over the last 2 weeks my mom and i have had to make a couple of trips up to memphis, tn to see dr. richard wanderman [phone number....901-683-2777]...the candida specialist who trained under dr. william crook (who wrote the book THE YEAST CONNECTION HANDBOOK).....
i have definitely turned a corner.....the diflucan finally kicked in after my being on it for at least 2 and a half months, almost 3.....that's one of the major reasons i'm improving....along with supplements....along with strict no sugar
diet....along with much prayer....
i wanted to e-mail you the new regimen this doctor has me on specifically to treat candida(yeast in blood-which usually accompanies CFS) and build my immune system back up.....he said mine seems pretty shot....he said most folks on his regimen after about 4 to 6 months drastically improve....he said it will probably take me a little longer....
but just to be able to return to my life even somewhat has been such a blessing....even the depression and brainfog are improving....so relieved and grateful.
looks as if soon i will be able to return to finishing up my cd studio project....which will mean i'll probably be in nashville parts of nov/dec/jan to wrap it up.
i wanted to share what my new regimen is....hoping it might can help....
he lowered my dose of diflucan to 100mg(since i'd already been on it awhile)...the first 3 months i took 150 mg....and got blod work done a couple of times to be sure my liver was doing ok with it....
primrose oil(similar to flax seed oil)500mg 3 times a day
astragulus 1-2 capsules 3 times a day(energy)
ultrase mt 12 1 capsule with meals(enzymes)
siberian ginseng 1 capsule 3 times a day(energy/etc.)
