Is it possible for Candida to infect our gums and oral health? It is more likely to be a bacterial infection. Here's my take on it...

Greetings, Eric Bakker, naturopath from New Zealand. Thanks for coming back look at my video. I have a question here from a subscriber. Can candida live inside the gums? I have a stubborn fibral infection in the right side of my throat, and I'm wondering if the yeast infection I have also been battling has gone into my gums, so what can I do about these?

So, it doesn't really matter whether it's a bacterial infection or a fungal infection. There's more chance that it's going to be a bacterial infection because we have many more bacteria in our mouth than yeast, many more. So generally, when you talk to a dental hygienist, they'll talk to you about strep bacteria and different types of bacteria that live in and around the gum. It could be fungal, but fungal tends to be more on the tongue or on the inside so if it's of the mouth rather than inside the gum. 

If it's deep around the tooth and especially in the roots, it's probably going to be anaerobic kind of bacteria. So these are bacteria that don't need oxygen to survive. Now these can be quite tough to eradicate. Many people also that I see, have different forms of antibiotic resistant strep bacteria in their throat. I've seen this on many different tests. 

So what do you do? What do you do if you've got an infection in the gum? You need to go and definitely go and get a dental inspection done and go to a hygienist to see what she or he can offer in terms of, you know ... They'll often do a salivary test, or a breath test to look at the type of bacteria, and the level of bacteria you've got there or fungal if in the off chance it is a fungus. 

A couple of suggestions I have would be to rinse your throat because you're mentioning here right side of my throat, so I would recommend at least twice, if not three times a day a good gargle with about eight ounces of water, a couple of good swigs and gargles with a good quality sea salt and also a half of teaspoon of colloidal silver. So gargle at least twice, if not three times a day, preferably after meals. You're going to gargle the throat area. 

I've also recommended in the morning oil pulling. Get a tablespoon of oil, for example olive oil, some people use sesame oil, I prefer that and put that in your mouth on rising first thing, maybe unpleasant if you haven't done it before, but it's no big deal, swish it around the mouth for a good three or four minutes. So let's just say, I've got some green tea here. Well you're not going to swallow it but I just did. You need a good tablespoon, and you're really going to swish it around the mouth, and you're going to gargle a bit, swish it around for a good two or three minutes then you're going to spit in the waste paper basket and down the sink or go to the bathroom, get rid of it. 

Every morning, do that for about two weeks, you watch what happens, it's amazing. It acts like a magnet, it pulls all the bacteria into the oil and then you reject it. So it reduces the oral population of bacteria. Meanwhile, you're gargling, and you're cleansing the oral cavity and throat with water, tepid water with salt and colloidal silver. It'll neutralize and help to cleanse, and the oil pulling will reduce the population, clever combination.

Third tip - grapefruit seed extract, not grape seed, but grapefruit seed extract. Five drops in about a tablespoon of water. Again, swish that around your mouth like the oil pulling, swish, swish, swish, swish, all over the place, hold it a little gargle and then swish and then spit that out again, get rid of it. 

Information overload. I hope that was enough for you subscriber, thanks for the question. Click on my link below to get the free candida report if you haven't already done so, thanks.
