This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

So I went and saw a new "holistic" dr yesterday. For the FIRST TIME I felt like somebody cared about my problems. He looked in my mouth and immediately noted that I have a yeast infection caused by a inability to absorb proteins. I told him about my 129274727 problems. He started me on enzyme-v to take with food a multi nutrient to take 6 times a day GIH to take at night and l-methylate he said my poor body has been sick a very long time (IT REALLY has) and that he could tell it was depressing me. I trust his consensus. My question is does anyone know anything about these suPplements? He would have answered more questions he just had a flight to catch I see him again in 2 weeks. I seriously wanted to cry. I felt for once that someone CARED and LISTENED to me.

Hi,

It's good to hear you have found someone who you think can help. The next time you see him ask him to check if the infection he noted in your mouth could also be Oral hairy Leukoplakia. It's very easy to confuse with Candida. Often it is regarded as harmless or symptomatic of a compromised immune system such as the run down condition seen in HIV. All it is really is the only physical manifestation of Epstein-Barr virus. If you ever were diagnosed with Glandular fever then it would certainly be a genuine chance that the coating on your tongue is OHL rather than Candida. It is not well understood. This website has a very basic description -

You may quite possibly have both infections and each require a different treatment. I have written about my own experience with this under the Regime topic Avonex and Valtrex.

Regards

Scott,
Thank you for your answer. I had mononucleosis when I was about 17 I heard that's the Epstein Barr virus but I'm not well educated on that. He sdid I've been really sick for a long time and it's no wonder why. Felt good to be validated in that. I swear most people think I'm exaggerating or it can't be that bad because in young. That's exactly why I hate feeling as bad as I do. I have so much life left. And A 2 year old to raise.

Hi Again,

The way I look at it, it sounds fairly classical. Whatever else you do also try limiting the EBV. If you're own interferon then stay on it.
It won't be enough on its own.
I stay very well and symptom free doing the following
1) Avonex injections weekly
2) Valtrex (or generic) 500g twice daily - if this is too costly try Lysine from the heath food shop
3) a level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a long glass of water when you get up too be more alkaline
4)3 boiled eggs for breakfast - I say it's good for me but I just like them
5)a long glass of fresh carrot juice with a bit of ginger to activate the RXR receptor
6 )a swig of Olive leaf extract (tastes disgusting but the activate ingredient in the key to the Mediterrean diet success)- activates receptor PPAR
7)a level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in the evening to stay alkaline
8) 300-450 mg of a good brand of Coenyzeme Q10 just before bed to help rebuild ATP (thats where your energy comes from)

Except for the eggs, some of these things can cause discomfort when starting so introduce them one at a time but keep going.

Good luck
