Thanks for tuning into my video today. What is Lufenuron? Is it any good for Candida, is a question I get asked regularly by people over time. Well, let’s talk a little bit about what Lufenuron is and what my opinion is on Lufenuron.

Lufenuron came to my attention probably about 18 months ago now when I had a few patients from England and Germany and Switzerland that were starting to take it and asked me for my opinion on it and at that point, I really didn’t know much about it. I’ve got patients in about 100 countries now around the world, so if a new product comes out, I quickly find out about it because one of my patients will be taking it, no doubt.

After a period of many months, I’ve got the odd negative feedback from it and thinking, well, it just might be related to people taking too much or incorrectly combining it with something else. But then as time went by, I started getting more and more negative feedback from it. I would say I’ve had over 100 reports now of side effects from this drug ranging from mild bloating up to hospitalization. I don’t like it when I hear things like that.

Lufenuron is a product that was designed by a company to kill fleas in cats and dogs. All it does is it inhibits chitin, so inhibits a particular chemical that makes up the exoskeleton on the outside skeleton of the insect and fleas can take quite a lot of chitin in their skeleton. So when you inhibit the production or the synthesis of chitin, you’re going to kill the flea by doing that.

Now there are some small amounts of chitin in the cell wall membrane of Candida that have been discovered. And the initial reports were quite favorable when Lufenuron was first used against it, but it’s quickly dampened down and we realized it was actually quite useless against Candida because chitin really varies from Candida species to Candida species. There are about 19 species of Candida that we know. Some will have varying levels of chitin depending on the type of Candida.

For example, Candida tropicalis is a species I find quite common in people in Australia, particularly Queensland and from what I gather, it will have entirely different levels of chitin in it than Candida albicans in the cell membrane.

The ability of this product to work on Candida is extremely varied and I’ve got no doubt in some rare cases there may be some temporary beneficial effect, but the side effects of this product totally outweigh any benefits you’re going to get from it. Always remember, this product was designed to kill fleas in cats and dogs, not to kill Candida. It is not endorsed by experts like me who have worked on yeast infection for a long time. It is not used by the majority of people in the natural health business.

As far as I know, there are only two main websites that push this product onto unwary or unsuspecting patients who don’t really have much knowledge. So when anyone tells you that a chemical designed to kill fleas is good for Candida, you need to run for the hills.

If I started promoting DDT or a toxic chemical like Roundup, glyphosate, told you to drink that, it was going to kill acne or yeast infection, would you take that serious? You’d probably think I’m some sort of stupid fool. Well, that’s what’s happening to people now who are being suckered into believing that a flea killing treatment may help with Candida.

Folks, don’t waste your money on this product. It is toxic. It is not designed for the purpose that you’re purchasing it for. And if you have bought it and you’ve got a cattle dog, perhaps try it out on them, but don’t take it yourself. I don’t endorse this product at all nor do other people in my business. Please steer clear from Lufenuron.

Thanks for tuning in.

Thank you for checking out this video. Candida, is it a myth? Is it a hoax? Is it a fake illness? Has it been invented by some people to profit from, from patients lack of knowledge? Is it pseudoscience? What the heck is it?

Well, if you go on the internet, you’ll find lots of these science-based medical websites that completely discredit yeast infection. That also completely discredit adrenal fatigue and many other conditions, which I find rather interesting because there’s plenty of scientific evidence that will show the exact opposite. That yeast infections are, in fact, real. It is a credible disease. There’s plenty of evidence to suggest that what I’m saying is correct.

Many mainstream journals talk about Candida albicans being a problem. Many mainstream journals like the New England Journal of Medicine, even The Lancet. There are many gynecological journals. I could give you thousands of these references, and if you go and have a look at yeastinfection.org, you’ll find plenty of references. There are many websites with lots of credible information about Candida, but the problem is this, there are a lot of idiots out there giving stupid information about Candida. People are saying that it kills you and 90 percent of people have got an infection. They don’t know about it. It attacks the brain. It creates retardation.

So when you get people making these ridiculous claims, of course, you’re going to get science jumping on top of you. Doctors and scientists themselves can’t really claim to be ultraclean themselves. When we look at how many problems pharmaceutical creates and causes, particularly in America; it’s phenomenal. That we get 200 to 300 people dying every single day from improperly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs. These aren’t drugs that people take themselves. These are drugs that have been given to them by a doctor with a qualification in a controlled setting for a particular disease. This is incredible. If we had one big jet airliner crashing every day killing the same amount of people, nobody would fly an aircraft, but medicine manages to get away with this repeatedly day after day.

Antibiotics are one of the leading causes of ultra-disease in people with over 120,000 deaths per annum in America alone from antibiotics. So we know that antibiotics kill beneficial bacteria and allow yeast to thrive. The whole argument with medicine is there is no such thing as systemic Candida when, in fact, there absolutely is such a thing as systemic Candida. We’ve seen that with Aids patients and people with severe immunocompromised disease. A lot of these people die of systemic Candida.

But we also know that many people don’t die of systemic Candida, but have got very poor quality, low-grade lives because they have got a yeast infection that has gotten into the bloodstream, but it’s in a low-grade sense. So medicine doesn’t tend to look at patients with functional disorders. They only tend to look at disease and, unfortunately, until that day when they recognize Candida for being the scourge and the disease that it is, people like me will never get credibility. We may be another 100 years away from that.

I hope that answers your question. Candida is not a hoax. It’s not fake, but there are a lot of fools making ridiculous claims about yeast infections out there. That’s the unfortunate thing, and that discredits the whole industry and people like me that try to help patients and have helped patients for many years with serious yeast infections. Thousands of patients don’t lie, and people recover time after time. You can call it a placebo effect. You can call it what you want, but I’ve certainly seen patients recover from serious yeast infections and systemic infections myself, and I don’t really care what the science says because my only relationship is with my patient not with the science itself.

I hope that answers your question. Thank you.
