Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I had the same problem with Source Naturals Mega Strength beta sitosterol tablets. Two Vitaminshope tablets with about 2/3 the dose were more effective. Not to mention the Source Naturals are horse pills with sharp edges that are very difficult for me to swallow. But I've been interest in finding a capsule form because I have such difficulties swallowing pills of any kind anyway. But none of the sources I use buy supplements from carry Pharmax. Could you tell me where you get it from? lindaj@... NT Factor and detox & cholstyermaine etc > I agree with everything you say.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I have staph in my sinuses and intestinal tract. Not so easy to reach with heat. From what I've read, it takes temperatures in excess of 115 degrees in order to just inhibit growth and toxin production of staph, and higher temperatures than that to kill it. I think the killing temperatures are hot enough to scald. And temperatures in excess of boiling don't break down the toxins it produces. Since heating me up internally sufficiently to kill the staph in my intestinal tract would also kill me, or cause serious brain damage and organ damage just from the heat, and killing all the staph all at once would be necessary to prevent it from recolonizing itself, and killing it all at once would produce enough toxins to probably kill me anyway, and since they're opportunistic, and since I have a host of other problems that are underlying factors, and since it would probably be impossible for me to attain sufficient heat through the sauna that I'm currently using anyway... Well, you get the picture. Next time I order from iherb, I'll check out the NOW brand beta sitosterol. Do you have a web site for the Medicine Man? lindaj@...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Don't think Medicine Man has a website but Pharmax does. I posted in past M.M.'s phone # but will try to dig it up if you can't find it. > I have staph in my sinuses and intestinal tract.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I can relate to that. These things are hard to kill. Have you tried Xylitol? Is supposed to keep the bacteria from being able to adhere to the membranes and they cannot grow. I heard some people who used it. I have been trying grapefruitseed extract in my Grossan irrigator, but I am not convinced yet. Doris ----- Original Message ----- From: I have staph in my sinuses and intestinal tract.
