[Intro Music]
Hi everybody, and thank you for tuning in,
and thank you for submitting all of your health questions.
I will be doing videos based on those questions.
I really appreciate it, and I've spent
some time researching some of the questions,
which were really, really good questions
that everybody submits.
I love to have everybody involved in the community,
to be able to answer these questions.
We are dealing with a lot
of different health concerns these days.
So I'll just jump right in.
What is going on with this new threat,
this Candida auris, that has been
in the news recently and that has been claiming lives
and more and more people are getting infected
and this is spreading.
So what exactly is Candida auris,
which is spelled A-U-R-I-S?
I've been talking about this for a long time, actually.
Candida auris was originally isolated
in 2009, and it is a form of yeast
or fungus that can cross into the bloodstream
and cause death, actually.
So you may be seeing it throughout the newspapers
these days, throughout the news,
and what we are dealing with now is considered an outbreak.
Many people are asking what to do about this, what it is.
It's basically causing panic across the globe right now.
The big thing with this Candida auris is
it's resistant to many different types of medications,
and not only is Candida auris a superbug, let's say,
but many other superbugs are starting to pop up now.
We're starting to see bacteria
that's resistant to medications,
which just comes back into the theory that,
when you have manmade science and
you have manmade pharmaceutical drugs,
nature is always going to win in the end.
Now, there's people out there that
I've researched, that have been
on YouTube, that are saying that Candida auris was
actually manmade in some labs.
It might be a bioweapon.
Nobody really knows exactly how
it came to be, with many other
of these superbugs, such as avian flu,
the SARS, and all these strange bugs
that are popping up everywhere
that no one can really isolate as to the root cause.
But it doesn't really matter if you have
really good natural things in your medicine cabinet.
So yeast is actually a fungus, and so is mold.
A lot of people don't know that.
And at least 150 species of yeast are known as Candida.
It's something you might have heard of,
Candida albicans, which has been around for a long time
and many people have systemic yeast infections,
which is something that I've been
really trying to work with people
on and educate people on because
I think it's a lot bigger health concern
than most people wanna believe.
And doctors are just not testing
to see if you have mold, if you have yeast,
if you have, well, any type of fungus, basically.
One of the things that we have been looking
at is how does Candida work in the body
and how does it affect the body negatively?
And most Candida strains will release
up to or a variation of 80 different toxins
into the body, and when I say toxins,
toxins are chemicals or byproducts
that do harm to your system.
Usually microorganisms can secrete
when they go to the bathroom,
when they produce different compounds
and excrete those compounds through
their cellular matrix, and those things can be acid-forming
and extremely toxic to your body.
And what they do is they just suck energy
from your body because it weakens, it weakens your defenses.
And I've always talked about we
all have a self-healing mechanism.
Our body has the ability to heal itself,
and what suppresses our bodies'
self-healing mechanism can be a multitude of factors.
Chemicals and toxins from the air,
the food, the water, and the microbes,
the microbes we have in our system.
But Candida, a lot of times, is located
in the gut, or it can enter the bloodstream
through catheters or other things like that,
and it can also cause gut damage
and cause little holes in the gut
to where we leak these chemicals and these toxins through.
Now, most recently, the Candida auris has been found
in nursing homes and has been found in hospitals.
Over 500 cases have been identified in the United States,
and the Center of Disease Control and Prevention has stated
that most of these have happened
around New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.
So if you do live in those areas,
take extra caution to do some things that keep
your immune system strong and keep your body healthy.
Talking about the symptoms of Candida auris,
mostly or typically people are suffering
from fever and chills.
So if you have fever, if you start coming
down with chills, many different things cause fever
and chills, the common cold being one of them,
influenza, but just be on the lookout,
and if you have visited a hospital,
if you've visited somebody in a hospital,
if you have those symptoms,
you might want to just be cautious.
But the biggest thing with C. auris,
or Candida auris, is the medications
that are being used, basically the lack
of medications being used, to possibly treat this.
But if you are showing signs, you might want to go in.
You might want to get tested.
And then the big thing, because
there are no current medications
and because this C. auris infection is resistant
to antifungal medications, what I would recommend is working
on your self-healing mechanism,
especially if you've been diagnosed.
According to the CDC, they're saying nearly half
of people who contract Candida auris die within 90 days.
That's not good.
And this is something that needs to be shared more.
This is kind of a warning signal.
I'm not worried about it because
I know how to protect my body against
any type of these superbugs, which they're calling them,
which are coming out and can
possibly cause death in a short period of time.
What I always tell people to do is
just keep your immune system strong
by choosing the right types of foods to eat,
eating more healthy,
incorporating intermittent fasting, getting lots of rest.
One of the best things you can do
to keep your immune system strong is sleep.
It keeps your stress levels down.
Stress is another big thing that's going to,
all of the time that you're in a state of stress,
your immune system is in a state of stress.
When you're in a sympathetic mode,
your immune system has to focus
on addressing the stress at the particular time
that you're under it, or the stressors that you're under.
So try to reduce stress.
One of the easiest ways to reactivate
your immune system, keep your immune system strong,
and one of the ways that's been proven
to reduce stress, is taking nine deep breaths,
or getting into a meditative state.
Doing something that relieves stress,
watching something funny, laughing,
taking your mind away from that.
Keep your toxin intake low as well,
and that means drink clean water.
As a matter of fact, if you want
to just improve your immune system,
make sure that you avoid any type
of chemical-laden artificial sweeteners,
beverages, alcohol, anything that could reduce
your immune system,
energy drinks, any type of beverage.
Just basically reduce those beverages
and start drinking nothing but pure, clean water,
or just distilled water.
Distilled water, and I like
to add a little organic apple cider vinegar
into that distilled water,
and that organic apple cider vinegar,
the raw apple cider vinegar, helps energize
that distilled water, but it also provides
you the minerals and the enzymes
and all the immune-stimulating components
to help kinda keep your immune system strong.
Another thing I would recommend would be to avoid sugar.
Sugar feeds fungus.
Cut down on your sugar or avoid it altogether.
Use natural replacements, like monk fruit,
longjack, stevia, organic stevia,
things like that, and that way
you are taking the food away from the organisms
that need to survive and what they like to eat to survive.
And last but not least, stay away from hospitals.
I don't want you to think that
you can't go visit your loved ones
or anything like that, but especially
if you're in those areas and you're looking
at the CDC website to kinda track
where the spread of this Candida auris is?
Just stay away from those areas
as much as you can until this gets under control.
So I hope that gave you enough information.
If there's anything I'm missing on that,
please feel free to comment and ask
any additional questions, and I'll be happy
to steer you in the right direction,
whether it's are there any products I can take,
or is there anything else I can do
to enhance my immune system, or I need help
with cleansing the body or healing the gut.
One of the best ways to always keep
your immune system in maximum capacity is
to keep your gut healthy.
So if anyone needs any additional information
on that, I'd be happy to answer it.
