Hi there.
Eric Bakker.
Thanks for coming back to my channel and checking out the Candida Crusher.
Right.
We got a person called Sugar Drop.
"I was reading somewhere where you can't eat potatoes at all because they feed candida
and it turns into sugar."
I read a lot of stuff.
I've read that John F. Kennedy got murdered and I read that people never went to the moon
and I read that the government's killing us all and they're dropping poisonous chemicals
on us and that Elon Musk is going to set up a colony on multiple planets.
I hear lots of stuff, but it doesn't really affect my day-to-day life much.
To me, most of the stuff I hear, it's a little bit like the cartoons of Walt Disney, okay?
It's probably not real.
It's probably a fantasy or God knows what it is.
Why do you believe all this stuff?
People will tell you that any kind of starchy food turns to sugar, which feeds candida.
Please explain to me why so many people I see don't have an issue with potatoes or sweet
potatoes when it comes to kumara ... kumara, that's the New Zealand word for sweet potato
... when it comes to dysbiosis, when it comes to gut issues.
This is crazy, but I've got many patients who seem to be doing perfectly fine on a normal
diet involving potatoes and even rice, and these people have got candida in their gut,
we diagnosed it through a stool test, yet they can tolerate these starchy foods.
If what you're saying is correct, nobody could eat a potato at all.
Probably one in four people globally could never eat spuds, because if you think about
it, candida is a default organism in the digestive system of quite a few people, so if that was
the case, then the candida would thrive on the potato.
It would bloom or become abundant and make that person sick, so one in four people globally
would have a serious health issue.
This is a load of crap.
Potatoes affect some people, but they also affect some people who haven't got candida
at all.
Right?
Think about that.
I've had potatoes affect people and give them really bad gut reactions, where I couldn't
find any microorganisms in abundance in their digestive system, any really bad gut problems,
yet they still reacted to potato.
Potato is a high starch food.
Many people can't break starches down because they got poor digestive health.
That doesn't always mean there's something bad that's feeding on the potato.
People have this assumption.
I don't know where this comes from.
It must come from some horror movie, some zombie apocalypse movie and zombies feeding
on humans or something, but people have this crazy assumption that there are two camps
of food: foods you can eat, the foods you can't eat, and then you got the food police
with big signs pointing "Don't eat, don't eat" to these foods.
But yet you can eat these foods.
What a load of crap!
Think about it for yourself.
Don't listen to what someone else says.
Listen to what your digestive system says.
Right?
Doesn't it make sense?
Think about it.
If you feel really good wearing a red dress and you get good comments, but then one person
says, "Oh, my God, you look horrible in that red dress," what are you going to do?
You going to take it off and take it to St. Vincent de Paul's or you going to keep it?
I'd probably be keeping it, because I feel good when I wear that red dress.
Right?
That's how I would think of it.
Right?
Have you tried potatoes yourself to see what they're like?
Have you tried them boiled?
Have you tried them mashed?
Have you tried them baked?
Have you tried to modify that starch in different ways to see how your tummy reacts to it?
Have you tried to eat at different times of the day?
Have you tried the potato in conjunction with some digestive enzymes?
Have you tried to eat potato when you eliminated all alcohol from your diet for three to six
months?
Probably not, so please don't make assumptions, and don't listen to people because people
are often wrong in what they say to you.
All right?
Listen to your digestive system.
Many people seem to think I've got a rather simplistic approach towards healing the gut,
but I haven't.
It's quite a complex approach because it involves trying to get people to understand that it's
a simple approach.
Play that back one more time and have a listen to it.
It makes sense.
Thanks for tuning in.
