Cosima,

First let's get your mail down to a manageble level.

If you'll set your group settings to " Daily Digest "

the messages will be grouped into bunches of about 25

messages . . . You can scan down the titles as well as

messages to those you are interested in. Saves a lot

of time!

We have a lot of information in the archives that I

think you will benefit from . . . Go the group by

clicking on " " at the bottom of this

message . . . then go to " Files " or " Links " . . . That

should give you access to a ton of information.

Unfortunately there still is a lot to wade through.

But, it's important that you learn as much as

possible!

Now . . . as to your need for medication and inability

to afford it. . . For your long term needs, each drug

company has a program set up to provide medications

free of cost to those who can't afford them. You will

need to know the manufacturer of the medication. You

can fill out the forms on line. I think your doctor

may need to sign them.

For your immediate needs, there may be ways to handle

your problem inexensively . . . Raw, crushed, fresh

garlic is absolutely amazing! .. . . It's a natural

antibiotic, antifungal and antioxident. One of natures

most amazing foods. You can put it on foods, eat it

whole (crush it before swallowing, or scrape it from

the garlic press into an empty gel cap. You get gel

caps from a formulating pharmacy (usually a non-chain

pharmacy). A theraputic dose is as many as 12 cloves a

day. You should start seeing improvement in 24 hours.

This should help you with infection . . . Then you

need to follow this up by putting beneficial bacteria

back in your body. This can be done with Acidopholis

(buy from the refrigerated section of a health food

store) and by eating yogurt, keflir, sauerkraut -

there's a recipe for making your own in the archives -

or I'll send one to you. We recommend Fungal Defense

and Primal Defense . . . but both of these can get

expensive. There are other products like grapefruit

seed extract, Oil of Oregano, Olive Leaf extract, etc.

that work well too . . . You will need to decide what

you want to try. We've all tried a number of products

before finding what works for us.

To make all this work, you need to ELIMINATE sugar and

refined grains from your diet. NO processed foods! . .

.. Eliminate as many chemicals from your diet and

environment as possible.

Dr. Kolb wants your liver function tested because the

die-off of fungal organisms produces a toxic byproduct

that can cause liver problems since the liver filters

blood and can accumulate more toxins than your body

can flush. You can avoid these problems by careful

diet management AND by drinking a lot of

non-chlorinated water. . . minimum 1/2 ounce per pound

of body weight daily.

I'd suggest starting a daily journal describing what

you are eating, supplements you are using and how you

feel. . . Expect some ups and downs - but in the long

run, you should start feeling better even before you

get your implants out. You can't expect to feel really

well until the source of the problem is removed

though.

While it's easier to take a couple pills and hope they

will do the job (then deal with the medication side

effects later) . . . doing it naturally is a little

slower, but can be even more effective when viewed as

a long-term program to regain your health.

If you have questions . . . ask away. We have a super

group here!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene
