Re: Penny's current protocol?!?!

[Guest guest]

,

As you know, I'm a big believer that everyone needs to tailor their

abx protocols to their own needs and bugs, BUT it does seem that

some drugs tend to work better generally than others for our

conditions, if we can tolerate them.

I'm currently taking Zithromax, 250 per day, and penicillin VK 1,000

mg per day. I WAS taking Diflucan, 200 mg per day, which I think had

a big effect on my energy levels, but my insurance won't pay for it.

I only get 10 per month now and I didn't have any for most of the

month of July. I'd be happier if I could get more diflucan though,

but still, I'm sustaining my increased energy levels with the 10 and

my liver and kidney's are doing great as well.

I'm also taking Benicar, 80mg per day (reduced from 160mg initially).

Supplement wise, I take B vitamins, magnesium, some protandem

(antioxidant precursor - I tested low on antioxidants in the

spectracell test). I load up on C sometimes. I sporadically take a

greens product called " Super Food " .

My spectra cell recommendations were to start taking zinc, D and

asparagine (whatever that is) along with increased amounts of B12,

B2 and pantothenic acid. That's actually better than I've had in the

past, where I tested defecient in just about everything.

My blood tests still show my red and white blood counts on the low

side, and my homocysteine and CRP and cholesterol very high.

I've also recently started taking some Tibetan Meds, which

apparently address the blood, toxins, immune function, along with

one really powerful antibiotic combo. But I can't tell yet if these

are having any major effect. I am feeling very good though, where

normally after having been away for a month, especially under the

kind of extreme conditions I was living (for me) I would crash for

weeks, perhaps months, once I got home, but this time I came home,

had a day or two of being tired, and am back on my feet. Yesterday,

I cleaned out my entire closet. I've been making phone calls, taking

care of things. This probalby doesn't sound like much to a non pwc,

but to me, it's a very big deal.

No, I'm not taking glutathione. I did i.v. glutathione in the past,

and didn't notice anything. However, according to Rich's research,

that's probably not the best way to take it. My spectracell tests

showed my glutathione to be fine, however it's probably possible

that glutathione can be depleted and not show up in this test.

My doc has given me a prescript for flagyl, that I haven't started

yet. So I'm going to play with that a bit, see what happens.

Honestly, I think the Zithromax very slowly started getting me on my

feet, energy and cognition wise. Then the Diflucan gave me a big

energy boost. And now the Penicillin really seems to be doing the

job. Plus the benicar has reduced my inflammation considerably. This

is definitely the best combo I've done, especially because there are

no apparent side effects, AND because they don't seem to be losing

their effectiveness as quickly as some of the other successful drugs

I've taken. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that I can

maintain this and continue improving.
