I am absolutely desperate and out of my mind watching my ten year old suffer with a plethora of symptoms that began about 5 years ago. Abdominal pain-at times severe, that lasts days, allergies to dust mites, pollen, milk products, etc., acid reflux, indigestion, muscle/joint pain, runny nose, poor attention, anxiety-OCD, poor sleep, constipation, overweight, lethargy/weakness, asthma, bloating/gas-especially in morning, and worst of all, constant nasal congestion that is moderate to severe all the time!!!!!
I have suffered along with him. I am desperate to help this child!!!!!
I believe that he is suffering with systemic candida and possibly EBV.
Where do I begin? Do I self treat? Look for a holistic practitioner competent enough to help him, or do I get your book and follow the protocols?
Can I treat him as an adult or does the protocol change?
I am a chiropractor with considerable knowledge but this is pretty complicated and different because he is my son.
I am grateful for anything you or the readers can do for my baby>
Blessings and thanks, Mark S., DC
Candida Diet for Children

Your son has many of the symptoms of candida, so the protocols that I recommend should hopefully benefit your son.
I also have a shortened anti-candida protocol which your son could take, which you can print out from this link:
Your son should take this remedy exactly as advised in the link -- no shortcuts!
If you want to know exactly what the anti-candida protocol does in more detail then you should perhaps also buy my book on Candida. The book will help you to understand the protocol better, which will also help you to more efficiently treat or doctor your sons condition. The book also includes a simple Health Defense Diet to follow while taking the protocols. The anti-candida protocol in the book is a more complicated protocol but the shortened, simplified protocol in the above link seems to be just as effective.
Both anti-candida protocols (from the book and from the link) have been specifically designed to kill a wide range of fungus, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, mycobacteria and parasites. Your son seems to also have fungal, bacterial and viral infections and possibly parasites, so taking these anti-candida protocols should definitely help to heal him and bring him back to health.
As to how long it will take until he is rid of his condition and cured -- this will depend on both the extent of his candida infection and will also depend on the extent of his other associated pathogenic infections like viruses, bacteria and parasites in his body. When I had systemic candida it took me a year to cure that condition using my protocols. In actual fact I really felt cured after only six months on my protocol but I continued the anti-candida protocol for another six months because candida is able to hide from the immune system like viruses(Read my book!). I've been candida-free for about 13 years now with no recurrence of this disease.
Lastly, you should also expect a Herxheimer reaction when you son first starts the anti-candida protocols. A Herx reaction occurs when a large amount of pathogens are suddenly killed in the body when you start the protocols. A Herx reaction can actually worsen your symptoms for a while due to all the poisons released because of the massive kill of pathogens in the body, which acts to stress the liver and hormones to make you feel awful. This is quite normal and usually cannot be avoided and its actually a good sign because it means that the anti-candida protocols are working well to kill pathogens in the body. If a Herx reaction happens with your son then just reduce the dosages for a while to a more comfortable level and then later, when the pathogens are sufficiently reduced in the body, you can go back to using the normal dosages.
