Re:surgery and antibiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I too am going in for a minor surgery myself and it is my understanding that I

can request not to receive the antibiotics and sign off on a waiver. (I have yet

to confirm this with my doctor)

I'm looking into some herbs with antibiotic properties instead.

I too would like to hear what others have done.

Thanks for the info Bee.

I don't tolerate aspirin (horrible rash) so I am guessing that white willow

bark might be a risky venture for me too. Not sure if the salicin is the

agitating factor or what. Any thoughts on this? I have pretty nasty reactions

to a few plants, trees and herbs whether they are in my supplements, skin

products, in my garden or on my plate!

Also, what purpose does the parsley tea serve?

==>It is obvious your immune system is depressed because of your

reactions.

Rashes are simply evidence of toxins coming out through the skin,

which is a healing reaction. They are not allergies. Good

unadulterated herbs, spices, and foods will create such reactions. So

it is not a bad sign. Start with small amounts and gradually increase

them to minimize healing reactions. White willow bark does not create

the same reactions as aspirin - it's nature's pain killer, not the

drug industry's. LOL!

==>Many purposes; check on the internet for benefits.
