DIET NOTES
( Personal Research and Observations )
” Is Malassezia Coming to Dinner?…”
* I Eat with NUTRITION, IMMUNITY and SUSTENANCE in mind *
*
Apart from Malassezia, there are also other types of yeast, like Candida,
which plague female Vaginas and certain foods are supposed to be avoided
so i can see how the sugar etc camp and principle, can include Malassezia
in the same category.
I am not quite certain about the validity of it – because i have not yet
been able to verify it and i have no way so far determining if Malassezia
feeds from the Blood stream, from Skin surface particles
or from Genital / Intestinal Canal readily available substances.
I know the sugar quantity in the blood is regulated by insulin, therefore
there is always a necessary amount present, so how is this affecting
Malassezia???… constant supply no matter what one eats since all is
converted by the body into basic elements?
No explanations offer in-depth or satisfactory answers, and until then i rely
on my own continuing observations, ever ready to change where i stand
as i always prefer facts than deceptive points of convenient false security.
OCT 12
(Proof to this is the complete reconstruction of my Original Blog
and Corrections of earlier Entries prior to Malassezia Identification )
I often get the feeling, that eating simple sugars -both of good or bad type-
may affect its growth – yet i am still not clear as to how.
My feeling is somewhat fortified by the fact of marked hyperactivity
after such consumption -even though only of the natural beneficial type-
but again, hyperactivity does not necessary mean proliferation
simply much like when i have fever and activity is reduced as far down
as 3-5% of normal – or lower, and does not necessarily mean elimination.
I have also noticed that when i get a rash of adrenalin in my blood
Malassezia goes absolutely berserk with activity
and again this only means unsettling and activity rather than proliferation.
One fact to be considered is that ‘unsettling’ and induced ‘activity’
most likely means ‘Aggravation’ of Malassezia to some existing conditions
of which the appearance or symptoms have not been present, obvious
or as severe previously.
Going one step further, and knowing both from articles -all so far in agreement-
as well as of my own experience, that it is LIPOPHILIC i.e likes and grows in Oil,
any Excess and /or Undigested/Unprocessed by the body, Oils/Fats, Sugars
that end up in the Descending Colon, most likely Become Very Inviting to Malassezia!
that end up in the Descending Colon, most likely Become Very Inviting to Malassezia!
An interesting concept for some “Restless Leg Syndrome” sufferers to consider!
(One or two 2 Ltr Clean, Warm Water Enemas
can help Clear Both… the Malassezia Restaurant
as well as, some quantity of the Evil Diners!… Lol!)
Therefore My diet is 100% OIL / FAT FREE
of Both Cooked or Raw Bottled Oils
or as Contained in Fatty Meats
(being a Vegetarian).
My Fat supply comes from Natural sources such as Avocados, 3 per day
if price allows and small quantity of Nuts and Seeds – Raw / Unsalted.
Sugars off all kinds are also Out, including some of the rich sugar fruit variety,
which i only avoid for other reasons, i.e.
insomnia, light headedness, difficulty concentrating etc. such as:
Watermelon – Pears – Apples – and occasionally Pineapple
I allow myself to highly and without any restrain indulge to my heart’s content
on Mangoes
during their brief three month season each year.
Another Rich Sugary Category i avoid mainly due to additives and/or Sulphur Drying
is the entire range of Dried Fruits.
One Naughty exception from time to time has been the heavenly …
(pleasurable moaning comes to mind here) … Turkish Dry Figs, eaten with Nuts!
And to …Hey with any consequences! … as this is one of my few weaknesses, Lol!
( Thats how i feel like when i eat them! )
The Fruits i consume in very large amounts, throughout the fortnight,
some bought in carton quantities, are:
Bananas – Pawpaw- Avocado- Mangoes (when available)
and small quantities of Cherries – Strawberries- and Grapes.
I also eat small amounts of Raw / Unsalted Nuts and Seeds
and take a variety of health Supplements
(which individually tested present or absent have made no difference)
All in all, as i have already mentioned above
I Concentrate Mainly on Nutrition and Natural / Unprocessed / Raw Foods.
(Yes, I do eat Mushrooms! – excluding them for a time also made No difference)
OCT 12 :
Since the Yoghurt addition in my diet i have not had any craving for Mushrooms and have not eaten for as many months – but again no difference…
In regards to DIET and the Malassezia Problem, as i also have mentioned above
through both observations and reasoning, i tend to come to the conclusion,
as often that :
* What i Eat, Perhaps Might Make some Difference
as that
* It makes NO Difference what-So-Ever- No matter What i Eat
The Jury is still out there, as far as i am concerned…
Having said that, it must be Noted that since i Never Eat
Meats, Fats, Legumes, Sweets, Chocolates, Cakes, Colas, Pastries, etc
i cannot comment on either Positive or Negative effects
on Malassezia Presence, Activity or Proliferation if consuming or cutting down.
My gut feeling is – that many Should be Avoided and if i were eating them
they would be the first i would eliminate just on suspicion.

I am still experimenting, have omitted temporarily certain foods such mushroom,
figs and nuts but have not seen substantial difference enough to confirm a theory.
One new addition though has certainly made a great deal of difference:
During the Acidophilus Experiment conducted recently
i discovered that the Inulin, a natural occurring plant sugar
contained in the Capsules, gave me tremendous headaches.
So, from the beginning of March, i started reducing both frequency
as well as dosage of capsule administration
but on a parallel i attempted to re-introduce Yoghurt in my diet tentatively,
as it used to cause me strong asthma reaction and chest tightness,
initially a teaspoon at a time, since with heaven’s luck,
i discovered one yoghurt type that not only does not cause me
the above problems but it is even soft on my kidneys
that have always given me trouble with dairies.
The teaspoon progressed to tablespoon and before long it was increased
to the current generous quantity of 200g – 250g x 3 Daily,
one with each meal, of a Fat Free Beauty – many Aussies would know as:
Each serving of 100g contains 600, 000 000
Probiotic ABC = Acidophilus, Bifidus, Casei
which means my Daily intake provides
600, 000 000 x 2 = 1,200 000 000 x 3 daily
equals: 3, 600 000 000 Billion.

One full year has past since this Entry was first published
and more due to health circumstances than choice
have dictated or forced changes that greatly deviate
from the heavenly existence of the Fruit Paradise
as described above bringing to light a whole lot
of New information as well as answers
to some of the questions and uncertainties
regarding the effect of Diet on Malassezia.
