PROGRAM 2- Secrets to Overcome Candida and Yeast- Donna Gates
Dr. Josh Axe- Interviewing Donna Gates
She introduced Stevia to USA. Helped with coconut kefir in our diets.
Yeast grows tentacles to intestinal lining and attach, then become systemic. Can be anywhere in body.
Sinus infection can be fungus.
Nystatin considered the safest drug. Don’t always work. Don’t last for getting rid of it totally. Monistat the same situation. Class of anti-fungal drugs not good.
Great Plains, Genova tests can test for yeast.
BC pills can be problem. “Absolutely”. Yeast feed off estrogen.
Antibiotics wipe out good bacteria in gut.
Autism babies she’s seen all born with yeast.
79 toxins released by yeast. Overwhelms immune system.
Yeast eats nutrients we need. Yeast is making oxalates. Plants have lots of oxalates. Oxalates is a protection for plants from insects.
Oxabaxter ?? (spelling) is in our body, but antibiotics kill them.
Some people have issues, born with it- forms kidney stones. Goes everywhere in body.
Get rid of oxalates, often causes fibromyalgia symptoms.
Too many oxalates can make someone go to bathroom a lot of times a day (pee).
Soy causes calcification in stomach- stalagtites.
Green tea high in oxalates.
Need to be- Sugar free, casin free, gluten free via diet.
B-6 and lysine good to take.
Vitamin C keep under 2,000 a day. IV drips are 50,000 Vit C- don’t need it.
Condroitin sulfate- good to take. Mag and calcium good.
Stay away from oxalates. Black pepper, rheubarb, dark chocolate, spinach, soy, peanuts, green teas.
Need raw food diet, kefir, fermented veggies
Yeast killers- Pau d arco tea good- Burburine- Oil of Oregano
Protein, plant foods, good
A lot of diversity- like in fermented veggies
Lacto bacillis Plantarium- produces folate, helps methalation also, degrades histamine (builds up in gut)
We produce methane in gut- byproduct arcaia is made, and takes our hydrogen and makes methane- causes gas, bloating and constipation.
Wild yam- rare- in Japan- shirataki is made from it. Clears toxins from gut. Few weeks reduces bloating, gas, and constipation.

Program 3- Public Health Perspective on Gut Health & Essential Oils- Dr. Eric Zielinski
Feeding low-dose antibiotics to animals makes problems worse- causing resistance.
Senate Committee and FDA passed bill to protect billion dollar business making problems worse
Long term infant outcomes- 48% increase in C-Sections in USA- higher in other countries (China 60%)
Autoimmune diseases have increased, etc. all connected to gut
Overly clean environment, especially in early childhood, contributes to development of SEVERE childhood diseases.
Our diets too clean.
Putting food in fridge cripples us- need more fermented food rather than fridge foods.
Most cells that make up our body are bacteria. 10 bacteria vs. 1 otherwise.
10,000 microbial species are what we are made of.
Researchers found good bacteria vital for life. Bacterial germs can substitute for each other. Not necessary to replace all.
Essential oils can help replace flora. Help solve the problems in animals.
More recently essentially oils keep pigs healthy- put in feed. (Studies)
Working together probiotics and essential oils.
Mint oils work well with probiotics. If dosage of oil is LOW- must be VERY low- it can kill bad stuff.
Together they oils and probiotics work well together. Synergic.
Eat dirt to keep gut eco-system. Soil based organisms. A natural vaccination.
Since all extinctive behaviors have a purpose- organisms coming from "putting everything in their mouth" - children- it is good.
Autoimmune diseases rises and cleanliness rises.
30 strains - lactobacillus, bifado, etc. known to help. Helps cure disease naturally. Essential oils help improve the synergy.
Essential oils antimicrobial. Kills bad bacteria. Heal acute and chronic infections.
DILUTED, diluted.
Applemint showed to help.
Thyme oil good and yarrow herb were most positive - beneficial- in chickens.
IBS- alteration of microbe in gut. Enteric coated peppermint very good.
6 drops 3 x day peppermint oil IN enteric coated capsules.
Lemon balm, coriander both good for IBS.
Geramium oil, Thymol dose VERY low dose. Good too.
Oils can be used by themselves and with other meds.
Chemo affects body badly, of course.
Not an all or nothing thing. Traditional and alternative - whatever floats YOUR boat.
Thyme and cinnamon oil reduces inflammation.
Fermented milk products.
When fermenting the food, don't use oils. Put in oils, like cinnamon, after, not in the process of making it.
Thyme and Rose at VERY low doses at killing pathogens. Start with ONE drop ONLY, see how body responds. Go slow. Best doctor in world is YOUR body.
GREAT oil- cardamom oil. Can be remedy for various conditions, increases bile production. Anti-Spasmodic in animals- produces pain relief.
MVP- peppermint for most conditions. Contains compounds to help tummy muscles relax.
1 drop of peppermint mixed in several drops of organic coconut oil rubbed on tummy helps.
Aromatic good too. Diffuse peppermint.
Clove is good for intestinal lining. Treats yeast.
Clove oil drop in wild honey.
Tea-tree oil and oregano good- natures antibiotics.
Tarragon- stimulates intestines and increases juices (biles and acids) in mouth and stomach to increase appetite. Helps everything "move". Use instead of laxative.
Make your own- Digestive oil blend- peppermint, anise, tarragon, ginger, fennel, caraway, coriander. Use orange, lemon if wanted, add to coconut oil and rub on tummy.
Immune blend- clove, orange, cinnamon, rosemary, eucalyptus.
Frankincense oil good.
