Greetings! Eric Bakker, New Zealand naturopath. Author of Candida Crusher, formulator of the CanXida range of dietary supplements. Thanks again for looking at my video. I've got a question here from a young guy called Nick who lives in Sydney, Australia, and Nick's saying, "Eric, where does Candida live in the body?" 

Well, Nick, my reply to you is where do you live? You live probably in a house. You probably live in a house because it's comfortable there. Because you've got easy access to food. Because you've got shelter. Because it's warm. It's cozy. Protects you from winds, protects you from all sorts of stuff. Well, yeast is the same. Yeast likes to be cozy. Likes to be kept warm. Loves a food supply. 

That's what it does, and it's the same when you think of in your body where are the nice warm cozy places with a lot of food? The digestive system. The small bowel, the large bowel, especially are really good places for Candida to hang out. But Candida can also hangout in the private areas, the personal areas around the scrotum, the penis, in the vaginal area, or in the skins and folds around there. Yeasts can also live, for example, under the breasts if it gets quite warm there in the folds and creases of the skin. 

We get these ads in New Zealand in summertime promoting these kind of anti-fungal powders and creams that bigger people can apply to their body when they perspire a lot because yeasts will like to live in the creases and folds of the skin. Look at a baby with diaper rash. A baby's got little nice puffy fatty legs and they can get perspiration and sweat around those areas. Yeasts thrive in these conditions and they love these sort of areas. Yeasts love living under fingernails, under toenails. 

I've seen people with bad yeast infections that wear boots all the time-big rubber boots that work on dairy farms. I've seen plenty of that. I've seen yeasts in people that work in meat works, de-boning meat. Or in packing sheds who wear gloves all the time. They can get fungal infections. These are all great habitats for yeast because these are shelters. They're dark. They're warm. They're moist. So this is where yeasts like to live. Yeasts don't like sun. They don't like dryness. It loves moisture. It loves heat. It loves sugar. That's really where yeast loves to live in the gut. Also, it could live in the ear canal. It can live in different parts around the neck. There are many places yeasts can live. 

So, the best way to get rid of yeast is to understand A: if you've got the condition and B: is to try and make it inhospitable or take the food source away from the yeast, and C: try and take something like my CanXida products, which are going to be anti-fungal and help to really get rid of this kind of condition and help to get the beneficial bacteria back. So, this is a good way to get rid of it. I've made plenty of videos on this channel for people just like you, Nick, to see how you can eradicate a Candida imbalance in the body. 

So I hope that answers your question about where Candida lives in the body. It lives where it likes to live. It likes food. It likes moisture. It likes warmth. It also likes darkness. Those are the key areas. Click on the link below if you haven't already got my report, and thanks for tuning in. Please subscribe. Appreciate it. Thank you.
