Thank you for checking out this video today. The question today is, is it okay to take probiotics and antifungals at the same time?

Many people think that you need to separate these things. That you need to take a probiotic when you get up and then an antifungal a bit later in the day. You don’t need to do this. That’s like saying to me, “Should I eat yogurt well away from food? Should I have sauerkraut well away from food?” These fermented and cultured kinds of foods are best eaten with a meal, and it’s the same with the probiotics. Probiotics you take with food. Don’t take them away from food. I don’t care what the manufacturer says. Take them with food. They’re bacteria and bacteria thrive in an environment that’s warm and moist.

If the company tells you not to take a probiotic because they’re going to get killed by the stomach acids, don’t take the product because these guys obviously don’t know what they’re talking about. Bacteria do survive the stomach bypass. In many cases, they do.

What I should say also is don’t take a probiotic and antifungal when you’re having three glasses of wine and couple of pieces of pizza. That’s a pretty dumb thing to do, isn’t it? You’re not going to do that. Why would you even want to take products when you’re eating and drinking those sorts of crappy foods? Probiotics and antifungals work best when you’ve got a very good quality diet. When you’re eating lean meats, steamed vegetables, cultured and fermented foods. You’re drinking plenty of water. Exercising regularly. Going to bed on time. Spending not too much time on the computer. Understanding the connection between stress and disease. When you’re using an intelligent approach like this, you’re going to get the best effect from your antifungal and probiotic product.

Take them together. Take them with meals. Take them twice to three times per day as a norm. There are some exceptions with some people, but generally with most people, I recommend they take them with food at regular intervals. If you skip one here are there, don’t worry. It’s not a big problem. That’s like if you don’t go for a walk one day, it’s not a big problem. Just go for a walk the next day. You don’t have to be anal about things. Some patients actually set their iPhones beeping off to take pills at certain times. That’s a bit over the top. You don’t need to do that kind of ridiculous stuff. Take them with food at regular intervals and you’ll be fine.

Thanks for tuning in.

Question today is when should I take an antifungal? What’s the best time of the day to take it? Should I take it with food? Away from food? Should I take it at breakfast, lunch or dinner? Should I take it every second day? How often should I take it? When should I take it?

Let’s look at that now. I believe the best time to take most products is with food. This is when your digestive system is at its most active. When you’re going to be producing acids and enzymes to help break things down and absorb things. Probiotics are best taken with food.

Dr. Khem Shahani from Nebraska, one of the original researchers of lactobacillus, I remember talking to Michael Shahani, his son. And Michael said, “Dad studied lactobacillus for nearly 30 years and said that it should always be taken with food.” Because it’s a bacteria. It likes to be in a warm moist environment. I believe antifungals are the same. You need to take them with food. Don’t take them with snacks so much, but take them with breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you’re a sensitive person, start with a low dose; even break a tablet in half.

Canxida is a good product to take, which I helped develop with a company in the States, and I think it works extremely well. It’s got a sustained release quality about it. Most people can take one tablet twice per day straight up, and in most cases, three times per day. But if you’re sensitive, just break it in half. Start maybe with a half of a tablet with lunch and a half with dinner and slowly build up.

Breakfast and dinner are often the times people remember to take things, and they’ll often forget at lunchtime. It’s easy to forget a lunchtime dose. But when you get into the habit, you can soon remember to take a tablet at lunchtime as well, particularly if you’ve got the tablets where you’re preparing food. It’s all about habits. Habits take about three weeks to build up, and then you’ll be okay.

The answer is always take an antifungal with food for a better result. Thank you for tuning in.

Have you checked out my websites yet? Yeastinfection.org and CandidaCrusher.com? You can also go to EricBakker.com. There are other good articles on that site as well. The question today is why use antifungals for Candida? Why would you need to take an antifungal? Can’t you just get rid of a yeast infection with diet alone? Why not just take pharmaceutical pills? Why not just eat certain kinds of foods and avoid sugars and the offending foods? Is that the best way to overcome Candida?

Using an antifungal is a very intelligent approach. Using a small amount of very high quality antifungal, particularly when the diet is correct, is easy. It’s not a difficult thing to do. By preparing your diet well beforehand, taking out the crappy food, eating a higher quality food, you’re going to prepare your digestive system and minimize any digestive aggravations. You’re going to possibly avoid things like lots of flatulence, bloating, digestive pain, nausea, vomiting, all that can be avoided by making changes well beforehand. Even a month or so before you start taking the antifungal. There’s no point in drinking three cans of Coke a day and then the following day taking an antifungal. It’s pretty dumb to do that. Does that make sense to you? It makes sense to me. As I always say, common sense isn’t very common with a lot of people, especially the medical people. Many times, they don’t even tell people to make change. They just give them drugs, which is a pretty dumb thing to do. Antifungals are an intelligent way to get rid of not just a yeast infection, but to improve digestive function in general.

A good antifungal like Canxida, which I helped to develop in the US. A good product like that contains also herbal medicines with a bitter property, which stimulate the liver to function more optimally. They create more bile flow. And when you can create more bile flow secretion, you’re also going to eliminate more toxins from your body, all sorts of chemicals that the body has filtered and stored. You’ll release those better. You’ll reduce cholesterol levels. Bile production and flow is very, very important in maintaining optimal health because it also allows the proper breakdown and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, so it’s important that your liver functions optimally. A good antifungal like Canxida will improve liver function. It will also inhibit bacteria and parasites right through from the stomach right through to the lower parts of the digestive system. And a good antifungal will even have a good digestive enzyme in it like betaine hydrochloride, which Canxida does that helps to acidify the stomach. And that in turn is going to really help to improve the pH of the digestive system that totally discourages bad bacteria and encourages a proliferation of good bacteria.

As you can see, there are many reasons why you should use an antifungal for Candida. Remember, an antifungal also needs to have antibacterial and anti-parasitic properties about it because there’s a stupid belief that taking pills like Lufenuron, this chitin based product to work on the cell wall. This is belief that people with a yeast infection only have Candida. That’s a load of crap. They don’t. They also have lots of bad bacteria and they’ve got poor levels of beneficial bacteria.

An intelligent approach means an antifungal that you take, you only need to take one product. The Candida diet mentions to take five or six antifungals in a rotating fashion, which is a dumb idea. Who wants to take handfuls of pills every day and at a great expense? One product, intelligent approach. One product that achieves multiple aims in the body, very intelligent approach. Low cost. My idea. Being Jewish origin, I believe in economy, low cost effectiveness, and that’s why I created Canxida. It’s going to work powerfully, minimal cost, quickest possible time.

I hope that answers your question on why should you take an antifungal for Candida. Thanks for tuning in.
