Doug Talks About: A discovery in the 1970's - skin fungi and serious diseasesShow more

SKIN IN THE GAME--In 1986, while living in Los Angeles, a Dallas, TX physician challenged my hypothesis that skin problems were, in fact, often caused by yeast in the gut. He was one of very few physicians on a national medical board specializing in psoriasis. He came to LA to speak with me, and later invited me to his office in a large Dallas hospital to see if my antifungal hypothesis could help some of his psoriasis patients. I came in a week per month and within 6 months, he asked me to relocate to TX with my family and work with him. What we saw was truly unbelievable and soon he believed that many cases of psoriasis were linked with gut yeast overgrowth. A newer psoriasis medication is now on the market and in some patients, it does seem to control their symptoms, but at a cost of $100,000 annually and a risk of terrible side effects, including suicide it seems to me that only doctors and patients who were unfamiliar with my work decades ago might opt for this expensive, injectable option. What was our protocol with every one of the psoriasis patients he sent me and what did we learn? Invite your loved one and friends because what you will learn today may also be a great way to prevent very serious diseases in addition to skin problems. - Doug
