John let me share an interesting story with you. Within the last twelve months I stumbled upon a research paper a Korean study from memory whereby in studying helicobacter pylori they discovered the helicobacter hiding inside candida albicans. As you are no doubt aware prior to Marshall's revelation the stomach was considered sterile due to its low ph. Normally around 1 to 2 on the ph scale, but as you age you don't make sufficient acid as you did as a young person.

In my late forties I suffered terribly with so called acid, and was cured with 2 antibiotics and bismuth.

Now fast forward some months and one of my sons mentioned he and his wife were both suffering terribly from acid stomach and i mentioned to him the details of the Korean study and my self having the same thing at his age. As I was visiting him that week end, I took up some fenbendazole, a potent antifungal in addition to it being used as a medicine for intestinal worms. I suggested he and his wife take it for 3 days a week for a couple of months. A while later he rang to say I haven't got the acid anymore nor has the wife. And it hasn't reoccured. I should add here they took 5ml. Of liquid fenbendazole 10%.

When Marshall made his discovery I'm reasonably certain he swallowed the digestive juices of a person with acid stomach and in no time was suffering the same acid stomach. As helicobacter is near impossible to cultivate outside the stomach today it's a fair bet he didnt swallow a pure culture of helicobacter and if he did see some yeast/fungi it would have been discounted as a contaminant.

As to helicobacter causing stomach cancer I have serious doubts about that after Aykut et Al's ground breaking study on pancreatic cancer and the dimorphic Yeast malassezia globosa. In that study he shows conclusively that malassezia is the cause of cancer. More recent studies have shown that malassezia is prevalent in the stomach and everywhere else in the human body. In another study 17400 tumors of 35 different cancers were studied and malassezia was found in all types.
