What Causes White Tongue? – Dr.Berg on Oral Candidiasis

Take Dr. Berg’s Advanced Evaluation Quiz: http://bit.ly/EvalQuiz

hey guys Dr Berg here in this video we’re going to talk about white tongue okay this is really an overgrowth of candida the condition is called candidasis and basically candida normally is a friendly thing in your body you have 20 different strains of candida but this yeastlike structure this microbe can turn into a fungus um if you basically take antibiotics or steroids or birth control pills or insulin so normally in the body you have four 400 at least 400 different types of species of friendly bacteria friendly yeast friendly mold friendly fungus and then when you kill off um the good microb some of these bad guys can start over taking over and so what most people do they think that um they should avoid fermented foods because there’s lactic acid or there’s some fermentation there might be some yeast and they think that if I consume the friendly yeast it’s going to turn into bad yeast but really to correct this situation you need to build up your friendly Flora your friendly microbes your friendly yeast um and so that would be in some of these fermented vegetables like you have um like sauerkraut kimchi um Keir is a fermented uh product uh from milk um apple cider vinegar these are all very very essential to eventually get rid of this stuff now what happens when you have an imbalance of it’s called flora and in your digestive tract um if you add too much to this it can create a little bit of a reaction and that’s when people think that that’s a bad thing so they avoid all of it but what you want to do is you want to start off very very small and work up to it if you have no you don’t have a lot of good friendly bacteria and you dump a lot of probiotics into your system or friendly yeast you can stir up an immune reaction so I always like to go slow so you want to add these fermented foods slowly and of of course you’re going to have to avoid um like just milk in general any milk products unless it’s kefir okay and even then some people have a problem with the milk type issues but normally you should be fine the other thing you want to avoid is of course sugar because that’s going to feed this thing more than anything um now I like to instead of taking just a regular probiotic um there’s a thing called effective microbes and this effective microbes is a combination of a lot of friendly yeast and things that you can take to start not only building up your friendly bacteria but building up most of the other microbes in your system I’ll put a a link down below of where you can get it I I’m not associated with this company so um I’m not going to tell you what brand to get but I’ll just put some information to research effective microbes because I believe that they work a lot better and these effective microbes um you it’s almost like you don’t need to refrigerate them they last forever you take just a small amount and some water before bed and then they start growing in your system and to build back up your good yeast and bacteria so it can kill this off um it takes a bit of time and you go slow okay so I’ll put a link down there but I just wanted to mention uh like things like scraping the tongue trying to sterilize your body does not work it’s an inside problem you have to fix the overall uh balance of microbes and then eventually uh clear this out okay thanks for watching
