Thanks for tuning into this video. Question I’ve got asked from a lady recently here actually in the clinic a few weeks ago. Eric, can Candida become resistant? Is it resistant toward natural things? Is it resistant toward prescription things?

Interesting in 2012, a study was published in an obstetrics and gynecology journal in America where they studied fluconazole, a drug that’s commonly used to treat Candida. And they found about over a 10 to 12 year period that all these new strains of Candida were becoming increasingly resistant to fluconazole. The day will come when Candida is very resistant to a lot of these pharmaceutical drugs. But they haven’t found, however, in various university studies in America is a resistance against natural antifungals like grapefruit seed extract and Caprylic, undecylenic acid, these sort of things and garlic extract, for example. These things are very powerful and Candida is not showing a resistance against these things. These things have been around for thousands of years. Drugs have only been around recently.

These Candida strains are very clever how they can outsmart and continually change. One thing that you’ve got to remember is that Candida and human cells are very similar. We call them eukaryotic, which means they have a membrane around the edge of them and they have a nucleus in the center. Antifungal drugs target eukaryotic cells, which means that they can kill human cells as well as the fungal cells. So it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that when you’re going to take these drugs to work on yeast infection, they’re going harm our own natural cells as well. Whereas, other foods or herbs that have been used for a long time to bring microbial order back into balance, these things don’t kill human cells. Garlic does not kill a eukaryotic cell like the way that diflucan does, for example. So it makes more sense for us to use a natural antifungal.

A product I developed up in America called Canxida is an extremely powerful antifungal agent, and I want you to consider that instead of taking something like diflucan or nystatin or any of these other pharmaceutical drugs for a yeast infection. I think you’re going to have a much better effect and also going to prevent the resistance, particularly if you’re going to take this on and off for a while, you’re going to help to bring this balance of the yeast and beneficials in your body back into balance. And not get to a point where you’re continually taking things and developing resistance and then developing even more powerful strains internally to combat.

This sort of treatment with medical people over the years has resulted now in “super bugs,” bacteria that have become so resistant to a lot of these antibiotics that we’re going to get to a point where drugs don’t work on humans anymore.

When it comes to Candida, please consider a natural powerful antifungal and try to keep away from prescribed pharmaceutical drugs because you will certainly get resistance if you keep taking them routinely.

Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for checking out my video today. The question today is can Candida become resistant to grapefruit seed extract?

That’s a very good question. And this is a question I’ve answered before with various other natural antifungal compounds like garlic and clove and various things like that. It’s not really going to happen with a natural compound.

Let’s have a look at a 1990 study that was completed. You can find this published in the Journal of Molecular Medicine. If you do a Google search for GSE or grapefruit seed extract 1990 study, you’ll find it. And what you’ll find is that the grapefruit seed extract was found both in vitro and in vivo, which we’re talking about test tubes, as well as in human beings, to be more effective than 30 different types of antibiotics and 16 different types of antifungals. These are pharmaceutical drugs. That’s quite a powerful thing. This was a small study completed with 30 different people when they found no side effects at all with grapefruit seed extract, which is quite remarkable. You can’t say the same with antibiotics or antifungals.

Resistance doesn’t usually occur with something like GSE because of the complexity of the compound. You’ve got many different ingredients in grapefruit seed extract that have a hand in helping to kill and eradicate Candida.

Dr. Jacob Harich was a doctor who ended up living in Florida who really discovered grapefruit seed extract in the ‘70s and found it to be exceptional for keeping swimming pools clean, for example. And there was a government contract at one stage where large municipal Olympic pools were being supplied and sterilized with GSE. This wasn’t all that long ago when they had a lot of other chemicals at their disposal, but they decided to use grapefruit seed extract.

Grapefruit seed extract has also been used for sterilizing equipment in different medical facilities at some stage. It’s an extremely potent antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial. It’s bitter, so it helps to stimulate gastric juices and that alone will help to overcome Candida. It’s exceptional when used with garlic extract and clove and various other natural extracts.

It’s one of the reasons why I put grapefruit seed extract in my antifungal called Canxida. I put a 45 percent flavonoid-containing GSE in my product in a high quality dry form. It’s very difficult to take in liquid extract over one to two drops per day. But when you take it in a dry compound, you can take more of it in. You should not take an antifungal in unless it’s got GSE in it. That’s my recommendation.

Regardless of what you’ve got, it’s proven to be effective against many different types of yeast, whether it’s Candida, Aspergillus, Geotrichum, Trichophyton, it doesn’t matter; it’s effective against all of them. It’s definitely worth including in your regime against Candida and resistance is not something you’re going to find a problem with grapefruit seed extract. I guarantee you’ll have success with it.

Thanks for checking out the video today. I’ve got a question from a patient in Japan, of all places. Can Candida become resistant to garlic?

No. It can’t become resistant to garlic, and there are many, many studies both from your country, in Japan, as well as China, Russia and America that validate garlic as probably one of the best natural antifungals you can use. There are many different compounds in garlic that are proven to have various effects on Candida. From the research I’ve read, it doesn’t appear that a good quality garlic is going to become ineffective against Candida.

One of the most powerful chemicals in garlic is actually created by one of the ingredients itself and an enzyme, so it’s called Ajoene. Ajoene is created when garlic is crushed and a chemical called allicin, which is inside it, mixes with an enzyme called Amylase. It’s a combination of these two things together that create the Ajoene. American research has shown that Ajoene actually is a cell wall disrupter, so it actually disrupts the cell walls of Candida preventing it from forming. Plus allicin itself has shown to actually have very powerful Candida killing effects.

Russian studies from the ‘70s and also more recently from Japan, I believe there was an author called Benjamin Lau, Dr. Benjamin Lau, who wrote a very good book on garlic and showed that garlic had incredibly powerful antifungal effects on many different levels. So it’s not going to be an ineffective product, unlike Nystatin, unlike many of the “zole” drugs, Fluconazole, drugs like that, for example, that become ineffective after a while. The pharmaceutical companies will never match the power of things like grapefruit seed extract or garlic, so garlic can be incorporated into your diet and also taken as a dietary supplement.

I’ve created a product called Canxida and put a two percent allicin containing aged garlic extract in that product along with grapefruit seed extract and other things. The two percent allicin is going to make sure that you’re going to get sufficient antifungal activity in its own right. Make sure that when you do take a garlic extract, it does contain a high percentage of Allicin. Allicin and Alanine together are even better, so that’s why I like people to have raw fresh garlic in their diet, one small clove per day, chopped very finely, or also a small clove swallowed actually as a capsule. That’s another way you can take garlic. And make sure if you do, just gently crush it or scratch it so the digestive juices can get in there and open the garlic up. Garlic will always remain one of the best antifungal treatments for Candida.

I hope that answers your question. Thank you for tuning in.
