Re: Won't Perscribe Diflucan

[Guest guest]

No, Diflucan is not only for kids on Valtrex. DAN doctors have been giving rx antifungals for years to help treat yeast in addition to natural antifungals and dietary interventions. Pediatricians do not know or understand this. I commend you for trying to educate your pediatrician. I gave up long ago and found one w/a holistic slant. We don't discuss our interventions all that much - I only take my kids to him when they are very sick - but he respects our path and doesn't criticize an area he doesn't know much about. Best of all, he leaves the decision to vaccinate or not up to us w/no pressure.

Perscribe Diflucan

ringworm and said that we would like to

start diflucan as an antifungal. The pediatrician said that all kids get

Can you find a DAN! doctor instead of relying on your pediatrician?

Our pediatrician is clueless as well. I hate to generalize, but most

are. We just started working with a DAN! and it takes a lot of the

guesswork out of it. I know exactly what my little guy needs, or at l

least enough to get me started on the biomed. antibiotics for

clostridia, MB12 for methylation, antifungals, digestive enzymes.

We'll be busy implementing for quite a while and none of these are

things his pediatrician ever would have found need for. Trust your

instincts.

best of luck!

If your daughter has signs of yeast then she needs a

script for diflucan or another antifungal unless you

choose to use natural anti fungals. Signs of yeast are

waking at night, ithchiness, red ring around anus,

excess saliva/spitting, waking in the middle of the

night and ready to party, spaciness and the grouchies.

I would get a DAN doc ASAP. Your daughter is going to

need one to recover. Thre pediatricians just do not

get it. Some naturals to use till you find a DAN for

yeast are garlic, grapefruit seed extract, candex,

yeast aide (by kirkman labs). You also need to give

probiotics to replace the yeast or bacteria will grow.

You need to rotate 3 or 4 good probiotics. Go to

www.kirkmanlabs.com or www.klairelabs.com

Shena,

My son had chronic depression (and GI issues I didn't know about)and

was on tons of anxiety meds. The supplements helped the depression

lift and --bam!-- enter Diflucan and what a difference! Not even a

regression and his depression improved enormously. He is almost off

his meds. I also put him on Virastop to clear up viruses after about

a month. But I was surprised by how well Diflucan worked. I just hope

he doesn't regress when it is gone. We are using enzymes and

probiotics so I hope that helps.

We are on a year long wait list to see a DAN dr.

Until then we are going to see a ped who I hear does all DAN! protocol

except chelation, and we have the appt next month.

This is a really uneducated statement as it's not about a

" feminine " (vaginal) yeast infection that our children have issues

with but rather systemic yeast. When you start using words like

" yeast infection " with a reg. ped. this is the first thought any of

them generally have and it's really sad. I know they learn more

about yeast infections than that in med school - at least, you would

think they would.

I think we need to be cautious of semantics here as we don't really

give any antifungal just because they have autism. I know you know

that but I really think we all need to be more careful about how

things are said, especially when you think about how it comes across

to a medical professional that has *no* clue about autism. Just look

at how your ped reacted when she immediately assumed vaginal yeast

infection. We give antifungals because our children tend to have

yeast issues which aren't always just because they have autism. My

NT son has yeast issues. But no, it's not just for those taking

antivirals.

You should really try looking for a DAN or at the very least, an open

minded ND that takes your insurance.
