Probiotics, Probiotics, Probiotics - Do not underestimate their power

Thank you. Valuable information. I do believe my ITP is yeast overgrowth related.

Hi MDgal,

I hope you are doing great!

May I ask when and how many times do you usually take the probiotics every day? In the morning, before/after meals, once/twice a day? And I read from your post that you could send hair samples to labs to analyze your health condition for nutrition balancing suggestions. Do you have any recommendation of the labs as well?

Thank you so much and stay healthy!

Hi Lipnose -
I take one daily during meals. I use the renew life brand that's refrigerated.

Yes, the lab is www.arltma.com/ . You can get the kit from them and they will do a comprehensive analysis on your hair and send you an entire booklet showing what's happening with your body chemistry. I worked with a practitioner when I did this. Dr Wilson's site has a list of really good practitioners that have worked with hundred and hundreds of patients drlwilson.com/do%20hair%20analysis.htm#LIST . This was a life saver for me as after ITP, my immune system was doing so many other things and my digestion got so bad, but doctors could never find anything wrong with me. The hair test revealed my issues and I started supplementing and detoxing and eating well and saw a lot of improvement. My biggest breakthrough though was the probiotics. I've dealt with yeast overgrowth for years. Good luck

Platelets got up to 100K with my probiotics. I was one of those chronic cases on this board with platelets in single digits and teens.

Thank you so much for you quick response MDgal. I will check those links out. Fingers crossed!

Next on my to do list is something I stumbled across and wanted to share. Dr Gundry's "The plant paradox". Just google him. Many with autoimmune diseases have followed his diet and gotten well. I plan to order some of his books on amazon.

I take daily the Jarro brand - does not have to be refrigerated so it's easy to keep taking if going out of town.
