Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Has anyone seen a regression with ery-ped. It almost is like a die-off, getting visually stimmy and more tv talk. I was wondering if its a good sign for good things to come after the intial phase. thks Kavita Re: diet/medication Hi , YES...definitely saw a down-slide with antifungal switch. My son had been on Nizoral for " quite some time. " Every time Dr G mentioned switching, I would also say it seems he does really well on Nizoral, and he said it does have some extra neuro-immune benefits so we would extend a little longer. We switched to Diflucan and it was almost immediately recognized.. ..he had lower appetite and a general down- slide in overall health and energy. And yes definitely dark circles. We reported this to Dr G and he told us to try IMGG. He had his 1st shot last Saturday. Seriously, starting Monday afternoon, we have seen such a " pop " in him...more energy, more motivation, more fluent language...we keep saying " has to be the shot " He still has 2 more shots to go, one in 2 weeks, and then the 3rd 3 weeks after that one. Another thought on allergies (sorry this is getting so long). We realized earlier in the summer that allergies were a big problem with our family this year. I realized I actually felt better about 5 minutes after I was out of my house. After alot of research and consultations this summer we have learned 2 very imporatnt things: 1) our home Indoor Air Quality is terrible because we have the home so locked up we never get fresh air in the house. We are adding *filtered* ventilation to our home to make the indoor pollutants less concentrated. And 2) our air conditioner coil is a mess, you can smell it actually. The company rep has told us it is growing bacteria, it needs to be replaced, and then we need to clean it 2-3 times per season going forward. I tell you this because in our case I am starting to beleive our indoor issues (as well as the ones at with air quality at school) are as big of a problem as pollens. Whew, sorry I went off!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Lynn I take it all at once but take the probiotic on empty stomach it works the best. Sometimes you just cant help it. But try. Take probiotic and then eat something and take the antibiotic. Yes I would take probiotic everyday and up the dose with antibotic that's what Dr. Feng said to do today. Because I was concern about taking antibiotic period. In a message dated 2/9/2008 12:50:21 A.M.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 > > Hi, I haven't written for a while but have a dilemma. I have been doing really well with the program but at the moment have a UTI I can't seem to get rid of - I have tried bicarb soda in water, parsley tea, nettle tea but every second day it comes back. I am getting closer to resorting to antibiotics as much as I don't want to - any ideas?? How far will it set me back if I take them? ==>Sophie, all antibiotics are toxic/poison that will make your candida grow more and they depressed the immune system. Natural treatments are much more effective without doing damage to your body. If you have had any UTI in the past your body will be retracing it in order to clear out previous toxins/drugs and to rebuild it like it should be. Treatment has be given enough time to work. I recommend fresh parsley tea per my UTI article: " Parsley tea is a very good treatment for UTI, especially for candida sufferers who cannot yet tolerate high amounts of garlic. Parsley tea has been a used traditionally to treat urinary tract infection, kidney stones and liver, bladder and prostrate problems. The Cherokee Indians, who learned of its medicinal value from the settlers, drank parsley tea for kidney and bladder pain, and dropsy (edema, or water retention). Culpepper's Complete Herbal & English Physician book states: " that using the whole plant is best, including the root, and when it is fresh gathered. A strong infusion cleanses the kidneys and the urinary passages in a short time. It is likewise good in jaundice, and other complaints arising from obstructions of the liver. It is also helpful for gas, in both the stomach and the bowels. " It is best to use fresh parsley, including the stems, to make a tea. But if you can get the roots as well it will make the treatment even more potent and helpful. Drink 4 cups per day for 7 days to cure urinary tract infection. Your symptoms will greatly decrease after 3 days, but continue for 4 more days. " Therefore use whole fresh parsley, including the stems, and drink at least 4 cups per day for 7 days. My sister is a nurse, and she said parsley tea did a better job than antibiotics, but she drank it the full 7 days. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 > My son got an ear infection about 4 days ago (he was at the point of screaming in pain). I put in on antibiotics for the second time in his life (I was terrified because I have read in other posts to avoid this at all costs). His eye contact has been amazing and he is doing really well. He actually requested medicine. Is this a clue into something>? What can I do to keep this great effect going? Try giving OLE or other natural anti-bacterial.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi, Deb! I used Sulfasalazine for psoriatic arthritis over the course of about 10 years between pregnancies. It usually took at least two months for it to start working, but it did a decent job of keeping my arthritis in check until I was expecting again. Now my youngest child is 4, and I was diagnosed with RA and Fibromyalgia in addition to the PA about two years ago. I tried going back on the sulfa, but this time, I seemed to have a reaction to it. It wasn't anything horrid. I just ran a constant 100 degree " mini " fever and had a constant mild sore throat. The doc wasn't even sure it was related, but when I dropped the sulfa, the symptoms disappeared. (I'd had them for a couple of months.) Then, I went about another year with no disease modifiers because everything else seemed too toxic. (I don't use birth control, so I hesitate using really toxic drugs.) Finally, I learned about the antibiotic protocol. It has taken a couple of months (including a fairly miserable herxheimer reaction), but I am now on the upswing and feeling so much better. Let me know if you have other questions. Blessings! Terri _____ From: rheumatic [mailto:rheumatic ] On Behalf Of deb gilford Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 2:10 PM rheumatic Subject: rheumatic antibiotics Hi, I'm new to the group.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Why would you take an antibiotic if you are trying to get rid of candida? Antibiotics are horrible for you and destroy the good bacteria in your gut. Stay away from them if possible and take some probiotics to build up your good bacteria and help your immune system. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yogurt is ok, but what i would do is give her a good probiotics like the one i'm giving my 2 year old son because he is under antibiotics right now/ What we use is Nature Sunshine's Probiotic Eleven which has 6 billion counts of beneficial bacteria that your daughter needs to replenish her gastrointestinal flora which is so needed to absorb the nutrients food has to offer. You can use Grapefruit Seed Extract or Olive Leaf Extract while on the antibiotics because they act as natural antifungals fighting the yeast that comes after a round of antibiotics. Beware though if your daughter has phenol sensitivities in which case using Grapeseed Extract may be problematic. From: cward_ri <cward_ri@...> Subject: antibiotics Date: Friday, October 30, 2009, 10:49 AM  My daughter, 9, has to go on antibiotics for a UTI. What should I give her to help keep the good bacteria? Is yogurt okay or do I need something stronger? Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ok i have another possibly stupid question but dont know who else to ask. I have two nasty parasites, blastocystis hominis and d fragilis or something like that. These parasites are nasty and can apparently cause damage to all organs if not gotten soon enough, much the same as mould can. The treatment is to take 4 antibiotics for 10 days which seems real extreme but they are real hard to get rid of. My main conern is that being mould sensitive i may not handle antibiotics?? Once we are messed up with mould are antibiotics a bad idea? I have to avoid carbs and all fermented foods, moulds and fungul foods obviously. On the other hand bugs might be contributing to my poor digestion, inflammation and poor health and perhaps i will heal faster with them gone. Its another complication that i just dont need.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Wow, why did your doc test you for parasites? That's not that common of a test. I mean, docs don't generally test for parasites, not my docs anyway. Antibiotics have been discussed before (you can do a search of archives). I have been on a few in the last several months. My feeling is that if the choice is between letting parasites, which you know you have, and taking antibiotics, which you won't know the effect of until you take them, choose to get rid if the parasites. But dint blame me if you take my advice and it doesn't work out. Remember too that not everything is a result of mold--I've always experienced side effects with antibiotics and I always will--not because of mold, but because those meds have side effects and I'm sensitive to meds in general.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Doc had me tested as ive had a lot of extreme gastrointesrinal symptoms for years and i have mcs. He says these type of parasites are common with mcs. The parasites can do a major number on the systemnasnwell,neffecting all organs. Mcs specialist that i saw disagrees that i should take the drugs, says im too weak what with the mcs and mold etc, says i shpuld try and make a safe room and detoxify a bit first. However avoiding chems with having to move and leave all my chemical free clothing and bedding has been hard and im getting worse mcs wise even though my mold exposures are lower. The parasitesnare extremeky hard to detect. There were 6 stool samples sent to one lab and 2 to another. > > Wow, why did your doc test you for parasites? That's not that common of a test.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Antibiotics kill all bacteria, good and bad. Those good bacteria help digest food, utilize the vitamins in them and help protect our bodies against invaders (germs and viruses) and also keep the balance of good/bad yeast under control in our gut. Kill those bacteria and the balance in the gut gets out of control, bad yeasts can get out of balance and damage both our gut lining and eventually stress our immune systems and cause systemic inflammation yeast infections, etc. A good probiotic taken a couple of weeks after antibiotics is a great way to replace those good gut " bugs " and help restore that balance. nancy j.

IF THESE REACTIONS OCCUR, MACROBID SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED AND APPROPRIATE MEASURES TAKEN. REPORTS HAVE CITED PULMONARY REACTIONS AS A CONTRIBUTING CAUSE OF DEATH. > > CHRONIC PULMONARY REACTIONS (DIFFUSE INTERSTITIAL PNEUMONITIS OR PULMONARY FIBROSIS, OR BOTH) CAN DEVELOP INSIDIOUSLY. THESE REACTIONS OCCUR RARELY AND GENERALLY IN PATIENTS RECEIVING THERAPY FOR SIX MONTHS OR LONGER. CLOSE MONITORING OF THE PULMONARY CONDITION OF PATIENTS RECEIVING LONG-TERM THERAPY IS WARRANTED AND REQUIRES THAT THE BENEFITS OF THERAPY BE WEIGHED AGAINST POTENTIAL RISKS. http://www.rxlist.com/macrobid-drug.htm# > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
