Volume 12, Number 2, September-October 2008 Books Worth A Look: The Fungus Link By
Doug A. Kaufmann, Copyright 2000 by the author, If you found our last review (The Chronology of the Old
Testament) irrelevant to your daily life, here is a book that almost
certainly affects you, or someone you know. You may be familiar with Candida
yeast infections. But this book shows that Candida is only one of hundreds of
fungi that can infect our bodies. The book’s author does not spend much time
on the biblical perspective, but he does make reference to Leviticus 14. This
writer is beginning to believe that what the King James Bible calls “leprosy”
is really fungus infections in people and buildings. Multiple writers have contributed to this book. The main
author is not an M.D., but several of the others are. Doug Kaufmann has spent
much of his adult life researching and educating on health issues,
particularly in relation to fungus. He is certified by the American Society
of Allergy Technicians and helped devise the first ELISA food allergy tests.
He has written several health related books, does
national radio and TV programs, as well as frequently lecturing around the
country. Dr. David Holland has his M.D. degree from The authors believe there is often a fungal basis for many
of our common and major health problems including allergy, respiratory, heart
and many others. They back up their claims with evidence from major
scientific journals and other M.D.s, as well as the
personal testimonies of some of the many people they have helped. Their solution for fungal problems is fairly simple, but
not necessarily easy for a lot of us to carry out. Basically one needs to go
on a diet that starves the fungus and take an anti-fungal drug or herbal
fungus killer. The diet restricts virtually all sugars. Fungi love sugar! Stevia is allowed and a minimal use of honey. Initially
all grains are eliminated and most fruits. Green apples, avocados, berries
and some citrus are allowed. Thankfully this diet can usually be modified
somewhat after a few weeks. Along with describing a number of fungus related health
issues, the book also takes on some more general problems in the medical
profession itself. On page 83 Kaufmann states: “Charities are often the
public relations entities for the medical communities that they represent.
According to the book Unhealthy Charities, you’d be surprised at who
these “charities” are charitable to.” He continues on page 84: “Less than
five per cent (5%) of the funds raised by the In spite of this Kaufmann does not say one should not go
to an M.D. He just recommends you be very careful and seek medical advice
from a variety of health practitioners. The book also cautions us to be
careful of antibiotics and vaccines in general. Dr. Holland points out on
page 209 that chronic fatigue syndrome began appearing just shortly after the
use of antibiotics became prevalent. Even though reference is made to several technical
journals, this 283 page book is easy to read. It contains an index, charts of
the diet program, some recipes, a ‘frequently asked questions” section, and a
“fungal quotient questionnaire”. In looking at Doug Kaufmann’s website, knowthecause.com, I
discovered there are now two more books in The Fungus Link series. All
are available from this website. In Leviticus chapters 13-15 God gave us some sound basic
advice on how to stay healthy. However because of a possibly poor
translation, “leprosy”; many of us, including most of the medical profession,
may have missed what God was really trying to tell us. Maybe what God was
trying to say was “keep the fungus out!” of our bodies and our dwellings.
Since He inspired Moses to devote 3 chapters to it, it may be important. The Fungus Link takes an unorthodox look at some of
our major health issues. It looks through a different knowledge filter. This
book may be a good start on understanding and dealing with a potentially very
serious problem. & Download Full Issue in PDF: September-October 2008
