🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 RN here, learning everything I possibly can to attempt to treat myself! I’ve gone the FM route and it helped, but I need to be an active participant and understand the how and why of everything. I’ve discovered a lot on my own & have some good data from the FM Dr I saw, but 2 plus months of treatment with diflucan and nystatin helped but didn’t cure my case of candida. It’s a lot better, but if I eat wheat or sugar it comes right back with a vengeance. I had sores in my mouth after wheat the last 2 times. I finally realized I just can’t eat it at all. Also I finally got off the PPI so that helped a lot. Baby steps! This is the most informative and in-depth lecture I’ve heard thus far after YEARS (10 plus) of trying to cure myself. A lot of people talk about candida but don’t give actionable steps to help heal the gut, etc, and of course the mainstream docs just think it’s not a big problem! I always tell them that if it was them that had it they would KNOW it existed as a problem beyond just a little vaginal infection or full blown sepsis.
We are SO happy you enjoyed the webinar!! Thank you for attending. We wish you the best with your gut health journey. Be Well!!!
What was your dosage of the diflucan and nystatin? And how long does your doctor want you to take it? Thank you 😊
Exactly the way Ibfeel
I5svto the pointbthatbmybhutnisvso messed up thetbI willmg9nforvweeisvat a time except every couple of days will force myself to eat crackers,a peice of cheese toast a snack cake and things like that
I have been miserable for so long but with other major illnesses, including auto immune disease
It has gotten so much worse this.past year
Haven't found a Dr who has been 68 y/o just released from hospice a few months ago and do not know what to do
I have an appointment with a GI Dr soon
Hire someone to help you. I'm just finding out I have this too.
Good presentation. Although you’ve missed out on the role of heavy metals and mercury in particular in Candida overgrowth.
So True - I have mercury poisoning due to ingestion from my amalgam fillings being removed. And now I have candida explosion along with giardia in my gut. It is destroyed. And now I don't know if I need to chelate first to get rid of the mercury or try and fix a chronically-wrecked gut then chelate. So confused.
CanXida guys have a lot of videos on that topic by Eric Bakker
Candida and other yeast infections do not get resolved as long as there is mercury in the person’s system. Chelation that is based on ACC protocol ( never do iv or take glutathione) works in the long run to stabilise Candida whilst repeating the body from other aliments.
@@bradleywiskowski8516I would do a little detox to get the mercury out. Are your pathways open?
She did mention it
I have had candida for years. I only had relief for maybe 8 months on an incredibly strict diet which was miserable. It actually led to an eating disorder which took years to heal from. I didn't have any history of eating disorders at any time in my life until then and proves we can have an eating disorder at any age. I can't afford to restrict my diet to that level ever again. I avoid grains, eat a lot of dark green leafy veg. I avoid potatoes or anything too starchy. No overly sweet fruits but I do eat some berries. I do eat meats and good fats. I have tried many antifungals and a beneficial yeast which is meant to crowd out candida, I won't even attempt to spell it. It just gave me more symptoms and I had to stop. I still have candida and at this stage of having it for over 20 years I worry that I just have to live with it.
dont worry i have the same since 2013 ups and downs same situation i have ,i thought im the only one take care
Have you tried moringa powder for candida?
@magsue3363- I have a bad smell coming from my nose because of this candida overgrowth. This is a nightmare. The only thing that helps is going on that terrible restrictive diet. Which, l don't want to be stuck on.
@Nicolee7764
I've always thought a bad smell coming from
the nose was chronic sinusitis. 🤔
Is it brought on by Candida overgrowth?
@tonyt8805 Yes, many things are caused by this candida overgrowth. Even high blood sugar. Look at Dr Berg's old videos about candida overgrowth and low stomach acid. I used to run miles on the treadmill. After l took antibiotics, they told me that my sugar was slightly elevated. Those antibiotics are complete misery.
A lot of this is in my case. I had h pylori,after eradication my yeast issues got worse. Didn't even know i had both
We're glad this presentation was helpful to you. We wish you the best of health!
how you get rid of h. pylori??
Same problem I have
I just treated for h pylori and after that problem get worse
@@Enoch000pau d arco, artemisia annua 20mg ppi in morning..for a month
Mercury impact methylation cycle and candida
The issue is that these doctors act like they don’t want to treat patients.

Great Presentation and the Title “Deconstructing Candida”, is a POWERFUL Title !!!
I noticed you mentioned bentintite clay. What are you thoughts on DE diatomaceous earth? Does it help get rid of or control candid?
Tough love you are and believable. Had to forgive many doctors to get me here. 1:03:03
Patients don’t FEEL GREAT… it’s day 75 for me and it’s still horrible. Telling physicians about the die off, aggravation seems very important. I don’t know a single person who’s gone through this that hasn’t struggled. So only exclaiming, “Your patients will FEEL GREAT!” feels fraudulent with the “eventually “ at the end.
We're sorry you aren't' feeling well. Everyone has a unique microbiome, and the gut health journey is different for everyone. Some people feel well sooner than others. Ultimately, healing the gut helps symptoms, and patient's feel better. We really hope your symptoms resolve, and you get to the other side soon!
are you using binders such as activated charcoal or diatemaceous earth to get the toxins out? if not, the toxins the dying candida release can get stuck circulating in your body. you can try broccoli sprouts, Quercetin & cordycep mushroom for detox relief.
Hello, very helpful, thank you :-) Could you clarify what enzymes are for brush border support? Any names specifically? I've been chelating mercury, doing gentle parasites cleanses, reducing body burden any way possible and slowly recovering. It sounds that Candida can only be truly normalized after the immune system is back online able to do its job properly.
Thanks for being so informative and insightful!! Happy Holidays!
Great video guys!
Thank you for watching.
Candida connected sulfur sensitivity makes the diet and the treatment even harder and nobody talks about it😔
Loved this so much! Great explanation of pretty much everything. When treating with SIBO - would this also be addressed using a similar protocol (if patient opted for a natural approach only aka no antibiotics).
Thank you for watching!
I am a student at Nutraphoria (health coach and soon holistic nutritionist) and would like to order an organic test for myself! Do I have to order through a practionner or I can do it myself? Thanks !
You know, it’s very frustrating. Every video I watch tells me the same thing and I’d have to be a total imbecile not to know it by now. They say cut carbs and especially sugar. I already know that is what I need to do and if I was able to do that one thing I could go far in improving my health and killing off the candida. But my sugar cravings are so bad I would rather have a cage match with mad max then give up my sweets. My question is if I treat the symptoms and kill off some of the candida will it give me enough will power to give up sweets. I used to do low carb and I still do IM and I continue to lose weight slowly but I know I have candida overgrowth because I just did a urine test and is says so in big bright red letters CANDIDA. People who don’t have sugar cravings just don’t understand. So easy to just say give up sugar. And our live are such that who can be in bed by 11. Can you please give some insight. I really liked all the specific info.
Same..My sugar cravings are INSANE..The only time I seem to be able to stick to a low sugar diet is when I’m under severe emotional stress that temporarily reduces my appetite..I don’t know what to do and no doctor that I know of in Ontario Canada will give me nystatin or fluconozole to help treat me because they refuse to acknowledge candida overgrowth 🤦♀️
I grew up on antibiotics so I believe that’s the cause..
oh my goodness, same boat here! I can will my way through it during the day, but for the past 10 months of my infection it has me waking up every 2 hours at night and I just give in. I feel so weak and powerless but it's like my entire body is screaming so loud that I cannot have a single rational thought! Sugar cravings and withdrawals are no joke. I was a smoker for 10 years and quit cold turkey, that was difficult, but nowhere near as challenging as beating sugar.
The only thing that has worked for me is changing the story I'm telling myself in the moment, taking away the emotion/stress/shame of the craving. Basically giving myself a motivational pep talk, like I would to a friend going through the same thing.
Good luck friend! You've got this!

Chromium picolinate to stop sugar cravings
@@marthagomez7335 do you take chrome picolnate , if so do you know a quality brand?
I’m struggling to find proper help with diagnosis but I am sure I have had candida for a long time and possibly h pylori. Was hoping I could get a consultation with you so I’ll try find out how to go about that 😆

Hi what if I don’t have H pylori..But have candida overgrowth????????can sibo be involved
Candid overgrowth can occur on its own or along with another pathogen. To get the full picture of what's going on in your gut, we suggest getting a GI-MAP test and working with a practitioner wo can tailor a protocol for you!
It seems people shows positive results on a carnivore diet. Do you have any thoughts there?
According to whom?

Terrific video
So happy you enjoyed it.
I love how you note on candida’s intelligence. I believe this is what I have, I’ve been watching how it acts and they literally attack so to speak when clipping off areas close by. They jump out of the area clipped and seems to instantly grow back. They also seem to jump off and then cling to areas that anything else that size and shape wouldn’t. If you lightly touch it with anything it also jumps away, perhaps it has some static electricity in it. My nails and skin around nails and now palms are effected as well as toe nails and skin around them and bottoms of feet. I feel I have it inside my body also, I have increasing brain fog and vag yeast infection more than usual. I’m wondering if this also has anything to do with my body being in debilitating pain when I wake up. Sleep and being immobile brings on pain so bad I can’t turn my body. Arms are effected. The back is where it starts then the more I’m not moving in sleep it creeps up to high back from lower then arms and hands. My stomach is also bloated a lot, weight gain and can’t lose it at all.
Thoughts?
Parasites. Look into nutritional response testing
I love the wording too.
Bitch you being profiled through stem cell. Neogh or did it to me after sexual assault saying it's Initiation! Someone had ringworm In the vaginally region. Profiling means hiding they sickness on you which you still can be affected. No cure!

Hi Dr Amy. Thanks for the wonderful presentation. Could you kindly mention the name of the tests that you presented in your case study? It’d be huge help. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I wonder if HYPERBARIC OXYGEN whelps also?
Candida doesn't get picked up in the GI MAP, but it does in the Great Plains OATS test. Why is this?
Hi, Thank you for your question. Here is the response from our Clinical Team: Candida is an organism that can be in the upper GI or elsewhere in the body. If it is in the colon/stool it will show up on GI-MAP. If it is in the body but not in the stool, it won't show up. Organic acid tests pick up metabolites for Candida and other fungi anywhere in the body.
Showed up in my gi map.
Have you tried larger doses of iodine?

How do you repair the gut lining?
no junk food! get L gutamine powder!
Fasting is the best way. Then prebiotics and probiotics.
Glycine helps and zinc-L-Carnosine. Celery juice I prepared each morning healed my gastritis. Bananas help. Eat celery only organic daily and peeled organic cucumbers. l-glutamine
When it produces ethanol internally cam that come out almost like drops or a small stream of colorless urine like discharge that comes out the vagina?
youre a dear doc
Can anyone recommend a clinic in the NYC area familiar with this issue?
