Category: Candida Crusher FAQ Videos

Hi there, welcome back. Eric Bakker, naturopath, author of Candida Crusher. The world’s most popular book on Candida yeast infections. Thank you for tuning into this video.

Today, I’d like to talk to you about men’s yeast infections, and particularly hygiene in men’s yeast infections.

I receive quite a few patients from time to time. I see them on Skype. I get them on the telephone. Lots of men complaining about men’s yeast infections, and these can involve the anal region, the scrotum, the penis; they get lots of itchiness in this area, redness, burning, stinging, painful sex, lots of different problems.

There are different issues that involve yeast infections when it comes to men. It can be a problem that affects the inner thigh. It can be a problem that affects the scrotal area. It can be a rash all over the scrotum and the penis. And some men just get a problem with the glans penis, with the tip of the penis or the shaft itself. You’ll see an image appearing now on this video, which shows you the whiteness there around the shaft of the penis. This is an uncircumcised male. The skin’s been rolled back. You can actually see the white Candida appearing there under that area.

This is similar to what we see in a woman with a vaginal yeast infection because on an uncircumcised male that area is a great breeding ground because it’s dark, it’s moist, it’s warm, and it’s a perfect breeding environment for a yeast infection to occur.

Observing good hygiene is quite important. And also if you’re in a sexual relationship with a partner because this can be transmitted through anal sex, oral sex, vaginal sex, so you need to take a lot of precautions here and make sure that you and your partner are both safe from reinfecting each other or what I call “pass the parcel.” It happens quite commonly in physical relationships. Observing good hygiene; washing the area at least twice per day, having a good shower, and lathering up the area with tea tree oil soap is quite a good thing to use.

One of my favorite brands is Thursday Plantation. It’s a brand from a place called Ballina in New South Wales in Sydney, which grow, I think, some of the finest tea tree oil in the world. Tea tree oil is very anti-fungal. It’s an excellent product to use on your physical body for yeast infections. Make sure you roll the foreskin back and wash the area, and then dry it properly, even use a hair dryer to dry it around the area. Because the pubic hair will tend to trap a lot of water and moisture in the area. Cutting pubic hair back is a good idea, too, if you’ve got a lot of pubic hair in that region. Cleanliness, hygiene, cotton underwear, dryness, tea tree oil, you could also use a bit of coconut oil. Get a high-quality coconut oil on the area; put a few drops there around the foreskin and around that area. It contains a high amount of Caprylic acid, up to seven times more than you’ll find in coconut cream or milk, which is quite an anti-fungal product. You could also put a few drops of tea tree oil in with coconut oil, one or two drops, which gives it a strong fragrance and leave that on all day and then shower it off at night.

These are all good measures, but it’s important for you also to treat internally as well as externally because external treatment is a small part of the puzzle. I’ve seen many YouTube clips on toenail yeast infections, for example, and penis and vaginal infections. And they completely forget about the internal treatment.

You can read a lot more about internal treatment in my very comprehensive book, Candida Crusher, a 732-page book with 200 pages of diet and nutrition. There’s no bigger book with more comprehensive information than Candida Crusher on all aspects of yeast infections. Please have a look at the book. The small price is certainly worthy of you having a look at this book. You can also have a look at my yeast infection survey on candidacrusher.com, world’s most comprehensive online Candida survey. And please subscribe to this YouTube channel because there are many, many more videos coming out with lots of good useful information based on my 25 years of treating patients with yeast infections.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for checking out this video guys. My male yeast infection keeps coming back. It’s driving me crazy. How can I get rid of it? Why doesn’t it go away? I’ve done all the right things. I went to the doctor. Took all the pills. Took creams. I listened to your advice. It’s not going away. I’m really pissed about this. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I get well?

Well, the reason why it’s not going away is because you’re not making the right kind of changes or you’re not making the changes long enough to get the body well. It’s as simple as that. Okay, there’s something you’re not doing right, so maybe you’re living in a false sense. Maybe you’re doing things that you think are right, but perhaps they’re not right. Maybe you’re still having a couple of beers on a Saturday, but you’re not drinking during the week, and you’re thinking that cutting back is going to get rid of the Candida. Maybe you’re trying to do a healthy diet, but it’s not really that healthy. You’re still having some bad snacks here or there. You’re still sneaking the wrong kind of food here or there. You’re committed, but you’re not fully committed. That’s the difference.

It’s like anything in life. Going the extra mile or prepared to do a little bit more than you should will usually give you the kind of results you’re looking for. I’m like that with YouTube. I keep on keep on keep on keep on, so I’m not a person who ever gives up on anything in life. And that’s probably why I got rid of my severe jock itch in 12 months. If you get rid of like really serious yeast infections, you can do it. No matter how bad it is, but you need to have the persistence, the commitment and the dedication.

I’ve got a saying which I like and it’s “Persistence breaks resistance.” So if you persist with something long enough, there’s no way in the world that you’re going to fail. You’re going to break that persistence. You’re going to get rid of that Candida. It’s going to go away. And the good thing also is not only is it going to go away, but you’ve learned, you’ve learned that you can actually get on top of this. That’s going to make you quite a strong person. And then you’ll understand when it comes back next time, you can beat it, and you can probably beat it a lot quicker because you can be even tougher on yourself.

The only way you’re going to get rid of this thing is by doing it yourself. No doctor’s going to do it. Your mother-in-law won’t do it. Your wife won’t do it. Your girlfriend won’t do it or your boyfriend won’t do it or whatever friend you’ve got or person. Don’t look at other people. You’ve got to look at yourself and look at what you’re doing wrong. Look at the kind of ruts you’re stuck in. Maybe you’ve got a dead end job. Maybe you’ve got a dead end partner. Maybe you’re just not happy with life. Maybe you need to make some serious changes. There are a lot of reasons why you’re not getting rid of this problem, but the answer lies with you. It doesn’t lie with anybody else.

Taking things like antifungals are going to help. Making the diet change is going to help, but making the combination of the lifestyle change and attitude change, all those things together, is going to give you the solution. And remember commitment. You’ve got to stay on track. You’ve got to really be hardline about this if you want to get rid of this, especially if it’s a bad problem and you’re sick and tired of it ruining your life, your intimate life, or however else it’s affecting you. If you want something bad enough in life, you can always get what you want by applying the right kind of principles and staying on track long enough, you’ll get there. I’ve got no doubt about it.

So just remember that one thing that I said, the persistence and determination. Staying on track. Following my advice in Candida Crusher. Go to yeastinfection.org. There’s plenty of articles for guys you can read there on how to get on top of all kinds of male yeast infections. Doing my quiz. If you go to CandidaCrusher.com, I’ve got the world’s best quiz for yeast infection. For male, click on the little male image there and just go through those pages and find out whether you’re mild, moderate or severe, and then follow my advice.

I’ve worked with thousands of guys like you for a long, long period of time. I got many patients in Canada, America, Germany, the UK, and Australia. I’ve treated jock itch for probably as long as I can remember, and I haven’t met many guys yet that can’t get on top of this problem.

Just take it from me, you can get rid of this thing permanently if you follow the right principles and you stay on track long enough. You don’t have to live like I used to live in my ‘20s. It was hell on earth. I can remember what it was like having this jock itch. It was terrible. You can get major depression and anxiety. It can screw up your intimate relationships, and you can even get suicidal with this condition; there’s no doubt about it. But the balls is in your court. It’s all up to you, so don’t forget that. And I’m there with you all the way. I’m going to help you guys out and that’s why I make these YouTube clips.

So check out my other YouTube clips and do my quiz and we’ll keep in touch.

All the best.

I’ve got a question here from a patient in California. Eric, I’ve been told I need to rotate my antifungal medication. Why do I need to do this and is this correct?

That’s a good question. This is a question I get asked from time to time, not just from the public or from patients, but also from many practitioners that I associate with. I lecture at colleges and I associate with a lot of practitioners at different medical conferences and seminars, and lots of people now see me as an expert in yeast infection. They actually ask for my opinion. Erik, do I need to rotate antifungals? How do I do it?

Well, it depends on what kind of antifungal you take. If you’re taking one that’s limited in ingredients or has a very poor formula, and many formulas out there are very poor or weak, therapeutically inactive, that don’t contain, in my opinion, the correct balance of antimicrobial/antifungal ingredients. They don’t contain standardized extracts. They’re very basic. They can often contain cheap and ineffective raw materials. Then, yes, you do need to rotate these products. You probably need to rotate them really on a weekly basis. But if you’re going to get a formula which has got standardized ingredients in it, which is balanced and sustained release and it’s got all the best antifungal/antimicrobials in it, you don’t need to do this, and that’s why I designed Canxida.

I designed Canxida because I wanted patients just to take one antifungal and not have to flip from one to another. So if you read about this rotation, it’s actually a lot of crap. You don’t need to rotate. You know. That’s like saying to you, “Do you need to rotate your diet all the time? Do you need to eat this one week and that one week?” If you’re eating a healthy, balanced diet, you don’t need to rotate anything. You just eat your diet. If you’re eating plenty of lean proteins, you’re eating the right kind of fats, you’re eating lots of vegetables and fruits, and you’ve got a balanced diet, there’s no rotation required. You’re giving your body all the ingredients it wants. You’re eating a diet that’s pH balanced that’s going to inhibit microbes because you’re not putting a lot of sugar in your body.

And it’s the same with a supplement. If the supplement is balanced and contains everything you need there to do the job, it does not need to be rotated.

So to answer the question, do I need to rotate? Yes, you do, if it’s a poor or ineffective supplement, and no, you don’t, if it’s a very good and balanced formula like Canxida Remove, you don’t need to do that. So if you ever see that on websites that you need to rotate antifungals, it’s probably a website that’s promoting a cheap and some very basic antifungal, and in that case, you will need to do it.

So I hope that answers your question. Thank you.
