I've been taking bennett to a chiropracter who practices NAET(nambudripad allergy elimaination technique). That's actually how I considered the yeast theory. One sign of yeast related illness is multiple food and chemical allergies. Skin tests proved that the allergies or sensitivities were there, but there were no outward signs. Just the cluster headaches. The headaches seem to come on like acute allergic reactions;hives, sneezing, etc., so I made a connection. I could be wrong. In the beginning bennett had a culture taken from inside his nose and the doctor found staphorious(sp?). I was told that his immune system should take care of that kind of bacteria, mabye it can't because candida lowered his immune system. Hell, I don't know. Bennett did have a terrible case of conjunctivitis that left his eye permanently smaller; it's on the same side his headaches are on. Well, all that said, I am on the hunt for a good naturopath to help check for parasites, poisons, etc. Thanks for responding, Margi.
