It helps to control the yeast beast and it's inexpensive.

[ ] Why is Biotin important and what does it do?

I know Biotin is a form of a B Vitamin.....but why are so many using it with

this protocol. What else does it do? I heard someone say they use it instead

of probiotics which confused me?

I tried to search the net but nothing gave much information..

Much Thanks

The good bacteria in the gut [probiotics] manufacture biotin. The biotin is

what the body uses to control yeast. My son did not tolerate probiotics, so I

supplemented with biotin with good success.

This is fascinating. My son has something that looks like cradle cap on his

head (exactly like it), but it hurts him if I touch it. I understand that

cradle cap may be caused by a deficiency in Biotin. Does this sound familiar?

My son is 8 years old and about 60 pounds. How much would he take?

I started with 400mcg and worked up. The most yeast control I gave my son was

20mg 3x per day biotin, and 4 tablets GSE 3x per day.

Selenium was also helpful here.

Does GSE wipe out good bacteria? That's why I am afraid to use OoO again.

You got my attention. My son, 8yrs old, also had this earlier in the year. kind

of gross. I waited it out a week or so. I might have given him garlic oil and

GSE but honestly, I didn't write it down. The skin lifted off of his scalp in

what can only be explained as several huge dandruff flakes. Luckily not in

school at this time. After a lot of scrubbing and a measure of complaining we

got it off.

(cradle cap is a yeast infection)

So, I'm wondering who else might have had this happen. I'll be paying

attention.
