Re: husband's drug reaction--trying aloe now...

[Guest guest]

He is off Amoxicillin, is now allergic to Benadryl, and he drank

tons of water today without urinating much so it appears the kidneys

are effected by these horrible drugs and we are talking only a few

days too.

Tomorrow I am taking him to an Oriental Dr. for some acupuncture os

some oriental treatments. The previous methods of treatment are not

helping.

I took an aloe leaf from my plant, scraped some of the inside and he

is taking the aloe this way--scaped into a bowl and spooning it

out. Immediately his upper body is cooling down. Bottom of feet

are itchy.

Nothing is hurting except the itch is what he is complaining about.
