Yeast Infection

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

According to what Kate's LLMD has given her in the way of handouts and from his

talking with her, it is my opinion that besides Lyme you also have a yeast

infection. The irritable bowel syndrome and thrush mouth are definite

indications of yeast, and you need to be treated for that along with Lyme and

any other disease that you may have like Babesiosis. He has found that many

patients have all three problems, he said. The yeast infection will lower your

immune system, which you do need to fight the other stuff. For the yeast, he

has Kate on Nystatin and lots of acidophilus (like four to six two-billion-unit

capsules per day of the live type from the health food stores) and fruit-free

yogurt. She cannot have any carbohydrates, fruit, sugars, alcohol or caffeine.

After being on Flagyl for checking to see her reaction for Bb spirochette for

thirty-six days, and confirming the Bb by herxzing, he then had her continue the

Flagyl with a slow build up, and to take Biaxin to fight the Bb also in it

different form, and I think also, to fight babesiosis if she has that, also. He

has tested her for babisiosis now on her second visit to him. We are awaiting

that result. It sure seems to me that you have Lyme plus! Good luck!! And

hope that you begin to feel better.

& Kate (MO)
