Macular degeneration and Candida

Candida and Macular Degeneration are linked through an inflammatory pathway that alters the genetic response of our body's DNA. The research was conducted by the National Institutes for Health (NIH), National Eye Institute (NEI), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121128093919.htm?utm_source=feed...


["Our findings are epigenetic in nature, meaning that the underlying DNA is normal but gene expression has been modified, likely by environmental factors, in an adverse way," said Dr. Robert Nussenblatt, chief of the National Eye Institute (NEI) Laboratory of Immunology. Environmental factors associated with AMD include smoking, diet, and aging. "This is the first epigenetic study revealing the molecular mechanisms for any eye disease."

The study identified decreased levels of DNA methylation, a chemical reaction that switches off genes, on the interleukin-17 receptor C gene (IL17RC). The lack of DNA methylation led to increased gene activity and, in turn, increased levels of IL17RC proteins in patients with AMD. IL17RC is a protein that promotes immune responses to infections, such as fungal attacks.]

This same Interleukin17 (IL17) inflammatory pathway has linked fungal candida to the development of arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, psoriasis, and other autoimmune diseases.

  1. There are many informatoin on MS & macular degeneration treatment which is very important for the patient of ms. My brother is also suffering from MS and we are giving him this treatment since it is cheaper than the rest.
