This is the first video in a series of the five main key indicators of Candida. The focus of this series are 5 Key Indicators of a Candida overgrowth. Be sure to watch the other four videos in this series!

Greetings, Eric Bakker, naturopath from New Zealand. Thanks for checking out my video. I'm gonna be doing a series of five videos right now, which I call the key indicative videos. 

So when you look at these videos I'd like you to look at all five of these cause these are five particular topics, which are gonna show you if you are really predisposed towards Candida. 

How big that problem is. So when you check these videos out you're going to get a good feeling whether you really have an issue with Candida or bacteria or parasites or bugs like we see in general. So the five videos are basically going to be ... 

We are going to look at past medications and treatment history that's one, multiple positive symptoms matches is two, food cravings is three, digestive conditions is four, and emotional, mental and physical warning signs will be five. 

So this is the first video, and we are going to focus on past medication and treatment history. So if you are watching this video right now, and you think you really have got a problem with Candida or bacteria or other type of gut issues or stomach issues, I want you to think carefully about the past kind of treatments that you've had generally from a medical practitioner. 

Have you been involved in taking medications short term or long term particularly if you've noticed when you took the medications you started developing problems thereafter requiring either more medications or developing symptoms, which require more medications, etc.

That's A, and B did you have any hospital stay? Was it a short stay or a prolonged stay? Did you have any complications in hospital or when you came out of hospital? Have you not felt right since you left hospital? These very powerful key indicator. 

So let's look at some of the common drugs. I have written about this in Candida Crusher, this is on page 54 of Candida Crusher. Most common Western medicine risk factors involved in yeast overgrowth, number 1 is medications.

Yes, that's right, medications in my opinion form one of the most important reasons why people get Candida and maintain this Candida condition for a long time. 

And of course the top of the tree, the broad spectrum antibiotic drugs. I can't tell you how many thousands of people I've seen over the years that have never been well since taking antibiotics.

And in some cases these antibiotic courses have ranged from a simple seven or ten days on say Penicillin up to six months plus! How crazy is that? So the broad spectrum antibiotics in my opinion are the number one cause, right up there in the top two or three causes I should say of Candida. 

Anti-ulcer drugs ... Taking drugs to block acid formation in the stomach. We call them Proton Pump Inhibitors or PPI's or acid blockers. These cause huge amounts of problems. 

They change the pH in the gut, they block acidity from occurring, this can allow bacteria to flourish in the area, this is gonna create a lot of problems downstream: bloating and gas and malabsorption and predisposes a person also towards a yeast infection. 

Colicky steroids and immunosuppression drugs this could be Prednisolone Tablets to swallow ... This could be ... you may have been in hospital and had a course of Dexamethasone or some kind of an intravenous steroid, a powerful one. You may also be using topical steroid cream to put on the skin. 

All of these drugs are designed to suppress immune function. When we suppress immunity, we increase susceptibility of getting sick. 

Diabetes drugs ... There are many types of diabetes drugs and often they will manipulate or influence insulin levels in the body. When you start playing around with these you are a sitting duck for a yeast infection. Many people with diabetes on medications end up with Candida infections....
