Yeast is a huge issue

It's been a long couple of days. My kid's eye continue to look terrible, but they are also changing which I hope is a progression of healing. After the 2nd yeast treatment on Wednesday the eyelids were red, itchy, & scaly. By Friday they were swollen and Saturday pink eye had set in from all the goop coming out of his eyelid and the left one was about swollen shut. I spent the morning talking with his Pediatrician since the D.O. is out of town & the office was closed. In the end his doctor decided against calling in a script for drops as he thinks this is the body trying to heal itself and didn't want to hinder the healing process. He did however recommend some homeopathic remedies, so we high-tailed it to a homeopathic pharmacy (which I had no idea one even existed!) By Sunday afternoon the pink eye is gone (thanks to the Simalison pink eye drops, I love those things!) The eye lids are now scabby from all the scratching and crusted over from the goop--gross, I know, but it is what it is. We're headed to the Ped tomorrow, hopefully he can swab them and see what the heck is going on.

On an interesting related note, last Monday my kid had a hive breakout while we were at a friend's house. Benedryl cleared up the hives, but they manifested into puss filled pimples on his face and one giant one on his foot. The face ones dried up and vanished after a day or so. But the foot one lingered, even after using Bactroban (a prescription anti-bacterial ointment.) While searching the internet for info on my kid's eyes, I came across a picture that looked identical to the thing on his foot. The picture was of a Cryptococcus lesion, which is a type of yeast. So before his nap yesterday I applied some Lotrimin, an anti-fungal cream, to his foot. The boil had vanished by the time he woke up. I also posted a question to the NAET group on Facebook, and received a response from a man that had goopy problems with his eyes after a yeast treatment. Turned out that his liver was stressed from processing all the yeast toxins. Once he was treated for his liver, he was fine. Good to know, but I still feel like we're living in The Twilight Zone.

Here's a pic of the eye lids today, it's worse in person but you get the idea:
