How does ozone work w/ amalgam fillings (mercury toxicity). I noticed you

said it oxidizes

heavy metals.

Hi Patty,

Oxidized metals are generally pretty stable, and will be eliminated

in due course. I'd recommend cold-processed whey and selenium as

glutathione precursors to escort organic mercury and aluminum for

exapmle. It takes two molecules of glutathione to escortmeccury,

three for aluminum.

From what I understand about ozone is no one knows for sure that heavy metal

are really being oxidized, (no proof) its really hard to prove from my

understanding. The authority's of ozone believe it is being oxidized.

I have 3 friends who have all had cellulitis, and all three were in the

hospital on antibiotic IVs. It can be very dangerous. I'm not a doctor, but I

would take the meds. You certainly don't want to let this get out of contorl.

[Guest guest]

yes the iv meds is wonderful to prevent and treat the bite..... I have a

friend who use the Tahiti noni Juice for virtually everything. She put it in

the wound of a brown recluse spider bite and after 2 days the wound was

healing nicely, this was after the wound was beginning to decompose in the

area of the bite

Hey

I had cellulitis a number of times while I was on Enbrel. I was

hospitalized once and on IV antibiotics in the doctor's office for a

few hours another time. Most of the time you can treat it more

easily if you catch it early. As long as you have the antibiotics, I

wouldn't worry about it. The only time to worry is if the red keeps

spreading, or especially if it spread in a line. That's really

important, because if it does it means it's gotten into the

lymphatic system and she needs heavier treatment. (The doctor may

have drawn a line around the red area; if not, you may want to, to

see if it has spread or gotten better). The cellulitis definitely

hurts; bad cases feel very swollen and hot to the touch, and fairly

painful, whereas a lighter case may just be red, slightly warm, and

uncomfortable. It's hard to gauge how a 3-year-old is feeling, I

know. Basically, with the treatment you are receiving, don't worry

unless your daughter gets a fever or the redness spreads like I

mentioned.

Good luck, and hope Emma feels better!

I hope this doesn't post twice - I messed up and am starting over.

Thank you Elisheva and e for your responses. The Dr. did draw

a big circle around the effected area and it seems to be a bit better

this morning. The swelling is nearly gone completely. I am off to

give my girlies a bath and I hope it doesn't wash off.

Also, thanks Elisheva for posting the address of your weblog. I

enjoyed reading it.

Ok. So now all this Cellulitis talk has me paranoid. Caroline has an

enormous bug bite on her cheek. It's very hard and has no visable core?

Shouild we take her in?

Alia - I am the original poster about this topic ( recently anyway).

Emma had two mosquito bites but the rash was completely around both

and down to her ankle. It was about the size of my hand. It

reminded me of the skin poison I get from being in the sun- but there

was also visible swelling. I would not be too concerned if it is

just a bite. Emma's looked very odd and distinctive. You might call

or go in to get peace of mind. Best of luck.

Emma is three and on the small side so a rash the size of my hand on

her calf and thigh was quite noticable.

I wonder if those who responded last time might give me an idea about

how long this takes to resolve. I can still see about a tennis ball

size circle of " rash " and she should be done with her antibiotic on

Friday. I cancelled her follow up appt. for last Friday b/c it was

healing rather quickly and now I regret it. Thanks again!

I have RA. In 1996, I had cellulitis just above my left ankle. I could see the

red line moving up my leg by the hour.

In Dec. 2003, I dropped my Microsoft Optical rat on my left foot. I developed a

very deep ulcer with cellulitis. After many different antibiotics, I got that

cleared. I still have the ulcer:-((

Cellulitis is nothing to ignore, quite serious.

Dear ,

Were you taking immune suppressing drugs when you got cellulitis? I know my

brother is taking methotrexate and interferonB and prednisone. I am wondering

if drugs like methotrexate and remicade make one more susceptible to cellulitis.

Thank you,

Gloria

Tammy, hi,

I had this on one foot following a car accident. I also had a major

infection with it. I was hospitalized and had 2 weeks of an antibiotic

IV - Rocephin, once I returned home, I still had to receive daily

injections of another anti-biotic, then finally to oral antibiotics. It

took about 6 months for all this and my foot to heal where it had been

cut. However, I never had swelling or circulation problems. Being

hospitalized and receiving the antibiotics was a good thing that

stopped the infection, kept me off my foot, and allowed the healing to

begin.

Dear HippeeSandee

The Cellulitis is a whole nother animal. It is an infection not just fluid

retention. It can in fact advance to renal shutdown and systemic sepsis and

death. If you suspect it is real cellulitis this person needs to see a

doctor asap.

[Guest guest]

Jane, I have the cellulitis too.It's been about 5 years of treating

it with antibiotics in gel for that I put on a couple of times a

day.I have noticed when my ReA has a flare,the cellulitis gets

worse.Dr thinks I am crazy,but I have gone in to show him when it is

worse.He then gives me a different ointment to try when it gets that

bad.All I know is that it is a pain,as this whole thing is.Today Dr

gave me a steroid injection,and I have nuropothy in my feet and

hands,and that injection has been making my feet and hands scream.But

it did make my eyes and interstitiial cystitis feel better.I am

hoping it will make the cellulitis calm down a bit.Good luck with

treating yours.I have come to excpect surprises all the time.Bless

you. D. in Oregon-

Hi Donna,

I wasn't sure if I remembered exactly what cellulitis was, so I looked it up

and here is what I found.

The intent of cellulitis treatment is to decrease the severity of the infection,

speed up recovery, relieve pain and other symptoms, heal the skin, and prevent

the infection from coming back. Antibiotics are usually used to treat

cellulitis. If the infection is limited to a small area, has not spread to the

bloodstream or lymph system, and you don't have any other medical problems,

antibiotics you take by mouth (oral) are effective. If the infection is more

widespread, or if you're having a slow recovery on oral antibiotics, antibiotics

may be used intravenously (IV) or by injection. For cellulitis of the leg or

arm, treatment also includes elevating the limb to reduce swelling.

I also saw a story about a woman who had an insect bite between her toes and

developed cellulitis. I hope you are not laid up too long and can get back to

normal again. I have to remember that what is normal for us is not the same as

everyone else. LOL. When are you going back to MDACC? I hope you have advance

reservations, they are swamped. Would be nice to see you again.

Blessings, xoxox

Thank you Lori

I was actually given IV Flagil right before my emergency surgery to get my

intestines untangled and my appendix out in May 08.

You should've seen the CT scan. My lower GI looked like a huge bow shape. It

reminded me of when people wrap an extension cord or rope around thier elbow and

hand in an oval shaped coil and then twisted the coiled up mass into a figure 8

shape.

After I finally got a look at the scan I was like - no wonder that f-ing hurt!

When she was about 27 and living in an apartment an hour away which

she shared with another woman with DD, I was supposed to pick up Jan and

bring her home so we could all go to a DS convention in Washington. The

day before she complained that her leg hurt, but I gave her the advice

to go on the bike outing anyway. She didn't, which was a correct decision.

When I showed up, she had a badly swollen leg with what looked like a

tiny bite in the center. We were in the ER within the hour and she was

admitted with a preliminary diagnosis of cellulitis. In spite of

antibiodics it got worse and opened up into a large sore. The doctors

were worried that it was a serious infection down at the bone level,

which can be fatal in not taken care of, so exploratory surgery was

tried. This only enlarged the wound which simply wouldn't heal.

About a month into this, with Jan taking all the pain like a trooper, it

was diagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosam, an extremely rare auto-immune

disease which is diagnosed by ruling everything else out. That defined

the problem, but this was also considered incurable, but there were

reports of some successful treatments using thalidomide. Try getting

that medication for a young woman of child bearing age.

Well, for the same reasons that this as a very biologically active

medicine, it did eventually cure the PG, but she is left with a large

scar on the front of her leg. I've a huge scar on my leg so that took

some of that trauma away. She came out of the hospital three months

after she went in to bed rest and changing dressings several times a

day. Still, before long she was back to walking .. first across the

room and soon to the door, to the end of the drive, and very shortly the

mile plus to the end of our street and back.

That therapy got repeated multiple times over the next five years as she

went through a whole series of life threatening events, starting with

AML and eventually finishing with a bone marrow transplant. We still

use hiking, particularly up and down hills, to keep fit and help her

maintain her weight.

PG is very rare and even rarer in children, so one would presume it is

unlikely with children who have down syndrome. It is rare enough that

Janet was transported to Yale Hospital for a lecture and presentation on

the disease there.
