Greetings, it's Eric Bakker, the naturopath from New Zealand.
Thank you for coming back.
Let's talk about arthritis, particularly inflammatory arthritis and fungal conditions.
But how, more importantly, is yeast linked up with arthritis kind of symptoms in people?
Well, click below in the link in the box below, and you can just read one paper out of many
thousands online that are similar.
This one's about rheumatoid arthritis and yeast infections.
In fact, it's well-documented in history if you go right back, right back as far as the
1920s and 30s in medical literature, you can read accounts of staphylococcal infections,
or even candida infections being involved in inflammatory arthritis, but a lot of doctors
will still push the line, "We don't know what causes it."
Well, hello.
They do know what causes it, because there's plenty of scientific information now linking
various candida species up with inflammatory arthritis.
So, but how the hell does it happen?
How does it get caused?
Well, some people are certainly more prone to autoimmune conditions than others for various
reasons.
Genetic reasons come into it, and there'll be demographics, there'll be lifestyles, and
diets, and many potential triggers for an autoimmune reaction, but how the hell does
it cause this kind of join pain?
Well, it was interesting reading some papers yesterday only with patients who've had operations,
for example, are much more prone to getting yeast infections and particularly if they
operate around the joints, it's not that hard for a person to get a yeast infection inside
the joint.
Actually in the synovial fluid, they've even found people to have this.
Now that's a different situation, because obviously an operation preceded the infection.
But what about people who have not had an operation?
Well, I tend to sort of look at these people and think, "What medications were they on?
What kind of drugs were they taking that weakened their system?
What's the genetic link here?
Does anyone in the family have this particular type of arthritis?"
Many times pharmaceutical drugs like antibiotics are actually linked up...
Itchy eye...
Are actually linked up with this condition.
So, as you know, yeast can change by nature.
Okay?
It can turn from a cell into a [inaudible 00:02:17].
Okay.
It can actually grow and spread and move throughout the body in different ways.
It can get into the brain and get into the organs.
It can get into the joints.
It can travel anywhere, particularly with a weakened digestive system, and the body's
been pummeled with all sorts of crappy kinds of diets and medications, and it will become
weaker and sicker, and as a consequence of yeast will get in.
I think I might've mentioned it, the analogy once before, which I mentioned on a video,
I talk about the log.
If you chop a tree down, you can chop two trees down and you push one log into the forest
in a dark corner somewhere and you push the other log or the same one, you cut it down.
Even if you cut one in half and put that one into an area where it gets sunshine several
hours a day, same wood, same time, different locations.
The log that's sitting there in the cold, in the damp, without much sunshine is going
to get rot, decay, mold.
It's going to basically fall apart.
The other one there left where the sunshine is penetrating it is dryer.
The conditions at different.
Doesn't seem to be affected so much apart from the underside.
So, you can clearly see the conditions that an organism can be put into can determine
the path of destruction, basically.
So, and this is not different from human beings.
You put people into crappy diets, high stress positions; you put other people into healthy
diets with lots of raw and fresh foods with low stress conditions, the two logs you can
start to get...
You know where I'm going with this.
So, it's not different from human beings really.
It's the conditions the person has been living under, eating under, medications they've been
taking.
All of these things contribute eventually to a building up of the health or a breaking
down of the health, and that can push a person into a yeast infection, just like it did with
me in my twentie, when I started to believe that antibiotics actually were helpful for
people and I was placed on those with a chest infection, when in fact it was the beginning
of ruining my life for a couple of years.
I've received some very interesting comments on our channel, on the YouTube channel, with
some videos regarding antibiotic induced damage with people.
I witnessed this hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times in my clinic alone.
So, just be careful with any bionic medications, because sometimes these things can be triggered.
So, the tipping point to push someone over the edge and to push their log into the dark
side of the forest.
Okay?
So just be careful.
That's my take on it anyway.
Thanks for tuning in.
