Re: diflucan and facial flushing/Dr JM

[Guest guest]

So, Dr. JM, What are your thoughts about Diflucan killing fungi? Does it

kill, or keep it a bay?

to literally hundreds of kids and have had only one have an allergic-like

reaction. An allergy to diflucan would probably cause the flushing to be all

over his body and not just the face. Anything is possible with our kids,

however. Keep us posted. Dr. JM

My son just started on 50 mg diflucan one time per day, and I noticed that

his face was

flushed today. I went to the Diflucan site and saw that this is a

side-effect. When I had

facial flushing in reaction to an antibiotic once, my MD was concerned and

said it was a

serious side-effect, wanted me to stop the drug.

We have been on Valtrex for 5 months, and have seen yeasty behaviors arise

(although

DMSA didn't ever cause them, and we've used that for 2 years!) Also, he has

become less

social and his handwriting has gone WAY down hill. We have been on OLE and

Lauricidin

for about a year together (lauricidin for a few years). My son is 6 and was

never

vaccinated. I don't know what to do!

Also, just read this on the diflucan site: Fluconazole can not kill fungi

but it stops them

from spreading.

So what is the point of diflucan?

These things always happen on the weekend!

Thanks,

Concerned mom, Jill

It may not kill all of it, as yeast is part of the natural flora in the gut, but

in literally hundreds of cases over the years it has helped kids get it under

control and improve.  Stopping its proliferation allows the body's own

mechanisms to take over and work as they should to keep the gut in balance. 

Actually, any anti-fungal strong enough to kill all the yeast would kill a lot

of other good creatures and need to be given under supervision in the hospital -

used sometimes (not diflucan, but stronger anti-fungals) for those suffering

with advanced cancer and suffering with systemic yeast that can kill them

without drastic intervention.  DRASTIC R NOT US!!  Dr. JM
