Paula, I have been using something called allimed for a chronic infection that
I acquired in my jawbone due to infected dental implants that had to be
removed. I heard about it from a lyme doctor who said that they had some
success with it with lyme patients. You have to order it and it is expensive
but I think it is a very good antimicrobial and anti fungal. I just recently
started using it and it seems to work well for my jaw. I have a feeling that
this infection in my jaw is going to be long term for me and I need something I
can tolerate. I know of a lyme patient that said it has cured her thrush .she
was using nystatin rinse that was doing nothing for her. I tried oregano and it
didnt do much for me with the jaw infection but burn like anything. I have read
good results from others about oregano however. Have you tried the carvacol
oregano?
A question for anyone in the group. I use alternatives with my dog for most
things. I have found herbals effective for ear infections and I also give my
dog high quality food. I took her to the vet today and I was told that heart
worm is becoming a big problem and can carry risks to humans now. I keep my dog
flea free by using a flea comb and vacuuming the carpet daily. Because she is a
small dog and rarely goes outside and we have no cats, fleas have never been a
problem so I dont use advantage because the dog sleeps in my bed and I know
that this advantage stuff can get in your enviroment. I am however worried
about heart worm and some other parasites that seem to be emerging with pets.
does anyone have any suggestions for heartworm or should I just bite the bullet
and give her the pill? Also any natural suggestions for fleas would be helpful
as my vet doesnt think I am doing my dog justice by refusing advantage. I hate
giving my dog a pill that is an internal
insecticide.
Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions in the past.
