I just bought some, and the info that came with it stated - No harsh herbal colon cleanses, no herbal parasite killers, so I am interested in what others have done as far as taking Diflucan and Primal Defense together.

Thanks.

I was planning on taking Primal Defense with generic Diflucan-I just bought some the other day and was going to use up my current probiotic first.

So hopefully the others will have an answer for us soon.

I took your advice and emailed the Garden of
Life site. Thanks for posting.

I asked them the question above, plus, I also asked them about the amount of iron in the Primal Defense and Perfect Food tablets.

Being post-menopausal, I wonder if the amount of iron in the combined products is a wise choice for someone who is beyond young.

Other than that concern, I feel their products are near perfect.

I am hoping for a reply from them.

Thanks minou.

Please let us know what G of Life writes back to you. Thanks much.

I will.

The reply I received from Garden of Life regarding the iron content for post-menopausal women was that they do not know if it would be too much iron or not.

The reply regarding whether you can take Diflucan and Primal Defense together was that they do not know.

So.....anyone out there know?

Thanks.

I do know that one should not take Sach. Boulardii with Diflucan, as the Diflucan will kill it. P.D. has Sach. B. in it. Not sure about the other organisms in it.

My gut tells me to keep taking probiotics, even whil on Diflucan. My nurse said to keep taking them.

Thant's all I know. Worse that can happen is the Diflucan kills the good and bad stuff.

I know, I wish I could have gotten a better reply from GOL.

The reason I was so interested is that I will be starting the 100 mg Diflucan b.i.d. protocol soon for about 4 weeks...suggested by Dr. C in MO and also Dr. B in KC. And, I just wanted to continue taking Primal Defense, but now I don't know.

Dr. B in KC has several patients on that protocol right now (too soon to tell results, however), and since I've been off abx for a short time, he said to try it, since I am loaded with yeast.

Dr. B was so interested in this Germany doc's results that he called and talked to the doc there and asked for the full text regarding this study. Actually, this all happened as a mistake, and there might not be anything to it at all. Interesting, nonetheless.

Even if it does nothing for Lyme, it may surely help eradicate Candida. Dr. C said for 25 days, Dr. B's pts are going for 4-6 weeks. I'm interested in what results this may bring. (I'll also be sure and monitor liver while doing this).

I may just continue with PB8 while on the Diflucan.

I won't start that protocol until another two weeks, I think. Too much going on right now.

I did the Diflucan 100mg for 5 weeks. It did not help my Lyme symptoms at all. The Candida die-off was pretty bad though. I went back on abx because I was still very sick. I am now doing the Diflucan 3 days a week, just to help keep the Candida at bay.

But, the PD, a good diet, GSE and a good refrigerated probiotic are all helping with the Candida. Systemic Candida has been horrible for me - sometimes worse than the Lyme symptoms.

Keep us informed as to how your trial of 4 weeks works.

I think you're right about the PD, good diet and good probiotics which is a major help with Candida. That's a huge problem with me.

Autumn,

I'm envious that you have been off abx for two years with good results and maintaining on good diet, supplements, etc. I may email you if that's all right. I do have some Coconut Oil from GOL, but it's not organic. I don't use it very often...it's expensive.

Aniek,

I'm happy to know that you can take PD and Diflucan together even though it may eliminate some probiotic effect from the PD. PD is a great product.

I did start the Germany protocol two days ago with 2 100 mg Diflucan each day and will be doing that for 4-6 weeks. I'm to call Dr. B to report the results afterwards. I also will be seeing Dr. C and report to him in about a month after.

It would be wonderful if this shows good results whether it be for Candida or Lyme.

Thanks all.

I found the same results as AutumnS.,with the very same products. Respectable lit. supports their use, as well.B

Also:
See Dr. Zhang's site, http://www.Dr-Zhang.com. I think, his allicin will do-in candida and, perhaps certain if not most fungi. Search his site for other products, that will do the job.
