Thanks for tuning in. Ive got a frequently asked question here. What is a good remedy for Candida on the tongue? How do I get my tongue all clean? How do I get all the film off my tongue? Its a question many people ask me when they come to see me with a Candida infection. How they can get their breath smelling sweet. How they can get their tongue looking nice and pink and clean.

Its not really that difficult to explain how to do that. But what I want you to try to understand is the way to get rid of this coating on the tongue and how to get the tongue pink is to think about the tongue as being the beginning or the entry of the digestive system because its really a part of your digestive system. So to get the tongue looking nice and clean, you really want to get your digestive system clean.

Its quite a silly idea to think if you just focus on the tongue and clean that maybe with a toothbrush or taking some antifungal drugs or something that youll clean up the tongue. You wont because the problem lies further down in the gut. Thats one thing I want to clear up right from the start. You need to get your digestive system all clean and sorted. You need to get the balance back with the beneficial bacteria.

Generally, when youve got a coating on the tongue, it means that youve got dysbiosis or poor bowel flora. The further down the back of the tongue the coating, the more likelihood its going to be the large intestine. The more towards the center of the tongue, the more likely its going to be the small intestine. Anything on the tip of the tongue usually is going to mean the stomachs got a problem. On the sides of the tongue, generally means the liver has got a problem. So if your liver is a bit fatty or not really healthy, youll have sort of scalloped edges. Go to the mirror and have a look at your tongue, poke it out and have a look at the different colors on the tongue and how far the color is situated back. Heavier coatings usually mean more of a problem. People with a big heavy coating often have a lot of gas and bloating to go along with it as well.

Lets give you a couple of tips now on really how to clear this sort of thing. One thing that you want to try to do is start to eat the beneficial foods, foods that are going to help to clean the digestive system up. Cultured and fermented foods. You will have heard about all these kind of diets like a body ecology diet. Theres many different types of diets like that. These sorts of diets really focus on wanting you to eat more foods like kefir and yogurt and sauerkraut and kimchee. These are foods that have been cultured or fermented like sauerkraut. Foods that are rich in lactic acid. Lactic acid has a very good cleansing effect on the gut and it promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, which really help to clean the tongue up.

Theres nothing wrong with giving the tongue a bit of a scrub with a toothbrush. You can even get a toothbrush when you reverse it; its got sort of ripples on the one side where you can actually rub it over the tongue. Thats going to stimulate the digestive system a little bit like when you stimulate the different points on the hand or the feet like reflexology. Youll stimulate the corresponding body parts. I believe that the tongue is the same. If you stimulate the tongue, you stimulate the bowel. And also its good for constipation to stimulate the tongue.

A little bit of apple cider vinegar, if you get an organic one, in water, rinse the mouth with that once or twice per day. Lemon juice on the tongue has a good cleansing effect. A couple of drops of water-soluble or just plain tea tree oil on your toothbrush. Brush your teeth with that, but also brush the tongue lightly with the tea tree oil. Thats going to have a cleansing effect.

There are different antifungal herbs you can get like calendula. Calendula is an herb that is an antifungal. Rinsing your mouth with a bit of water and calendula will help to clear anything on the inside. A couple of drops of grapefruit seed extract in a little bit of lemon juice, rinsing your mouth thoroughly with that. Oil pulling. You may want to look up some YouTube videos on oil pulling because oil pulling with coconut oil has a nice way of keeping the tongue and gums all clean there as well.

Digestive enzymes particularly taken for the stomach and pancreas will help clear the tongue as well. Avoiding junk and take away food, alcohol, soda drinks and sugar. Thats going to help significantly get the tongue nice and pink again. Chewing food properly, another very beneficial thing you can do.

So theres a couple of hints and tips on how you can keep the tongue clean, but the easiest thing to remember is if you eat clean, youre going to feel clean. Your tongue is going to be clean. If you eat crap, your tongue will look like crap. Its as simple as that.

Thank you for checking out this video. What is Candida brain fog? I often get asked by people. Why is my brain feel like cotton wool and more foggy up there? I’ve got mental confusion. I can’t think clearly. I seem to be in a world of my own. I feel stoned or spaced out. Eric, help me out. I’m a bit worried here. Brain fog is a term that’s used by people when there’s a certain element of mental confusion where they can’t really think clearly or rationally. They don’t know what the heck’s going on.

There are many reasons why you could be feeling like this that may not be Candida related. We could be looking at heavy metal toxicity. Mercury, for example, in higher amounts can cause brain fog and it commonly does. The term “mad as a hatter” came from years ago when people used to use mercury for putting felt inside hats, and hat makers used to go crazy because the mercury would cause neuro toxicity.
If you’ve got brain fog, a hair analysis is probably quite a good idea to determine what your level of mercury is or cadmium or arsenic or lead, one of those four sulfhydryl metals is very important to determine if you’ve got heavy metal toxicity. High calcium levels, low potassium and low zinc levels are often found in a hair analysis as well. This will give you an indication also if you’ve got a copper imbalance. A copper imbalance is something that is commonly found, too. Zinc to copper ratios can be pretty screwed up in people with bad mental confusion.

The other thing with brain fog, probably much more common that I see in the clinic, is bowel toxemia or toxins in the bowel, so bad bacteria producing indoles and skatoles and cadaverine and various types of chemicals that get liberated in the blood stream by these bacteria that get into the brain. Lack of beneficial bacteria is the number one cause of brain fog, I can tell you now. It’s not Candida. It’s the lack of beneficial bacteria.

How do I know this? Well, I’ve completed many, many, many hundreds of stool tests over the years, over 1,000 stool tests on Candida patients, and in most cases, when the patient had severe brain fog, I found NG or null growth on the lacto bacillus species, no growth, none. We couldn’t detect any on culture. The people with the lowest beneficial bacteria levels had the worst brain fog of all.
Some of these people didn’t even have Candida. We couldn’t culture it in these people, but because they had such low beneficial bacteria, it allowed the bad bacteria to go crazy. It’s a little bit like the police or the military presence isn’t there and these ISIS militants or these crazy terrorists just get out of control and start dropping bombs and chopping people up.

The bad bacteria in your bowel can do a similar thing. They create a lot of gases and by products that can make you feel all spaced out in the presence of low beneficial bacteria. You really need to get the beneficial bacteria up when you’ve got brain fog. And sometimes, it’s not just a matter of taking probiotics because probiotics can make some people much worse. You may be one of those people watching this video now with brain fog. You took a probiotic and got 10 times worse. This is where you need to get expert help from somebody to really determine what’s going on in the bowel, what level of beneficial bacteria you’ve got and commensals, which are what we call transitional bacteria going from good or bad and the bad guys you’ve got. This needs to be determined first before we can decide what we’re going to do.

I can tell you now. Brain fog can be cured 100 percent. I’ve helped many hundreds of patients get rid of their brain fog. I’ve got really, really grateful patients as a result. Because you can’t work, you can’t even drive a car sometimes when your brain fog is that bad.

Let’s just recap on that. Check for heavy metals. Urinalysis is probably a good thing to do if you’ve got brain fog. Check for gut dysbiosis. Make sure that you do a stool test and a hair test if you’ve got severe brain fog. These are two very clever things to do to give you an indication on what’s going on. There’s no doubt 20 other reasons why people have brain fog, but what I just mentioned in this video is a very good explanation of some of the prime causes of brain fog and what you can do about it.

I hope that answers your question.

Thank you for tuning into my video today. Is Lufenuron any good? Is it good against Candida? Well, let’s just first have a look at what Lufenuron is.

There’s a website called CandidaCleanser(.)com and they’re marketing a product, a chitin synthesis inhibitor, basically called Lufenuron. Lufenuron is a registered product for killing fleas. It’s an insect treatment. It wasn’t designed for humans whatsoever. I get quite alarmed when people jump on the bandwagon and try to look for an opportunity to market and make a lot of profit on a product. It’s just crazy. This product should not be used for Candida, and I’m going to go into several other videos and explain why.

I’ve had many patients come to see me through Skype and also face to face and on the telephone in the last several months, probably 7, 8 months, 12 months, who’ve been on this Lufenuron treatment that have had terrible side effects like vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, several patients have been hospitalized even with this product. I’ve never seen such violent reaction with any kind of antifungal product on the market as I have for Lufenuron. You should not use this product. It was not designed for human consumption. It was designed for animals likes cats and dogs because what it does is it works on fleas on the exoskeleton, so Lufenuron stops chitin development on the skeleton of insects.

Now there is some chitin compound found in fungal cell walls to varying degrees, but as Jeff McCombs, a Candida expert like myself points out, when you look at Candida, Candida is a very clever organism. It’s going to evade capture. It’s going to change its chitin to varying degrees in its fungal wall basically to evade capture, so throwing a chemical like this in the body is no guarantee at all that it’s going to work and cure you from Candida.

What really annoys me about this website also is they say that weird diets don’t work. Antifungals don’t work. The only thing that works is Lufenuron. What a load of crap! Diets do work against yeast infections. If you look at typical diets like Dr. McCombs and I recommend, they’re not weird diets. You just need to stop eating damn sugar. You need to take sugar out of your diet. It’s not a stupid weird diet.

These stupid websites like CandidaCleanser.com basically don’t care about your diet. They just want to sell you some expensive product and let you eat whatever you want to eat, so you’re going to perpetuate Candida. The only way to get rid of Candida is lifestyle and diet. It’s the only way apart from cremation or death maybe; it’s the only way.

Antifungals do help, but they are not the be all end all and you certainly don’t want to use an antifungal and continue with a ridiculous diet thinking that you’re going to get rid of your Candida. By living a clean, natural, healthy lifestyle. Making the right diet choices. Drinking plenty of water. Resting up. Understanding your connection with stress and immunity and Candida. These are ways you’re going to get rid of a yeast infection permanently. Not by taking some sham product that was designed to kill fleas, so don’t get suckered into Lufenuron.

It is not a good product to cure Candida. The only thing it’s going to get rid of is it’s going to make your wallet a lot skinnier. You’re going to lose a lot of money with this product, and you could be potentially also vomiting and have nausea and severe diarrhea taking this product, so buyer beware. My recommendation; stay clear from this product.
