then, but i didn't understand that consciousness. sweet is equal
a miracle, so candy, sugar, jello, ice cream loaded with sugar if what
i lived for, it was anti-depressing to me, which depression leads one
to do actions one wishes they didn't do, such as being mean, angry
irritated, nasty like disturbed bears we here about(why bears like
honey, huh), & such where happiness is lacking as the personalty
people have to deal with that one needs harmony with as peace seems to
dictate needs to be done, peace with others.

so i thought tonsils removed was a good thing! wrong!!! its as
removing the best part of the brain. the part that identifies
pathogens that come from breathing, eating, drinking, & makes & helps
make anti-bodies to stop them for they can kill you, & at least cause
you & others much discomfort, that death is waiting for one to except.
except some discomfort the wickedness silently asks, like stay
depressed, & death shall be then able to claim you, is the way of the
living then. as a child, one didn't challenge such reality.

but today the internet claims most doctors say, don't remove the
tonsils, whats needed is fresh raw vegetables, fruits, & nuts, & fresh
air. breathing over & over the air inside of a house because all
windows are sealed shut to keep freezing air out & fireplace putting
out smoke & candy, ice cream, & such cause tonsils to be swollen.
doctors back then did house calls, but i was too young to discuss such
issues. too ignorant. too much calamity has happened for too long
without letup or relief enough historically.

so with tonsils the body may of thrown off or/& destroyed the funguses
attacking my nails & other such problems of fungus that could happen &
other types of problems of that nature. the right amount is needed in
body, too much causes them to be a disease.

i thought what i was doing was so righteous i think i convinced my 2
year old baby brother the next year to have his removed, for peace's
sake. & little brothers have a tendency to go along with older
brothers it seems & had his removed when doctors said his were swollen
& its up to him(little brother) if they should be removed. but maybe
little brothers have more going on then what older brothers can know,
& whats needed is to know that, but not knowing that, ones
compassionate feelings go forth & hope they are doing the best they
can do in helping.

thats one defense system, to keep what harms you away from you. it
seems it better to go down fighting then to give up thinking being
weaker will keep the enemy away, because your not a threat when weaker
& they appear as a bully then beating up on the weaker. which justice
seemingly in civil life will attend to, to cause peace, to not allow
bullies to proper, so civil courts exist & civil government to help
keep bullies from harming weaker people like themselves. chruches too
help maintain the peace, help bring resolution when bullies don't know
they are bullying or seem to think not much of it when they should
refrain.

i believe life produces the body to survive, & doctors agree in the
majority to keep tonsils, & treat the cause of the problem instead.
though hard to breathe & panic may happen, & poverty makes it seem
impossible to live the required way where fresh raw vegetables,
fruits, nuts & fresh air in a snowy climate isn't affordable, faith is
asked of one, to go for it anyways, go for that your needs shall be
met that are real needs, that though its reported thousands of
children die daily from hunger & starvation & malnutrition & lack of
medical care, & housing & clothing, that shouldn't deter one from
going for it as what slang calls it, for the formal words seems hard
to grasp as to how should it be said.

to have faith, & believe life shall supply whats needed for peace to
happen, so believe fresh raw vegetables, fruits, & nuts & fresh air
shall be supplied & any drastic changes in the way of life to live,
one shall be informed & properly changed to meet the way that is
beginning to happen that is different. so till then believe your
requirements of your body for nutrients shall be supplied. its trying
to convince a 7 1/2 year old & a 2 year old, that candy & ice cream
that is promised if tonsils are removed that won't happen if not
removed is not the righteous choice it seems that needs to be made,
but desire the food grown ups supply on the dinner table as better to
eat then scoring candy & ice cream on the outside that dinner &
breakfast & lunch isn't giving.

how much did my little brother want more candy & ice cream in that
freezing snowy weather where one is trapped indoors by snow for months
at a time. consciousness happening to children is the biggest it
seems, work required by humanity to produce a more happily state of
mind, where its more conscious as a baby youth when able to walk, that
choosing wisdom is whats needed when not knowing the details of whats
happening such as what are tonsils anyways. wisdom may be choosing the
way that is happening & being more content with whats offered, curb
desires for more treats that are consumed. bridle the tongue as the
book of james claims in the holy bible, which is a wild fire, that
tamed, the whole body is tamed is what i recall it reads. but i
thought it meant concerning speech, to not say bad words & have bad
attitude in speech. whereas to choose the proper nutrients & be
content with them & not allowing the tongue that rules taste it seems
have its way to party out on candy, because its given as gifts on
halloween, birthdays, christmas, easter, along with ice cream is a
birthday gift with much with cake, loaded with sugar like candy. &
jello i added sugar to or has sweetener like cherry flavored. don't
forget doughnuts.

i grew up believing religion is the job that brings forth adequet
consciousness, (ones)a conscience that is able to be developed,
evolved, made more real, by not neglecting it when desires of the
world make its way after being born into here with choices that tempt
because one doesn't know enough about the world & its ways such as
delivering food & the work going into it. tv is a childs only real
source of the world, other then that the child is subject to the
attention given by its guardian as to what is to happen. & if they
have to work & divorce, seperation or some other tragedy happens, tv &
today the internet is the only source of help till school happens, for
in snowy climates going out to play with friends just isn't happening
till older where one can handle the snow of 2 feet on ground for 5
months without end, then one can go play & have snowmans built, etc..
with friends outside, but when night happens, its back inside, not
like summer able to stay out till late because its warm.

i never believed civil government can deliver the needs i mention here
needed by a young child & children. they deal with the working world,
& happenings happening basically from over seas that don't directly
have to deal with church as in church building were they teach to be
aware of ones conscience & be consciencious to others & life around
one, be responsible, believe in life will help you, holy is there for
you. while civil government has nothing to do other then have one obey
its rules & laws it has now in its power that never happened before to
one but now mankind has these kinds of power, where it rely's not on
life supplying it conscience, but produced the conscience it wants to
prosper throughout its delegated land upon the people that dwell their
& extend that freedom to other lands where they enjoy the same
prosperity from their home land nation that one is entitled to if one
goes their civily as in not be harmed like in ones own homeland if in
what they call their homeland, for civil reality rules the world that
way. whereas religion life is supposed of done that for all people,
but failed to deliver fast enough in details that come up from working
that need to be addressed but a child can't fathom unless something is
there such as some gene that gives consciousness at birth & if not
activated one never knows
the ways of the working worl that exists, so tallys in make believe or
the scene i just described. depending on school to be its future as a
baby sitter maturing the young till they can make the plunge like a
bird jumping off the tree & flying high not hitting the ground &
becoming injured or dying. but flying high with the clouds in safety
moreso then what existed in the nest. but death the media claims is
still there collecting everyone like taxes to be collected & no one
escapes, not not one, not one person from 150 years ago is know to be
alive, & if so, in religions discription of after life promised, for
civil life promises nothing else then to be remembered, that life will
keep you alive though the world claims your dead, your alive still
unto life that loves you moreso then the time it takes for the planet
to come to an end. that love will still be upholding you keeping you
alive enough to satisfy your need of be able to live, & live happily &
prosperly in all kindness of life. holy spirit love, holiness love,
shall be there for you in future though the mind may not be able to
grasp that yet, holy shall comfort you, keep you so your life may live
into eternity happily ever after.

well i hope this helps children be able to chose the wise way though
it may seem the natural way, what judgement can one give as to what is
right for one to do. life leads ones life, choices seem right to one,
but another it may not be so. & thats just the same gender one really
relates to. for the opposite gender as its put, has needs the other
gender doesn't have.

i vote for keeping ones tonsils so that fungus claimed here that is a
killer that is the reason that started this post about how harmful it
is, is not able to win over one. life shall overcome, one way or
another. when challenged by obstacles, such as a fungus able to harm
one because life put them in harms way. can we say a lack of life
caused that? what in wisdoms sake in eternity does plans happen that
life should choose that to happen to one where this article is written
about a terror called fungus that secretly awaits to claim your life,
because of the hazards it claims has been put in your life that
happened, as it so claims.

should one give up a hand, a foot, an ear, etc..., no, one needs them,
its part of the requirement needed to live on earth, given though
pregnancy, that all people on earth had to have to be here today. how
it started is lifes dealings, how its happening now, we are also
concerned, & we are given this body to cherish, so let us keep our
tonsils. lets not steal childrens happiness that is planned on
happening because they have tonsils, that shall not happen because
tonsils are gone, like a hand or a an eye, etc... grant children the
right to life that is being stolen from them. let our tax money come
to the aid of those suffering conditions that are forcing their
children to have their tonsils removed, when treatment can happen.
what else may one do?.... to help children whom aren't understanding
the full consequences that an adult can learn but still not know if
not informed concerning the function of tonsils.

like breasts on a girl, just because they become larger at puberty
doesn't mean they should be removed(not counting breast cancer that
happens). tonils are meant to become larger then normal as to not
making it difficult to swallow or breathe, but treatment can happen so
they remain at a proper size or go back to that size. preventive
medicine, fresh raw vegetables, fruits & nuts daily keeps tonsils
healthy. toxics & cooked & processed foods & junk foods is whats
harmful that cause tonsils to become enlarged from being infected from
pathogens happening.

cooking food over 116 degrees allows the digestive enzymes that
ripened that plant to die that would of helped you obtain the
nutrients from the plants consumed, now ones pancreas's resorvoir of
digestive enzymes is taxed & used up, that in a couple of decades,
even less then that, fatigue happens from lack of nutrients in food
eaten, waste build up from lack of nutrients obtained from plants
eaten & diseases such as funguses can happen. today plant based
digestive enzymes is available, eaten with cooked food or eaten to
rebuild ones resorvoir, i found fatigue vanished when consumed when
cooked foods have been eaten. apathy seems to vanish also. but is
costly at todays prices i find, so poverty stricken people are made
loosers there. there should be medical aid today that like other
medicines given to restore health, plant based digestive enzymes are
available. in powder form or vegan capsules or tablet. insurance
converage.

doctors are teaching you can moniter your childs hidden health to keep
them healthy. ph litmus paper. test the saliva & urine for 2 weeks in
a role, 8 hours after eating. the average should be 7.2ph, the blood
is 7.4ph. below 7.0ph is acidic instead of alkaline. acidicness allows
pathogens to live in ones body such as bad bacteria funguses, viruses,
& parasites that shouldn't be there. eating animals, after the body
removed the nutrients an acidic ash is left over that causes the ph to
become more acidic instead of staying slightly alkaline. acidosis its
called, that is wrecking havoc across america the news claims & the
world. so more time & energy is needed to helping the food industry
become better then what it is. for even drinking acidic water can
cause diabetis. water drank should be full of negative hydrogen ions
the most powerful anti-oxidant that destroys pathogens then is
utilized by the body as energy. used to be all fresh water so all
animals stayed healthy. but now as age has happened of the planet, the
planets surface waters is lacking these precious helpers, except in
old glaciers that stored these ionic particles over the ages as they
rained down from the heavens.

what i don't know is if a healthy ozone layer happens does that cause
a raining down of negative hydrogen ions that fills the waters such as
rivers, streams & wells whereas people & wildlife begin to become
healthier, stay healthier. i assume plants is prospered by it also,
but know not yet concerning this. other then plants help bring
negative hydrogen ions into us by way of fresh raw fruits, vegetables
& nuts. what other way does these helpers fill the waters? does the
sun pour them out but hasn't recently? so a refill should be happening
soon.

well i think i've said enough for now, i don't know what else to say,
i'm looking for more of the answer.
