Category: Candida Crusher FAQ Videos

Thank you for tuning into my video today. Doing another expert review today. This time on a product from NOW Foods called Candida Support Formula. Not a bad antifungal. The problem is it has too many weak points about it. It’s probably going to help some people, but it just hasn’t got that punch. To me, this is like using a 9 millimeter handgun on an elephant when, in fact, you want to use a 50 caliber, so you want to pack something with a lot more punch.

Does that mean if you’re going to use a stronger product, you’re going to get more aggravations on patients? No. It doesn’t mean that. Not if it’s in a great delivery form and given in the right dose, you’ll have no problem at all with patients.

This product contains Caprylic acid, pau d’arco, black walnut and oregano oil, and it’s in a capsule. But the problem is it’s only got four ingredients in it, so it’s quite weak. If you’re going to take something, as I said, you want to take something more balanced. Being in a capsule, unfortunately in my opinion, is not really good as an antifungal. I think a tablet is the way to go. It’s going to last longer. You’re going to be able to compress more into the tablet, and you can also add some sustained release ingredients in there that help to slow down the rate of breakdown and absorption of the product.

When you give a capsule to someone, a multi-vitamin, I think, is better delivery for a capsule rather than an antifungal. When the body takes the capsule in, the dissolution is quite quick in the stomach. There’s a rapid release of ingredients there and then there’s nothing. When you’ve got a sustained release in a tablet form, it breaks down more slowly over a period of a couple of hours, which gives your body more of a drip feed of the active ingredients which is going to have a prolonged, in my opinion, activity when it comes to yeast infection.

The other thing I’m not really happy about with this product from NOW is none of the ingredients are standardized, so you’re looking at a cheap Caprylic acid, cheap pau d’arco. We don’t know the country of origin of these ingredients. We don’t know how strong the ingredients are or the activity of them. And there are too many missing links in this product.

I have used this product on numerous Candida patients with very average to poor results. This is one of the reasons why I created a product called Canxida. Canxida is a tablet which you’re going to find on Amazon, and it’s the most powerful product of any antifungal you’ll ever find on Amazon.

How can I make that claim? I can make that claim because it’s based on over 25 years of treating Candida patients just like you. I’ve used every product I’ve been able to get my hands on and created what I believe is a super antifungal. Two percent allicin containing garlic, Caprylic acid, 45 percent flavonoid containing grapefruit seed extract, which was missing in NOW, which is unfortunate. Four to one pau d’arco, so I’m using a very strong pau d’arco extract to give that extra punch that your patient requires. Undecylenic acid which goes beautiful with Caprylic acid and most antifungals never contain those two acids together. Black walnut, 4 to 1 again, strong. Neem extract, never seen it before in an antifungal, but very good for all those little bacteria that you want to eradicate in the large intestine. Butane hydrochloride because you want to acidify the environment of the gut to allow particularly the undecylenic acid to work more effectively. I’ve not really seen it before in any other product but a very important requirement. Eighty-five percent berberine, berberine is used as a natural antibiotic, so we use it again for wiping out bacteria. I also put clove extract in this product as well, and a bit of biotin to stop basically Candida getting out of control.

While I don’t believe NOW is a bad product, I don’t think it’s a good product. And I think it’s too weak to be really taken seriously by you if you’re wishing to purchase an antifungal.

So consider the product Canxida which took me a long time to design and make and even longer to get a hold of all these ingredients. It took a long time. Anything worthwhile takes time. Anyone can slap a product together in a couple of weeks. But the thing is, is it going to be effective in the clinic? Is it going to be worth your while spending that money on? So the dietary and lifestyle advice I give in Candida Crusher along with a very good antifungal is going to have an incredible effect on restoring your health, and that’s what it’s all about. Recovery in the shortest possible time, spending the least amount of money.

Thanks for tuning in.

I have a question today from a lady in America who wishes to remain anonymous. Can I use Nystatin and Triamcinolone for a yeast infection?

Triamcinolone is a synthetic corticosteroid drug. So a steroid is generally used to suppress the immune system. There are different kinds of steroids you can use. You can use inhaled steroids for asthma, for example. You can use steroids internally like prednisone for different types of autoimmune diseases, lupus, for example, rheumatoid arthritis; steroids can be used for a wide range of different conditions. You can hydrocortisone, a steroid used topically for eczema, which it shouldn’t be used for, but is used for eczema quite often or different types of skin problems, bites or swellings or things like that.
Steroids basically have a very powerful immunosuppressant effect, whereas, the Nystatin is an antifungal. So this patient wants to know if she can use both of those drugs together. It’s not a good idea to start playing those sorts of games with these dangerous pharmaceutical medications.

Nystatin itself is not so bad. I’ve had some reasonably good results with Nystatin with many different patients. I took Nystatin myself back in the ‘80s when I had a severe yeast infection. I found it to be quite effective. When you’re taking about a million units per day for four or five weeks, it can have a big effect on reducing yeast in the body. But I don’t really recommend Nystatin anymore because of the die off which I have seen occur and the severe side effects with some patients. You have to be careful what you take, but when you’re playing a dangerous game of suppressing immunity and taking a pharmaceutical antifungal, the side effects can be quite devastating.

The Triamcinolone, there’s some different names for it I’ll read to you here. The trade names of them can be Kenacort, Aristocort, Kenalog, Tricort, Azmacort, Tricortone, anything with “cort” in it will mean corticosteroid, generally. It’s not really a drug of choice.

I’ll just read out some of the side effects I’ve got on the screen here of Triamcinolone, sore throat, nose bleeds, increased coughing, headache, runny nose, allergic reactions, including rash, itch, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing, palpitations or irregular heartbeat, major insomnia can occur. An additional side effect for some women I’ve known is a prolonged menstrual cycle. We never get these kind of problems with natural products, but all these pharmaceutical drugs come with hefty side effects, so you need to really watch out when you’re taking these drugs. They can make you quite ill. Then you’re going to think you’ve got additional diseases that need treatment and, of course, the doctor will conveniently have another drug for that so-called illness, which it isn’t at all.

No. I don’t recommend you take these drugs. I think you should follow principles of natural Candida control and management. Go to yeastinfection.org and, if you want to, get my book Candida Crusher, which has got an incredible amount of information in it on how you can get rid of this skin condition which you’ve got without the use of toxic pharmaceutical medications.

I hope that answers your question. Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks for checking out this video. Here’s a question I got asked only about a month ago by a patient. I wrote it down. I think I’ve actually answered this question on my website, yeastinfection.org. Eric, can waxing cause a yeast infection? Can I get a yeast infection from having waxing?

I don’t think you can and I believe, in fact, the opposite occurs. If you get waxing done every now and then, it can probably keep the area cleaner by reducing the amount of pubic hair in the area.

There are pros and cons of waxing different parts of the body. Some people say that it disrupts the epithelial of the skin layer and it disrupts the pH of the skin. It can make you more prone to damage and infection. Other people say the opposite. They say that it actually is very good for areas like in an armpit and pubic hair, but I don’t think it’s a real problem.

I think the big thing with a yeast infection is to look at the hygiene, look at the cleanliness, and look at the diet and the lifestyle. These things I keep drumming into you people with my YouTube clips. You need to look at the whole picture. I don’t really believe that waxing every now and then really contributes to yeast infection at all.

The big thing with men with groin, for example, and jock itch, they need to trim their public hair and keep the area dry. And some of the females with thrush, especially if it’s around the mons pubis, around the vulvar area. Keep that area relatively dry. After you’ve had a shower or during a shower, trim the pubic hair, use a hair dryer after to dry the area thoroughly, use cotton underclothing. And when you’ve got any irritation in the area, make sure you shower twice per day, once a day is not enough. Twice per day. When you get up in the morning, have a shower, and before you retire at night, have a shower. Very smart idea because yeast hates dryness. It hates clean cotton underclothing. It likes sweaty things like pantyhose and nylon and these sorts of things. That’s how you’re going to encourage it. So, of course, reducing pubic hair allows more air to flow around the area and keeps the area dryer.

So to answer your question, no. I don’t really think that regular waxing contributes to a yeast infection.

Thanks for your inquiry.
