Re: Valtrex and Diflucan question

[Guest guest]

Interesting, my son is now on Nizoral and his dosage is the exact same. It may be standard with antifungal drugs.

Valtrex and Diflucan question

I realize that my answer probably lies somewhere in the archives but currently I don’t have much time to research for the answer so I will be very grateful for any replies to this email. Our DAN gave us a script for Valtrex and Diflucan. The Valtrex is 500 mg 3 x a day. The Diflucan throws me a bit it says ½ tablet everyday for 10 days, then ½ tablet every other day for ten days, then ½ tablet twice a week thereafter. We also have Nystatin that we’ve already been giving. I thought the Diflucan had to be given every day?? Please help with any advice or experience!!

Thanks so much!

Dr. Sid Baker is doing a wonderful protocol that works up to 400mg

of diflucan (and I think it mentions nizoral) per day for a period

of 10 days and then he either moves down the dosage or starts to

rotate them. It's in the last DAN! Conference hand outs. I would

consider a strategy like this if you can get your doc onboard.

Every doctor seems to have a different strategy to handling fungus.

The mainstream believes 10 days is enough. In our kids it is

generally a chronic problem until the metals are cleared.

My belief:

Mercury and other metals and toxins bind to the intestinal wall

alter the bacterial flora and allow fungus and bad bacteria to

grow.

We kill off the fungus through foods that won't feed the fungus and

antifungal meds. If we remove this therapy before the metals and

viruses are gone then the problem just starts right back up again.

This is a multiprocess condition and we need to treat all the facits

at the same time until they are gone, in my opinon. It takes time

and it takes a doctor willing to ride out some longer term viral,

fungal, and metals strategies with you.

I believe a doctor who does not respect the chronic damage that

fungus is doing is being nieve... but following mainstream

thinking.

Our Diflucan (generic) script is for 100mg tablets. How do I find the

handouts from the DAN! Conference? Is this something I can find

online? Thanks!

It could be one explanation, yes. Just like with any therapy, I

think we need to keep pushing along the therapy road of something

works but doesn't normalize the child.

In my child the combination of antivirals, antifungals and diet

seemed to help him enough for him to mobilize his metals... but each

child is different. If he wasn't doing as well as he is without

anything but diet, a mulivitamin, vitamin c, and coromega... I would

have considered chelating.

The trick is for the child not to need much therapy. If they do,

odds are there is more going on that likely needs to be treated.

Just my philosophy.
