Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Suzanne, are you taking any probiotics? I take two and I take Minocin and Biaxin on alternate days. Eva From: Zannie <zannie68@...> Subject: rheumatic Getting back on antibiotics rheumatic Date: Friday, February 25, 2011, 7:56 AM Â Hello everyone, After a long, agonizing, depressing winter, I have decided to get back on minocin! I have resisted getting back on them due to the fact that they cause imbalanced gut flora that can lead to candida. Minocin worked for me back in 03 and I went into a 5 year remission. I am hoping I can achieve remission again. I finally found a doctor who was willing to prescribe the minocin, yeah! And he seems very willing to help me get back on my feet. Amy, your posts have been so encouraging. I am so glad you have the use of your hands again and are feeling better. I am glad I have this group to lean on for support. Thanks for being there everyone. Sincerely, Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi Eva, Yes, I am taking probiotics. Thanks for asking. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a probiotic. Right now, I am using HMF Powder by Unda and L.acidophilus by Nature's Sunshine. I need to find some other probiotics that work so I can rotate them. Thanks everyone!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I like NOW brand’s Probiotic-10, 50 billion strength. It has 10 probiotic strains and is dairy, wheat and gluten free. I wish I could find a larger size, so far only a 50 vegicap-size. They also make the product in 25 billion strength.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Suzanne, What do you rotate? I'm taking a multi probiotic. Because of RA, I have been off dairy, but my body is wanting kefir. We have a woman locally who makes/sell kefir with raw goat or cows milk, so want to start taking this. She also has water kefir, but I don't know much about it.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi everybody, Someone had mentioned using Borax to shampoo hair because of itchy scalp. I tried it and it feels like shampooing my hair with water - there's no lather. Has anyone else tried this ? Is there supposed to be lather ? I mixed it per directions on Hulda . Thank you.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I use Boric Acid in all the cracks and crevices around the inner perimeter of  my house to keep crawling pests away. It works great for that. I never heard of using Borax on the scalp.? Is it toxic? Is Borax and Boric Acid one and the same or different? Dolores From: Gorrill <sgorrill@...> Subject: Re: rheumatic Re: Getting back on antibiotics rheumatic Date: Monday, February 28, 2011, 1:49 PM  Hi everybody, Someone had mentioned using Borax to shampoo hair because of itchy scalp.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 A<<< Hi , That would have been me. I have used borax to shampoo my hair, followed by a citric acid rinse. There will be no lather. Just squeaky clean hair and itch free scalp. Suzanne > > Hi everybody, > Someone had mentioned using Borax to shampoo hair because of itchy scalp.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi Sally, I just wonder if a probiotic can become ineffective after one takes it for a long period of time and if switching it up would help. Just a thought. I used to drink kefir. But I don't think my stomach could handle milk kefir right now. I have never tried water kefir. You'll have to let us know how that is.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi Suzanne, I bought them at MotherNature.com. They had the best prices at the time; i.e., 50 capsules, 50 billion, $28.86. The 25 billion strength cost $17.31.
