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, and you can print it out from this link:
Your son should follow 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 might consider purchasing my book on Candida. The book will help you understand the protocol better, which will also help you more efficiently manage or address your son's condition. The book also includes a simple Health Defense Diet to follow while taking the protocols. The anti-candida protocol in the book is more comprehensive, but the shortened, simplified protocol in the link above seems to be just as effective.
Both anti-candida protocols (from the book and the link) have been specifically designed to target a wide range of fungus, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, mycobacteria, and parasites. Your son seems to have fungal, bacterial, and viral infections and possibly parasites, so taking these anti-candida protocols should definitely help to improve his health and support his recovery.
As to how long it will take until he is free of his condition and fully recovered—this will depend on the extent of his candida infection and any associated pathogenic infections like viruses, bacteria, and parasites in his body. When I had systemic candida, it took me a year to recover using my protocols. In fact, I really felt recovered after only six months on my protocol, but I continued the anti-candida protocol for another six months because candida can 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 condition.
Lastly, you should also expect a Herxheimer reaction when your son first starts the anti-candida protocols. A Herx reaction occurs when a large number of pathogens are suddenly eliminated in the body when you start the protocols. A Herx reaction can actually worsen symptoms for a while due to all the toxins released by the massive die-off of pathogens, which can stress the liver and hormones, making one feel awful. This is quite normal and usually cannot be avoided, and it's actually a good sign because it means the anti-candida protocols are working effectively. If a Herx reaction happens with your son, then just reduce the dosages for a while to a more comfortable level. Later, when the pathogens are sufficiently reduced, you can return to the standard dosages.
