Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 Happening a little bit too often with us though I'm afraid , we got alot of UN sanction busting rogue traders out here who don't recognise bloody great big bits of metal sticking out of the sea, they'd rather use us as cover to get past the navy and slip into Iraq and the like. Then when it all goes belly up on them abandon ship and sod off to leave others to clear up the mess.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 Yes, Pam, nitro glycerin gave me violent headaches too. I was first given nitro when they were checking my heart. They wanted to rule out the possibility that the spasms were heart attacks. They did the pain no good but my head pounded for hours. After my dilation the grasto guy gave me a prescription for nitro. I told him about the headaches and he said the headaches should not last but a few minutes. Mine did, they lasted for hours and I never had that prescription filled. I still have it and may have to resort to trying it again someday, but right now my spasms are of short duration so I am holding off.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 Hi Pam, Ohhh yes, they gave me " big time " headaches and did absolutely nothing for the spasms. The esophagus is such a strong muscle, and I think a lot of G.I. Doctors can't understand that, so they treat it like it's another muscle. -- >>> kpdthresher@... 12/02/01 03:16PM >>> Hi, One comment.

You will learn from me that antibiotics just suppress and drive whatever is wrong deeper. Health is not about getting rid of bugs - its making yourself healthier so bugs don't want you - you are nto susceptible. I'll be starting another homeopathy internet class in January - you may want to take it. Rarely does ANYONE need antibitics other than in life/death situation. It used to be said that a strep throat goes away in 7 days with antibiotics and takes a week without them (or was that ear infections - can't remember) Same thing! Kick the antibiotic habit. You are only weakening your immune system.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 wouldn't it depend on how bad the infection is? how about treating it herbally?

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 Now, I treat things herbally, but does not....I just don't really know the answer to her question, because we do take care of things without antibiotics..

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 , I have to say I have found any colds or upset tummys or sore throats etc. take a little bit longer when taking Vitamin C, zinc, Echinacea and garlic to help the body than with antibiotics, not a week longer in our case though. I would much rather the icky thing take a day or so longer than take drugs just so it will SEEM as though it has gone quicker when it has probably just gone back into the body and will appear again as something else, maybe even something nastier. Antibiotics suppress the immune system - don't take em!!! And I personally feel so much healthier and stronger since switching to Vitamins, homeopathy, herbals and EO's to help my body with whatever is going on at the time!!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2001 Report Share Posted December 8, 2001 Sheri, I was wondering: I had to take a 7-day course of antibiotics two weeks ago because I'd been caughing for some five weeks, with also some asthma associated with it. (Diagnostic: asthmatic bronchitis.) None of my usual " tricks " worked. (Vit. C, Oscillo., etc) Being pregnant (31 weeks), the OB suggested that my immune system was down, to avoid fighting off the presence of the baby, and that it was important to kill the bug so I would be in better shape for the baby. The antibio did kill whatever I had within days and the asthma disappeared also. Do you think the same reasonning should have applied then? (I should have just waited?) Just wondering what your thoughts are. in Va. > From: Sheri Nakken <vaccineinfo@...> > Reply-Vaccinations > Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 15:43:15 +0000 > Vaccinations > Subject: Re: (unknown) > > Every person is different.
