the reason you are drawn to sugary things may be candida, and the reason you are drawn to chocolate is a magnesium deficiency. i would suggest coconut oil supplements not to much it can cause diarreha and of course magnesium chloride supplements for at least a few months. not a profession just a well seasoned veteran of the internal wars. been there done that beat that. virgin coconut is a very powerful fighter of candida.   [End]

Hi Dr Bakker, This was a very long time ago, and I’m following up to say that it has never improved. It seems as though the systemic enzymes did something strange to my circulatory system.

He then took milk thistle and cleansed and it went away. My issue is a bit more intense and depressing.

That’s depletion of your glutathione stores, right there. Alcohols are meant to be used medicinally with the live bacteria that created the beer, wine, etc, still in them. The byproducts like ethyl acohol, acetaldehyde, and other complex sugars left over in your drinks are stuff the system’s got to process again and again, and meanwhile, you’re peeing out your water soluable nutrients and minerals- especially the sulfur-rich thiamine which is one of the building blocks of the immune system.

Hi Grizz, I Agree, Iodine is absolutely amazing, I have used it for years and it is very antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic by nature. I’ve found lots of fear mongerers out there who positively SLAM iodine. Have they ever treated patients like I have , or do that read stuff on blog sites and like parrots, go out and repeat what they read? It’s funny how many people don’t think twice about taking an antibiotic, but freak-out when they think about iodine. I have used 50 and even 100mg on hypothyroid patients and seen amazing results. But in sating that, I’ve used iodine (Lugol ...

Eric, How you would you explain the short-lived relief with certain anti-fungals and pro-biotics? I have read about many sufferers experiencing a few days or weeks of relief followed by relapse and complete ineffectiveness of the specific anti-fungal, pro-biotic, etc. Is this a speedy acquired resistance from the yeast or a possible fail of the immune system? Many thanks! -Dan   [End]

Dr. Bakker, I’m a male experiencing severe candida overgrowth(I thought..), adrenal fatigue, and leaky gut. Based on your recommendation in this forum, I ordered the Doctor’s Data CDSA Parasitology x3. The test came back with good healthy flora/bacteria and negative for Candida Albicans OR live yeast, which is confusing considering the obvious and out-of-control overgrowth symptoms such as genital yeast infection, halitosis, foot fungus, yellow nails, eczema, brain fog. It found a few microscopic yeast which is dead yeast, so does this mean I do not have ”overgrowth” as live y ...

Hi Dr Bakker, Just to give you a brief outline: I am a young guy of 24 and used to engage in lots of vigorous activity. At the beginning of last year (Jan 2013) I started on a candida diet with very little information whilst suffering from extreme anxiety and it made me incredibly sick. I had to leave work and I was eventually diagnosed with CFS/ME. I gave up on trying to treat candida after about 9 months. Last October as a result of overdoing I went from mild/moderate CFS/ME to severe and have been slowly recovering from bedridden to housebound since (though I still spend most of my t ...

Greetings, Without speaking to you at length about your condition, it is impossible to say. Probably a good idea to do a salivary hormone profile (E2, Test, Prog, DHEA, etc) to rule E2 or Test. issues out (estrogen and testosterone). Stool testing (CDSA x3) including parasitology makes real good sense, as this test will also include a culture for Candida and many hundreds of yeast species. There sre many possible causes, and looking a little deeper into it would certainly help. Maybe a consultation may help to bring you closer to a solution. Let me now if you think this is a valid ...

Hi there, thanks for your inquiry. You will need to treat this systemically (diet) and may find that it is a difficult thing to do adequately when you are nursing.

I’d recommend you try to keep it at bay (symptomatic treatment) until you finish nursing, then get serious with treatment after. The level of treatment that will prove to be the most effective at eradicating it may have a significant aggravating effect on your child. And, the other issue is that you may find tha ...

Greetings! My apologies with regard to my tardy reply, I’ve been away on business and a medical conference. I always place patients with lipomas on a detoxification program, first do the seven-day cleanse outlined in my book, then undergo a three to four week detox. I’d recommend a thorough liver detox and particularly a gallbladder flush, you may need to do numerous flushes. Lipomas in my opinion have little to do with candida, there may be a connection (everything in some sense does in your body) but I haven’t seen or heard of a clear cut candida/lipoma connection. I have seen a conn ...

Thanks very much for taking time to reply Eric. Also, when I saw the Dr who diagnosed me with candida, he encouraged me to stop taking my vitamin B supplements as that contains yeast. Looking at the label on my Blackmores Executive B bottle, it says ’no added yeast...’ Guess that still means it contains yeast & thus better to stay off them? Thanks so much again.   [End]

Dr. Bakker, In your book Candida Crusher you wrote that cysts and polyps could be a symptom of yeast infection. Is the same true of lipomas? I read somewhere online that lipomas can be the body’s way of storing (”walling off,” so to speak) fat-soluble toxins. About a year ago, soon after I first began experiencing severe fatigue and intermittent ”brain fog” and insomnia, I developed a lipoma on my upper back, partway between the neck and the shoulder. It’s not very large, maybe the size of a half an egg. I could be mistaken, but the size seems to fluctuate a bit. It hasn’t gotten any bi ...

You should repeat the H.Pylori test and treat ASAP. This stomach infection causes a lot of problems and needs attention!

Yes I do. Dr. Jeff McCoombs achieves great results, just like I do. There are many different ways to eradicate Candida. Experienced docs like Dr. McCoombs and myself have seen many patients over a long period of time, and while we may work a little different and offer solutions that may not appear to be the same, the patient outcomes are still excellent. So, the choice is really yours. As long as you follow one plan - and stick with it.   [End]

Take a good probiotic three times daily with foods, take a digestive enzyme with lunch and dinner. Brush your tongue gently with a toothbrush once per day. Use Tea Tree oil toothpaste. AVOID junk and take-away foods, especially soda drinks!! If you want a beautiful pink tongue - eat a predominant RAW food diet, less meats and cooked foods - more salads and fish. Your tongue will look awesome within three months with the right approach. All the best.   [End]

My first recommendations are for you to AVOID all pharma drugs in future, to avoid getting into such a mess! Drugs never solve problems anymore than war gains peace, it just leads to increasing conflict. And the body is no different, once you ”kill” with the ”anti” drugs, you only end up with weeks or months of misery. OK, what I would rec. is to clean up your diet and take a detox to clean up your liver and bowel, it will take about 4 - 6 weeks. You are probably reacting to the antibiotic still, it can take many weeks or even a few months to restore your immune system’s reaction to the ...

Hi there, thanks for yoru enquiry. It sounds like a lot or hormonal imbalances, and depending on your age, it is best that you get a salivary hormone panel done to see what is going on behind the scenes.

I’ve not heard of candida being responsible for stopping a m/cycle for 6 years before to be honest. Fatigue, depression and sweating may be of may not be candida related as well.
