aspergillus-derived-candida

[Guest guest]

That is really helpful. Thanks.

Holli finished a month of Nystatin last week and now yeast is back in force

I think...asthma problems, ear problems, BM's slowed way down, rash on her

face. I am giving her Houston enzymes before meals and in between meals I

give her a half capsule of Candidase and Virastop mixed together. I am going

to try to head to the health food store today to see if I can make sense of

the herbal antifungals talked about on this list.

We learned the hard way that honey cannot be a part of her diet as long as

the yeast is so bad. I have been substituting with unsweetened apple butter

in baked goods and it's very good (but goopier so I must bake

longer-doesn't help that we use gelatin instead of egg)

Any other ideas out there...do we just need to hang in there until her

immune system is stronger (she is IgA deficient currently)and can tackle the

yeast? I have noticed that many DAN doctors use something called " Transfer

Factor " to boost the immune system. Anyone tried it?

that are not aspergillus-derived?
