With the Doctor’s Data stool test they give a list of the botanical and prescription agents for the isolated organisms in the dysbiotic or yeast categories. Do you use the information to modify the antimicrobial protocols? For example, G.I. Synergy has many botanicals on the DDI list, but if the organism is only susceptible to silver, then should we add or replace that to the protocol?

Dr. Amy Nett:  I rarely even look at the sensitivities. I have found G.I. Synergy to be effective almost all of the time. I’ve never seen anything where it was susceptible only to silver. I’m not sure if you’ve actually seen that, or just giving that as an example. But I really haven’t found it necessary to review all the sensitivities. And then I don’t do prescription medications for the bacteria there, just for the parasites, and then I would generally use alinia. So no, I don’t generally look at the sensitivities.
