“Mushrooms” – underestimated and often untreated
In general, ignoring and not treating pathogenic yeasts has a variety of consequences. The misjudgment of the serious health damage caused by the Candida genus (e.g. its species albicans, tropicalis, famata, glabrata, guilliermondii, krusei, parapsilosis) is a widespread problem. This can lead to serious illnesses, either acutely or over the course of many years.
Because of the high prevalence, a kind of "habituation" to the presence of pathogenic yeasts has occurred in humans. Even experts often accept that the immune system "can cope with the fungi". However, from a medical point of view, this is extremely questionable.
In more than 2.000 publications in the middle of the last century Prof. Dr. Dr. HH Rieth Together with colleagues at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, we used many examples to point out the dangers of yeast.
Even though little research is being conducted in this area today, there are occasional publications that clearly show how dangerous this misjudgment is, especially with regard to the immune system.
