Eric Bakker: Back at the naturopath. Thanks
for coming back to my channel. Before we jump into this video, don't forget, at the end of the video,
you can download some free resources that I've created just for you,
the Candida Diet and Cleanse Starter Guide, the Ultimate Candida Shopping List, the
diet shopping list, and also the Candida Symptom Tracker, which you're going to find very useful.
These are all for free, so at the end of the video, just jump into yeastinfection.org/goodies,
and you can download these things at no charge at all. If you have any questions, remember,
you can always ask those and either I can get back to you or the team. Thanks for tuning in, and
we'll catch up with you at the end of the video. You're back at the naturopath. Thanks for coming
back. I keep getting these questions. I don't know why.
Can I eat sugar while taking Candida? Of course, you can eat sugar. In fact,
I want you to eat lots of sugar. I want you to have about 12 tablespoons a day of sugar. It's
a great idea. If you like sugar, you need to eat, physically, as much as you possibly can.
It's called Gestalt therapy. If you want pizza, have 20 pizzas a day. If you're on whiskey,
have five bottles a day. The reason being, if you want it, you need to take way too much of it.
That will soon stop you in your tracks, because you'll realize how crap sugar makes you feel.
Here's the thing you can do. Take a small amount of sugar, say half a teaspoon, pop it in your
mouth and then spit it out. Now, watch what your mouth feels like for the next 15 to 20 minutes
after you've sped out that sugar. You'll have bacteria and yeast all munching on that sugar
and slowly, slowly, slowly, your mouth will feel like the bottom of a parrot cage. It's gross. I
eat no sugar at all in my diet. I haven't for a long time. I have honey or xylitol.
Honey's probably my favorite sugar. You can eat sugar while taking candida. What's the point?
There's no point because if you're taking something to clean up the gut,
and then you're taking something to mess up the gut, it's not really making sense, is it?
It's probably like driving a sports car around at high speed with no airbags or seat belts. We
die like real men. All right. We're foolhardy. We think we can get away with all these things, but
we can't. You can't get away with eating sugar. Sugar's been stripped of everything that's good
and there's nothing but bad in it. Try and read up on the sugar industry and what really happened
in the United States after the war. When you really understand what the sugar companies
have done and how politically they've manipulated the situation to get their own way,
you'll soon realize sugar, it's not really good food at all, not for many different reasons.
There are natural sources of sugar. You need to look into different sweetening agents, but I still
think that honey's one of the best. It's so sweet, in fact, that you don't want a lot of it at all.
I've yet to see beekeepers or honey eaters come back to me with really
messed up digestive systems. I don't see it. I go through a lot of honey myself.
We'll be extracting probably about a hundred pound this year, just out of the yard here.
It's definitely a better sugar than white sugar. Can I eat white sugar while taking Candida?
You can. While you can, I don't care what you do, but I can't, I wouldn't do it. I would also
discourage patients from actively doing this. So, anyone who tells you that sugar's fine, well,
maybe you need to talk to other people. Thanks to tuning in.
It's Eric Bakker again, the naturopath. I hope you enjoyed that video. Remember,
go to yeastinfection.org/goodies, if you want to download my free resources I've created just for
people like you. These are things I used in the clinic for patients, and you'll find them very
useful. It's the free Candida Diet, the Cleanse, so it's a good introduction on how to set your
program together. There's the Ultimate Candida Diet Shopping List, and there's also the Candida
Symptom Tracker, yeastinfection.org/goodies. Thanks for tuning in and subscribe. Thank you.
