I’m going to answer another question today. Erik, what is the best dietary supplement to help Candida die off?

Well, there is no best supplement. Candida die off does not need to occur with most people. It’s inevitable with a small amount of people that I see that they do get this Herxheimer reaction, but it does not have to happen to the majority of people because it’s all about preparation. Preparation, preparation, preparation.

Let’s just quickly go through this first. There are three types of Candida patients that I generally see. You can read all about this in Candida Crusher. We’ve got the normal people like you or me, which make up the bulk of the Candida patients. We’ve got the sensitive patients, which make up probably about 15 percent, and then we’ve got the supersensitive patients.

The supersensitive are people that react to everything. They take one Vitamin C tablet or a Vitamin B tablet, they could be having diarrhea for two days or massive headaches. Everything they take creates a reaction. They get sick from this and sick from that. You may even know somebody like this.

Now what do you think are the chances of that person having a severe die off compared to just the average person like you or me? Pretty high. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to work out that a very small percentage of people are what I call the supersensitive, are the ones that are going to have the most extreme die off reactions.

The sensitive patients may have die off, but not severe. I’ve seen die off to the point where the patient had to get admitted to the emergency room. She thought she was actually dying. Actually, I’ve seen a few of them, but mind you, I’ve seen many thousands of Candida patients.

I have seen quite a few hundred patients who go through a time which might involve a bit of a headache, maybe a bit of diarrhea, malaise, muscle pain, not feeling good. A similar sort of feeling that a lot of people have when they’re hung over or drunk, which I’m sure you’ve never experienced before. You’ve never experienced what it’s like to have three glasses of wine or a couple of beers. I’m sure you have. Everyone has experienced it. Experience of sort of feeling hung over and sometimes severely hung over is what Herxheimer can be or what we call die off. And die off can last anywhere from a half a day up to four or five days, even a week for some people, but usually it passes quite rapidly.

This reaction can occur for many different reasons. People tend to think that die off is from Candida rapidly dying off in the body, but it’s not. And I’ll talk about that in many other videos. That Herxheimer reaction, in fact, there can be multiple different scenarios that cause a reaction similar to die off, but it’s, in fact, not die off at all.

We talked about a supplement. What supplement can help Herxheimer reaction? Well, it’s not so much what can help to stop it; you’ve got to prevent the darn thing from happening in the first place. But if you are going to have a Herxheimer reaction, you could try charcoal tablets. You could try also Vitamin C. I’ve found Vitamin C to work quite well for some people. Just take some good Vitamin C powder in water. That can help.

Many patients benefit from hot and cold showers and prolonged sort of rests, but there are no real supplements I’d recommend to counter these sorts of toxic reactions you have because you’re not going to really fix it up really quick. It’s like when you’ve got a bad migraine; you can’t turn it around once you’ve got one. It’s not about what you can take to stop it, it’s what you can do to prevent.

Today I’d like to talk about grapefruit seed extract and its application with yeast infections, parasites, bacteria, and various other fungi. Grapefruit seed extract is a remarkable natural product to use in your quest to eradicate a yeast infection.

In 1972, Dr. Jacob Harich in Florida in the USA discovered that by extracting a particular extract from seeds from grapefruits, it was quite a potent product indeed. Initially, the food industry started to take notice because Harich found out that it could inhibit and kill mold on foods. And when the hospitals found out, they started to want it as an antiseptic, so it was used in hospitals, and even municipal swimming pools were using grapefruit seed extract a long time ago to kill bacteria like E. coli.

So there’s quite a well-known institute in America, the American Research Institute, I believe they are. They discovered in the ‘80s that grapefruit seed extract was, in fact, such a powerful product that it could kill over 800 kinds of bacteria and parasites, remarkable, and over 100 species of fungi and yeast. So I call it a 45-caliber killer when it comes to Candida. It’s very powerful.

If you really want to make a powerful product and you put grapefruit seed extract up with some of the fatty acids, particularly like Caprylic acid and Selenic acid, Lauric acid, coconut, in various products like this together in one product, you’re going to end up with a really powerful product. And that product I have some exciting news. I’ve been working with a company in Florida, not Heritage Company, but another company. I’ve given them some advice on adding 45 percent flavonoid rich grapefruit seed extract in a product called Canxida.

So you will see the URL on your screen coming up now, Canxida.com. That product contains 11 of the best ingredients I know to fight Candida, parasites like Blastocystis hominis, Bacteroides fragilis. It’s going to work on Geotrichum. It’s going to work on Aspergillus. It’s going to work on a whole bunch of different fungi and yeast in your digestive system. It’s also going to work on hundreds of different kinds of parasites and bacteria. So nice product.

So grapefruit seed extract, I believe, is top shelf when it comes to eradicating Candida. Every Candida protocol if the patient’s serious needs to include grapefruit seed extract. It’s very, very bitter, however, to take in a liquid. It’s an extremely potent liquid, but it’s almost unbearable in high dosages. And I think when you place it in a formulation that’s sustained release with other anti-fungal agents together and an antibacterial; you’re going to end up with a super powerful product. And that’s what Canxida is. Canxida took a year to make. It’s a very potent product, the sustained release. So check out Canxida.com.

So I hope you found this video was of interest to you. Thank you for your time and attention today.

Thanks for tuning into my video. Are you hungry on the Candida diet? Are you losing weight?

Weight loss is quite a common thing that people do get concerned about, and they also get hungry on the Candida diet. Many people get hungry because they chop out a lot of carbohydrate foods, which filled them up. We’re talking like breads, cookies, bagels, donuts, cakes, all these sorts of things that people would eat, pizza breads. People eat a lot of these kind of foods. You’d be surprised. So when you cut all these foods out of your diet, you’re going to get hungry.

The other problem is many people start plunging themselves into a MEVY diet, meat, eggs, vegetables, and yogurt. They start eating way too much meat and protein and they get blocked up. This is a common occurrence also on the Atkins diet or the South Beach diet or the Stillwell diet or many other of these protein diets like the Paleo diet. If you start gorging yourself on too much meat, every day, meat two or three times a day, you’re going to get blocked up. You’re going to get constipated. You don’t want to go down that path like a lot of my patients have and firm you up with a lot of pain. So constipation is the last thing that you want when you’ve got Candida. It just creates more problems.

How do you stop from getting hungry when you’re on the Candida diet? Well, a couple of key foods that you can eat are avocado, for example. They’re high in fat, but they’re a natural fat. They’re high in carbos, but they contain more fiber than actual carbos themselves. They have plenty of fiber in them, so they’re a healthy food to eat. Some people say, “Oh, I don’t like avocados.” But I’ll tell you what, you want to try them out because they’re a very healthy food and they’re a very good food to have with Candida. Plus you can mix them with some raw garlic. You can make guacamole out of them, so they can be antifungal as well.

Coconut flour, you can also use. You can actually find plenty of coconut flour recipes on the internet, which is a good one. Brown rice, yes, you can eat brown rice on the Candida diet. Absolutely. Many people say, “Oh, I can’t eat brown rice. It’s carbohydrates. Candida will thrive on all these foods.” It’s a lot of bologna. Many of my patients fully recover while eating brown rice on the Candida diet, but don’t have sweet chili sauce with it or lots of sugary things with the brown rice.

If you’re going to have proteins with brown rice maybe in stir-fry or Asian kind of style dishes, you’re going to be fine. Especially, if you put lots of garlic in there again and things like coriander and various spices that are antifungal, a bit of coconut oil, not a problem at all. So you’ve got plenty of choices.

Eggs are another good food to eat if you’re hungry. Now one thing I want you to be careful of with eggs. If you eat eggs and you’ve got an issue with your liver, for example, you’ve got a fatty liver, which a lot of people have; you can build up too much of this stuff in the body called TMAO. It’s a particular chemical that comes from the improper breakdown of one of the nutrients in eggs called choline. So when this breaks down improperly, this TMAO can build up and it can cause your bad cholesterol to get more sticky and adhere to arterial walls, which can increase your risk of heart attack. They did a study of about 14,000 people and they found that the TMAO levels were directly related to the risk of heart disease.

How do we remedy this? By making sure your liver is working well. Your bowels are working well. Not drinking too much alcohol or fatty foods, deep-fried foods. Going through a regular detoxification, which is a fundamental part of recovery from Candida is detox. So if your liver is clean, your bowel is working well, you’re probably going to have lower levels of TMAO. You can probably eat one to two eggs every day.

Studies have shown that people who eat eggs for breakfast in the morning tend to have no issue with hunger for three or four hours after eating the eggs, as opposed to cereal, so eggs is not a bad porridge in the morning, not a bad porridge, not a bad food in the morning. Porridge is something I eat in the morning. I eat rolled oats. I like sort of like a whole rolled oats cooked just in water, which is my favorite cereal, breakfast in the morning.

So eggs are quite good. Rolled oats are quite good for breakfast in the morning, so there are different kinds of breakfast you can look at. Avocados you can even have with breakfast with your eggs, so you’ve got many options.

So check out my other videos out here on YouTube regarding that. So you don’t have to be hungry on the Candida diet or you don’t have to lose weight. You just have to eat the right kind of foods and experiment.

Thanks for tuning in.
