Could a good amount of humans be partially controlled by fungi or other micro-organisms? You see it in insects etc all the time. You have things like rabies. Maybe the reason your rear end eats or drinks so much sugar or PURE sugar (booze)is to feed some candida in your gut. Could improper use of antibiotics be to blame? Like Doctors should have to prescribe a regiment of good probiotics after doses of antibiotics. Otherwise, malignant microbes in the gut and whatnot gain ground and demand lovely foods and sugary drinks and boozy booze; because: It's YEAST. The motherfucker with a bagrillion motherfucking chromosones and you didn't think that motherfucker would lay some whoopass on bitches? Let's develop a prophylactic cure for yeast.

I dunno, smart docs seem to have patients take probiotics for stuff like UC and Crohn's. Also apparently tons of allergies are causes by having lovely fauna. Kind of sucks to be in a club that dissuades that kind of thinking.

Also, when you think about it, if all that kind of allergic whatnot poo poo is happening at a low level inflammation level, isn't that not really a good thing long term either?

cordyceps is cool and interesting to read about its a horrible zombie parasite but for insects and poo poo apparently ants can tell when another ant has it and they carry them away from the nest or whatever then mushrooms erupt from their bodies later on

you know whats freakier than fungus? The Prion. it sounds like a lovely car but really it's just a configuration of a protein that exists naturally in your brain, though nobody knows what its really for. Proteins can form in all sorts of shapes ofc, but if this particular one learns to twist up in a particular shape it's so stable that the body's own regeneration methods can no longer remove it. Also, somehow, it can pass this configuration on indefinitely. It's like ice9 for your brain.

if candida is controlling your mind and robbing you of your life essence, you have a severely compromised immune system or you are in the advanced stages of AIDS. I would suggest oil pulling, colonic irrigation, master cleanse, and then butt-chug some free trade, rain forest friendly coffee for good measure. I heard from the internet that this works. Stay safe yeast beast.

There was some science recently that says yes. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bies.201400071/full http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/08/your-gut-bacteria-want-you-to-eat-a-cupcake/378702/ quote:Microbes in the gastrointestinal tract are under selective pressure to manipulate host eating behavior to increase their fitness, sometimes at the expense of host fitness. Microbes may do this through two potential strategies: (i) generating cravings for foods that they specialize on or foods that suppress their competitors, or (ii) inducing dysphoria until we eat foods that enhance their fitness. We review several potential mechanisms for microbial control over eating behavior including microbial influence on reward and satiety pathways, production of toxins that alter mood, changes to receptors including taste receptors, and hijacking of the vagus nerve, the neural axis between the gut and the brain. We also review the evidence for alternative explanations for cravings and unhealthy eating behavior. Because microbiota are easily manipulatable by prebiotics, probiotics, antibiotics, fecal transplants, and dietary changes, altering our microbiota offers a tractable approach to otherwise intractable problems of obesity and unhealthy eating.

What? Of course not. That's crazy. Now lets drink some fermented beverages and eat various local food stuffs that we humans are know to do. But first inhale these spores.
