Re: my current regimen - revised and summarized

[Guest guest]

For clarity, here's the basis of what I'm currently doing:

Drug Regimen:

-Benicar - 80mg per day

-Penicillin VK - 1 to 2 grams per day (Sometimes adding

Zithromax.)

-V-fend - 400mg per day

Nutrition: (for detox and deficiencies)

- " BioPure " Chlorella (for detox - love this stuff, can eat it like

candy. I would take charcoal but timing with other drugs too

difficult)

-Magnesium

-Vitamin C (also good for detox and as an antioxidant)

-B vitamins (based on my spectracell testing)

-Vitamin D

-Candex intermittently (enzymes for gut)

-Antioxidants intermittently

-nattokinase for hypercoagulation

-electrolytes - I'm still trying to figure out how to best address

my electrolyte balance, as I think this is also important.

-dental/sinus hygeine - I also think that we need to keep our mouths

(and sinuses) as clean as possible. I use a salt based tooth paste

(or some other antimicrobial tooth paste), as well as antimicrobial

sinus rinses. You can add H202 or silver or many other

antimicrobials to your dental rinses. I personally add miniscule

amounts of bleach to the water, and my dentist has no problem with

it, since he's quite familiar with using bleach in dental

procedures. Betadine (iodine) is also recommended by the Stanford

Docs for dealing with entrenched sinus infections.

-vascular/coagulation/heart health - I think this is really

important area to consider when tackling this disease.

-testing. I really recommend getting the most information you

possibly can and to keep track of any changes, up or down. I found

the SpectraCell testing (paid by insurance) to be very helpful in

defining my nutritional deficiencies and saves me a lot of money on

supplements. And CT scans of my sinuses and jaw were major eye

openers. I'm also going to a cardiologist in January to look at a

possible heart/vascular connection to the chronic nature of my

illness. Regular testing as some kind of road map of where we are is

really important.
