Elsa: Hello, my name is [Elsa 00:00:02]. I'd
like to share my candida story and how I became a subscriber to Candida Crusher.
I'll begin by saying I love sweets of any kind.
There was never a cookie I didn't like. My bags of Halloween candy hardly lasted a few days.
In general, I had an insatiable craving for carbohydrates. And at the same time, I always
remember having one or more symptoms at one time or another that I never could get rid of for years
in my life. Whether it was athlete's foot, yeast infections, nail fungus, different skin rashes,
swollen joints, frequent urinary tract infections, mold allergies, headaches,
edema, and stomach bloating. It was uncomfortable and embarrassing. I dreaded having pedicures for
fear. The person would see what my toenails looked like underneath the heavy nail Polish.
And then there was a fatigue and brain fog. But I came to accept that it was a part of my life.
I would continue to keep eating sweets, never realizing that there was a correlation to my
symptoms. I'm also lactose intolerant, but I still enjoy dairy. I just took lactose
pills for that. But I didn't know dairy was also part of the problem. As I got older,
I started having stubborn weight gain and adult acne and worsening gut issues. And I was getting
frustrated with doctors and dermatologists who would keep giving me conventional medicines that
were a temporary fix. And some could be harmful if taken in the long run.
Yes, they would work, but the underlying issue was never addressed let alone understood. As
my flare ups seem to get progressively worse, I decided to take my health into my own hands
and do some research. I developed an interest in natural health and healing a few years ago.
Although I had heard about candida, I was still skeptical that there was a connection
to my symptoms. And besides no one, and I mean, no one was going to tell me I have to
stay away from sugar. I just thought it would be impossible. And how could some herbs, common
foods and a simple change in eating habits really do better than prescribed conventional medicine.
It had to take a really bad flare up of the symptoms for me to say enough is enough.
I decided to try a candida cleansing supplement for a set amount of days. And I changed my diet
by cutting out sugar, dairy and yeast, something I thought I could never do. Surprisingly to my
relief, I finally started to see improvements in my overall health physically and emotionally.
The symptoms almost completely cleared up. My cravings weren't strong. I had
more energy. My mood was brighter. It felt like the real me was emerging.
My family and friends complimented me on how great I looked. I had lost the weight as well.
I never wanted to go back to feeling and looking so miserably. So I knew that I had to maintain
my health if I wanted to feel this good in the longterm. I knew it didn't stop there.
I felt that there was so much I still had to learn about this. I had so many questions.
There were occasional days and weeks I fell off the wagon, so to speak, or wanting to
enjoy a taste of some wine or certain foods. I'm still working on clearing my symptoms sometimes,
but nothing like before. I wondered, could I keep my candida and gut issues under control and
not be so rigid? Could I enjoy eating again? And should I take a candida cleanser again? And for
how long? There were so many things that came up in life that affected how I maintained my health.
That is where Eric Bakker's Candida Crusher on YouTube and his website articles came in.
I discovered primarily that I was not alone in my struggle. I was so grateful that he addressed
common issues with candida in a clear way with some humor thrown in. It's been a few months
that I've been following his videos diligently with good results.
What makes Candida Crusher different is the wealth of information and his easy going
friendly approach. I'm a firm believer that the natural holistic approach and diet recommendations
truly work safely with your body to beat candida overgrowth. I'm even thinking of
adjusting my career path that supports a natural approach to health and healing. I know I still
need to go forward with the help occasionally of natural supplements, a special candida diet and
nutritional guidance, but the journey overall has improved considerably for me. And the worst of my
candida issues are behind me. So I want to say thank you Eric Bakker for Candida Crusher.
