Hi there! Eric Bakker from New Zealand, the naturopath who wrote the book Candida Crusher. Thanks for coming back and thanks for looking at my channel. Hopefully, if you watch some of my videos, you may subscribe then you too can post different questions to me. I've got a question here from a guy called Alex. Now this is an interesting one. I'm going to read this out to you. It's a little bit of a read, but I think you'll appreciate this one.

"Hi, Eric. First of all, I'd like to thank you for your great work. I've watched many of your videos and seen your website and you seem like a genuine person who really wants to help people. I must say I'm very confused as to what to do regarding my health. I've had some health issues for many years now I could not ignore it for a long time, but new symptoms have sprung up and I feel some action is needed. It seems like candida could be the culprit. I have severe bloating, acne, brain fog, concentration issues, and eye floaters.

However, a highly respected people in medicine say that candida overgrowth is not a real issue and then he puts different URLs for me to click onto look at. What do you say about this, Eric? I don't know who is right. I don't think that you are a sham or trying to trick people, but I'm still not convinced candida is a real problem. There are many red flags I see. For example, the fact that the list of symptoms from this thing is so long that you can basically find any one.

But let's just say that candida is a real issue, changing my eating habits and taking specific supplements for a long period of time is a big investment to make. I would gladly devote time and energy into something like this if I actually knew I had candida. But I don't know. To go to a practice that can test for this stuff would cost me at least 700 euros. I don't mind spending money for the sake of my health, but it's too much money to gamble on disease that maybe is real and that maybe I have. Can you see the issue? What can be done in this situation? Thanks for your attention. Regards, Alex."

I like this guy, because this is exactly what I was like when I was a young guy. When I was in my 20s I got very sick. I lived by myself for several years. I had a shift working job. I used to work in a flour mill rotating shifts. I lived in this cold house, damp. In wintertime, I used to get a couple of inches of water in my bedroom, the walls all had a black mold growing on them. I had no idea about those things in my early 20s. I got very sick. Yeah, I went to my doctor and he said, "You've got depression, you've got anxiety, or both, infections, you've got all of these diseases, and you need all these pills." So, of course, I was stupid young and dumb, I took all these pills and then I just went into a hole.

A naturopath I met in a garage sale talked to me and said, "I think you've got a candida problem." Of course, there was no internet back then so I couldn't really look things up. I started to read books and I thought this makes sense. My doctor said, "The woman's a fool. There is no such thing as candida. You haven't got a vagina.

How can you have candida? You're not a woman. Only women get candida infections."

I hope that answers your question, Alex. Yeah, do the test and let's see what comes out of it. Thanks for the question.
