so recently I had a question from

someone that wanted to know what is the

difference between a yeast infection and

a candida infection and a fungus

infection there’s just a big confusion

on these terms so let’s just kind of go

through this yeast is a type of fungus

okay Candida is the most common type of

yeast infection

so basically Candida is a type of yeast

and you have like 20 different types of

Candida but it’s only the overgrowth

that becomes a problem or pathogenic

normally we need this yeast candida and

fungus in our digestive system and

around our body it’s part of the normal

flora or microbiome we don’t just have

friendly bacteria we have friendly east

from the candida and friendly fungus

okay

so the location of this candida

overgrowth can occur in the vaginal area

the mouth under the breast nail bed

armpits private parts

it likes areas that are moist so the

question is what creates this overgrowth

situation well you guessed it

antibiotics will do it sugar will do it

because candida and yeast live on sugar

it ferments certain types of sugar

steroids

stress will cause the overgrowth

estrogen will cause the overgrowth and

this is why women can get a yeast

infection during certain times of their

cycle and that’s where the side effects

of birth control pills and hormone

replacement therapy and so I just did a

video on this if you have estrogen

dominance iodine seek help is the best

remedy alright so now what do you do if

you have a yeast or Candida infection

well number one you want to increase the

stomach acid it’s very very important I

would recommend something called betaine

hydrochloride okay I’ll put the spelling

down below take that on a regular basis

outside of vinegar is also very

important you can get them in a tablet

form garlic essential start consuming

garlic in your food I’m not talking

about rubbing it on your body because it

can burn just to just consume it in your

food or take it as a supplement clove is

a good remedy for that as well find a

really good probiotic all right enhance

the probiotic the flora of your gut okay

and avoid the actual food that feeds

these microbes avoid all sugar of all

kinds all right
