Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Incidentally, FYI fungal infections of the blood can be very severe and lead to life threatening complications: http://www.anaesthetist.com/icu/infect/fungi/Findex.htm#serious.htm. As far as the CSM, I am still confused but getting there I think even though I am familiar with it because my grandfather was on it when I was taking care of him. There are side-effects that many people may find uncomfortable. " gastrointestinal problems, constipation along with nausea and bloating, inhibited absorption of of various fat- soluble vitamins like A, K, and D which can lead to night blindness, prolonged or unusual bleeding and bruising, an increase in triglycerides, and osteoporosis. The drug can also cause severe reactions when used with other families of drugs including blood thinners, thyroid hormones, diabetes, and heart medications. " I would think that improving nutritional status would be to improve the detoxification system would be better than using medication. Especially considering that with the problems of EI contributing to problems of acid/base balance, we are already at risk for mineral and bone depletion. Also, since CSM is also a cholesterol inhibitor, what kinds of problems does it cause in people with normal cholesterol levels??? Kim Health Education Information and Resource Services kkramer@...
