these things at no charge at all. If you have any questions, remember, you can always ask those and
either I can get back to you or the team. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch
up with you at the end of the video. Eric Bakker, Naturopath. How are you guys
going? A question I got asked is why does candida seem to not develop a resistance against oregano?
Well, you need to go to Google and have a good look if you want to spend all afternoon reading
several different types of studies, and you're going to read about murines, and phenols and
all the biochemistry terms, all the stuff that might just go over here somewhere.
But oregano contains this extract, a compound called carvacrol. Now, all the studies I've
looked at show that carvacrol's probably got the highest activity of all plant compounds when it
comes to stopping the biomass and the formation, the change of the candida from the cell form to
the high [inaudible 00:01:43] form or the spore form. It's extremely powerful compound, carvacrol.
It's why we've put it obviously in Candida Remove. But I've often spoken about the Mediterranean
and about how for a thousand years plus, people have used thyme and sage and basil,
but more importantly, oregano and thyme were used a lot with meat. Think about that for a
minute. They were used a lot with meat. Okay? To stop, maybe not candida, but to stop bacteria,
to stop all kinds of microorganisms from really affecting that meat. Lots of foods were cooked
in the Mediterranean with oregano and thyme. It's very interesting that now science is
validating all of this. But why does it not develop resistance? It's a difficult question
to answer. Many plant compounds over time can, especially when they become highly refined and
synthesized, because many compounds now ... A lot of our drugs come from plants. We know
that or synthetic compounds, basically copied from nature. But when we look at nature and we look at
a compound like oregano, it's a very complicated plant, essential oil. It's a complicated
substance. There are many, many, many different chemicals in this, and this is why it doesn't
develop resistance. Because it's attacking yeast on many different levels at the same time.
It's a bit like if you've got a gun, a guy coming towards you, and you've only got a
little handgun, like a little, I don't know, a Glock or something, whatever you call them,
and you go boom, boom. You miss the guy. But now imagine pulling out 20
different weapons all at the same time. Rocket launchers, grenades, nerve gas,
flame throwers. You're throwing everything at that guy. You think he's still going to come towards
you? He's gone. He's history. That's what oregano does. It's got multiple novel mechanisms on how it
attacks candida from multiple fronts. It actually destroys the endoplasmic reticulum of the cell,
okay, of different types of bacteria as well. It has an antibacterial effect.
It basically stuffs yeast up. It stops it from really maturing or growing. It kneecaps it.
But it also works on other areas of the cell of candida as well. It weakens the cell membrane,
so it stops the bio formation. It stops the mass from growing. It inhibits reproduction of yeast.
It does it in many ways, so it's a very clever compound. And man, with his stupid white coat and
stethoscope, thinks he can improve on nature. He can never improve on nature. No drugs come
near the potency of oregano. I'm pleased for that because nature wins. It always will, always has.
Thanks for tuning in. It's Eric Bakker again,
