Thanks for tuning into my video. Are you hungry on the Candida diet? Are you losing weight?

Weight loss is quite a common thing that people do get concerned about, and they also get hungry on the Candida diet. Many people get hungry because they chop out a lot of carbohydrate foods, which filled them up. We’re talking like breads, cookies, bagels, donuts, cakes, all these sorts of things that people would eat, pizza breads. People eat a lot of these kind of foods. You’d be surprised. So when you cut all these foods out of your diet, you’re going to get hungry.

The other problem is many people start plunging themselves into a MEVY diet, meat, eggs, vegetables, and yogurt. They start eating way too much meat and protein and they get blocked up. This is a common occurrence also on the Atkins diet or the South Beach diet or the Stillwell diet or many other of these protein diets like the Paleo diet. If you start gorging yourself on too much meat, every day, meat two or three times a day, you’re going to get blocked up. You’re going to get constipated. You don’t want to go down that path like a lot of my patients have and firm you up with a lot of pain. So constipation is the last thing that you want when you’ve got Candida. It just creates more problems.

How do you stop from getting hungry when you’re on the Candida diet? Well, a couple of key foods that you can eat are avocado, for example. They’re high in fat, but they’re a natural fat. They’re high in carbos, but they contain more fiber than actual carbos themselves. They have plenty of fiber in them, so they’re a healthy food to eat. Some people say, “Oh, I don’t like avocados.” But I’ll tell you what, you want to try them out because they’re a very healthy food and they’re a very good food to have with Candida. Plus you can mix them with some raw garlic. You can make guacamole out of them, so they can be antifungal as well.

Coconut flour, you can also use. You can actually find plenty of coconut flour recipes on the internet, which is a good one. Brown rice, yes, you can eat brown rice on the Candida diet. Absolutely. Many people say, “Oh, I can’t eat brown rice. It’s carbohydrates. Candida will thrive on all these foods.” It’s a lot of bologna. Many of my patients fully recover while eating brown rice on the Candida diet, but don’t have sweet chili sauce with it or lots of sugary things with the brown rice.

If you’re going to have proteins with brown rice maybe in stir-fry or Asian kind of style dishes, you’re going to be fine. Especially, if you put lots of garlic in there again and things like coriander and various spices that are antifungal, a bit of coconut oil, not a problem at all. So you’ve got plenty of choices.

Eggs are another good food to eat if you’re hungry. Now one thing I want you to be careful of with eggs. If you eat eggs and you’ve got an issue with your liver, for example, you’ve got a fatty liver, which a lot of people have; you can build up too much of this stuff in the body called TMAO. It’s a particular chemical that comes from the improper breakdown of one of the nutrients in eggs called choline. So when this breaks down improperly, this TMAO can build up and it can cause your bad cholesterol to get more sticky and adhere to arterial walls, which can increase your risk of heart attack. They did a study of about 14,000 people and they found that the TMAO levels were directly related to the risk of heart disease.

How do we remedy this? By making sure your liver is working well. Your bowels are working well. Not drinking too much alcohol or fatty foods, deep-fried foods. Going through a regular detoxification, which is a fundamental part of recovery from Candida is detox. So if your liver is clean, your bowel is working well, you’re probably going to have lower levels of TMAO. You can probably eat one to two eggs every day.

Studies have shown that people who eat eggs for breakfast in the morning tend to have no issue with hunger for three or four hours after eating the eggs, as opposed to cereal, so eggs is not a bad porridge in the morning, not a bad porridge, not a bad food in the morning. Porridge is something I eat in the morning. I eat rolled oats. I like sort of like a whole rolled oats cooked just in water, which is my favorite cereal, breakfast in the morning.

So eggs are quite good. Rolled oats are quite good for breakfast in the morning, so there are different kinds of breakfast you can look at. Avocados you can even have with breakfast with your eggs, so you’ve got many options.

So check out my other videos out here on YouTube regarding that. So you don’t have to be hungry on the Candida diet or you don’t have to lose weight. You just have to eat the right kind of foods and experiment.

Thanks for tuning in.

Today I’d like to talk a little bit about one of the main underlying reasons why many people never recover from a yeast infection, particularly a chronic yeast infection, and that is adrenal fatigue. You may be able to read some more information on adrenal fatigue in my book, Candida Crusher, or on our website yeastinfection.org. You can also find a lot more information on adrenalfatigue.co.nzed. There are many good articles on this website, also my good friend, Dr. James Wilson, on Dr. Wilson’s site, adrenalfatigue.org. There’s plenty of good information on that site as well.

So adrenal fatigue is a condition that’s absolutely endemic. It’s very, very relevant to discuss adrenal fatigue when it comes to poor recovery from a yeast infection. Many conventional doctors don’t even believe adrenal fatigue exists. They prefer to treat all the manifestations of stress like headaches, period pain, low libido and insomnia. There is a very long list. So when naturopathic physicians like me come up with conditions to their patients and say, “Look, I think you’re suffering from adrenal fatigue.” The doctors roll their eyes and laugh and say, “Oh, here we go. Another condition that has all the symptoms involved, and if we treat this then all will be well.”

Well, I can tell you this much. I’ve treated now almost 7,000 patients, particularly with Dr. Wilson’s protocol regarding adrenal fatigue, and seen astounding results, very good recoveries from yeast infections. Even people who’ve been sick for 10, 15, 20 years with a yeast infection, whether it be jock itch or a vaginal yeast infection, chronic ongoing yeast infections of many different natures. For example, digestive problems and skin problems.

Many times practitioners will only treat these conditions symptomatically. Even the very best naturopathic doctors will treat these things by giving anti-fungal products to kill the Candida, but they don’t really adequately address the patient’s lifestyle and their stress levels. I’ve always maintained that recovery from any chronic condition is 80 percent lifestyle and diet related, 20 percent supplement or medication related. So you need to spend over three quarters of your time trying to understand the reasons why you got this condition, looking at the underlying causes. I treat patients all day. I’ve done so now for 26 years. I treat many people on Skype and on Face time. I get them here face-to-face in my clinic. I get them on the telephone. And I can tell you one thing; many people have got one underlying problem that prevents their recovery, one underlying problem. Have a think about that for a moment.

You’ve heard me speak about the exciting cause or often what will begin a yeast infection, and there are also the maintaining causes or the reasons why these keep on going. The exciting cause can be something like an antibiotic; they’re very common, many cases start with an antibiotic. It can also be a trauma. It could be a root canal. It could be an operation. It could be a series of strong emotional events, particularly punctuated by infections and antibiotics. The exciting cause can be one or two smaller causes, but the maintaining causes are often something like adrenal fatigue. The ongoing, continuing unremitting stress that patients suffer from their day-to-day life will drag their immune system down, will continue a bacterial infection, will continue a yeast infection, or make them more susceptible to parasite infections and small intestinal bowel overgrowth.

And what happens? They go to the doctor. They get put on more medications. They don’t recover. They go to the naturopath or the chiropractor. What do they get? They get more symptom treatment. So unless you’re really looking carefully at your own particular case longitudinally, understanding these exciting and maintaining causes, and particularly understanding the full effects of adrenal fatigue on your health, you may just be treating symptoms for 20, 30 years or more, drifting from doctor to doctor, looking for answers, only getting temporary symptomatic results. These are the cases I deal with every day.

So I’d like you to read more information on adrenal fatigue and have a good think about it. Think about if you can relate to adrenal fatigue, whether it is affecting you, and whether it is an impediment or an obstacle to cure when it comes to your yeast infection.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this video today. Thank you for your attention.

Thanks for tuning in. Ive got a frequently asked question here. What is a good remedy for Candida on the tongue? How do I get my tongue all clean? How do I get all the film off my tongue? Its a question many people ask me when they come to see me with a Candida infection. How they can get their breath smelling sweet. How they can get their tongue looking nice and pink and clean.

Its not really that difficult to explain how to do that. But what I want you to try to understand is the way to get rid of this coating on the tongue and how to get the tongue pink is to think about the tongue as being the beginning or the entry of the digestive system because its really a part of your digestive system. So to get the tongue looking nice and clean, you really want to get your digestive system clean.

Its quite a silly idea to think if you just focus on the tongue and clean that maybe with a toothbrush or taking some antifungal drugs or something that youll clean up the tongue. You wont because the problem lies further down in the gut. Thats one thing I want to clear up right from the start. You need to get your digestive system all clean and sorted. You need to get the balance back with the beneficial bacteria.

Generally, when youve got a coating on the tongue, it means that youve got dysbiosis or poor bowel flora. The further down the back of the tongue the coating, the more likelihood its going to be the large intestine. The more towards the center of the tongue, the more likely its going to be the small intestine. Anything on the tip of the tongue usually is going to mean the stomachs got a problem. On the sides of the tongue, generally means the liver has got a problem. So if your liver is a bit fatty or not really healthy, youll have sort of scalloped edges. Go to the mirror and have a look at your tongue, poke it out and have a look at the different colors on the tongue and how far the color is situated back. Heavier coatings usually mean more of a problem. People with a big heavy coating often have a lot of gas and bloating to go along with it as well.

Lets give you a couple of tips now on really how to clear this sort of thing. One thing that you want to try to do is start to eat the beneficial foods, foods that are going to help to clean the digestive system up. Cultured and fermented foods. You will have heard about all these kind of diets like a body ecology diet. Theres many different types of diets like that. These sorts of diets really focus on wanting you to eat more foods like kefir and yogurt and sauerkraut and kimchee. These are foods that have been cultured or fermented like sauerkraut. Foods that are rich in lactic acid. Lactic acid has a very good cleansing effect on the gut and it promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, which really help to clean the tongue up.

Theres nothing wrong with giving the tongue a bit of a scrub with a toothbrush. You can even get a toothbrush when you reverse it; its got sort of ripples on the one side where you can actually rub it over the tongue. Thats going to stimulate the digestive system a little bit like when you stimulate the different points on the hand or the feet like reflexology. Youll stimulate the corresponding body parts. I believe that the tongue is the same. If you stimulate the tongue, you stimulate the bowel. And also its good for constipation to stimulate the tongue.

A little bit of apple cider vinegar, if you get an organic one, in water, rinse the mouth with that once or twice per day. Lemon juice on the tongue has a good cleansing effect. A couple of drops of water-soluble or just plain tea tree oil on your toothbrush. Brush your teeth with that, but also brush the tongue lightly with the tea tree oil. Thats going to have a cleansing effect.

There are different antifungal herbs you can get like calendula. Calendula is an herb that is an antifungal. Rinsing your mouth with a bit of water and calendula will help to clear anything on the inside. A couple of drops of grapefruit seed extract in a little bit of lemon juice, rinsing your mouth thoroughly with that. Oil pulling. You may want to look up some YouTube videos on oil pulling because oil pulling with coconut oil has a nice way of keeping the tongue and gums all clean there as well.

Digestive enzymes particularly taken for the stomach and pancreas will help clear the tongue as well. Avoiding junk and take away food, alcohol, soda drinks and sugar. Thats going to help significantly get the tongue nice and pink again. Chewing food properly, another very beneficial thing you can do.

So theres a couple of hints and tips on how you can keep the tongue clean, but the easiest thing to remember is if you eat clean, youre going to feel clean. Your tongue is going to be clean. If you eat crap, your tongue will look like crap. Its as simple as that.
