 The shift from coffee to tea occurred in 1869 when the coffee crop was wiped out by an invasion of a deadly fungus. With the coffee crop in ruins, the plantation owners looked for a way to save the island's economy and found that tea was just the replacement they needed. Since then, tea has remained an important export product for Sri Lanka.
It's clear, from the rich history of tea, that this wonderful beverage was too enjoyable to remain confined to just one corner of the world. |
| Then, to lessen the likelihood that the fungus infection will flare up again, dried tea leaves (used or fresh) are placed in the patient's socks when they are stored in a drawer. Washing the hair normally, and then rinsing it in strong tea leaves it shiny and soft. Fatigued eyes can be reinvigorated by a wash of very weak green tea.
Green tea can play mteresting roles in cooking other than its usual role as a beverage. A unique effect can be achieved when tea is used in the preparation of hard-boiled eggs. |
| The coffee crop in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) is decimated by fungus. Tea crops are grown as a replacement and become an important export product for this country.
Today Tea's popularity continues to grow as scientific research details the health benefits of this beverage.
Emperor Shen Nong (who lived at about the same time as Moses) believed that boiling water before drinking it was a key to continued good health. While he was boiling water in his garden, a leaf from a nearby bush wafted into his pot. |

 AZOLE
The azole drugs ketoconazole (Nizoral), miconazole (Monistat), clotrimazole (Mycelex, Lotrimin), and fluconazole (Diflucan) inhibit the development of the fungus membrane. Side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and headache. These drugs can also cause liver damage, exfoliative skin reactions, kidney damage, and allergic reactions, but these effects are rare. Clotrimazole, which is commonly used for jock itch, ringworm, and athletes foot, should not be used for diaper rash. |

 Scientists and researchers have added to this discovery and it now appears that no disease causing organism, bacteria, virus, fungus, yeast, parasite, amoeboid, or cancer cell can live and reproduce in a high oxygen, increased electron, alkaline body environment.13
As cellular oxygen increases, fermentation in cells decreases, and cellular metabolism improves. Food is "burned" more efficiently. Obnoxious bacteria and parasites are killed, and excess fat storage is reduced. If the body was overweight, it begins to lose weight. Daily energy also increases. Figure 10. |

 Sometimes, of course, blight can overwhelm the protection solanine provides. The fungus was responsible for the devastating Irish potato famine in the mid-nineteenth century that led to mass starvation, death, and emigration from Ireland.
In England during the 1960s, plant breeders worked to develop a blight-resistant potato, in order to increase the efficiency of potato crops. They called their special spud the Lenape.The first person who ate a Lenape potato didn't feel very special, though—it contained so much solanine, it was nearly deadly. |

| Production: Ergot consists of the sclerotium of Claviceps purpurea, a parasitic fungus harvested after it has grown on cultivated rye. |
| Flower and Fruit: The giant form of this fungus attains a diameter of 20 to 50 cm and a weight of 9 kg. The outer covering is at first whitish, smooth and downy. It later turns gray-yellow or ochre, develops grooves and patches, and starts to break off from above. The now-visible inner section bursts at the vertex and disintegrates. The content is composed of a whitish mass, which turns yellow and mushy and finally breaks down into greenish-brown spore dust. A cup-shaped receptacle with torn edges remains.
Habitat: Lycoperdon species are indigenous to Europe. |

 This is when a drug has been approved for one thing -- such as foot fungus -- but is prescribed by a doctor for something entirely different, for which it has never been tested: Such as asthma. It's an extremely common practice, and it's entirely unregulated.
What is the FDA's view of this issue, where doctors are prescribing drugs for health conditions that they've never been tested for? No problem! The FDA is perfectly fine with it. There's no need to test the drugs for those other conditions at all! |

 If you are using a sprouting tray, you have to watch the sprouts to make sure they don't get mold or fungus, and removing the sprouts from the tray can be a bit of a hassle because the roots usually grow through the holes in order to get to the water at the bottom.
Even though low-cost sprouting devices may seem inexpensive at first, my experience is that they will cost you more in time than they are worth in savings. So, for the last couple of years I have been using higher-end sprouting machines. |
| Be sure to use drops of hydrogen peroxide in your sprout water to eliminate the growth of fungus, mold and bacteria in your sprouts. It works extremely well.

 Fluconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole fight a variety of fungi, including many species of Candida (yeastlike fungus). They destroy fungus cells by interfering with their ability to manufacture ergosterol, an important ingredient in their cell walls.
Fluconazole is used primarily to treat oral or vaginal Candida and certain ailments associated with AIDS.
Itraconazole is used to treat various fungal infections in patients with weakened immune systems, fungal infections of the nails, and other ailments. |

 Mushrooms are fungus. They scavenge on organic matter. Where do you find them? Growing on decaying wood, or worse (cow patties, anyone?). That means they are able to absorb—and then safely eliminate—toxins. I don't know about you, but I'd like to put them to work doing that in my own body, and eating them appears to be a great way to do it.
Maitake
Maitake comes from the Japanese word meaning "dancing mushrooms"; according to urban legend, foragers danced with joy when they found it. According to some legends, the little mushroom could be traded for its weight in precious metals. |

| In fact, that wouldn't necessarily be in the virus's (or fungus's or bacteria's) interest. Too much promiscuity on the part of the host could disable it with other, potentially more damaging, diseases. And that would leave the parasite stuck in a host that couldn't get around. From the sexually transmitted parasite's point of view, it may want you to have more sex—but not too much sex.
As far as diseases influencing human sexual behavior, some researchers are examining the possibility that genital herpes may affect human sexual feeling in a way that could influence behavior. |

| Brewer's yeast consists of the dried, pulverized cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of fungus. It's inactive yeast, meaning the yeasts have been killed and have no leavening powder. Brewer's yeast is actually the yeast remaining after beer or alcohol making. It's generally regarded as a health food because it is easily digested and has a high nutrient content. It's a rich source of the B-complex vitamins, all essential amino acids, and fifteen minerals, particularly chromium, an important trace mineral that helps the hormone insulin do its job better in the body. |

 Earwax protects our ears from water, fungus, and a host of germs. It also traps dust and dirt that routinely enter our ears—or even the occasional stray fly, ant, or other tiny unwanted creature. But if your ear is turning out gobs of wax, it may be a weird warning sign that you're on a diet that's too low in fat.
Excess earwax can also be a telltale sign that you're overzealously cleaning out your ears. Ironically, aggressive cleaning can cause your ear to become impacted with wax. |
| These white marks can also signal such conditions as nail warts or fungus (onychomycosis) or such skin conditions as psoriasis and eczema, which can affect the nails. White nail spots can be one of the several signs of the systemic condition sarcoidosis, which affects the skin, lungs, and other organs. (See Scaly Patches on the Face, below, and Appendix I.) If the nail is soft in addition to having white spots—known as Plummer's nails—it can be a clue to hyperthyroidism. (See Appendix I. |

 A terrible fungus destroyed the potato crops in Ireland in 1856, devastating the economy in what has now become known as "The Great Irish Potato Famine."
Where Are Potatoes Grown?
Potatoes are mainly grown in Poland, India, the Russian Federation, China, and the United States.
Why Should I Eat Potatoes?
A medium-sized potato contains nearly half of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C, and with the skin on, potatoes supply twenty-one percent of the daily value of potassium. By comparison, the potato has as much vitamin C as a medium tomato and twice as much potassium as a banana. |
| Mushrooms are actually the "fruits" of fungus called mycelium, growing in soil, wood, or decaying matter. There are thousands of varieties of mushrooms, ranging in size, shape, texture, and color. Some more popular types include black trumpet, chanterelles, cloud ears, lobster, morels, oyster, porcini, portobella, shiitake, truffles, white button, and wood ear mushroom. Mushrooms impart a fifth taste sense called unami in Japanese, translated to mean "savory" or "meaty." Not all edible mushrooms are used in cooking; some are used for medicinal benefits and are sold in supplement form. |

| No one is quite sure why, but Roundtree speculates that the beta-glucans "trick" immune system cells into thinking they're under attack (mushrooms are, after all, fungus, and maybe the cells think the harmless little critters are dangerous. Who knows? Point is, the immune system is stimulated by them). Many studies have confirmed beta-glucans' wide range of protective effects, including improved resistance to infections, liver protection, and cardiovascular benefits. It also appears to help inhibit tumor growth in mice. |
| Brewer's yeast fell out of favor largely because better ways of obtaining higher-dose chromium became available (supplements) and because so many people have chronic yeast problems, which can conceivably be made worse by taking brewer's yeast, even though the yeast itself is inactive and not related to the Candida albicans fungus that causes yeast infection. Brewer's yeast also causes lots of gas in some beginners. |

 To prevent toenail fungus, follow the same guidelines as for athlete's foot prevention: keep your feet dry and wear dry socks and well-ventilated shoes. If you develop toenail fungus, file or sandpaper the affected nail. Then, mix some thyme or oregano oil into tea tree oil, put the solution on a cotton ball and then tape the cotton ball directly onto the toenail. Garlic, turmeric, cinnamon bark, clove, tulsi and neem may also be used as part of your antifungal herbal oil. |
