Is Genetic Testing Relevant To Candida Infections?

I don’t recommend genetic testing as part of a Candida work-up. Although genetic testing has its uses, it’s still in its infancy. Looking at SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) or small pieces of DNA only gives us one part of the puzzle. Although scientists have mapped out the whole genome, tests can’t yet identify the genes linked to most diseases and health conditions.

Genetic testing only gives you part of the information that is relevant to your health. It doesn’t speak to your lifestyle or your habits. For example, your genes may indicate a low risk of lung cancer, but what if you are smoking 30 to 40 cigarettes a day while living a stressful life? Now, you may very well be a sitting duck for cancer.

There is also evidence that genes are in constant flux. They are influenced by a host of emotional and physical factors. Humans are incredibly complicated beings with genetics that are not static. Our genes are influenced both by factors we can control and by factors that are outside of our control.

Get genetic testing done if it suits you, but genetic testing is not for me. I’m glad I’m not living in a time where everything is governed by gene testing. I can see that coming, years from now.

At present, I can’t see genetic testing being relevant to Candida infections. I consider Candida overgrowth to be very much lifestyle-based. The stronger your body, the more it can resist Candida, bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections.

Remember one of my favorite sayings, “People don’t decide on their future, they decide on their habits. The habits will decide on the future for that person.” Try to cultivate good habits in your life and throw the gene testing in the bin. That’s my 10 cents worth.

Gastrointestinal Worms: What Is The Impact Of CanXida Remove?

CanXida Remove is definitely of value to clients who have gastrointestinal worms. CanXida Remove has several active ingredients, including black walnut, betaine, cloves, and neem. The black walnut is a high-grade European black walnut. Some of the ingredients help break down the protein coating of different worms and parasites. We’ve had excellent reports of worm elimination from CanXida Remove from several people now.

There are many ingredients in CanXida Remove that have a fantastic effect on a wide range of worms in the body, including roundworms and hookworms. I’m sure CanXida Remove would have a positive impact on tapeworms as well. Remember that CanXida Remove has many different ingredients that help improve the acidity of the stomach. A more acidic stomach makes it more difficult for harmful bugs to live in the small intestine. CanXida Remove also upregulates the immune system, which will make your body better equipped to battle parasites and worms. All CanXida products have multiple mechanisms of action.

If you’re going to use CanXida Remove, you should combine it with CanXida Restore. These two products were designed to work together, synergistically. CanXida Restore contains digestive enzymes and probiotics.

Make sure you are confident that you have worms before you start treatment. Often people will convince themselves they have an infection, only to discover later that they had nothing of the sort. I suggest using a comprehensive stool analysis to determine if worms are present in your digestive tract.

If you have worms, I recommend taking three capsules of both CanXida Remove and CanXida Restore each day. Take the capsules with food to optimize the absorption of the supplements.

Questions & Answers

Why Do You Include Dicalcium Phosphate, Magnesium Stearate, And Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose In Your Canxida Products?

I’ve been asked before if some of the ingredients in CanXida such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), dicalcium phosphate and magnesium stearate can be removed or replaced by alternative ingredients.

My answer is that they could but there is no point. To explain further about the excipient (inactive) ingredients in CanXida, dicalcium phosphate is very commonly used in the production of all sorts of dietary supplements. Basically, it’s an odor remover so it sanitizes the product and gives the container a nice, fresh smell. It is not going to cause you any harm. Chances are that you already eat some dicalcium phosphate in the foods that you eat. It is interesting to me that people will get so concerned about excipients but won’t think twice about being on their mobile phones for ½ an hour at a time. They aren’t bothered by the fumes from their car as they drive with the windows closed. Other people will readily drink water with fluoride and chlorine in it, or down a can of soda pop, but then get worried about magnesium stearate. To me, it’s a matter of focusing on tiny details while missing the bigger picture. My suggestion is to not get preoccupied with a few ingredients in a supplement.

With regards to magnesium stearate, there has been a lot of misinformation about this ingredient. It is not true that magnesium stearate is toxic or indigestible. Magnesium stearate is stearic acid, a fat commonly found in coconut oil. It’s also found in chocolate and cocoa. It’s found in many different meats like beef and chicken. It’s likely that you already have magnesium stearate in your diet. Magnesium stearate helps to hold a tablet together. A normal healthy person will have no problems breaking down this long-chain fatty acid. However, if you have serious hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer or pancreatic cancer, or if you drink a lot of alcohol, you may have a problem with magnesium stearate.

Further readings:

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is also very harmless. HPMC is a plant fiber, usually derived from pine trees, that is easily broken down in the gut. We use HPMC to make sure the CanXida products don’t break down too quickly in the body. In other words, HPMC sustains the delivery of the CanXida product.

CanXida has been used by many people and there have been no reported deaths or suicides. I am confident that all the ingredients in the CanXida range of products are safe.

Nasopharyngeal Mucus: Is It Increased By Candida?

Catarrh is the build-up of mucus in the nose and throat. Given the wide range of symptoms that can be associated with Candida, it is not surprising that clients have asked me if Candida is associated with catarrh. There are many reasons why people can develop nasal pharyngeal symptoms. The nasopharyngeal area is lined with mucous membranes. The mucus membranes trap particles that enter the nose or mouth. A certain amount of mucus in the area is expected.

If you’ve got too much mucous secretion, there could be an irritant. It could be due to a food allergy. In many cases, I have seen salicylate sensitivities in people with ongoing nasal pharyngeal problems. Salicylates are chemicals made by many different plants to defend against toxins and insects.

Salicylates can cause nasal polyps or nasal pharyngeal problems. Food allergies are very, very common in people who have too much nasopharyngeal mucus. This is particularly true if a person’s got leaky gut syndrome or has taken prescription antibiotics. In those situations, it is essential to get checked out for food allergies. The common allergens we look at with nasopharyngeal mucus are dairy products, cow’s milk, in particular. Other common allergens in this situation are wheat gluten and, less commonly, bananas, pineapple, chocolate, oranges, cheese, and eggs.

All types of sugar can cause mucus problems. Mucus is an excellent trap for bacteria, pollen, viruses, and other “invaders.” Once lodged in the mucus, the foreign object can trigger an immune response. The immune response can lead to inflammation, pain, swelling, and discharge.

Further readings:

There’s also a condition called AFS, allergen fungal sinusitis. Some experts believe up to 90 percent plus of severe nasopharyngeal catarrh is due to a yeast infection. The yeast can be Candida, but also Aspergillus, Botrytis, and other fungi.

The short answer is that Candida can be related to nasopharyngeal symptoms, including excessive mucus. However, other yeasts are a more likely explanation.

I would treat nasopharyngeal symptoms the same as I would any other type of Candida or SIBO (small intestinal bowel overgrowth) problem. I’d be looking at diet. I’d be looking at lifestyle. I’d also consider adding antimicrobials, probiotics, and digestive enzymes to your daily routine.

Questions & Answers

Good Research Isn’t Cheap: Explaining The Price Of CanXida Supplements

On occasion, I will get questions about the cost of the CanXida line of product. People will let me know that they can get supplement X, Y, or Z, for much less. Well, I’m happy to explain why CanXida costs what it does. In my mind, the CanXida products are an investment and not an expensive one, given all the possible benefits.

To understand the cost of CanXida supplements, you need to think of the story behind the products, the purposes they were designed for, and how they were made.

After over thirty years of clinical practice, I had become disillusioned by other product lines. Some of the products were effective but only for some clients. Others worked very little. I realized that something wasn’t right with the products my clients were using.

The CanXida line of products arose from the clinical experience I gained by seeing tens of thousands of people.

Further readings:

I knew that I wanted my clients to have excellent outcomes from CanXida. I also didn’t want them using more than three or four products. I’ve seen clients taking upwards of 30 different supplements a day. I don’t think that’s sustainable, and it’s a waste of money in my view.

The digestive system is the foundation of a person’s well being. It’s the concrete slab. By improving gut health, you will improve all other areas of health.

Ultimately the products we designed have a systemic effect on the gut. The CanXida products improve the functioning of the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intestine. The line of products has a broad spectrum of action. The ingredients found in CanXida have been carefully selected to ensure they work synergistically, rather than overpowering or canceling each other out.

As for the price, the CanXida formulations are the result of clinical observations made over twenty years. There was also extensive research and development involved with launching CanXida. I’ve also made sure that the products are formulated using the highest-quality non-GMO raw materials available, and that they are manufactured by a very reputable factory. If you add it all up: the travel costs, the time costs, the research costs, the cost of the six months free trials we provided before marketing the product, employee costs, and laboratory costs.

Ultimately, creating CanXida required a big investment of time and money over the years. There is also a lot of passion, drive, and commitment behind CanXida because I believe strongly in helping those struggling with Candida or other forms of intestinal dysbiosis. Fortunately, we have had great feedback about the effectiveness of CanXida Remove, Restore, and Rebuild. It has been very gratifying.
