I’d like to answer a question today that was given to me not that long ago on the internet by a patient in America, and that question was what makes a good anti-fungal? What are some of the key things behind the anti-fungal? How should I select an anti-fungal for yeast infection?

I’m going to answer that question right now. I believe that there are six different criteria that I carefully look at when it comes to anti-fungals, and that’s why I helped formulate my own product because I really don’t believe that any of the other products that I’ve used in my clinic fulfill all these six criteria that I’m going to outline to you today.

So the first one is that the product should only use proven and highly effective anti-fungal ingredients, whether they be herbal medicines or nutrients. They’ve got to be proven. They’ve got to be clinically highly effective. So lots of people buy anti-fungals, but they work partially or they don’t work at all. And the problem with a lot of these products is they’re not born out of clinical experience. Patients will often buy these products and take them and get mediocre results or poor results or major die off because of the incorrect formulations.

Practitioners will often use formulations and switch from one to another. Most practitioners don’t specialize in yeast infections like I do, so they don’t tend to use a whole wide range of different anti-fungals. I’ve used hundreds of different anti-fungals from different countries, German ones, Swiss ones, American ones, Australian ones, and New Zealand ones. I’ve tried herbal medicines from all over the world. I’ve tried all sorts of things and I’ve worked out that there are combinations that work very well and there are combinations that work very poorly.

Criteria number two. The highest quality need to be used only. So when you’re using a product, you’ve got to make sure that the raw materials you’re using are of very high quality. They have to be verified. These sorts of herbs need to go to a lab that will actually assay these products and maybe do some particular type of testing or what we call “fingerprint testing” to make sure that what the people claim is the herb actually is the herb. Because sometimes it’s not all. It can be a completely different bogus kind of a thing. So what you’re seeing is not necessarily what you’re getting. And this happens quite a lot in the herbal medicine industry.

The third criteria is the product needs to use standardized ingredients. So by standardized meaning that every time you take a tablet or a capsule that you know that what you’re taking is what it says on the label. It’s a strong product. It’s going to be effective. If you look at Canxida, for example, the product I helped to develop, the garlic contains 2 percent allicin, so every time you take a tablet, you know you’re getting a set amount of the active ingredient from the garlic in that tablet. The grapefruit seed extract contains 45 percent flavonoids guaranteed. Some grapefruit seed extracts on the market are not standardized, so you don’t really know what you’re getting. You could be getting something weak or strong or it could be all over the place.

Pau d’arco, an anti-fungal herb from South America, is in a 4 to 1 base, which means it’s standardized to contain quite a high concentration of active ingredients. Most of these things are 1 to 1, so [unclear 00:03:30] of about a quarter of the potency than what you’re getting here with Canxida. So the Pau d’arco, the black walnut extract, the Neem and the clove extract in this formula are all in a 4 to 1 base, so they’re all guaranteed to be strong and potent.

The Berberine. Berberine is what we call an alkaloid. It’s a particular chemical found in herbs like Goldenseal and various other plants. Berberis vulgaris, for example, will contain Berberine. Berberine is a naturopath’s antibiotic, so this is a good chemical extracted from an herb, which has a very powerful antibiotic effect on many bacteria. It’s probably more antibacterial than anti-fungal. It’s particularly good for throat and digestive yeast infections. It’s going to work quite well on that, so it’s standardized again, 85 percent standardized of Betaine, so it’s going to work well.

Sustained release is another one which I want you to bear in mind. When you take a tablet or a product containing all these ingredients, there’s no point in the digestive system working on it very quickly giving you quite a strong activity and then low activity. This can also mean that you’re more prone to getting a die off or a Herxheimer reaction. As far as I know, Canxida is the only anti-fungal on the market that is sustained release. It’s crazy that the other manufacturers don’t do that. Sustained release means you’re going to get more of a killing power over a two- to three-hour window rather than “bang!” This is why I designed the product like this. High quality, standardized ingredients, sustained release, balanced formula.

That’s the other criteria. Balanced formula meaning that all the ingredients are very carefully balanced with each other. I haven’t put too much garlic in there because garlic can be a little bit overwhelming for people. The grapefruit seed extract is in a smaller amount because it’s strong. You don’t need a lot in there. The Pau d’arco is a little bit higher amount, so I’ve carefully balanced all of these ingredients to work out what I believe to be the perfect anti-fungal.

And the sixth criteria is it’s well tolerated. This formula has been used now on thousands of patients worldwide. We’ve had very, very minimal feedback on die off and severe headaches and vomiting and diarrhea. We hardly ever get that feedback. Out of all the containers we’ve sold, we’ve had one returned, which shows you how darn good this product really is.

It took me six months to formulate this product, a long time to access the standardized ingredients, so I think you’re going to be very happy with it. So do give Canxida a go.

And those are the six reasons or criteria of what makes a good anti-fungal product.

Thank you.

What are good Candida recovery supplements? What are some good pills you can take that are going to help you recover from Candida? Do you need to take pills at all? Do you need supplements? Can you just recover from Candida just by diet alone?

It’s possible. It’s definitely possible to recover from Candida without supplements, but it’s tough; it’s real hard. I’ve tried it myself for a long time, ages ago, to recover by means of a dietary means. You’re going to recover much faster if you follow the right lifestyle and diet and take a couple of very good quality supplements. There’s no doubt about it.

If you want to cut to the chase and just really get accelerated results, supplements are going to certainly help. You only really need a few different types of supplements when it comes to Candida recovery, but probably one of the most important ones is an antifungal, so you need to take something that’s going to help to inhibit the fungus, to stop it from reproducing, to peeve it right off. But remember this; I’ve told you this before on video clips, it’s very important not just to take an antifungal. You want something that also inhibits the bad bacteria. You want something also that works on parasites because most people I see with Candida, with chronic Candida, have got bad bacteria, parasites, and fungal infection. They haven’t just only got fungal infection.

When you look at books like The Candida Diet, Yeast Infection No more, various other books like that, they never talk about all the other bugs that you could have. They only talk about Candida, Candida, Candida, and all these websites talk about is Candida. All these YouTube clips talk it up, but they never talk about the problems that people face in their gut over and above Candida, so don’t forget that.

If you’ve got chronic Candida right now and you’re watching this, there’s a big chance you’ve got low levels of beneficial bacteria and you’ve got moderate levels of bad bacteria and you may have the odd parasite here or there, very common. And these are weird names of bugs like Dientamoeba fragilis, Blastocystis hominis, Hafnia, and there’s many different weird names like something in a Star Trek or something.

But the problem with Candida is once people start getting these digestive imbalances, it’s not hard for other bad guys, criminals and terrorists to hop along, and you’re going to get these through your diet. You’re going to get these through shaking hands with people, going to public lavatories; there are many ways that you’re touching surfaces that potentially contain parasites or bacteria. You can’t live a life where you’re wearing silk gloves all the time and not doing anything, touching things or walking around like Michael Jackson like sort of opening doorknobs with tissues on them and things like that. You can’t live like that.

When you’re living a normal life like people are, you’re going to get bugs into your system. There are healthy people like me with good digestive systems; we can eradicate those bugs before they take a foothold. But people like you out there with bad Candida or chronic yeast infection, you’re not going to be able to, so these bugs will start taking over as well, the bad ones and the parasites, so you’ll have a problem, a multi-dimensional problem. That’s why an antifungal needs to target all these bugs.

When you take an antifungal, I want you to make sure that you’re taking in several different things at the same time, preferably. Grapefruit seed extract, undecenoic acid, undecylenic acid, standardized garlic, cloves, berberine, Neem, black walnut, for example, all these sorts of things need to be taken in preferably for a broad spectrum antifungal. This is a clever approach if you start doing that.

Then you’re not only just targeting the Candida, you’re also targeting all the other bedfellows as well, so just bear that in mind. You don’t want to take seven or eight different bottles of supplements.

The other thing I want you to take is a probiotic enzyme formula, so something that contains good levels of probiotics and a couple of different enzymes in it that work on improving gut function and helping to eradicate Candida.

On other videos, I’ll talk more about that product, so those are the two mainstays of treatment that you need. The antifungal, probiotic enzyme. And then for the icing on the cake, you take a good multivitamin as well and maybe some Omega 3, but focus on the diet primarily.

Have a look at Canxida.com if you want to get one of the best antifungals on the market. This took me six months to make. This video wasn’t designed for a sales push whatsoever. I couldn’t care if you get Canxida or not, but I developed it up primarily for my patients because I have a lot of patients in US and Canada, throughout Europe in many different countries that kept asking me time and time, “Erik, I want a very good antifungal. What is there out there?”

I started using all different types and recommending them and getting average results and very poor results. And I thought, “There’s got to be something better.” That’s when I created Canxida. The Canxida contains the elements that help to work on the parasites, all the different strains of Candida, and the bad bacteria, and I found it doesn’t affect the beneficial bacteria at all.

Now you might think this is a load of bologna. Now I can verify that through a lot of stool testing I’ve done. I haven’t seen the beneficials going down when Canxida was put into the diet, so it definitely works on inhibiting Candida and I’ve seen this on repeated stool tests that the Candida levels went right down. The patient’s health improved.

That’s all I wanted to say in this video today. Good Candida supplements are basically very simple ones, broad spectrum, and you only need a couple of them. You don’t need 20 different things. So I hope that answers your question.

Thank you.

I’m here with another frequently asked question, a male yeast infection question. What are male yeast infection symptoms?

Well, there are many different symptoms of a male yeast infection. It really depends on what area that you have got the yeast infection. You could have a yeast infection affecting you internally; your digestive system is a common place. It could be your skin, particularly the groin region, the inner thigh, around the scrotum, the penis, the anus; all those sort of areas could be affected. Your feet could be affected. Your toenails could be affected.

So let’s start with some of the gut symptoms that I commonly see in guys. We’re talking like burping, bloating, farting, these are very common symptoms. Other symptoms are craving sweet foods or alcohol, wanting beer, wanting pizzas, wanting bagels or donuts, these sorts of sweet foods. Especially throughout the day or wanting several cups of coffee with sugar in it. Wanting Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew or lots of sweet drinks, especially if you have quite a strong craving for sweet drinks. These are real key sort of red flag symptoms for a yeast infection.

If we’re talking about the skin area, particularly around your groin, you’re looking at redness and itching. It could be burning. The skin could be cracked. It could be a bronzy sort of color to the skin, but it’s not unusual for a guy to get a lot of itching and burning around that area and then scratching that area. You need to be careful scratching it because you could get that area infected.

So if we look at the keynote symptoms of a male yeast infection around the genital region, it would have to be itching, redness, and burning. Those are three of the key symptoms I would recognize that condition to be.

With the toenails, it could be itching between the toes. It’s not uncommon. Look for those kind of symptoms because they’re quite indicative of a male yeast infection.

Thanks for tuning in.
