Thank you for checking out this video. I’ve got a question sent to me quite some time ago, but I haven’t answered it. I’ll answer it in this video. How dangerous is Candida? Can Candida kill you? Is it a really nasty disease that you need to be very alarmed or scared about?

Well, you certainly do, particularly if you’re a person who’s very susceptible to getting sick or if you’re a person who’s got a very compromised immune system. I’ve got no doubt that in those situations; you need to be very careful with a yeast infection.

If you’ve got full blown Aids, for example, or people that are very sick with Hepatitis. People where a lot of pharmaceutical antibiotics don’t work anymore, you’ve got a lot to be worried about. It’s often the simple infections that end up taking people out; that kill people because they’ve got a lowered resistance. They become increasingly susceptible. Their resistance goes down and they can get very sick.

A severe yeast infection can wipe a person out within days. There’s no doubt about it; it can. It can grow very quickly in the bloodstream, but this generally doesn’t happen with most people. Most people will contract a Candida infection and it will develop in the body and alongside that, they’ll get bacterial problems. They’ll have a lack of beneficial bacteria. Their population will go down. They’ll get increasing amounts of bad bacteria. They’ll get parasites that will occur. They get a whole cocktail of bugs that are occurring at the same time, and they’ll stay sick for a long, long time.

But it’s a disease that can kill you if you’re weak or sick enough. But in most cases, it won’t do that. It will just make you chronically unwell. Candida can affect different people in different ways.

Some patients I see primarily get brain fog from Candida. They can’t think clearly. They get spaced out. Often there’s a huge association between the brain fog and the gut. They’ll have digestive problems. Other people have digestive problems without the brain fog, and other people I see have got severe joint pain with Candida. Their joints ache all over the body. They’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Other people have only got external manifestations like vaginal yeast infections or jock itch or toenail fungus or skin conditions related to it like ringworm. Other people will have conditions around the ears and the scalp, which the doctor says is psoriasis, when, in fact, it’s a yeast infection.

So as you can see, it can affect you in different ways. If it is going to take you out, it’s going to be systemic. It’s going to be severe. It’s going to be life threatening, and it’s generally because you’re very weak and sick to start with and that’s why it could kill.

So to answer that question, it can kill, but it’s unlikely to do so. It’s just more likely to ruin the quality of your life.

Thanks for tuning in.

I often get asked by many people both doctors, naturopaths, herbalists and also the public how and why Canxida was made, the anti-fungal called Canxida. How is it made? Why did you make it? Why were you behind it? How did you help to design this product? Well, I’d like to answer those questions in this video.

It’s really not that difficult. The product really came out of my 26 years of experience working with Candida patients, particularly after talking with a lot of expert clinicians around the world in different countries like America, Germany, even Spain, New Zealand, Australia, many different conferences I attend, many different clinics I sit in with and talk to specialist experts in gastrointestinal health, even mycologists, people who specialize in yeast. So I’ve got a lot of this expert advice from people way more expert than me to help me with this particular range of products.

The other thing that I did was over the many years looked at many thousands of stool test results, so I complete many different stool tests on patients with all sorts of digestive problems, but particularly people with small intestinal bowel overgrowth and with Candida. I’ve gathered information from many thousands of stool tests over the years, and I’ve particularly looked at the sensitivity panels. The sensitivity panels are panels at the back of the stool test, which show us if the patient does have yeast or bacteria; what are the natural and pharmaceutical agents that can counter these things. So I’ve gathered all that information.

What I’ve done is compiled all this information, and I’ve also looked at all the Candida products I can find on the market, every one of them. Candesign[?], Candedays[?], ThreeLac. There’s so much junk out there. I looked at all these different products. I’ve tried them all. I’ve tried these products for 15-20 years in my clinic. I can’t mention to you how many different anti-fungals I’ve tried, enzymes, probiotics, anti-fungals; I’ve tried every single one of them.

Now you’re going to read a whole bunch of junk on the internet about “this is the best” and “this is the best.” I’m not claiming that Canxida is the best, but what I am claiming is that it is a product that has a huge pedigree. A product that’s born out of a lot clinic experience involving tens of thousands of Candida patients, so that has a lot to be said for. This product wasn’t designed purely just to market and make tons of money out of that. I mean I could have gone into real estate or other endeavors. This product was born out of passion. It was born out of the need for, I believe, for my patients, in particularly, to have a product that’s highly effective, that really kicks butt when it comes to yeast infection.

This product was designed not just for Candida, but also many different types of parasites, Blastocystis hominis, Dientamoeba fragilis, Citrobacter freundii, many different types of pathogens which I’ve looked at and thought how can we make a range of products, particularly an anti-fungal, that’s really going to work, will go to town on these pathogens. So this product range is very effective. You’re going to find it effective not just against Candida Albicans. You’re going to find it effective against Candida Krusei, Parapsilosis, Rhodotorula, Trichospermum, and many other different forms of yeast, as well as the many different types of bacteria that we find. The streptococcus bacteria, for example. So if you’ve got bloating, gas, yeast infection, you’re going to find this product effective because of this incredible pedigree.

There are other videos I’m going to make which will explain why I made this product in more detail and some of the core reasons why the formula was put together. So I hope you do tune in for those videos.

Thanks for your attention.

Greetings, Eric Bakker, naturopath, author of Candida Crusher. Thanks for tuning into my video today.

Today, I’d like to talk a bit about treating the cause of a Candida yeast infection rather than just focusing on the symptoms.

I’ve just spent probably a good hour looking at many different YouTube clips on Candida yeast infections. Most all of them talk about treatment. How to eradicate Candida. How to clear up vaginal infections. How to get rid of jock itch. How to treat toenail problems. But what none of them look at is the cause of Candida.

Is the cause of Candida getting a fungal yeast infection? Yes, but the cause, folks, is susceptibility. You’ve got a yeast infection because you’re susceptible to a yeast infection. You don’t just walk around and a yeast infection drops into your lap from above somewhere. You get a yeast infection because you contract a yeast infection.

It’s the same as if you drink alcohol. If you drink alcohol and you drink a bit too much, you’re going to wake up with a hangover and a headache because you caused that hangover to occur due to excess alcohol.

It’s the same thing if you lie in the sun outside and you get sunburned. You can’t blame anyone. You’ve got to blame yourself because you’re the person that chose that.

Yeast infections don’t just happen, they occur because of a cause. In my book, I’ve written extensively about causation, about the many different types of causes. Most all yeast infection books I’ve looked at are very scant on causes. It’s all about treating the symptom and so-called cures and eradication in 12 hours. What a load of bologna. You can no longer cure up a yeast infection in 12 hours than you can pay off a mortgage in 12 days. It’s absolute rubbish, and I can’t buy that for one moment. And I think it’s giving people false hope.

Please don’t buy into these false statements on sales pages of “I can cure your yeast infection in one day or one week,” it’s a lot of rubbish. I don’t even like using the word “cure” because really to get rid of an infection depends on you. You need to do different things to get rid of it. You need to look at your diet and lifestyle. Eighty percent of recovery is lifestyle related. I mentioned this many times before, 80 percent.

One of the big causes of yeast infections which remains basically untreated is stress. Stress is one of the biggest causes, I believe, because it undermines your immune function. It causes your immunity to suffer because it helps to pull down levels, in particular, of cortisol. Cortisol is the main hormone secreted by the adrenal gland, which has an incredibly powerful effect on white blood cells.

As soon as a person has had stress for some time, whether it’s short term, high-grade stress or long term, chronic low-grade stress, their immune system is going to suffer. What happens is they become more susceptible. Their susceptibility increases and their resistance drops. And this is when you’re more prone toward a Candida yeast infection, and it’s fueled by sugars and alcohols and take-away food. We know all the dietary triggers for Candida, but one of the big ones I’d like to talk to you about in this video is looking at the silent causes, the underlying causes that are never spoken about, the stress.

In my book, I’ve written extensively on adrenal fatigue burnout, particularly adrenal issues undermining immunity allowing a person to be much more susceptible to yeast infections. I’ve treated thousands of patients with Candida and I can clearly and emphatically tell you that, in many cases, the patient had a lot of stress in their life; they had an ongoing problem with stress. They developed insomnia. They developed bowel and digestive issues. They developed energy problems. Many of them have thyroid and adrenal issues, and these often underpin a yeast infection and they’re never treated. They dealt with the separate or side issues.

I just had a Skype consultation with a patient in the US with an incredibly bad yeast infection. And when we spoke, we saw all these stresses coming up in her life, relationship problems and bankruptcy, and the list went on and on. I have consultations every day with patients and hear about the problems that are never addressed. If you want to get on top of the problem, you need to look at the underlying causes.

There are many other videos which are produced on YouTube regarding these causes. I’d like you to have a look at some of the other videos on cause and effect. I think you’re going to learn a lot of useful information.

I hope this video was of use to you today. Thank you for tuning in.
