you are in the right place for alternative healing. many people here are so very knowledgeable... and support natural healing. Other forums I frequent are dominated by parents who favor a drug based approach. based on my own life experience, i know its really a road to nowhere.
re leaky gut and yeast. we have looked at this, and I myself am a recovered candida sufferer. I see yeast as a symptom of deeper issues, that is, they just take advantage of a weakened body. the weak gut and poor digestion is the real problem. That being said we do give max pau d'arco tea, and some slippery elm tea. not sure to what extent it helps. my wife also takes msm. again, hard to say if it helps or not....
