Good day, Eric Bakker, naturopath.

Eric, how can I reverse the effects of Candida from my body? How can I stop this thing from taking off? How can I reverse it?

Well, it’s pretty simple. It’s easy to reverse something like that when you think about it. It’s really common sense. The logical approach is to stop doing what you’re doing that contributed to Candida in the first place. So if you’ve got a sore head because you keep banging it against the wall, you can either move the wall away or you can stop banging your head against the wall. It’s pretty simple, I mean, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist or Einstein to figure that one out. Do you?

So, I’ll put it to you this way; why did you even get Candida in the first place? What caused your condition? Think just for one moment how long you’ve had that complaint for? What has worked? What hasn’t worked? What steps have you taken to stop this thing from really taking off in the body?

Reversing something is putting a halt to the causative factors. Simple, okay? Everybody out there watching this video will have a causative factor for their yeast infection. And in some cases, it will be antibiotics; in other cases, it will be a high stress lifestyle or it will be too much sweets or candy. For other people, it’ll be 10 cups of coffee with two sugars in it a day. For somebody else it’ll be two or three cans of energy drink a day. There will be causative factors for everybody. But in some cases, it’s a multi-factor cause that’s causing this problem. Or as I wrote in my book, sometimes people have had yeast for so long, they’ve forgotten what the causes are.

So the way for you to reverse this condition is to stop right now and to think what you’re doing to yourself. Most people who will be looking at this video will probably have already made some changes, but if you’re not getting the results you’re looking for, you’ll need to make a lot more changes and further changes if you want to seriously stop this thing and reverse the condition. I’m telling you now; it is possible to beat this thing. You just have to be passionate about it and be prepared and willing to make these changes and keep them long term enough to get the results that you’re looking for.

Hope that answers your question.

Good day there, Eric Bakker, naturopath, author of Candida Crusher with another frequently asked question.

Do yeast infection cause extreme irritability?

I don’t know about extreme irritability, but I do know that they can make people quite anxious and worked up about things. But a concept I’d like to explain to you are some of the toxins that are produced by Candida. We call them toxic metabolites. I’ll talk more about different types in different videos.

But one type is called manon, and not many people have heard of manno. But a 1991 study in a clinical journal showed that manno is, in fact, a glycol protein or a small protein which forms in cell walls of Candida. And when yeast are killed by antibiotics, in particular, or killed in mass, the yeast cells bust up. And these glycol proteins can basically accumulate in the digestive system in mass amounts and slowly drip free into the circulatory system. And this can explain why people can get rid of the yeast infection, but for a long time after feel quite lousy and worked up about things. These little protein molecules can float through the blood and trigger immune responses. And it’s also been reported they can travel up into the brain, through the blood-brain barrier in to many different spaces of body, which we didn’t previously think that they could. But there is certainly plenty of research now to validate this.

There’s still quite a lot we don’t know about these toxic metabolites, but manno is quite an insidious one. And some people can have brain fart and feel spaced out from these tiny little proteins. Other people can have sore joints. There are many other manifestations, signs and symptoms produced by these toxic metabolites.

This is one reason I believe why there can be irritability after a yeast infection has been supposedly cleared up. Some people suffer a lot from these particular toxins and other people not at all. Irritability can also come about from not being diagnosed or having a prolonged yeast infection and basically you’re brushed off by your doctor as being a hypochondriac. I’ve heard this in many cases, too. Wouldn’t that make you irritable? It sure would make me irritable if nobody believed me.

There are many reasons why irritability can be there with a yeast infection. And I’ll speak a lot further on other videos about these particular types of toxins and the protein derivatives which come about from yeast dying off.

So I hope that answers your question to some degree. Thank you.

Good day, Eric Bakker, naturopath, author of Candida Crusher with another frequently asked question.

What’s the best way to clear up a vaginal yeast infection?

There are a lot of ways you can clear up a vaginal infection. I think a good thing for you to really do is to look at a two-stage approach, which I talk about extensively in the fifth chapter of my book, Candida Crusher.

Chapter 4 I call the quick start guide and you can see all about the best douching protocols to use and the best way to get on top of your vaginal infection if it’s acute and you only get it from time to time. If it’s chronic and recurring, a clever thing for you to do first is to make sure that it is a yeast infection and not bacterial vaginosis or a condition we call BV. BV is quite common, and you can read more about this in my book. There is, in fact, a whole chart I’ve outlined with the different types of vaginal infections and inflammations and how to distinguish between them.

A vaginal infection will be a whitish sort of discharge and be intensely itchy. And a good way to clear it up, I think, is premenstrually and post-menstrually. Premenstrually look at a treatment that’s going to help to clear an infection because premenstrually is when the lining of the endometrium is building up and you’re going to get a mucous change occurring there in the female reproductive system. This is a key time to work on yeast infections.

When you’ve gone through your period and you’re on the other end there after your period is a good time to build up the health of the vagina. So it’s important for you to get on top of this yeast infection because I’ve seen too many women treat a vaginal infection with creams and applicators and fluconazole and drugs like diflucan. In time, many of them end up with conditions like endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, all sorts of gynecological complications. You don’t want to go there, so you need to get on top of these infections. If they’re chronic, there’s a big chance you can still recover from this infection.

So have a good look at my two-stage protocol in my book, Candida Crusher. It’s helped thousands of people overcome their vaginal infection. I’ve treated many people now. So I’m sure you can get some success there as well.

So I hope that answers your question. Thank you.
