oops, mispelled. it's 'the yeast connection', oops.

tons of info! You have to be tested for over yeasting. Then you can try the cleansing.

I'd been battling chronic yeast since I was a small child. Wondering if the yeast problem was aiding my neuro probs, I decided to do everything possible to rid myself of the yeast. I did the candida diet faithfully for 2 yrs (looked anorexic when I was done) and took Diflucan 150mg once a week for several months during that time(doc prescribed it). I became yeast free after all of that but no change in my health resulted from it. So for me, the yeast didn't make things worse; I'm sure it didn't help either. However, this is my experience. Yours may be different.
God bless. *~Lisa~*

Hey Melaniemic
Ahhhh....The "Candida Syndrome" has been an ongoing battle between alternative medicine folks and western medicine folks like me (they always claim we are unaccepting and have a stake in keeping patients sick...ugh)
If you know me..I am very accepting of alternative medicine BUT I need to see evidence based medicine results for it.
There has never been any study published in any medicine literature that reveals that treating this so-called GI overgrowth of yeast with fluconazole does anything (in any syndrome tested..including chronic fatigue, etc). That is not to say some might not get results...but while I usually tell people to give it a try...I cant with this because Diflucan (fluconazole) carries some risks and should be used only when absolutely indicated...and I dont think it has been shown to do anything for your MS, fatigue, GI upset or any other syndrome
Sorry Melaniemic...if i sound cynical..I would love you to try it if i thought it would do anything for you....but I cant say I believe in it
Dr O.

I know of another book where it says that if you have MS it is because you have unresolved childhood issues. Can't say I believe everything I read. But before you can claim any of this it seems they have to define what MS is. Don't think they've got that one down yet either.

Thanks for all your comments and advice. I'm back to 'If it sounds too good to be true, then it is'. The diet won't hurt but I don't like all the meds in it. Like Dr. O said, there are side effects that can question the value here. I guess denial isn't just a river in Egypt. Thanks all. Bless ya's.
