Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 a Penicillin VK is not a beta lactam antibiotic so the effect that you were being lead to believe that it may be having, can't be the case.. Amoxacillin may distribute better and in different parts of the head so it may be worth alternating- go the name brands as they distribute better and give more bang for the gram IMO.. also with the added benefits of bactrim you may make a dent in your head. --- In infections , " pjeanneus " <pj7@...> wrote: > > My lab test done in March of 2004 showed staph emidermidis in my nose > susceptible to clindamycin, gentamicin, rifampin, > trimethoprim/sulfamethaoxazole and vancomycin. > > So should I get my good doctor to prescribe one or more of the above? > > a Carnes > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Penicillin VK's membership in the beta-lactam class is easily verified by a web search. Here is a journal article whose title identifies penicillin VK as a beta-lactam antibiotic: http://tinyurl.com/2cq82n > > a > Penicillin VK is not a beta lactam antibiotic so the effect that you > were being lead to believe that it may be having, can't be the case..

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Tony, Penicillin is one of the few drugs that seems to consistently help me, although it doesn't take care of the big bug in my head. Last time I took Bactrim, unfortunately, it made me hallucinate. Cipro, on the other hand, continues to keep my head more clear than anything else I try. I can't go off of it for even a day, without the sinus bug flaring back up, so I'm dealing with the cipro/tendon issues as best I can. I have sometimes wondered if I should try bactrim again, right now it would be good to get a break from the Cipro, but the hallucinating scares me. penny dumbaussie2000 <dumbaussie2000@...> wrote: aPenicillin VK is not a beta lactam antibiotic so the effect that you were being lead to believe that it may be having, can't be the case..Amoxacillin may distribute better and in different parts of the head so it may be worth alternating- go the name brands as they distribute better and give more bang for the gram IMO.. also with the added benefits of bactrim you may make a dent in your head.>> My lab test done in March of 2004 showed staph emidermidis in my nose > susceptible to clindamycin, gentamicin, rifampin, > trimethoprim/sulfamethaoxazole and vancomycin.> > So should I get my good doctor to prescribe one or more of the above?> > a Carnes> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I should have said pencillin VK, and also that while I don't seem to get huge benefits from the penicillin vk, if I stop taking it the Cipro doesn't seem to work as well. pennyPenny Houle <pennyhoule@...> wrote: Tony, Penicillin is one of the few drugs that seems to consistently help me, although it doesn't take care of the big bug in my head.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Matt Isn't the beta lactam class of antibiotics targeting resistant bacteria that produce beta lactamase to resist the drugs.. tony > > > > a > > Penicillin VK is not a beta lactam antibiotic so the effect that you > > were being lead to believe that it may be having, can't be the case.. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I'm not sure why you are asking this. If a bacterium expresses beta lactamase, then it will be resistant to the beta lactam antibiotics. That's not germane to your original point. You were responding to my post on CFSexperimental regarding glutamate toxicity. I'd said that it was possible for penicillin VK to, wholly independent of its effects on bacteria, relieve glutamate toxicity, since the Nature paper had reported the ability of beta lactam antibiotics to do this. You said that this could not be the case for a since penicillin VK is not in the beta lactam class. I was correcting you with regards to penicillin VK's membership in the beta lactam class. Just as some adverse events are not " herx " , positive responses are not necessarily due to die-off. Not when the data provide other explanations. a's response to VK may well be due to a die-off of pathogens. I offered an alternate scenario, since she asked me for one. I'm not advocating for one interpretation over another. > > > > > > a > > > Penicillin VK is not a beta lactam antibiotic so the effect that > you > > > were being lead to believe that it may be having, can't be the > case.. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Matt I realised along time ago that the literature, that your so big on, isn't worth the paper it's written on most of the time.I can't really see anyone putting in penicillin and it having a reduction in toxicity not an effect on the trillion organisms that are part of the human body. > > > > > > > > a > > > > Penicillin VK is not a beta lactam antibiotic so the effect > that > > you > > > > were being lead to believe that it may be having, can't be the > > case.. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Penny you get relief often even from the communication cycle being broken down by these drugs..as you can see there's alot of things on offer to attack this communication, even though no-one realise what is truly going on.Having an attack plan to see the numbers keeping on going down while the body keeps repairing is the only thing anyone can do IMO. > > > > My lab test done in March of 2004 showed staph emidermidis in my nose > > susceptible to clindamycin, gentamicin, rifampin, > > trimethoprim/sulfamethaoxazole and vancomycin. > > > > So should I get my good doctor to prescribe one or more of the above? > > > > a Carnes > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
