Hi all...I'm nomail mostly because I'm swamped with my clinical consults and
teaching schedule--haven't had time to reconstruct the reimbursement study
yet either--BUT I really need your help on two recalcitrant cases I'm
currently working.  Please email me privately as well as to the list.  I
would be indebted to anyone who can help with either case  (please, I'm
desparate and I don't reach that stage often with LC cases).

(1) First, I have 36 year old mom with a history of fibrocystic breasts who
has had repeated plugged ducts and mastitis with both of her kids (I've
helped with both 8 years apart).   She now has a 5 month old, whom I've
examined and watched nurse successfully since this baby's birth.   I'm
treating this mom and baby for yeast (using the gamut of my protocol)
because I believe that her recurrent plugged ducts are due to yeast (I've
also shown her breast compression, massage and all sorts of positions to
minimize plugs).   And I've referred her to our local ob/gyn practice for an
ultrasound evaluation of what appeared to be a galactocele.  They referred
her to the high end ultrasound at our local hospital (the sonographer
pressed so hard on both breasts that this poor mom had severe edema and
subsequent mastitis).  The radiologist agreed that it was a galactocele.
The mom was referred to a surgeon, who drained the golf ball sized lump.  It
was not a galactocele, but a serus filled cyst.  The volumed extracted was 4
ml of clear yellow-tinged sticky ooze.  Mom is currently taking: lecithin,
vit C, zinc, multivitamin, Nature's Biotics (which include Soil Born
Organisms that aggressively seek out and scavenge yeasts, parasites,
viruses, and bacteria--email me if you want more details), vit. E, and
plenty of water.
Gratefully yours,
Chris
