has anyone tried his protocol which consists of diflucan + any of the following penicillin derivatives: cefalosporine, roxithromycin, cotrim-TMPO, and clarithromycin.
If so, Can you accurately report your experience as fully as possible.
thanks

My husband has been sick for about a year with many misdiagnoses. He was put on high dose prednisone for his interstitial lung disease and supposed dermatomyositis.

After about 5 months of that treatment a bronchoscope discovered candida in his lungs. The doctor put him on Diflucan 100 mg. once a day.

Week by week he improved. Unfortunately, he was so encouraged by his improvement that he dropped down too fast on his prednisone.

That combined with a pneumonia vaccine and 10 hyperbaric treatment completely reversed his improvement. I was very curious why he had improved and felt that there was something more going on than the yeast problem.

I found Dr. Schardt's study and decided to have my husband tested for lyme. The test came back positive.

I don't know if diflucan is the complete answer but it definitely did something positive for my husband. Over at www.rheumatic.org many people are taking antibiotics for autoimmune/rheumatic diseases.

Some of the people that for some reason don't make improvement seem to make great strides once they get on diflucan. I know alot of them think it's just the yeast that was holding them back but I think there may be more to it.

If you do it, make sure you take milk thistle, NAC, etc. to protect the liver.
