Is there any Relationship between Certain Foods and Malassezia?
I Personally Believe:
One of the Most Malicious Contributors
of Malassezia Proliferation
Is a Frequent Accumulation
of Unprocessed by the Body
Undigested – High Temperature Treated/Cooked
Roasted or Fried Animal Fats, OILS and Butter
in the Descending and Lower Colon Area
Some Readers may find a bit confusing
My declaring on One hand, that i Believe
‘No Diet or Foods have any Direct Impact on Malassezia’
While on the Other
I deliver a strong statement that i consider
‘Most Malicious Contributors of Malassezia Proliferation
Roasted or Fried Animal Fats, OILS and Butter
when present in the Descending and Lower Colon Area’
with such conviction…
Let me Clarify:
I have stated before that Malassezia
* May Obtain Nutrients from the Skin
* May Obtain them via the Blood
* I have observed Heavy Concentration of Malassezia Presence
when there is Lower Colon Congestion.
* And as Above that Animal Fats, Oils, Butter
when Present in the Colon cause Malassezia Proliferation.
My Reasoning is:
* If it Obtains Nutrient from the Skin
then Diet and Specific Foods at large make No difference.
* If it Obtains Nutrients from the Blood
since All Foods -Individually or as Diet- are Converted
into Elements such as Amino-acids, Sugars, Lipids etc
again, Diet or Foods make No Difference
as these elements are always present and available in the Blood.
* If it Obtains Nutrients from the Colon area
– Already being Extracted and Converted by the Body
and only small residues of partially undigested /unprocessed
again it makes No Difference – or not much…
The only exception is FATS, OILS etc
as it is already Known and Established
that Malassezia uses them Primarily as Growth Medium
and NOT as FOOD!…
Or Perhaps even as Food when Converted to Lipid Components?)
Does it now make more sense?…

Something interesting i spotted in my research rounds:
I will not refer here to the frequent Blood Clotting problem
dealing with for the past five years or more
and never connected or suspected having anything to do
with Malassezia – IF it does…
The Questions that arise for me here are Food Related:
Q1: Does Malassezia have Direct Access to the Blood
and any Effect on it
(other than the Dig-in for its Cloning)
*
Not Clear in the above Quote
If Blood and the Calcium induced Clots and Malassezia’s effect
was tested/found in a Petrie/Tube apparatus, etc
or Directly in Blood Plasma – and … where was Malassezia
or when introduced into it?
(I wish i could have a little chat with the Researcher! …Honestly! 🙂 )
Q2: Does Malassezia have the same effect on the Clot Formation
in the Blood inside the Body or only in the Lab glass tubes
(though the conclusion at the end of ‘quotes’ below implies the former)
Q3: Does it mean Malassezia’s beta-glucan part when released in the Blood
– either by direct access or during its digging-in for its cloning –
activates the Body’s Blood Clotting mechanism
Q4: Is there any Relationship between the Calcium present in the Blood
-via Foods and/or Supplements- and Malassezia’ s
Obtaining it for its needs
If the answer is -Yes- to any of the above i would think
Diet or Foods would have No Direct Impact on Malassezia
Below is a brief extract of the above i highlighted in bold and red:
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
…. acetone-treated M. furfur also shortens the calcium-induced clot formation time,
while treatment with zymolyase, which causes decomposition of beta-glucan, did not shorten it
……………
These results suggest that M. furfur activates the blood coagulation systems,
and the beta-glucan portion of M. furfur plays a key role in shortening
calcium-induced clot formation
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
More about Malassezia and Nutrients:
Difficulty in culture is due to
limited knowledge about the nutrient requirements of M furfur,
which leads to erroneous diagnosis and incorrect treatment.
Does ‘limited’ imply simply they don’t know?
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
M furfur is thought to obtain its nutrients from secretions from human eccrine glands.
……
These glands are connected to the hair follicle (Figure 1 :5) where M furfur is known to
inhabit (Lopes et al., 1994). The secretions from the eccrine gland contains a variety of
fatty acids, amino acids and simple sugars (Noble, 1981).
Again – No Direct Connection with Foods or Diet
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Mfurfur requires medium to long chain fatty acids for growth (C12-C24) as it is unable
to synthesise them de novo (Faergemann, 1989). Lipids isolated from skin secretions
are mainly C18 and include oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid and
stearic acid (Noble, 1981). The concentrations on skin are considerably lower than
those supplied in media. Oleic acid, for example, is found in skin secretions at a
concentration of 0.002 gil but in culture media, it is usually provided at concentrations
of 1.0 gil (Van-Gerven and Odds, 1995).
The above indicates –as i have already suggested as a possibility
in my earlier Blog/Blog Entries– that Malassezia may obtain (some)
of its needs from our Skin and not depend -If it does- directly on Foods
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
...and ……. M furfur will grow on a medium containing egg yolk as the only lipid.

Eggs anyone??… Especially Fried — Served in the Colon???
I would say ‘No Thanks!’ and go for my current daily as it stands for now:
Pre- Breakfast
1 Cup Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice diluted with hot water
Breakfast
1 Banana – 1 Avocado –1/4 small Paw Paw – 1/3 Lg Mango – Smoothie
(Mango currently in season – i never resist – only have cut down quantity)
Lunch
A Mixed Raw/Steamed Green Caterpillar’s Delight …
Dinner
Alternating choice –as dictated by Body needs or Malassezia Activity
of another Breakfast like meal or another -larger size- Lunch)

Sources quoted in the above document are a decade or more old…
This does not necessarily invalidate the information
but perhaps it indicates the slow progress of advancing …
There is more to Dissect, Analyse and Digest in this document
– some i do not agree with- and i may present in relevant entries
but in the mean time anyone more familiar with medical research jargon
