Yeast die-off/was: Purge...

[Guest guest]

I know it seems hard to believe when you are going through it but die off is

really a great sign. It

means your child will be helped tremendously by the Nizoral or Diflucan. The

die off usually

occurs a week to two weeks after starting Nizoral or Diflucan. As the yeast

is being killed off, it can kick up some severe reactions before

exiting the body.

My son is now seventeen. He just got his score back on the ACT and is in the

98th percentile. That means there is only 2 percent of the kids in the country

that scored higher than him. When I think back to the days of die off and

bizarre behavior I never would have believed this possible. He used to be so

Autistic and I thought he would never be " normal. "

During die off your child's Autistic behaviors will increase ten fold. If it

gets really bad,

give him some Tylenol or activated charcoal (can get at the pharmacy without

a prescription). But be careful when you give the activated charcoal

because in addition to absorbing the yeast it will absorb medicines. Don't

give it shortly after medicines.

Die-off doesn't usually last more than a week but can be as long as ten

days. But when you are done you will see a new kid. More focused and

alert. You will be amazed by the change in your child. So hang on when it

happens. Soon

it will be wonderful! The hyper,silly, and drunken behavior start to go

away. Now they can learn to stop pinching or biting. (Or whatever your

child does. The behaviors that make you crazy are now possible to get rid

of with teaching.)

I tried the pills myself just to see what it was like. You feel like PMS

times twenty. During die off we didn't do any thing complicated. We hung

out, watched videos and chilled out. We also did a lot of swimming. (For some

reason that always helped my kid.)

Die off wasn't a time I would try to teach new things. I even stopped the

therapies was getting during die off and sometimes when it was bad didn't

send him to school. They feel sick. Tylenol helps

along with doing things they find relaxing like favorite music videos. If

it is really bad, call Dr. G. He may tell you to either increase or

decrease the dosage. As they get better each die off gets less and less.

The medicines that are working so well now need to be changed about every six

months so they continue to work. That means going through die off again. But

in time the die off becomes very minimal. Hang in there and remember when you

are going through die off it truly is a wonderful sign your child will get

better.

P.S. In my opinion (not a medical one) don't bother washing off the dyes on the

pills. Even if they do react to the dyes as they get better, this is no longer

a concern. Our lives are crazy enough so don't sweat the small stuff and

concentrate on the big picture. Don't waste precious time on the things that

take too much time. Instead spend that time teaching and working with your

child.
