Category: Candida Crusher FAQ Videos

Thank you for tuning in. I’ve got a question here today from somebody. How do you choose an antifungal against Candida? Well, let’s answer that question.
I’m going to talk about Canxida, a product which I helped develop for a company called Canxida Health. Canxida is quite a unique product. There’s nothing else like it on the market. And there are six criteria I’m going to read out to you now on some paperwork, which I’ve written about the product. Which will explain why these are good criteria to form your basis of selection for an antifungal.

This is number one. The importance of using only the most effective and proven antifungal natural medicines. There’s no point in using junk that’s not really proven. If you look at products like Lufenuron, for example, these cell wall inhibitors, chitin busting down products, flea-killing products, and chemical companies initially produced this to kill fleas and now people are peddling it off for big dollars on the internet. These are not proven products at all. These basically tend to be trends that people ride on to get in there quick and get out of there quick. It’s almost like the gold rush. They get in there; make money, then get the hell out of there. I tend to look at natural substances that have been around for hundreds of years and have proven themselves time and again to work, not just on breaking down cell walls or chitin inhibitors, what a load of crap. Too specific, Lufenuron, and there are many other products like that out there that are too specific.

If you look at things like garlic and grapefruit seed extract, for example, these are proven. Not just to work with Candida, but also to work with bacteria and parasites. I want you to remember that most patients with bad Candida yeast infections have got multiple problems in their digestive system. They haven’t just got Candida. They’ve got a lot of stuff going on. You really want to get your head around a broad-spectrum product. Don’t get suckered in or fall for these chitin busting products that break down cell walls. Nonsense. Ridiculous. I only get bad feedback from these things. Proven things. Things that have shown in multiple university studies from many countries around the world, from Spain, UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand. All this research combined shows that these are proven products. They work. There’s no bullshit here. These things actually do work.

Those are the things I tend to use on my clients. There’s a whole raft of them, which I’ve included in Canxida. Pau d’arco extract, grapefruit seed extract, undecylenic acid, undecenoic acid, berberine taken from various herbs, clove extract; the list goes on and on. I’ve got 11 different things in Canxida that are proven to work in a broad spectrum way.

Point number two. The importance of using only the highest quality herbal medicines. We want to make sure that we’re using premium, top end raw materials from the best people like DSM in Germany, for example, who make some of the best botanical extracts in the world. There are specialty labs in Italy and in the US that also make the highest-grade raw materials. These are the companies I source my raw materials from. Not from big Asian countries with dubious quality standards. I only select the absolute very best raw materials.

The third one. The importance of using standardized herbal medicines to ensure guaranteed potency. When you see something standardized, they’re using something with a proven therapeutic window of value there, so we know that something is made to a high degree. The quality’s there, but it’s also strong, so every dose you get in a tablet is standardized to contain a certain percentage. My garlic, for example, contains two percent allicin, so it’s guaranteed to contain this particular extract that’s known to be antifungal.

The fourth. The importance of using balanced ingredients to form the most clinically effective formulation. When you make a dietary supplement, you have to understand that you have to very carefully balance one ingredient against the other as not to overpower things. Too much of one particular thing like grapefruit seed extract would overpower the product and create huge side effects with patients. So you have to be very careful when you manufacture a dietary supplement that you understand the therapeutic value of each ingredient and then put it in its proper place. When you create a symphony, you have to know which instrument has to play at what volume and what particular time in that piece for it to sound really beautiful. If you’ve got no understanding of music or writing music, it’s going to sound chaotic. I believe the same holds true for dietary supplements. You have to understand where every vitamin, mineral and herbal medicine has its place in that formula and know when to bring something up and to push something down. That only comes with a lot of experience.

Fifth criteria. The importance of utilizing a slow release formula, thereby ensuring a prolonged delivery. No other product does this apart from the one I’ve created called Canxida. I’ve never seen a sustained release antifungal on the market. For some reason, people don’t do this. They just create products, when you take them, “bingo” they have this very big effect and then the effect is gone. Sustained release makes sense because you’re going to get a two to three hour breakdown of that product slowly in the gut, which is going to give prolonged activity. It’s going to make sure that you’re inhibiting Candida and bacteria for almost during the whole waking day. This ensures a quicker result and less money out of your pocket because you’re using less product. It makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?

Sixth criteria. The importance of a well-tolerated formula without sacrificing therapeutic activity. When a supplement is made, it has to be trialed and used on people for a prolonged period of time to see if it’s going to create a lot of side effects, if it’s going to make people sick, if it creates too much die off. And we did have the Canxida for prolonged periods of time when I made this product. We went back to the drawing board on numerous occasions to make sure that the product was tweaked and perfected at great cost to me to make sure that it was right. And I believe now this is the best antifungal on the market. If you’ve got a problem with it, you’ll get a refund with this product. We guarantee that. But we don’t really give refunds for Canxida because we don’t really find people return the product. In fact, they reorder, and they also purchase for other family members because they found it to be such an incredibly powerful and effective product.

If you’ve come up with a better antifungal formula than this, I’d like to know about it because I’ve tried every single product on the market for my patients. And I like using the best products with the best therapeutic activity. That’s how we get a reputation as practitioners. We get a reputation by the results we get from patients. Not by a load of crap that we write about something. My saying is in the clinic, all the bullshit stops. Something either works with people or it doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.

I hope you enjoyed this video today. Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks for tuning into this video. I’ve got a couple of frequently asked questions I’m going to go through today. This video is basically going to cover how do you choose a good Candida supplement? What’s the criteria for selecting a dietary supplement that’s going to help with my yeast infection? That’s not really that simple to answer. There are many different criteria, but let’s look at the types of Candida supplements which I feel are best to use when you’re dealing with yeast infections.

An antifungal, obviously, makes a lot of sense to use. Something to counter the yeast infection. I don’t really like using the word “killing” so I prefer to use the word “inhibition” or “balancing.” Killing is not a good word. Killing is used a lot these days on TV and on video games and doesn’t really achieve much. It creates a huge amount of mayhem and destruction, and we could potentially get a lot of side effects in the body by killing.

Don’t just think of the word “antifungal” think of the word “antibacterial, anti-parasitic” as well because most people with Candida also have bad bacteria. They have potentially many different parasites. There’s all different types of organisms in the body. What we’re trying to achieve with this antifungal product, as I’ll call it, but it’s more than that. We’re trying to bring around a balance inside the digestive system.

The criteria for a good “anti” product if you want to call it that which western medicine likes to use. It needs to be broad spectrum. I just had a look at a website, the Candida Diet website, and the person on that website is saying, “Take several antifungals at once. Rotate them in different fashions. Start lower and build up high.” I don’t think that’s correct. You don’t take several antifungals at once, and you don’t need to rotate them. If you take one product that’s very comprehensive and very broad spectrum, you don’t need to take several products, so you’re saving yourself a lot of money. You’re not swallowing handfuls of pills every day. You’re just taking a few. That’s number one. Take a broad-spectrum product.

Number two. Take something that’s sustained release. Capsules work completely different than tablets do. I’ve been in the dietary supplement business now for nearly 30 years, a long time. Unlike a lot of these other websites or books on Candida, a lot of these people basically don’t really understand the dietary supplement industry. I don’t think they use them on a daily basis like I do with thousands and thousands of patients. You soon work out what works and what doesn’t work.

Tablets work the best when it comes to antifungal/antibacterial, particularly if they’re cold compressed. They’re made really properly, and they’ve been put together with a proprietary sustained release agent. This allows the product to break down very slowly in the stomach and small intestine over about a three-hour period. This is very smart because if you’re taking the doses three times per day, if you think about it, you’re going to get six to nine, ten hours of activity there with the product. Rather than swallowing a capsule, get a big effect, and then no effect. A sustained release makes a lot of sense and I haven’t really seen any sustained release products on the market, so I had to create one myself when it comes to being an antifungal. Those would be the two big criteria is look at a comprehensive product that contains everything, and look at a sustained release product.

The third one is look at a product that’s based on a lot of clinical experience, not something that’s been cloned or copied. Because a lot of products are copies or clones. A lot of automobiles are basically – in Japan they’re great at doing that. They look at a motor vehicle and they just copy it. So copies are just copies. That’s all they are. There’s nothing really unique about them. They don’t work any better than the original. Making something totally unique based on a lot of experience to me makes a lot of sense to do that. And there aren’t many products out there on the market that are like that. Those are some criteria that you really want to think about. Broad-spectrum products, sustained release, unique, based on clinical experience.

The second product we need to look at is a probiotic enzyme product. There are many of these on the market as well and many of them don’t have quite the right strains of probiotics in them or the correct types of enzymes or have the correct balance. And again, you need to look at something based on clinical experience. The antifungal is entirely different from the probiotic enzyme combo. Don’t take probiotics on their own. Don’t take enzymes on their own. Take it as a combined dietary supplement. Enzymes and probiotics work very, very well together for many different clinical reasons. And again, you’re cutting down on the amount of supplements you’re taking. You’re taking less pills. You’re saving more money. Common sense. It’s common sense to me. Antifungal, probiotic enzyme.

The third product which I think is very prudent in your choice is a product that helps to build up the integrity of the cell lining of the gastrointestinal tract, so it’s a specific multivitamin that’s created, again, based on experience, the right kind of nutrients with a very small antifungal backbone in this product. All those three products I’ve created based on nearly 20,000 Candida patients now.

Sure there’s a ton of products on the market, but the first product I’ve released so far is called Canxida. That’s an antifungal. It contains 11 different things. It’s very broad spectrum. It’s going to target all sorts of bugs, campylobacter, blastocystis, dientamoeba, many different types of staph, strep bacteria, e-coli when they’re in way too high abundance in the gut, and many different species of Candida it’s going to target, and various kinds of worms and other parasites it’s going to really work on. That’s the feedback I’m getting from thousands of people who’ve used that product that it works exceptionally well. And again, it’s based on experience. It took a long time to develop this product.

When you choose your Candida supplements, don’t just choose them on some flash website, nice pictures and cheapness here or there. Choose it based on someone who’s worked in the industry a long time, got a lot of experience in manufacturing dietary supplements who knows the industry. Somebody who understands the raw materials. Somebody who understands the interaction of these materials with patients. That’s how you choose a good product.

When you buy a good motor vehicle, like a really good top end motor vehicle, if you look at an Aston Martin or a vehicle like that, those vehicles are created by people who race vehicles, who know vehicles; know everything about the vehicle, inside and out. They’re not just copies or clones of other motor vehicles. These are unique motor vehicles. And the people who buy them are extremely happy with their purchase. These are discerning people who want the best. And when they get that product, they usually know and understand. Sometimes they’ll pay a little bit more for this product, but they end up with the best.

You don’t necessarily have to pay a lot of money for a good Candida dietary supplement, but base it on a few good criteria and I don’t think you can go wrong.

Thank you for checking out my video today. Can Candida become resistant to Caprylic acid?

Resistance doesn’t usually occur with natural antifungals at all. We’ve routinely found that with garlic, grapefruit seed extract, undecenoic acid, Caprylic acid, clove, many different things. It’s just not really happening. It happens with pharmaceutical drugs because they’re highly synthesized and resistance can occur. The reason why it doesn’t occur with natural things is that they tend to work on more of a broad-spectrum activity. Even though Caprylic acid works by interfering with cell membranes, Caprylic acid is a fatty acid that contains many different compounds in it that tend to have quite a good shotgun effect on Candida itself, on the cell wall.

If you’re going to look at something like Nystatin, Nystatin is just one purely refined chemical compound with a very narrow band of action. Candida’s not stupid. It can soon work out how to fool this one specific action. It’s probably like a sniper or person with a single bullet firing at a target versus multiple bullets going for that target. There’s a big difference there. Much more chance that the multiple bullets are going to hit the target than the one bullet.

It’s not something I really see as a problem with the Caprylic acid. Undecenoic acid and Caprylic acid are both fatty acids which are best used together to target Candida. These are really long chain fatty acids and the coconut contains lauric acid and different kinds of acids like Caprylic acid. It’s good to include coconut oil in your diet when you’re taking an antifungal supplement for that reason.

Die off doesn’t usually occur. If you’re very careful with these things and start very slowly, you’re not going to get much of a problem. You can incorporate the Caprylic acid any time as an antifungal really in your Candida regime, right at the beginning, the middle, or the end; it doesn’t really matter because this is a food. Don’t see it as a dietary supplement. See it as a food.

The resistance is not really a problem. Go easy on it when you first start and use it in conjunction with other multiple kinds of foods like oregano, thyme, basil, parsley, all these other kind of herbs are good to have in your diet as well. Lots of fresh garlic, include those in your diet. And make sure that your supplement contains Caprylic acid and undecenoic acid at the same time. Even better still, if your supplement contains a little bit of hydrochloric acid in there to help to keep the pH of your stomach low, which will allow better uptake of these things.

I developed a product called Canxida for that exact reason to make sure that you’re going to really absorb this stuff. Because most people who take antifungals don’t usually have the sufficient pH of their stomach or the correct activity to allow it to work really efficiently. Enzymes will work quite well, too, in that regard.

I hope that answers your question about the Caprylic acid. Thanks for tuning in.
