I haven't been able to convice a Doctor to let me try Diflucan yet.
Anyhow, the theory is that Candida overgrowth keeps "good bugs" away.
Could it also be that it could keep some other "bad bugs" away too.
Stay with me. This cluster attack has been chronic for me. It started
in late November and still hasn't subsided. During this entire period,
however, I have not been ill otherwise. Not the flu, not a cold, not even
the sniffles (except from a reaction to Migranal). Could it be that
Candida is also controlling the population of the bacteria that causes
the aforementioned maladies? I normally get sick 2 or 3 times each winter.
I work in a school system and get exposed to all kinds of things that the
kids drag in. I could be (and probably am) way off base here. But could
the thing that causes clusters also be the cure for the common cold??!!
If so, which would you prefer? If anyone else has any theories about this,
reply. If you think I'm TOTALLY NUTS, keep it too yourself. I don't want to
appear to be TOO BIG A FOOL. Thanks for listening.
