Think about this: Usually when women take antibiotics, they end up with a vaginal yeast infection, right? This is because the antibiotics killed off the bad bacteria and a whole bunch of the good bacteria too.

If you have a vaginal yeast infection, you’re lucky—in the sense that you’ve found the yeast infection. But what if that yeast infection ends up in your intestines instead of your vagina? You won’t feel it, and it will be there for years draining your energy.

(And what if you’re a guy? That yeast infection ends up in your intestines, and you won’t feel it, and it will be there for years draining your energy.)

This is what I mean by a hidden chronic infection caused by antibiotics.

How many times in your life have you been on antibiotics?

Is there a history of antibiotic use six to twelve months prior to your fatigue starting?

If yes, then you may have found the underlying cause of your fatigue!

Antibiotics can cause chaos in the intestines for up to four years!

That’s one round of antibiotics! How many rounds have you been on in your life?

Many fatigue sufferers have chronic infections, and this contributes to their fatigue. The problem is the infection very, very rarely shows up on any blood work. And when there are signs of an infection on the blood work, it usually gets ignored by the doctor unless you’re having fever, diarrhea, and vomiting.

A recent patient that flew in from Cairo had 4 hidden infections that I found via stool and urine testing.

A recent patient from Arizona had 2 hidden infections that I found via stool testing.

A recent patient that Skyped from Massachusetts had 1 hidden infection and a clear deficiency of probiotics (found via stool test) but was not treated properly by her holistic doctor.

A recent patient right here in Ottawa – who had blood testing and breath testing via the healthcare system and all her tests were ‘normal’ – actually had H. pylori infection that finally got diagnosed via stool testing.
