I notice some of you take Zithromax three days a week? Is this a prophylactic measure? Wariwck had mentioned that he was leaning towards using Azithromycin as a prophylactic antibiotic? I am curious whether I should start using for my 2 year old son. He has been healthy lung wise but severe sinus issues! It just started again after having surgery and a PICC about 5 months age. Thanks

Ok for now it is this.

Tobra
Salbutemol
HS with Oregano

Enzymes
Vitamins

However, when i get some extra cash, I'm gonna start taking what I think is a really good mix, which should sit me back 200 dollars a month, maybe more. It's a bit expensive, but i can go out in a night and spend 100 dollars easily, and that's just for drinks/food. This is a much better investment, and will probably increase my health to almost normal levels ( I hope!!)

HS with 4 drops of OO
Salbutemol
HS with GSH
TOBI (gotta get insurance first, but if things work out in the lungs, might nix this)
Pulmicort

twice a day.

ANd then for supps:
Curcumin
NAC
DHA
Beta carotene
L-arganine.
Zinc sulfate
liposomal GSH
choline
Gonna look into chromolyn (sp)
Zithromax
Oregano oil caps
Maybe monolaurin to increase OO affects (will take if i see a need)

Anyone know of any other anti inflammatories/white blood cell relaxers heheh.
Jesus this thread brought back major deja vu!
