'After coming home from Vietnam, I felt like a parasite had entered my body and was reprogramming everything from my gut to my brain.' -Doug K. Armed only with curiosity and a library card, Kaufmann set out to try to discover the cause of his symptoms. A library book on parasitology at USC Medical School, where he worked on research projects in the 1970's with Dr. Everett Hughes, led him to many answers. He finally understood that parasitic fungus was causing his health problems. 'Every veteran of foreign wars knows that hygiene is the least of their concerns when in a war zone. We were constantly wet and filthy and this likely led to fungal growth in our lungs or on our skin. once inside our bodies, these fungi can emit poisons that endanger health. We simply did not know this in 1971.' But we know now Doug, and a big thanks to you for sharing all of your research! In this show lets dig in to how fungus is a key culprit in all disease. Symptoms and treatments will be discussed.
