Antibiotics

[Guest guest]

Any color sends me to the doctor, since I have only clear mucus and very little at that since desens. Often it takes some kind of antibiotic shot followed by 21 days of Biaxin or Augmentin with Pred. I've come to the conclusion that, for me, it never goes away on it's own. My frontals were never cleaned out, so that must be where the critters grow.

But when I get the nasty green goo for more than a couple days, I head off to the doctor. Though there are times I suspect that the antibiotics don’t help much as it takes forever for the infection to go away. My last infection I was on 2 different antibiotics over the course of a month when it finally went away. It makes me wonder if it would have gone away in that month on its own without the “fun” antibiotic side effects. Of course, I am also allergic to quinolone antibiotics like Avelox, which might have cleared up my infection right away.

that particular bug. Lucky me. K. -----Original Message-----From: samters [mailto:samters ] On Behalf Of Pamela Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2008 9:57 AMTo:

,

I just had to comment on your posting about antibiotics.

Last year I was on them 5 times and my sinus infection would NEVER go

away. In November ’07, my ENT doc did a nasal culture and the

findings were that I have a Pseudomonas bacterial infection that was resistant

to almost ALL antibiotics. The one thing that might work was Leviquin, so

she put me on it for a month. She also sent me to the Infectious Disease

Department at the University of Minnesota for a second opinion. They

concurred with her findings, but said that I should be on the Leviquin for 60

days. This seems to have cleared up my sinus infection for the first time

in years. I now go in for my 5th sinus surgery on March 24th,

and after a month’s recovery time I go into the University of Minnesota

Hospital for aspirin desensitization. I hope this information is helpful to

some of you.

That was

what I had was pseudomonas and unfortunately that Levaquin you took is a quinolone

like Avelox and Cipro, so I can’t take it. My infection did finally

go away, I forget what antibiotic I took but it was a powder I had to mix with

water and drink the dose but 6 days of that (and something like 14 days on

something else before that) and it went away. I’ve had several

sinus infections cultured and they always seem to come up as something

different (and sometimes as nothing at all!) and usually after a month or 6

weeks they go away so I do wonder if the antibiotics matter, esp. since I am

usually taking a less-than-ideal antibiotic for sinus infections. But

that is just me. I hate taking antibiotics so I do avoid them whenever

possible.

Good luck with your surgery and aspirin desens!

Hi

 

I may have a stomach ulcer and the standard therapy which my doc will prescribe

is known as " triple therapy " to treat the H Pylori which is comprise of a proton

pump inhibitor plus a combination of 2 antibiotics.

 

I hear what you say about antibiotics and HM but what am i supposed to do to

treat rhe H Pylori and the ulcer without antibiotics?? Any advice you could

point me to would be really helpful.

 

Thanks

Hi Neelam

The general indication of prescribing antibiotics are:

1)Treatment of spreading infection( high temperature,osteomyelitis etc)

2)Prevention of postoperative infection(traumatic removal of third tooth)

3)Prevention of infection following oral and m/f trauma

My question is What kind of analgesia(sedation,general anaesthesia) is indicated for epileptic Pt,child and pregnant woman?

+++Hi Prudence,

Yes, this program can definitely help. It isn't just for candida since it has

proved to be an overall healing program that improves anyone's health.

In fact there are Four Causes of all Failing Health:

1. Lack of proper nutrition and oxygen.

2. Accumulation of toxins, poisons, and waste.

3. Lowered vitality due to stress, shock, injury, emotional upsets, relationship

or financial worries and concerns, etc.

4. Nutritional status inherited from your parents upon conception, which can be

corrected by proper nutrition.

So it stands to reason that in order for anyone to get healthy they must

get " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements), and eliminate toxins and

damaging foods.

If you have candida read these two important articles so you know what you need

to do and why:

+++Hi e,

Antibiotics don't wipe out good bacteria as they claim anyway. Antibiotics are

toxic/poisonous so they just make the body respond by creating more healing and

detoxifying reactions.

They also cannot kill off any kind of bacteria since bugs cannot be killed off,

not even by natural antibiotics.

Any virus, bacteria, fungus (candida) or even cancer are only cured by building

up the immune system, which is done by:

1) Consuming " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements),

2) Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and

cancer),

3) Eliminating damaging foods, and

4) Eliminating toxins in general.

When the immune system is strong enough it automatically " makes " any bug change

back into the organism it is supposed to be when the body is healthy.

It's like the manure pile and the flies, with the manure pile representing the

poor condition of the body.

You cannot get rid of the manure pile by killing off the flies. You must clean

up the manure pile instead, which means building up your immune system.

What kind of bug does your husband have?

All the best, Bee

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

You asked what kind of infection my husband has - I don't know the official

name, but it's some kind of prostatitis. He thinks it may have been going on

for quite some time, then all at once he developed a fever with chills that just

kept coming and going. I thought it seem like he'd gotten 'over the hump' of

the infection - but his doc was quited concerned when he went in. He gave him

an antibiotic shot plus a very high dose oral antibiotic.

My husband is interested in the idea of healing the gut, but is not as convinced

as I am. I've been doing GAPS for about a month now and am trying to slowly

transition to your program. I've suspected a candida problem for myself for

ages, but had never found an answer that I felt confident about. Long way

around to saying, he may not be sold until he sees me gain some

benefit/improvement.

+++Hi e. Probably your husband has candida/fungus since it causes

prostate problems which are often mis-diagnosed because doctors don't believe in

candida/fungus.

e please be careful with antibiotics.

I was told i had prostatitis over 3 years ago, and given ciprofloxacin, ( cipro)

a flueroqiunolone antibiotic. These are very bad antibiotics and made me really

ill for the last 3 years.

I found out from my records that i never had a infection in the first place. I

have had a lot of Central nervous system damage from this drug but they also can

cause muscle and ligament/joint problems,sometimes weeks after the course is

over.

Checkout www.fqtoxicity.com and fqvictims there are hundreds of thousands of

people damaged by this group of drugs.

I have derealisation which is a feeling of not being quite here,where everything

seems unreal dreamlike, along with lots of other things.

I first got ill though after swallowing mercury from drilled out fillings,that

caused pain in the prostate hence the cipro.

> I recently had symptoms of a bladder infection which didn't improve with all

the natural remedies I tried. In desperation I visited a doctor and he did the

usual tests. He told me I had a mild infection and gave me a prescription for

antibiotics. I felt really depressed about the idea of taking antibiotics after

doing the candida program strictly for six months and not having had to take an

antibiotic for several years. Since I just wanted to clear up the infection

without it becoming more serious I took two days of the antibiotics. When the

infection did not improve at all I decided the dr's diagnosis was wrong and did

some research. I figured out what I had was an overactive bladder, which I

managed to clear up myself in two days with some natural remedies. Nonetheless I

was really upset I had taken two days of the antibiotics. Since then, I feel

like my allergies have become worse and i have been feeling fatigued whereas I

had been feeling fairly good before that though it could be coincidental since

allergy season is here in Texas. I am just wondering what you would recommend I

do to counteract the negative effects of the antibiotics? Should I take a

probiotic even though it's not recommended until the end of the diet? I

appreciate any suggestions you can give me!

>

+++Hi Samia,

That's unfortunate you took the antibiotics. Doctors scare people about

infections, making us believe they will run rampant and take over our bodies so

we may die from them. However, that is not true. So it is insane to prescribe

poisons (antibiotics) to counteract the body's natural healing mechanisms.

Infection is the body's way of healing itself, bringing more healing blood and

immune system substances to the area, and the body itself may create bacteria in

order to clean up an area too.

No, do not take any probiotics. All you need to do is to get back on the

candida program so your body can detoxify the antibiotics. It will take awhile

for you to feel better, but you haven't lost all of the hard work you did

before. The nutrients you are, were, getting are still doing their job, helping

your body heal itself.

Your allergy symptoms increased because they are a way for your body to detoxify

itself.

I hope you are back on track soon!

All the best, Bee

You absolutely should start him on probiotic now! I highly recommend Udo's or Yarrow brand children's/infant probiotic. Start the probiotic when you start the antibiotics. My daughter went through something similar last year and it lasted months. We never gave the antibiotics... well my mom gave her one dose, before I stopped her.  And it absolutely changed her personality! I never knew if it was from the illness itself or the meds. But I believe it totally can change a kid.

Good luck.

I agree with Mindy--get him on the probiotics NOW. Should be given 2 hours before or after the antibiotics and should continue taking them for months afterwards (at least!). And YES, antibiotics can absolutely change the personality of a child. Antibiotics can interfere with neurotransmitter production (among many other biological processes). . . see this link for information about gut dysbiosis (which can be caused by antibiotics) http://www.epidemicanswers.org/epidemic/biological-dysfunction/gut-dysbiosis/Also you might like to read about other consequences of using antibiotics and causing gut dysbiosis: http://www.epidemicanswers.org/epidemic/biological-dysfunction/gut-dysbiosis-and-immune-function/Cultured foods are a good bet while on antibiotics too (kefir, raw sauerkraut, kimchee, miso, etc.) and make sure he doesn't get ANY sugars or refined white flours while on antibiotics.

The doctor should be aware of the need for probiotics. Maybe you can have your son ask the doctor to tell her.

And I agree that antibiotics can cause a change in behavior. Any drug, food, etc. cause cause behavioral changes.

One of the side effects of Amoxicillan is hyperactivity. I'm sure he's feeling a bit out of sorts. I would give probiotics 2 hours after every dose of antibiotics. Others may disagree.

I have couple of questions I hope someone can help me with. My 3 1/2 year old grandson has had a respiratory infection, not really bad, but the dr. put him on ammoxicillin for 10 days. Not sure if it was necessary, since I think it was a virus. But I know that antibiotics can destroy the flora in the intestinesand I want to know if we should get some probiotics for him when he is finished with the med. Also his personality has seemed to alter from a wonderful, sweet child to an unbearable brat. Can antibiotics affect a persons behavior? Maybe I am reaching on that because I cannot bear to think that he is going to behave like this from now on. B.
