Considering Natural Supplements

[Gingerloveslife]

Hey everyone. I know that this was a topic that has been visited many times before but after a long bout with a very resistant psuedomonas strain that is still flourishing in my body I am thinking about starting some natural supplements in addition to all my regular routine.

I think Faust is the guy I am looking for but I would love to hear from everybody that has experimented with supplements. I am just wondering if someone can fill me in on oregano oil, turmeric caplets, and GSH. I have read past posts about the benefits of these items and I was wondering where everyone purchases theirs, brand names that seem to be the best, and what dosage I should probably start with.

Right now, I have 3 strains of PA one that is extremely drug resistant and my FEV1 finally rose to 50% after 8 weeks of i.v.s. My baseline is 57-60% so I still have a ways to go and I am hoping these supplements might help me gain some FEV1 ground. Thanks everyone!!!

Additionally, the mucoid PA will likely be resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics (i.e., gentamycin, tobramycin, amikacin). Studies suggest this is reversible when Mg-deficiency is reversed (and it did prove reversible in my son, eventually even eliminating mucoid PA). </end quote></div>

I have found three things that have helped me.

1)Like MichelleGazelle said, Magnesium is great--I found that my airways were less tight and Pulmozyme worked better since I started this.

2)I do the H2Orega drops (oil of oregano) when I am sick. I have gotten over three major sinus infections without antibiotics by using this under my tongue several times a day. I have also tried putting it in my nasal irrigation solution.

3)Effervescent NAC-I have been using this twice a day now for a while and my last three visits I have had significant increases in my PFTs. I think this is helping me alot!

I use oil of oregano. I mostly use it for fungal stuff. For example, I take s bunch of it before cleaning up the mildew that periodically grows on the poorly insulated (thus often damp) windows in my apartment. I also take it for certain kinds of lung infections. It is very effective against some strains of stuff that can cause pneumonia. I can't tell you specific organisms. I heard this somewhere and I have had good luck with it, like when someone at work was saying "My chest hurts so bad. I hope I'm not coming down with pneumonia." Yeah, I left early that night and the next day went and got oil of oregano before work. I usually take a lot more than what I have heard is a "recommended dose". I have heard that if you get the eye-dropper thingy, you are supposed to take something like 3 to 7 drops a day. I take an entire dropperful in the morning and another half-dropper to full dropper later in the day if I feel I need more. Warning: when I have the kind of infection that OOO kills, taking the oil form burns my mouth. For that reason, pills might be more tolerable.

I have also been using olive leaf extract as an herbal antibiotic. But I don't think the herbal antibiotics (or allopathic drugs either) are really enough by themselves. I think you also need to rebuild your body nutritionally so it has the strength to fight back.
