Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Shari, You are just in a very tough spot. I'm so sorry that you are going through this! It must be very painful. I wonder why they can't isolate what is causing your infection? Have they cultured anything? But more importantly, is the antibiotic working? If it is not working, then they've missed the mark, and your candida issues are going to suffer for the worse from the antibiotic use. What has worked so far? Anything at all? The only thing I can suggest is for you to get examined by a specialist in stealth viruses and mycobacteria, such as Professor Garth Nicolson in Huntington Beach, CA. Maybe you can write him and explain your situation and see what he has to offer. His email address is: gnicolson@... Check out his website here: www.immed.org He is an expert in mycobacteria and stealth virus issues, and is such a kind, kind man. He has always answered my emails. At this point, it sounds like you need some big guns, and I am not talking about drugs. I am talking about doctors who can get at the root of your infection and deal with it effectively. Keep taking the probiotics, garlic, olive leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil, colloidal silver, caprylic acid, and any other natural agent you have on hand to fight infection and candida. Stay away from sugar. As for the prednisone, only you can make the decision on whether or not to keep taking it. Research it. Ask yourself if the risks make it worth taking. Does it seem to be helping? The question is, what will happen if it works, and then you go off? You don't want to be on it long term, and the best you can hope for is temporary relief until the root of the problem is solved. If you contact Dr. Nicolson and hear back from him, please let us know what he says. I hope you find some answers Shari! Hugs, Patty ----- Original Message ----- From: halvey70@...

I wonder if the benefits outweigh in this situation? He put me on a months worth as well as a nasal spray steriod too and Levequin - a strong antibiotic. I am guessing my candida is never going away at this point but I don't know what to doshari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
