Topic: Diflucan, A side-effect or Herx?

I took one Diflucan pill early this afternoon and exactly one hour later I had pretty bad Dizzyness, Sickness, Nausia, and my head feeling heavy. I still feel like this and I have lost my appetite.

Can Diflucan work that quickly?
This sounds like more of a side effect, what do you think?

Yeast die-off. You may want to upport yourself with mop-up agents (chlorella, pectin, chitosan, cholestyramine, Destroxin, or others). When yeast dies, heavy metals held in the mold/fungi/yeast cell wall are released into the system. Dizziness, etc. and feeling miserable.

You may want to catch the toxic metals with the mop-up agents to take them out of the gut via stool and prevent reabsorption/recirculation/redeposit somewhere else in the body. Organ protection. Organs cannot be replenished.

Also protect liver and kidneys, especially kidneys when the metals are on the move.

Take care.

Gigi,

Which is the best one to take to get rid of toxins? I'd want something that I wouldn't have to take a ton of pills a day. The most I want to take is 2 pills a day.

And what you recommend, please also let me know where to get it.

Thanks

A yeast die off can happen 1 hour after starting one diflucan pill? Has anyone experienced this?

I dont know how I can really have yeast, I"m a 20 year old guy. and I"ve been on antibiotics for around 5 months which I stopped 5 months ago.
Is there any kind of standard lab test they can do to check for yeast?
