[Guest guest]

Hi Vesna,

Sorry to hear what is happening now.Please see this link :

isk-of-sudden-death.html?smid=fb-share

Please ask DrG about the use of this antibioitcs Azythromycin urgently..The

resEarch says it causes sudden death.

I think antiviral therapy is quite risky, DRG is recommending it to me even

nothing shows on the test results but I don't think I will take this

risk.Perhaps you can stop slowly all of these and see what happens (ofcourse you

need to discuss this with DrG, but it is your decision)You are not sure whether

the treatment is helpful or not,you have more worries now, I feel.But please

give a big concern for this antibiotics..

Warmly

nevin

Nevin the azithromycin isn't anti viral surely. It's anti bacterial?

Azithromycin is very routinely prescribed in the UK - just not for autism!

It's prescribed as an anti biotic and also as an anti inflammatory (or rather as

an anti biotic with anti inflammatory action). I would be able to get it

prescribed for my sarcoid, for example, and for strep but only one week at a

time.

I'm not saying it's safe or unsafe but I don't think it's an anti viral.
