Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 To whoever it was re polmozyne, just a few tips to keep eye open for, many people I have cared for got most of the side effects, and were changed from the med, after about 3 months. All developed chest paim, a deeper cough and voice, also severe bouts of conjungtivitis, 2 developed other things like pharyngitis & dyspnea. This is another nebulised product that is meant to do well in assisting keep serious infections away so not to need to over do with other forms of ab,s etc. You cannot mix others with this, like you cannot mix like we do with atrovent and ventolin etc, as it changes the chemical compound. also one person did suffer rash and fevers. quite regular. This product is made from hamster ovaries. and people with that type of allergy also should stay clear. I do know a few people still using it, however are asking to change over as there are no tests that have been done past use for a year, so they are worried that the will find , may cause heart attacks. has caused significant chest pain in them, however they perservered till now, knowing they are changing soon. 3 of the people I care for now do use the oregano oils, in their nebulisers, and have found huge relief, however they are still doing their atrovent etc, they just use as a supplement, not a complete alternative. I do have 3 friends who only use the oregano oil ( water soluble one) and later use a saline neb with atrovent, however have been able to cut down a lot. These are just a few things to consider and of course more importantly ask your doctors. I have plenty of paper work on tests etc, so if still want more info, I am happy to post. Have you tried the tea tree oil also, thats another wonderful thing to assist with breathing and muccous etc. Must go, good luck, I am also posting an article on the benefits of water.

Role of magnesium in the pathogenesis and treatment of migraines. Mauskop A, Altura BM. NY Headache Center, New York, NY 10021, USA. The importance of magnesium in the pathogenesis of migraine headaches is clearly established by a large number of clinical and experimental studies. However, the precise role of various effects of low magnesium levels in the development of migraines remains to be discovered. Magnesium concentration has an effect on serotonin receptors, nitric oxide synthesis and release, NMDA receptors, and a variety of other migraine related receptors and neurotransmitters. The available evidence suggests that up to 50% of patients during an acute migraine attack have lowered levels of ionized magnesium. Infusion of magnesium results in a rapid and sustained relief of an acute migraine in such patients. Two double-blind studies suggest that chronic oral magnesium supplementation may also reduce the frequency of migraine headaches. Because of an excellent safety profile and low cost and despite the lack of definitive studies, we feel that a trial of oral magnesium supplementation can be recommended to a majority of migraine sufferers. Refractory patients can sometimes benefit from intravenous infusions of magnesium sulfate.
