severe Herxheimers die off

February 13, 2010

Well now that you mention it I don't know what kind of pneumonia it is. I

started the Levaquin because I assumed it was bacterial and it has helped

but my wheezing is still there... but I am a 'yeasty' person and as we have

agreed here, my former asthma was definitely associated with yeast and GI

bacterial infection. I found that out by accident after being treated for a

GI infection and taking Diflucan around the same time - my asthma

disappeared. I just saw my primary physician the day before the pneumonia

set in and she gave me a 2 month supply of Diflucan to try to kill off yeast

through out my body. we had agreed I have a systemic infection. Does

anybody know about taking GSE along with that? I have not experienced die

off from Diflucan whereas I get it every time from GSE - which is almost

comical. I wonder if GSE is more potent against certain kinds of fungi?

The whole thing started because I believe I might be able to attribute my

tinnitus to yeast and bacterial metabolites. It started about a yr ago and I

notice when I eat carbs or sugar that my tinnitus gets louder - which got me

to thinking about it being an inflammatory reaction to metabolites.

fortunately my Dr is into Integrated Medicine and will listen to me.

One last question about the Activated Charcoal - I haven't used it before

and I thought you took it like 4 hrs apart from the GSE or drug - is that

right? Also are you using probiotics during this time to replace GI flora

or waiting till after the treatment period is over?

Thank you so much, you've been very helpful

When I get severe lung issues, I take 4 GSE tablets [the equivalent of 50

drops] and 20mg biotin every hour until the main problem passes. I HAD NO

IDEA YOU COULD TAKE SO MUCH!

My asthma was caused by yeast in my lungs. So long as my yeast is under

control, I have no asthma symptoms.

> Do you think its in my GI tract or in some other tissue area?

Based on my personal experience, this sounds like you have a lot of yeast

somewhere in your body, and when you take GSE it migrates into your lungs as

it is dying off.

I would use activated charcoal to absorb the die off. I used ALA as a

chelator, which increased yeast for the first 50 rounds.
