Category: Candida Crusher FAQ Videos

Greetings. New Zealand naturopath, Eric Bakker, author of Candida Crusher. Thanks for checking out my video. I’m going to do a video today about diets and why I hate diets. Why I just really loathe them. As you can see, I’ve got a few books on my bulging bookshelves and some of the shelves need a bit of weight loss treatment. They’re a little bit on the bendable side. I’ve had a few people comment over the years that shelves definitely need some treatment. A big like the bellies of some people I see. Have you noticed how they’re sort of a little bit round at the bottom and a bit lighter up here and low down there. Shelves are a bit like that.

Most of those books are diet books. The bookshelf on this side is all my herbal and homeopathic books and at the top there where the white statue is I’m just pointing to now, that shelf and the one under it, there are some really old classic books about health and wellbeing. Some go back to the 1890s. I’ve got some real beauties there.

Nearly all of those books on there, the first three rows are all diet books mainly. I’ve looked at a lot of them over the years. So many of them. I’ve got a collection going probably back from the 1940s, 1950s, right up to today. One thing that a lot of these books have got in common. They’re well written. They’re written by passionate people and they’re written by people who are quite emphatic that “This is the diet to follow. It’s the diet that’s going to give you everything you want in life. Money, sex, power, you’ll be the next president. You’ll have it all. You’ll be amazing. You’ll live to 140. You’ll be invincible. Everyone will love you and adore you.” That’s what that person says. That’s that person’s idea of wellbeing.

Remember every diet book has been written by a person who’s got a belief that that particular book is the right one. I’m not going to discuss politics or religion on my Candida Crusher, but I want you to remember that a person’s attitude toward diet who’s written a book, it’s a little bit like a person’s attitude toward religion or politics. You’ll have people far left in politics. You’ll have people far right and you’ll have the center. Religion is the same. We have the Muslims, the Christians, the Bahia, the Jehovah’s Witness, the Mormons. Unfortunately, the more passionate people get in politics and religion, the more they think that they’re the smart one and the other people are the loser or the idiot. They know nothing.

Now, some people in my industry are like that, too. They believe that their way is the highway. That their diet book is the one that solves all of the problems. If that’s the case, how come I’ve got so many darn books on my shelf and they all say something similar, but quite different? I’ve got a couple of points I want to discuss here regarding diets and what my philosophy on eating is for patients. I don’t even use the word “diet.” Some people say it’s “die” with a “t” on the end.

First point is keep it simple. You know often particularly when you get a little bit older like me, you’ll have a pretty good idea what’s good to eat and what’s crap. You know this. You don’t need to be told that drinking two liters of coca cola a day is a bad thing. You don’t need to be told that eating one or two bars of chocolate before lunch is a bad thing. You should know this. If you don’t know this kind of stuff, then maybe you shouldn’t be watching this channel. Maybe you need to be watching the crazy cat videos or some kind of daffy duck channel or something. If you’re watching this, you’re probably reasonably intelligent. You’ll probably intelligent enough to know how to use YouTube anyway. If you’re that smart, then you’re smart enough to know that your diet needs to be kept simple and basic and plain healthy eating. It’s common sense, isn’t it?

For many of us, our relationship with food is as complex as the most complicated of family dynamics. We tend to make it way too complicated. Some of the diets I get when I get my case taking forms from patients. Like here are some of my patient folders from last week. I think these are from Friday. When I look at some of the diets, I should read some of them out to you, you’ll laugh when you see what people eat. How complicated some people’s diets are. They’ll have seven or eight different types of vegetables in a green smoothie every morning. They’re have linseed oil or flaxseed oil in there and then they’ll put this stuff in there and then they’ll put a bit of salmon oil in there. Make sure they’ve got about seven or eight vitamins they’re taking in the morning. Quite a complicated sort of a diet.

Same thing with lunch. It’s a mixture of too many vegetables, too many meats, too many proteins, too many smoothies, too many supplements. They take all these things in there thinking that by adding all this extra stuff, they’re going to feel a lot better. It’s surprising how many people I see that when I tell them to stop having their incredibly super potent green drink in the morning, how quickly the gut starts feeling better. Many people actually feel sick purely by the virtue of how complex they make their healthy diet. They put too much stuff in there. Keep it simple. Basic diet.

If you think back a long time ago, people didn’t have blenders. They didn’t have all these amazing array of vegetables, fruits, meats, grains from all over the world at their disposal. They had a few basic things. Understand the basics and don’t get muddled in the complexities.

We should let go of all the shoulds and shouldn’ts, the dos and don’ts. The number of people that say, “I’ve been told not to eat this. This is bad for me or I can’t eat this particular food or I’ve been told that oatmeal is bad for Candida. Candida will get worse with oatmeal. I’ve been told this. I’ve been told that.” As I said on a previous video, if I tell you to jump off a cliff, would you jump off a cliff because you’ve been told to do that? No. You’ll have common sense and you’ll think, “If I jump off a cliff, I could die.” Have a bit of common sense about you. Don’t automatically assume that what people tell you is the gospel because it might not be.

Second point is take control of your own health and diet. You know what’s right for you. Not some stupid book. Even my book. It could be a stupid book. I don’t care what you think the book is. For some people it’s good; for some people it’s stupid. Take a few hints and tips out of a book that you find. I never read books from cover to cover, ever. I will go through them. I might read Chapter 9 first or go through here or there. I find that books that tend to be non-fiction are like that. You can use them for reference. If I pick up a book and I read something and I think, “This is a load of crap,” I’ll just throw the book away if it doesn’t make sense. Sure enough, if a person comes up with one ridiculous or stupid statement in a book or a whole bunch of stuff, the rest of the book is probably junk anyway. Just be careful.

Take control and also let go of the negative associations you’ve got with food because you may have a really negative association with sourdough bread. You may have a negative association with certain types of foods that I recommend. Try to stop that negative association. Give it a try. It might actually work. It’s like going for a walk every day. You might actually feel better if you walk every day. Don’t be negative and say, “Whenever I walk, I feel like crap.” How do you know? Have you walked every day for three months? Don’t knock it till you try it.

Stop depriving yourself also of certain types of foods that you like to eat that you feel guilty eating. All of the food police who’ve told you not to eat. You may feel that a certain type of food actually feels good for you. It sits well in your tummy. You don’t get aggravated by it. But because the food police have said don’t eat it, when you do eat it, you feel guilty. Shouldn’t think like that; that’s wrong thinking.

Point three. Listen to your body. If you eat potatoes and then an hour later you’re farting and bloating, maybe the potatoes aren’t the right thing for you to eat. If you have a certain type of food in the morning and then you feel pretty bad in the early morning, you think to yourself, “Oh, I feel awful.” Listen to your body. Think carefully what you ate previously. There might be an association there between how you feel and what you were eating. The listening part is important because that will make you understand cause and effect. Once you’ve understood that relationship, you stop that food, you may not feel awful anymore.

Nourish your body. Nutrient dense foods nourish your body. Fresh, healthy foods. Try to create nourishing plates of food with nice color on them. Also, if you’re worried about your weight, maybe get a slightly smaller plate. Maybe you don’t need a plate that’s really big. Because when we get really big plates, we want to fill them right up. We’re eating too much food. Maybe a smaller plate is all you need. That can make a big difference. I’m quite fortunate with my vegetable garden. I had a lovely meal of fresh beans last night. It was beautiful. We had some chicken and I just had a whole heap of fresh beans straight out of the yard that was steamed and wonderful to eat.

A good way for you to put a lot of these things together, simplicity, control, listen, and nourishment is to really look maybe at about a dozen foods that you really enjoy eating. Fresh foods. Maybe start making some meals around those foods and get back into enjoying the taste of food, the smell of food, the texture of food. Because to be quite honest, when you’re starting to rely more on processed foods, not a good idea. You’re going to really affect your digestive system quite a lot. That’s going to keep you in that state of Candida or parasites. It’s going to keep you in a state where you can’t lose the weight. It’s going to keep you in a brain fog state. Simplicity. That’s the big one. Keep it simple.

Greetings. New Zealand naturopath, Eric Bakker, author of Candida Crusher. Thanks for checking out my video. Today we’re going to talk about SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and specifically what are the best kind of foods to eat for people affected by SIBO.

I’ve just spent probably a good half an hour looking on the internet on different SIBO websites, IBS websites, leaky gut websites just to get an idea on the kind of information that’s out there for people. A lot of this information is put together by people who never see any patients, but there’s also plenty of information put on the internet by people like me who did see patients.

What I want you to really get into your mind is everybody has got their own opinion about what you can and can’t eat. There are no real laws or rules regarding diet. Probably to sum this video up in a nutshell, the best diet for SIBO or the best foods to eat if you’ve got a bacterial overgrowth are the best foods that you can tolerate for your condition.

I’ve got an interesting piece of paper here from a particular website that outlines the different kinds of basic carbohydrate modified diet. There’s probably real major carbo modification diets that have sprung up probably in the last 10 or 20 years. The specific carbohydrate diet or the SCD diet, for example, which was first put together by a lady named Elaine Gotschall for a child that she had. I believe a child with celiac. She wanted to look for a diet that would have very low reactive potential for her child. She believes that if you follow this diet quite strictly for 12 months or more, you can almost get back to normal eating. I can tell you I’ve got plenty of patients that have been on SCD diets for 5 to 10 years and they don’t come off them.

A diet is a four letter word. A normal eating plan that we all do for me what I would call normality. To me, a diet is a little bit like going to the gym. You do something short term to get an effect and then you go off that again. It’s not something you’re going to do for the remainder of your life. If you do, do it for the remainder of your life, it’s going to be slowly modified to suit your needs, to suit the foods that you like to eat. But there’s a lot more than meets the eye than just food when it comes to the gut. I’ve tried to make this quite clear in multiple videos.

The specific carbohydrate diet allows meat, fish, poultry, eggs, some beans, lactose free dairy, non-starchy vegetables, ripe fruit, nut seeds, honey, and saccharin. Not allowed: grains, starchy vegetables, lactose, some beans, and any sweeteners other than honey, saccharin and the occasional stevia. That’s the SCD diet. We’ll come back to that one in a minute. Of course, the other one is the GAPS diet, the gut and psychology diet, which is quite an interesting book put together by Dr. Carol McBride. I really like this book. It’s an excellent book. It’s got some really good information in it.

The GAPS diet is quite similar. A few modifications to the SCD diet. A few less beans. No baking soda or store bought juice. There are a couple of modifications to it. Of course, and also the low FOGMP diet. What does FOGMP mean? Fermentable oligosaccharides disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. These are different kinds of fermentable carbs and sugars you need to avoid in your diet.

When it comes to SIBO, a very important factor for you to remember is have you got SIBO or not? Many people believe they’ve got SIBO. Many people will undergo a breath or stool test. I’ve not found a patient with a very simple presentation yet with a gut problem. Many people have got multiple issues that affect them when they’ve got SIBO. They often have some kind of yeast. It may be an unusual yeast strain or it may be Candida. They’ll often have down levels of beneficial bacteria, particularly the lactobacillus and the bifida species will be low. And they’ll also have other issues like parasites like blastocysts or Dientamoeba fragilis or pseudomonas or there could be other bugs there.

When you talk to me about SIBO, I want you to explain to me exactly what kind of condition is going on in the gut. And I keep banging on about the stool test because the stool tests to me are one way of actually doing a criminal check on your background, so I actually run a thorough check on it. I want to see what kind of bad people are involved with you when it comes to your health. It’s easy to take people at face value, but when you start digging a bit deeper, often you’ll find some very interesting facts.

I can’t tell you how many stool tests I’ve seen with the most remarkable results. Many patients the last few years are showing up with very high levels of streptococci bacteria. Alpha homiletic strep, gamma homiletic strep. Many of these bacteria have sat in the body for multiple years, have become resistant to many different pharmaceutical drugs. Unfortunately, many of these people end up going to see a functional doctor. They think they’re doing the right thing. They’re go on xifaxan or they go on another kind of antibiotic and they think it’s the right thing to do. But little do they know that many different types of pharmaceutical medications just create bugs to become stronger and more resistant. To me, it’s not really a viable option any more to look at pharmaceutical intervention for any kind of gut problem.

I’m not too bad on nystatin for some patients. I’ve had some relatively good results. But remember, nystatin is an antifungal. It’s not really antibacterial. When it comes to SIBO and food, to me, you have to try to understand where I’m coming from. Have you got SIBO? Is it predominantly a bacterial problem or have we got a mixed bag we’re dealing with? Are we dealing also with fungi issues, parasites and beneficial bacteria issues? Then you’ll say, “What’s that got to do with it? Just tell me about what kind of foods I can and can’t eat.” It’s got everything to do with it. Because some people who are diagnosed with SIBO can tolerate a wider range of fermentable carbs than other people who can’t tolerate them at all.

Again, I keep saying this similar sort of thing. I don’t want to keep playing the same record. But a lot of it is experimental. A lot of it means that you need to try things for yourself in very small amounts to start with. A very important I’d like to also stress in this video is by modifying starches, it can have a very different effect in your gut. An interesting comment from a YouTube subscriber who said that when he steamed grains, he could tolerate them really well. But when he didn’t steam them, he couldn’t tolerate them. Many people have told me when they bake chick peas or bake lentils or bake potatoes or bake pumpkin, they can tolerate that. But when they boil it, they get bloating and gas.

None of that information is here on these websites. Don’t automatically assume because you’ve got a problem such as SIBO that therefore you have to avoid every kind of starchy vegetable. You may be okay with certain types of starchy vegetables. Some of my patients can tolerate wild rice very well, the black rice. I had a patient recently email me and said that he can tolerate brown rice mixed with a small amount of wild rice or the black rice extremely well. But as soon as he adds basmati or jasmine rice or any other kind of white rice, he gets immediate bloating and gas.

Many other people have told me that they found the information I gave them was correct was to start on a teaspoon of cooked rice and then slowly build up to a tablespoon of cooked rice and not to take a large portion size. Sometimes starches work better if you improve pancreatic function. That’s another thing you didn’t think about is you need very good stomach and pancreas functional ability to be able to break starches down. Many people have got issues with their digestive organs. Not just bacteria. Now you can start seeing it’s getting a little bit more murky and complicated. It’s not a matter of should I eat this or should I not eat that. It’s not that simple.

We didn’t even come near stress. Fifty percent of people with SIBO have got autonomic nervous system imbalance. They’ve got a big problem with the nerve endings in their gut, the hormone production in their gut and they get lots of issues with that that can affect the motility of the stool through the bowel. That can mean that food particles stay longer in certain parts of the digestive system and cause fermentation. When they should be moving through a bit more quickly, they’re moving through more slowly.

The movement of the food through the gut is very dependent on the proper functioning of your autonomic nervous system, which is controlled to a big degree by stress. Nobody talks about these things. Nobody talks in these GAPS diet books about the effect of the motility and the fermentation and how the adrenal function either up or down regulated can affect bloating significantly in the gut.

These are things I’m going to explore a lot more in subsequent videos. What are the best foods to eat for a SIBO diet? Let’s go back and talk about that. The foods that you can tolerate. The first thing that you need to obviously do is cut out all of the crap out of your diet. I’ve spoken a lot about this on previous videos, so you know the foods you should cut out. Sugary foods, ice cream, alcohol, soda drinks, breads that you buy in the shop, all these standard kind of foods need to go. Home cooked meals, basic foods, foods that our grandparents used to eat, basic vegetables, basic meats, lean quality products, not with a high amount of animal fat, in my opinion, not really the good way to go. Butter, I’ve always been a big fan of butter. Basic foods of a very high quality nature, cooked okay, are usually going to agree with your gut quite well.

Remember, the stress part. I read another very interesting article about the exhaustion epidemic, which I’m going to do a video on today, too, about how many people now are exhausted. We’re sleeping two hours a night less than people did 70 years ago. Don’t you think that affects the gut? Come on. We’re getting more people with gut problems than we’ve ever seen before in clinics like I run. In my mind, a big part of it is technology. Staying up at night. Not sleeping anymore.

What’s that got to do with eating? This is a SIBO diet video. What the hell are you talking about? I’m trying to show you than there’s a lot more than meets the eye than just what you put in here. It’s also your lifestyle. That’s something I don’t want you to forget. In the next video, we’re going to talk a little bit about the foods you shouldn’t eat with SIBO and there’s clearly defined foods that I really want you to avoid probably for a good 6 to 12 months.

Let’s sum everything up we’ve said in the video. Experiment with your diet. By all means, read the GAPS book, the SCD book, the FOGMP books, read all those books. Get good ideas out of those books. Also have a look at Candida Crusher because I write quite a lot about different diet approaches in that book. I write about body ecology and GAPS and all these sorts of books. Donna Gags has got good ideas with body ecology, putting fermented and cultured foods back into the diet. Everybody’s got their take on it. And all the shelves you see behind me all bowing and ready to fall over, a lot of these are full of diet books.

The best diet for you is the book that you write for yourself. It’s the foods that you can tolerate at this point in your life. Disappointed? Don’t be disappointed. Diet plays an important, but in my opinion, a minor role in recovery from a lot of gut problems. Think about it. Thanks for tuning in. Don’t forget to click on the link below for your free report. Thank you.

Greetings. New Zealand naturopath, Eric Bakker. Author of Candida Crusher. Thanks for checking out my video and thank you for all my subscribers for sending in different kinds of comments, lots of good feedback and also for your questions. I’ve got lots of questions. In fact, I’ve got so many questions. I’ve got paperwork full of questions.

Let’s go through a few today. We’re going to cover a couple of different videos today. The first one I’m going to cover, which I’ve had a few people asking me from different countries, particularly a few parts in South America and also North America. “How do you get rid of tapeworms naturally? Eric, how do I get rid of tapeworms?”

Let’s talk about worms in general for a minute. I will talk about tapeworms as well, of course, but many people freak out about worms. You’d be surprised how many times I’ve seen a photo that someone sent me or I picked up a picture from some website or looked at YouTube about all kinds of bowel motion pictures and people thinking they’re passing out worms. “Look at this huge parasite I passed out and this massive worm. It’s like a UFO almost,” one guy said. Crazy. I’ve even had people ask me if they’re passing out worms through her eyes, ears, nose, penis, vagina, you name any part of the body and someone thinks they’ve got a worm coming out. Some people think you’ve got worms in your eyes. There’s a lot of funny people out there.

Most times when you see something in the stool and it appears like a worm, it’s not a worm at all. It’s an undigested food particle. A lady sent me this alarming photo as part of her consultation saying she was very, very anxious and scared. She thought she was going to die. When I looked at the picture, it was peas. It was small round pieces of pea that were undigested and she thought these were larvae and parasites and things. Basically, many different types of vegetables, unless they’re chewed properly, will be passed out partially digested and you may think that you’ve got worms, but you haven’t at all. So be careful. Don’t freak out. You’re not passing a UFO. What a crazy thing to say. There’s some funny people out there. You better have a sense of humor in my business, otherwise you go nuts.

Let’s look at a bit about tapeworms. Tapeworms are flat worms. They’re segmented worms. These can be about the biggest parasite that can really live inside the human body. They can get quite large. They can get very long. Generally, they’re going to come from uncooked meat, so beef, pork, lamb, fish. Different kinds of species of tapeworms can live in different kinds of animals. Particular types can live in fish, beef. With land animals, I’m not sure about fish, but I know that they pass generally through the fecal matter. Animals will basically pass out wastes and then eggs or larvae deposit on the ground. Other animals will pick that up through feeding. It will go into the animal. It will live in the intestinal tract and it will develop into a mature adult stage, release eggs, and then the cycle continues.

But also people who handle contaminated meat or who actually have tapeworms, they can actually, if they’re not clean and hygienic, if they’re not in there handwashing, they could actually pass eggs or larvae onto other people through food handling practices and things like that. I don’t want you freaking out about tapeworms. Because in all the years I’ve practiced, which is nearly 30, I’ve only had one case of tapeworms. Tapeworm is quite rare today. It’s not a very common thing you’re going to find in practice. Not very common at all. Much more common to find parasites that you can’t see with the eye like blastocysts, for example, which is probably one of the world’s most common of all parasites. Not tapeworms. People think of parasites, they think about huge beetles and worms crawling through people’s bodies and stuff like that. It’s not like that at all. You can’t see these things with the eye. You need a microscope. It’s incredible how many people have told me that they can feel big bugs crawling around inside of them or they feel digestive systems or they get noises internal. They think it’s worms burrowing through their intestinal tract. These people have got an amazing sense of imagination. They’d probably do good in movies or plays or things like that or become good comedians maybe. I want you to rest assured. Tapeworms are not that common. In some countries, they probably will be much more common, but in North America and Europe, they’re actually not common at all.

The three stages of a tapeworm. We’ve got the egg stage, the larvae stage, and then we’ve got the adult stage. You can in very rare cases actually have a serious infestation of tapeworm. It can burrow into different organs and it can get pretty bad. But in those cases, an MRI will be required to see if there is any infestation throughout the body. But generally, with a stool test, we can pick up eggs quite successfully for tapeworms. As I mentioned, I’ve done a lot of stool testing and I’ve only ever seen one tapeworm report come back.

What are the symptoms of tapeworm? Symptoms of tapeworm are generally similar to the symptoms of other parasites. It could be a lot of nausea, vomiting, weight loss, bloating, anorexia, lack of appetite, all sorts of strange, crazy symptoms that we can get with parasites. Weakness, weight loss, tiredness, diarrhea is a common one, bloating. These are all common symptoms.

What’s the medical treatment? There are two drugs I’ve written down here. praziquantel and albendazole are the two common drugs that are used for tapeworm. Many people believe that only medical treatment is required for tapeworm and for the successful eradication of tapeworm, but that’s not the case. For thousands of years before drugs even came along, people did eradicate all kinds of parasites, bugs, worms, and bad bacteria from their bodies. They didn’t go down to Wal-Mart back in the old days. The Aztecs didn’t really have Google did they? When you think about it.

If you think back to the good old days, what did people do to get rid of tapeworm? They had nature’s pharmacy. They relied on different plants out there. They relied on seeds and nuts and fruits and vegetables and many things. This knowledge was passed down from one generation to another generation to another generation. We call this empirical observation. People worked out that certain things and certain things didn’t work. They didn’t actually and do university studies and double blind trials and all this crap that we’ve got to go through today. It either worked or it didn’t work. I’m a bit like that in my clinic with patients, too. I believe that a treatment either works or it doesn’t work. Observation works well. And the longer you’ve been in practice, the longer your own empirical observations have built up over a long period of time and then you can make reasonably good judgments on what’s going to be effective for the person and what’s not going to be effective.

You can go down the pharmaceutical route for tapeworm if you want, but it’s not necessary. I’ll share with you now some really good natural tips and tricks on how to eradicate not just tapeworm, but different kinds of worms from the body in general. And you don’t need a whole bunch of money. You don’t need a whole bunch of dozens of different supplements from the internet. You just need a couple of carefully placed foods in your diet and understand the principles and you’re going to go a long way toward natural eradication of tapeworm.

If you look at probably one of the most common things that were used by different American Indian tribes, but also the South Americans, for tapeworm for generations. And also people in different countries in Asia how they eradicated. They just used to use the pumpkin. Pumpkin has actually been validated through a 2004 study conducted in Peru where they found that pumpkins seeds, in fact, were probably just as effective as using natural vermifugos, which is another word for expelling worms and parasites from your body. Pumpkin seeds are very effective. They contain an amino acid, cucurbitacin. That’s a particular type of amino. That amino they found has an interesting effect on eradicating the tapeworm by interfering with its reproductive cycle, but also directly affecting the worm itself.

Pumpkins are quite good to eat. If you feel you’ve got parasites, pumpkin or pumpkin seed even more so. I’m not a crazy person by any means, but I believe a really good time to treat worms and parasites is before a full moon. Again, traditionally, if you look back in history. For thousands of years, this is what people did. They really planted crops by the moon. They harvested by the moon. But they also treated for parasites by the moon cycle. I wrote about this in my book, Candida Crusher. You can look it up. If you look three to four days before a full moon. We call that the waxing moon. Moon coming up. That’s a very key time to treat parasites. Chewing on pumpkin seeds or eating a lot of pumpkin seeds before a full moon will have more benefit than after a full moon.

Looking back at some interesting books on South America on the Aztecs, for example, and people like that, this is what they did. Actually treated before a full moon. Interesting when you’re going to harvest crops. I’ll just give you a few tips here. If you’re going to chop fire wood or harvest crops, be careful about taking them too late after the full moon. Because what happens is moisture can be affected a lot, so you’re going to have more moisture coming in before a full moon and less moisture after a full moon. There is heightened tension before a full moon. This is where things build up. They come to a head at full moon. Then they tend to simmer down and settle down going toward the new moon at the other end of the cycle.

Coming back to tapeworms. That’s a good time often to have extra pumpkin seed in your diet and good for children. If you notice of their children, you’ll find their bottoms become itchier if they’ve got roundworm before a full moon than at the other end of the cycle. Just an interesting observation.

In this particular study from Peru found between 70 to 80 pumpkin seeds as a dose was quite good. You actually grind them up into a powder, then you can sprinkle that on food. Pumpkin seed also contains a lot of zinc and some people believe that it’s the zinc portion is the effective thing against expelling parasites. Others believe it’s the amino acid. I don’t care what it is. The thing is I know that pumpkin seeds do work.

Another tip that I’ve learned in my practice and just talking with lots of practitioners over the years is grated carrot and grated beet root. Fresh beet root and fresh carrot. Mix them together. You get this lovely red orange salad. Don’t put anything on this stuff. Just have straight beet root and carrot together. You have about one to two tablespoons again for about a week leading up to the full moon. You can eat it any time, but I just think it works better then. You try that trick. Grated carrots, crated beet root.

I’ve grow my own carrots and beet roots, so can tell you. It’s an incredibly effective way also to clean the liver up and just to regenerate the gut and the body in general. Very fresh carrots pulled out of the garden, washed, and very fresh beet roots are delightful baked. You can bake them together. You can grate them together. They just work well I find that combination. It’s a lovely color on the plate, too, having those two things. I often put a twist of fresh lemon juice on it.

Two other fruits that are going to be effective for tapeworm are pineapple and papaya. Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain. Bromelain is a digestive enzyme found in pineapple. One expert that I was reading up on believes a three-day pineapple fast is very, very effective for tapeworm. Be careful of course if you’ve got a Candida yeast infection. You can’t just gorge yourself on fruit. I think papaya is actually not too bad for some people with Candida. Pineapple you need to be much more careful because it’s potentially allergenic. Papaya is not so allergenic. I prefer papaya and, in fact, the black papaya seeds are used by a lot of people in the Asian-Pacific region. You can actually dry those black seeds found in papaya. You can put them in your pepper grinder. Use it like pepper. In fact, a lot of people do that and they actually help to soften up predigested meat, so when you eat it, it’s easy to digest.

Green papaya leaves when wrapped around very tough steak, you’d be surprise how tender the steak is. Get one or two big papaya leaves. Not too old, so reasonably young. I used to grow the papayas. I tried this out myself one day with a piece of chuck steak. That crappy steak with a lot of fat in it that you put in the casserole. You try that. You just get a nice couple of big papaya leaves. What you do is you put them on a surface, put a wooden roller over it or just gentle crush them, but don’t wreck them, and then wrap that right around the meat. Two or three leaves right around it and just pull it tight. Put that in a bag and put that in your refrigerator for one or two days and you watch what happens. It’ll be nice and tender. Tenderized steak. That’s the action of the enzymes starting to break the protein fibers down, soften them.

Black seeds from the papaya. You can dry them and grind them on food. You can also chew them fresh. They’re great to give to children ground up on food to stop roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, all kinds of things. The papaya contains papain, which is also a digestive enzyme. Papaya is a fantastic food for people for traveling in the tropics to keep their gut clean. Pineapple similarly. I love pineapple and prefer to eat it when I go to tropical countries because it’s sweet, juicy and fresh. That crap they’ve got in New Zealand. They’re pick it green. They’ll throw it on a boat. They’ll gas ripen it. When it gets here, I don’t really like pineapple in our country because it doesn’t grow here. Always try to eat fruits where they’re grown. It’s a good tip. If you live in the States, it’s crazy to eat bananas in the middle of winter when they’re picked somewhere in another country. I just don’t think that’s the right thing to do.

I hope that gives you a few tips and some good information on tapeworm. Avoid sugar. Worms and parasites love sugar. Also consider my Canxida Remove product, the tablet. That contains a lot of ingredients that are going to really piss of these tapeworms big time, especially the black walnut, but also the berberine. It’s quite an effective tablet against parasites in general. You’ll find that at Canxida.com. Also don’t forget to click in the link in the description box below to get my free Candida report.
