Greetings.
Eric Bakker, Naturopath from New Zealand.
Thanks for coming back [inaudible 00:00:07] 2018, checking out my videos.
Got a whole lot of stuff planned for this year, and as usual got many questions from
people from 50, 60, 70 countries.
It's awesome to see all the subscribers coming in now asking different questions.
Please remember I can't physically answer all the questions that are posed to me on
YouTube.
I get 50, 60, 70 questions per day.
It's impossible for me to answer physically all of the questions, so I'm going to keep
trying to pick out different questions from my subscriber base and reply to those three
videos.
It's the best way to do it because [inaudible 00:00:43] got access.
Please also make sure you check out the playlist.
We've got close to 1000 videos now in many different playlists.
There's bound to be a video answering your question that you're probably going to want
to know the answer to, so please check out the playlist on this channel.
I've got some questions here from a lady in Canada called Helen.
Helen wants to know was cutaneous candida is.
She's saying, "Eric, please explain to me about cutaneous candida."
So cutaneous candida is skin-based yeast infection.
There's many types of yeasts that can potentially afflict the skin - not just candida.
There's also gootrichum, trichurus forman ... many other yeasts with weird, constrained
sounding names like that.
So that the key areas that we're going to find cutaneous or skin-based candida problems
will be in the areas where it's dark, and it's moist, and it's warm.
Like the folds of the skin around the belly area, for [inaudible 00:01:43] slightly larger
people.
It could be under the breasts.
It could be, for some people, between the fingers, like the webs here.
It could be around the toes or the toenails; those sorts of areas.
It could be the groin, it could be inside the ears.
These are all key areas where a yeast infection can really take off.
Especially if the person is sweaty and hot.
Summertime we tend to find this more than the winter time, for example.
The warmer climates, we're going to find it more than the cooler climates.
I've seen advertisements on the TV here in Australia and New Zealand ... every summer
time they do this, they advertise this particular powder you can [inaudible 00:02:21] around
the body basically to kill yeast infection on the skin.
So cutaneous candida is skin-based yeast infection.
The more common places we're going to find it around the genital area, the private areas
of male and female.
We get it, also commonly find it, for example, around the feet.
People who wear socks, especially in the warmer climate.
I've seen many people in many different industries over the years.
The people I find that's got the worst yeast problems are the ones who wear rubber boots.
For example, the ones who work on dairy farms.
We've got a lot of dairy farms in New Zealand, so I've seen some shocking yeast infections
of people who, you know, for example, milking cows because they're feet are kept moist all
the time.
We can also get it with people who work in plants, like food processing we see it.
I also see it with people who work with meat.
Works like boners or butchers.
I've seen it in people who do welding or mechanical work, who wear coveralls or overalls.
They're going to have a lot of moisture to the body.
I've seen it in some people on construction sites who wear hard hats; I've seen around
the ears and in the ears.
People who wear earmuffs quite a lot.
I've seen it with airport workers.
I've seen all kinds of people over the many years, so people who wear those big headphones
to stop noises of aircraft and stuff, they can be more prone to that inside the ear.
You can get it anywhere on the surface of the skin.
So that's what it is.
A cutaneous candida is skin-based yeast infection.

I'm going to talk about symptoms.
I'm going to talk about causes.
I'm going to talk about treatments and then we go into a lot more.
Thanks for tuning in.
