Don’t Be Fooled By These 5 Gut Health Myths

Even smart people can be duped into believing myths about gut health. Here are seven of the most common misunderstandings about the GI tract that I’ve encountered during my years of practice.

1. Many people believe that gut problems are primarily caused by food. Nothing can be further from the truth. I’ve seen many clients who have terrible diets and excellent gut health. I’ve also seen people with amazingly healthy diets who have terrible gut problems.

For many clients, a high-stress lifestyle overrides a healthy diet. If you’re unhappy in life, I don’t care what kind of food you eat; you need to get things sorted.

2. Eating clean doesn’t guarantee good gut health. I’ve seen people eat incredibly clean and yet continue to have gut problems. Eating clean sometimes involve being extremely rigid about food choices. My point is that limiting yourself to four types of quinoa, three types of legumes, and two types of green drinks is often not the answer. A diverse diet that isn’t sterile helps generate a diverse gut flora.

You don’t need to eat super clean to have super good gut health. In fact, ou need bacteria to keep your gut in good shape,

3. Carbohydrates are not the demons they are made out to be. With the ketogenic diet being the rage right now, many people are eating more protein and fat at the expense of healthy carbs. The common symptom I’ve seen in my ketogenic clients is fatigue. Once you take bananas, most fruits, many vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and whole grains out of your diet, your fiber intake plummets.

Of course, there is no harm in avoiding carbs like white bread, candy, and French fries. But sweet potatoes are a darn good food.

4. Many people claim that the ketogenic diet is the best way to lose weight. I strongly beg to differ. You don’t need a ketogenic diet to lose weight; you need common sense. Eat the right kind of food and avoid the wrong kind.

I had many clients over the year who lost weight and kept it off by changing their diet and their lifestyle. With time, their gut improved so much, it finally starting to give them the right signals. The donut in the office kitchen no longer tempted them.

5. Writing off supplements as a waste of time is a mistake. I hear people say “food cures all,” and “food is medicine, medicine is food.’ Yet, when your gut is in a terrible place, sometimes supplements make all the difference in the world. I’ve had many clients who tried to get better by following a healthy diet. They weren’t able to achieve gut health until they incorporated an antimicrobial like CanXida Remove into their supplement regime.

Once they cleaned up the bad bacteria, they added some probiotics and enzymes into the mix, and that kick-started their gut back to health. CanXida Restore is a very effective mix of probiotics and digestive enzymes.

Following a healthy diet is essential for the long-term. But sometimes you need some short-term help from supplements.

Using Periodic Detoxification To Optimize Gut Health

Periodically detoxifying and resting the GI tract are essential steps to take if you want to build up your gut’s health. I often get comments regarding my formula, CanXida Restore. People complain that their gut can’t tolerate the product, or that they are getting a Herxheimer reaction.

So, let talk a little bit about what happens if you’re gut is in a state of disarray. For example, how will your gut react to probiotics if you have low levels of beneficial bacteria and little enzyme production. You’ve started to change your diet and want to give the gut a rest. Maybe there is some toxin build-up in the gut.

You starting taking a probiotics like CanXida Restore and suddenly you’re getting side effects. In that situation, it pays to back off on the probiotics. There is likely a considerable amount of endotoxin build up in the gut. The gut may be permeable and secretory IgA levels are often low. When you add a probiotic to the mix, there is increased production of acetic and lactic acid. Lymphocytes are stimulated, antibody production is ramped up, and cytokine levels increase. Cytokines can, in turn, cause uncomfortable signs and symptoms.

Further readings:

The solution is to back off. It’s also important to, every now and then, have a bit of a rest day for food. For example, every second or third Sunday you could cut back on eating and just have a bit of soup or a light meal. Eating like that gives your body a bit of a resting or cleansing.

This is often a good time to drink more water, rest, an go for a walk rather than exercising intensely. You’ll find that your gut will be in a lot better shape than if you keep pummeling it with food and supplements, without any downtime. Make your changes very slowly and carefully. Plateau or back off if side effects become a problem.

Remember, that when you take a good probiotic like CanXida Restore, particularly if it also contains enzymes, you may get side effects. The side effects should only last a few days, particularly if you back off for a bit. If you have a poorly functioning GI tract, sometimes you have to tolerate a little bit of discomfort to break through to a higher level of gut health.

The Best Way To Use The CanXida Line Of Products

When people ask me about how best to use CanXida to treat a Candida infection, I always want to confirm that the diagnosis is correct. Many times I have had people swear up and down that they are struggling with a yeast infection, only to have their comprehensive stool analysis (CSA) come back completely negative for Candida.

I think it’s a good idea to do a CSA before starting, or at least early in, treatment with CanXida. That way, you know what you’re dealing with and can monitor treatment response over time.

One of the nice things about the CanXida products is that you don’t have to take 10, 20, or 30 supplements to get everything you need. I’ve designed CanXida to contain all that you need in a few pills.

I’ve had clients take CanXida, who still needed a bit more customized treatment for vaginal thrush. In those cases, I suggest watching my videos on boric acid for vaginal Candida. If you still have a cycle, the best time to do the boric acid treatment is as you’re coming into having that cycle. Apply the boric acid solution when the period starts or when the irritation starts.

Further readings:

But if there’s no irritation there and you’re postmenopausal, I would say treat it probably one week out of four. The best time to undertake boric acid treatment is when you are taking CanXida. CanXida provides an excellent boost to your immune response. It makes sense to address the vaginal area when you’re cleaning up your gut.

If you aren’t able to get the CSA done, find the Symptom Tracker page in my Candida Crusher pdf. Print off that page and start rating your symptoms from 1 (mild) to 10 (severe) while remembering to record the date. Next, start on the CanXida line of products. Every two weeks after beginning CanXida, rate your symptoms again. That way, you can see how you’re progressing in response to treatment.

My standard recommendation is to start with one CanXida Remove tablet per day with the main meal. Also, take one CanXida Restore at breakfast or bedtime. Add in one tablet of CanXida Rebuild, but don’t take it with any other the other CanXida products.

Follow that protocol for about a week and then increase to two doses each of Remove and Restore and keep Rebuild at one daily dose. If your symptoms are relatively mild, I’d stick with that plan for the remaining weeks.

Don’t make your dosages too high. It’s better to take the slow and I tend to do a shorter treatment with a high dosage in people who have one or two very strong symptoms, and they’re looking for a breakthrough. Sometimes I do ridiculously high dosages with people for very specific reasons. Other times, I recommend a very long, slow road – break a tablet in half and maybe go for six months.

When you’re taking CanXida, make sure your diet is impeccable. Monitor your bowel movements, digestive comfort, your bloating, and any other sites of infection. Tweak your doses as required.

Questions & Answers

Cleaning Your Gut With Canxida Remove

I’ve been asked before if CanXida Remove is effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

My answer to that is to not view CanXida Remove as a product that specifically targets certain organisms.

CanXida Remove is a cleansing product designed to balance the gut. It works very effectively against high populations of yeast and dysbiotic bacteria. Fortunately, after assessing hundreds of stool tests, I have seen no evidence that CanXida Remove destroys beneficial bacteria CanXida Remove cleans the gut up, but it doesn’t specifically target MRSA.

The gut becomes stronger and more resilient in response to CanXida Remove. The product strengthens and stabilized all aspects of gut function while improving the beneficial bacteria count. It also reduces inflammation and ensures that digestive enzymes are working properly.

Further readings:

How can you monitor the effects of CanXida Remove? By getting a stool test before you start treatment and then again after about three months. By comparing the before and after stool tests, you can get a sense of what CanXida Remove has done. Stool tests will also give you a measure of MRSA levels. To my mind, a comprehensive stool analysis is a way of making sure you don’t miss the forest for the trees.

By improving your gut overall, CanXida Remove makes it much harder for pathogenic bacteria, like MRSA, to get a foothold in your gut. It wouldn’t surprise me if the end result was that MRSA disappeared altogether.

If you look at some of the components included in CanXida Remove, such as the standardized allicin from garlic, it’s been shown that bacteria don’t become resistant to these compounds. This is one of the reasons I created CanXida Remove. I am very familiar with the problems caused by antibiotic resistance.

The take-home message from me is that CanXida Remove doesn’t target MRSA directly. But it does help create a gut that is more impervious to colonization by harmful bacteria.

How to Get the Most Benefit from the CanXida Line of Products

The CanXida products are designed to be used together to achieve excellent gut health. There is a specific protocol that I have used successfully with many clients. The protocol should be customized for your specific needs, but it a good starting point for most people.

CanXida Remove is normally taken twice per day. Some people take it once for a longer period, and some you take it three times a day for a shorter period. I usually suggest that people take it at breakfast and at dinner.

CanXida Restore is a capsule. I usually recommend that you take one at breakfast with your meal. If you need two doses a day, take the second capsule before bed, removed from any meal or snack. If you have significant problems with Candida, constipation, or diarrhea, you can take Restore at breakfast, lunch, and dinner for four to six weeks.

Further readings:

If Candida, severe constipation, or significant diarrhea means you need a higher dose, take a Remove capsule at breakfast, lunch, and supper. You can take it like that for four to six weeks. If you’re going to take CanXida Remove for the long-term, I suggest taking one tablet per day, or two if your GI problems are particularly chronic.

CanXida Rebuild is a multivitamin that should be taken once daily with food. The pill can be a bit big for some people, but it breaks up quite easily. I didn’t put lots of binders and fillers in this tablet because I wanted it to be extremely high-quality. It easily blends in with food and should be taken with a snack or a meal. If you are very unwell, you may benefit from taking two tablets of CanXida Rebuild daily.

There you have it; Remove, Restore, and Rebuild. They work very well together. Most people will take these products anywhere between one month up to about three to six months. I’ve got some patients who’ve been unwell for 15 to 20 years that have been on the CanXida products now for 18 months, and they’re still improving. It can take a long time to get better if you’ve been sick for a long, long time.
