Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

I'm going to talk about oral thrush, which is like a Candida type yeast, white tongue situation,

and a high-carb diet. Now, normally Candida, which is like this fungus, yeast,

structure, it lives inside your body, and it doesn't bother you unless you take an antibiotic

and kill off all the bacteria that are keeping this Candida in check. When you do that,

you throw things out of balance and you get an overgrowth of this yeast, and that's when you get

Candida, and if it's in the mouth, it's called thrush, and it's white tongue. But what's very

interesting, you can also develop this by consuming a lot of sugar, because guess what it

eats? Sugar, it ferments sugar, all type of sugar, milk sugar, table sugar, fruit toast,

even things that turn into sugar pretty quick, like refined grains, and starches. So any carbohydrate

that you can ferment can turn this somewhat neutral Candida into an unfriendly version of Candida.

And when it becomes unfriendly, they call it Candidiasis, and it can live in the vaginal area,

the skin, the throat, the mouth, and that's called thrush. It can grow in your esophagus,

it can live in your GI tract. People that are at risk for getting this oral thrush are people

that take steroids. People that are under on stress, because stress inhibits the immune system.

If someone has HIV, they're going to be at risk. If someone's taking birth control pills or

estrogen, they can be at risk, because too much estrogen can actually cause this situation as well.

And of course, if you're diabetic, because all this extra sugar is going to feed this

yeast-like Candida structure, and I already mentioned antibiotics. So if you have oral thrush,

one of the best remedies is grapefruit seed extract, not grape seed extract,

grapefruit seed extract. You just take 10 drops in about three tablespoons of water,
