Category: Candida Crusher FAQ Videos

Today I’d like to talk a little bit about various immune presentations and Candida, the initiation of Candida and the continuation of a Candida yeast infection, and particularly how these immune conditions relate to stress. I’ve previously made some videos, some YouTubes, on stress and Candida, but I just want to explain some more concepts that you may not be familiar with.

I’ve studied adrenal fatigue and thyroid conditions now for several years and found a remarkable connection between patients with various forms of fatigue and hypoadrenalism and hypothyroidism and chronic yeast infections. There’s a major connection and a very understated connection. Patients, who have varying levels of cortisol, particularly in the initial stages of stress, will have heightened cortisol responses and in the later stages of adrenal and thyroid malfunction will have very low levels of cortisol. Cortisol is a very powerful hormone that the adrenal glands manufacture that has many different effects on the person’s health, particular their immune health.

So with continual low-grade stress and with low output of cortisol, we’re going to get white blood cells that are just not going to effectively have the power to control and conquer a yeast infection. Lymphocytes, important white blood cells, have got a very high affinity for cortisol, in particular. In fact, the affinity for this hormone on white blood cells is many hundreds of times greater than many other cells of the body. You will know the connection between stress and acute illness.

With continual low-grade chronic stress that I’ve seen in many of my patients, particularly emotional stress, people who are still having issues today with financial problems as a result of our financial downturn. People with relationship problems. Problems with their boss or their partner, with their children, with the next-door neighbors, money problems, you know all sorts of problems. These sorts of issues certainly create long-term, low-grade stress.

As cortisol depletion occurs more long term with increasing adrenal fatigue, we see increasing chronic Candidiasis. All of these YouTube clips you look at focus on diet, diet, diet, now take this supplement, eat this food, don’t eat this food, eat Paleo, eat low carb, eat low yeast, but they’re foregoing the fact that if unfortunately the lifestyle is not remedied, the Candida will continue unabated.

So with low cortisol, what we start seeing initially with patients are acute infectious diseases, which seem to take over. We see recurring urinary tract infections. We see skin infections. We see more types of acne and eczema presentations, for example. It’s very common to see respiratory infections, sinus infections, tooth infections, all sorts of infections in the initial stages of chronic burnout with patients.

As these continue on, we’re starting to see more hypersensitivities. We see more allergies. Lots of Candida patients have got allergies and leaky gut. They can’t tolerate gluten. They can’t tolerate Beta-Casein in milk. They can’t tolerate the protein in egg. They get all these intolerances and allergies, two different responses, allergies and intolerances. You can read about that in my Candida book.

The third thing we start seeing is more autoimmune disease. Lot of Candida patients have got psoriasis; 75 percent of psoriasis patients have Candida. In my new psoriasis program, you can read all about that. And unfortunately, nearly all cancer patients have got a yeast infection. So you can now start seeing the relationship between poor immune health and Candidiasis, chronic Candida. You can start seeing the relationship with adrenal fatigue in Candida. So unless you address these lifestyle factors, you’re not really going to get a handle on chronic Candida.

My book, Candida Crusher, contains a large amount of information on adrenal fatigue, on how you can recover from adrenal fatigue and get your life back again and finally kick Candida in the butt. Right? And you’re going to do this very effectively with a powerful immune system. If you want to power up your immune system, get those adrenals and thyroid really working.

We didn’t have enough time in this video clip to go over hypothyroidism, but I’ll address that in another video on the link between hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue and Candida. So check out my book, Candida Crusher, the authoritative, 712-page guide on how to get rid of your Candida. But remember this thing, the parting words. If you get your lifestyle right primarily, and diet secondarily, you’re going to have a real fighting chance of getting rid of Candida.

Thanks for your time today.

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.

Thank you for tuning in. Can you have Candida with no symptoms? That’s an interesting question.

Well, if you’ve got no symptoms and you’re concerned that you have Candida, you probably have got Candida because Candida is a naturally occurring organism. It’s a yeast that lives in a lot of people. Not everybody will have Candida albicans in their digestive tract, but a lot of people do have this, but it’s kept in a harmonious balance. There are estimated between anywhere from four to five or even several hundred more species of bacteria that live in your digestive tract, and no doubt there will be many different kinds of fungi that will live in there as well.

All sorts of organisms live in our bodies and on our bodies, but everything is kept in balance. It’s just like how the world is. The world is a big ecosystem where things are kept in balance, and our body really is a mini-ecosystem where things are kept in balance. But when things get out of kilter, out of balance, that’s when we start looking at yeast infections.

Symptoms are something that you feel; you experience. These are subjective. Signs are something we can measure or see or quantify through testing or analysis. Symptoms, you may, for example, have a lot of bloating or burping or gas and think that you’ve got Candida, but it may not be Candida at all. It could just be a case of having low stomach acidity, which is very common, and this often comes about from stress or improper diet.

Go and get checked out by a health care professional. Speaking to somebody if you’ve got concerns, if you’re not sure if you’ve got Candida or not is a very smart move on your part. So before you jump in with self-treatment, before you go to Doctor Google and start looking for answers, it might pay to go and see your naturopathic doctor, for example, get some expert advice, or a nutritional, friendly doctor. Go and see someone with a bit of knowledge and skill set and talk with him or her about your concerns, about your symptoms, to see whether they are Candida or not.

Also do my yeast infection quiz. That’s quite a good one to do. Go to CandidaCrusher.com and do my yeast infection quiz. That will give you an idea if you’re mild, moderate or severe. So that’s a good start for you. I hope that answers your question.

Thank you.
