Hi Dr. Woeller,
I’ve been working with a family, young male 11 years of age. M/C seizures, pale, asocial, low energy. Worked on diet, eliminating wheat/dairy,sugars based on mildly elevated candida, ‘normal’ levels of clostridia/bacteria (14). Protocol was set forth with D.E., Klaire probiotics, MV/MM, B6, D3. Mother reported great improvements – no seizures, improved energy and social interaction.
follow up OAT reveals lower arabinose marker but now elevated Tricarballylic and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic. 2-hydroxyhippuric did come down, but still elevated.
My questions:
1. Is this common to see another infection revealed in a follow up, after intervention? I didn’t recommend candex/biocidin or interfase that would break down the biofilm, assuming this would expose other infections.
2. Why the jump in tricarballylic – is it corn related, from adopting a GF/DF diet?
3. I’m thinking that hidden bacteria infections, such as clostridia, may be a common theme with children that experience seizures. They seem to respond to the four pillars. I’m considering adopting a biocidin protocol for all mild/moderate cases of candida in this client base in attempts to: a. address any other bacterial or possible pathogenic infections and to breakdown the biofilm. What are your thoughts?
Much appreciated,
Lynn
