thoughts on "temporary" protocol for niece in Ontario?

Hi trishums

I am so sorry your niece is struggling. She's lucky to have you looking out for her. I can imagine your panic… you are doing the brave thing by getting some info and answers for her—invaluable in this circumstance. Stay strong and focused and inquisitive. ;)

Hopefully, some parents will be along to advise. Just wanted to suggest that the body can respond pretty intensely to the abx. But also, the AL-Complex is very powerful. I think you mean 1/3 a dropper? That is a pretty high dose. So I would not attack more until her body has had a chance to adjust to her current protocol. And I would then maybe work back up to higher doses increasing one drop every couple of days… literally, that slowly.

But the bigger issue right now is the yeast infection. It can hamper any kind of treatment and if left untreated successfully, it can cause tremendous damage in your gut. And, you probably know that 70% of your immune system is in your gut, and most LLMDs will tell you that no treatment will work w/out the support of your own immune system.

So it's best to tackle y/f overgrowth hard and fast. If symptoms or an overgrowth have already developed, you'll need to jump from the natural remedies to Rx. The ACV and baking soda are a great approach for a bath… But you'll likely need to hit the overgrowth from the gut, where it likely is originating due to the abx.

Please read through my suggestions for PURE NYSTATIN POWDER. It is by far the least invasive and the most impactful remedy you can take to get things under control the fastest. She'll likely need to stay on it for the duration of her abx treatment. Here is a link to several threads.

Please let me know if you have any q's.

Got it. So that is a very low dose of AL-Complex. I think it would be OK to increase to 2/3 a drop in a couple days. And normally, knowing how fast to go usually depends on how people respond to the treatment… you can very easily overwhelm the immune system and the body, in general.

More important than increasing the lyme treatment right now is dealing with the yeast/fungal overgrowth, and DETOX! The baths, lemon water, AS Gold are really great. I would also add in some liver support with burdock root or milk thistle seed.

I would try to get her into any MD who can write a prescription for PURE NYSTATIN POWDER at 1,000,000 units per day. This might not be easy… read the threads for more info to arm yourself with. Most MDs aren't informed about the pure form of Nystatin so it takes several conversations to convince them to order it (although, before big pharma took over the medical industry, it's what all MDs prescribed because it was so safe and effective).

Most pharmacy chains won't carry it—you'll need to get it at a compounding pharmacy. You can call around your area to see who carries it but most compounding pharmacists online will carry it. Mine even ships for free so let me know if you need his contact info. Hopefully, with the powder, you can knock out the overgrowth quickly and implement a lower maintenance dose.

And if you just need more time to convince the MD to order the powder, go ahead and get her started on the regular Nystatin capsules (usually the daily dose is 500,000 units—although there are lots of fillers in it, so the actual content of Nystatin is much less than 500,000 units...). You can take a chance and increase her dose for more than what is usually prescribed, although this means you'll run out more quickly. I think it's well worth it. You can get creative with reasons to replace the Rx…

Hope this helps!
