Find out if fecal transplant can cause chronic candida yeast infection overgrowth or not.

Greetings. New Zealand naturopath, Eric Bakker. I'm the author of Candida Crusher and I'm also the formulator of a range of products called Canxida. Thanks for checking out my video. A question here from a person called Tetrid Monafa in Kenya. I'm not sure if Tetrid is male or female, but I'll just use the word Tetrid. Tetrid is asking me if fecal transplants can cause chronic Candida. That's the question, "Can fecal transplant cause chronic Candida?"

I'll tell you a little bit about fecal transplants. I had the good fortune a few years ago to be in Sydney at a function, I had dinner with Dr. Tom Borody, and in fact a few doctors that were there. And I remember speaking about fecal transplants and Tom's clinic was the one, in fact, that pioneered fecal transplants. Back in the mid-1980s Tom worked with patients, I think it might have been with clostridium difficile with a particular infection and trialed this method, which has become highly successful. The Center for Digestive Diseases is a world famous clinic. The top people from all around the world with many chronic digestive problems. 

They've got some incredibly passionate and talented doctors that work in this clinic. One of the doctors I spoke with said to me that when they first did the fecal transplants, they put a lot of people through the program and they had a pilot project with about 10 or 15 patients. The procedure worked very, very well. But the doctor said in nearly all cases, the patients would come back within 8 to 12 months with the same problem. The treatment was a success, but the long-term outcome failed because the patient didn't stay with the right kind of protocol, lifestyle, and diet to maintain digestive wellness. 

That's not what the video is about. The video is can fecal transplants cause chronic Candida. It can't really cause chronic Candida. What it can do, though, is change the gut macrobiotic environment significantly. It can make you feel pretty darn good. And if you keep working on that wellness, you can really improve your health to a very high level.

The problem I have with fecal transplants is they don't really do anything for the small intestine because you're putting fecal matter from a healthy person into a person who's unwell. It's going to change the colonic environment, but it's pretty hard to get bugs past the ileocecal valve or the one-way valve linking the small intestine with the large intestine. This is why it's very important for the patient to make the right kind of dietary choices. Because you're putting all the good nourishment in from the top, which is going to influence everything down below. 

If you eat properly, have fermented and cultured foods, have the pre and probiotic foods that we've spoken about in videos, if you chew your foods properly, if you take a good probiotic for a period of time, particularly with some enzymes with it, if you every now and then take some antifungal/anti-bacterial supplement and some foods, you'll keep that gut environment clean. And that, in turn, will mean that you won't really get a chronic yeast infection to a very high degree, very high probability you won't. 

But I don't really see any clear link between fecal transplants and chronic Candida. I see a clear link between incredible wellness. In fact, one of my patients from London, a woman in her 20s, had an incredible outcome with fecal transplant. But it only lasted about three months unfortunately. And when we used probiotics on her long term, we got a fantastic outcome. 

Don't forget to check out my probiotic enzyme called Canxida Restore. You can see that at Canxida.com. Nice product to accompany a protocol like a fecal transplant. Thanks for tuning in, and Tetrid, I hope that answers your question.
