I have a story to share in the hopes that it may help others. My son had suffered for three years from an eating disorder, binge eating disorder, depression, anxiety, isolation. He had some relief from adderall and zoloft after trying a lot of other meds, but not consistent enough for him to have a life. Out of sheer desperation and a belief that something else was wrong, we went to a Natural Healing Clinic where he was tested through kinesiology and found to have a yeast overgrowth in his brain,, a weakness in his adrenal galnds, a problem with the sugar in his brain caused by the liver not converting enough glycogen and also a weak frontal cortex. Now I am as skeptical as they come, but this guy has helped him so much and his threory is that the brain is just another organ that needs healing. He still takes his meds, but some of the worst symptoms - the cravings, the tiredness after meals, the fatigue etc, are so much improved that I can't believe it. This in combination with the meds has given him a lot more hope. At age 19, his life may be beginning again after three years of hell. Perhaps there is hope out there for others. Write me if you want to.

Amy,
I was also dx'd with an overgrowth of yeast and weak adrenal function. Due to finances, I was not able to contiue going to the Holistic doctor. My insurance didn't cover the visits or therapies. Could you please eloborate on some of the treatments your son received? I am very interested in what you have to say. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Petey

Amy - How do they test for "yeast overgrowth in the brain" and a "weak frontal cortex"? How do they treat these? This is interesting because I know of no scientific procedure (apart perhaps from some unique fMRI or PET scan [that I haven't heard of] labeling for yeast, with an agent that is able to pass through the very tight blood brain barrier).
A curious Cam

I was wondering if yeast can pass the blood to brain barrier.
