Tragic journal of girl's death... fungal yeast finally won.

Here's the correct link. Sorry!

One of my friends sent me a link to one of HIS close friends

daughter's medical journal. 3 weeks ago, the girl went to the

hospital with strep throat and walking pneumonia. The next day, she

was diagnosed with double pneumonia and the flu. Things deteriorated

so quickly, they flew her that day to Vanderbilt and did surgery...

inserting tubes... etc...

The journal chronicles the hopes, prayers and what this family

endured. She died 2 days ago, finally from a fungus infection in her

brain, along with the fungal yeast in her lungs... which could not be

cured as long as she had plastic tubes in her lungs, because it

encouraged yeast growth. For the rapid deterioration, begin reading

at page 3, so you don't have to begin at page 14.

She went through TONS of surgery with TONS of medications and

procedures. Amazing that fungal yeast was present pretty early on,

and was what finally killed her. The doctors were baffled and

confused about this. Please don't post anything about yeast/diet on

their log... I'm sure they are going through a difficult time right

now, and don't need to be made to feel guilty or something for what

they didn't know at the time...

It is interesting reading, when compared to what we read here.
