Greetings.
Eric Bakker, naturopath.
Thanks for catching up with me again.
We're going to talk about probiotics and thrush today.
When we talk about thrush, I'm going to be talking particularly about vaginal thrush,
but I might also throw a bit of a slam on the oral thrush.
Because if you're looking at this, you may think either way.
The vaginal thrush is actually quite common with many women that I've seen over the years
as patients.
Many women at some stage in their life will experience vaginal thrush.
It can be quite embarrassing.
There can be itching.
There can be discharge.
It's not uncommon for many women to experience this worse before their period and in different
parts of their life cycle.
When they're starting to menstruate when they're younger or around about the time they're having
children.
Various times depending on the estrogen levels.
It can really be a big problem with people.
Remember that the vaginal area and the anal area are very close together.
It's very easy to transfer bacteria.
It's very, very easy to do this.
Candida in the gut is much more easily controlled and worked on than seriously bad chronic vaginal
thrush.
Particularly, if you're got a partner and you're intimate with a partner, you need to
be careful of vaginal thrush.
I really like people on getting their gut into great shape and to see the gut really
as a platform for overall health.
Probiotics play a wonderful role in vaginal thrush.
Because once you get the gut in really great shape, it's much easier to transfer a correct
flora from one area to the other without risk of transferring yeast from one area to another.
People with healthy small intestine function, in my opinion, have got a much healthier vaginal
area as well.
The small bowel is where uptake occurs.
Digestion and absorption occurs.
Healthy small intestine leads to overall excellent health, including female reproductive health.
Include a lesser chance of leaky gut and contaminating the blood with crap from the diet.
That's going to mean you're going to get less chance of food allergies and immuno stimulating
issues as a result of a poor gut function.
Great gut, great health.
Great health, great reproductive health.
Common sense.
Lactobacillus is sometimes used by some women.
They put it on tampons and they insert that.
It can be effective, but I don't think it's as effective as taking lactobacillus orally.
The best probiotics, in my opinion, are the most researched strains.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus casei, bifida bacterium, bifida
longum.
I also like lactobacillus acidophilus DDS1, which is one of my favorite strains.
Department of Dairy Science 1.
One of the most researched of all lactobacilli.
Over 25 years of research.
About 100 scientific papers published and possibly the only lactobacillus based on a
human strain of lactobacillus.
This is exactly why I put all of those into my formula CanXida Restore.
I've looked at the most researched forms.
I also think it's important that if you're going to take a probiotic, it's in a special
capsule that can bypass the stomach.
Many probiotics get killed in the stomach because the pH is too low, so they don't even
survive the bypass.
Most powders, waste of time.
Probiotic drinks, waste of time.
Many people think that these foods actually get through there, but in many cases, they
don't.
Particularly with people like me with very powerful functioning stomach that digests
food very quickly.
For that reason, I like putting probiotics in a capsule, a special capsule that's bile
and acid resistant.
If you're currently not taking a probiotic that is bile and acid resistant, a capsule,
and you've got the correct scientific and validated strains, you're probably pouring
money down the sink.
Check out CanXida Restore for that reason.
My experience is that when women have vaginal thrush, they eat the right foods, which I've
spoken about, they have the correct lifestyle, which I've spoken about, they do the correct
feminine hygiene protocol, which I've spoken about on YouTube, they combine that with a
good probiotic, they're going to get a very, very good outcome.
Check it out.
CanXida Restore.
Make sure that you're using good strains in the correct capsule taken with food.
Don't take probiotics away from food.
With food, but supported by the correct lifestyle and diet and the outcome will be, like thousands
of people I've seen, fantastic.
Thanks for tuning in.
