Lab Results: Insights and Questions to Ask?

[Guest guest]

During the last visit that we had with our DAN doctor, we agreed that since our

daughter is still showing signs of yeast that we'd start her on Diflucan. Our

DAN wanted us to have some lab work done before starting Diflucan. Last week,

the office called saying to hold off on the Diflucan until we had a consult. We

have a consult on Friday, and I've been looking over the lab results. I'm

wondering if any of the biomed veteran's of the group might have some insights

about what they could mean and what questions to ask? I've been doing some

research on my own and see some red flags based on my own health issues, but I

want to see what somebody with fresh view point might conclude.

Here are the results of concern:

CBC with Differential/Platelet

MCV 95 High Norm 80-92 Note: Iron levels are normal.

Neutrophils 22 Low Norm 40-70

Lymphs 59 High Norm 20-47

Monocytes 11 High Norm 3-10

Eos 7 High Norm 0-4

Neutrophils (Absolute) 1.0 Low Norm 1.5-5.6

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (14)

AST (SGOT) 42 High Norm 0-40

Also noteworthy, though her vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy is normal, it is at the low

end of normal; result 33.8 Norm 32-100, and we have been giving her a vitamin

D supplement for many months now.

Thanks in advance for your insights!---

Did the doctor think the yeast was going to magically disappear between visits

without doing anything about it?

Diflucan is hard on the liver...Why not use natural antifungals? Oh yeah, I

forgot, DAN's don't make money off those.

I am a biomed vet if you want to call it that. I don't buy much into what DAN's

do for most kids because they tend to keep you coming back and don't really fix

anything. All you get is a kitchen full of expensive supplements you can't use

and an empty bank account. If you'd like to avoid this scenario....you can learn

safe frequent low dose chelation and the accompanying biomedical therapies like

antifungals yourself on this list or on Recovery From Autism Group.

Neutrophils would be a concern if they are below normal. Eos high: there is some

underlying infection going on. Probably parasites. I'd do an herbal cleanse. And

get some Neutrophil Plus to boost her neutrophil count. Also elevated monocytes

and lymphcytes...again infection. Possible viral or parasites.

her vitamin D isn't normal, it's pitifully low. It should be above 65. How much

D is she on? It isn't enough. In kids this low I put them 5,000 IU per day until

their blood labs come back above 65. You need D for immune function. That could

be a factor in her low neutro count.
