Should I after 1 year of abx continue for another 6 months to see if it helps? Should I increase dosage to 2X a day veruss just once a day or every other day? recenlty I have been doing it once a day. Some take totally different antibioitcs but I dont know if thats what I should be doing. I take doxy daily and zith every other day. Lastly, I have my liver enzymes tested but what about other tests? Other organs are affected by medicines, other organs also have to absorb it, so shouldn't I be having other tests? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi Vicki, I am taking Nizoral,generic name Ketoconazole, 200 mg. It seems to help. I had a fungus on my feet, sinus cavities and hands. I didn't know it but my AP doctor told me that what it was. I am also taking a good probiotic. My feet have almost healed, my nasal passage is another problem because of the moisture and my hands are also slow to get well, but I started in January so after about three years having that problem I think I am doing good Take care, stay well.

Just my experience, but I really don't like guessing because it stresses me out something awful. It makes me feel like I'm stumbling around in the dark. It's possible to test for fungal infections in the gut (mouth and vagina), test for food intolerances, sex hormone imbalances, thyroid deficiencies, adrenal fatigue, other infections, etc. Then, you can re-test to see if the measures you've taken actually worked. For example, when I did my first GI stool test awhile back, I had a bad fungal infection and not nearly enough good bacteria. After a few months of anti-fungals, diet change, and probiotics, it was so encouraging to see my follow-up test results and the improvements. I felt like what I was doing was working, and that I wasn't blindly throwing money & mental energy down the drain trying this and trying that. Of course, money and finding a helpful MD or other practitioner is always a challenge. I hope this helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I will try taking antibiotics 2X a day but thats hard since you cant take supplements at the same time. So is it okay if I take 200mg doxy once a day instead of 100mg twice a day? That would be easier for me. I thought I would increase before i quit completely to give the protocol one last try because appears that some take this amount. I also take Zithromax 2X a day. I wish I knew what tests will show if I have yeast or not too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It checked for many things, not only yeast. The test can be taken at home. It's a stool sample, which is Fed Ex'd overnight to the lab then. You can find a practitioner who might order the test for you at the Diagnos-Techs web site, at the " Providers " link to the left. http://www.diagnostechs.com/ There are other labs too, of course.
