William's advice is excellent.
Look it up in the PDR. It is a very dangerous substance.

Down here it is used only for the worst parasites, which are plentiful during rainy season, which is now Most of the parasite victins down here are in pretty good shape otherwise, in relatively good health except for their houseguests. It's so rough I know people flatly refuse to take it because of its known toxic side effects, which do not affect everyone. I would not administer it casually, no more than absolutely necessary, and watch for negative reactions. (Sorry I don't know what they are, other than extreme intestinal distress.) I'm in southern Mexico, the almost tropics. ----- Original Message ----- From: bernadette <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 5:24 PM Subject: Re: CS>question Thank you Ian.

She probably had antibiotics before during and after the surgery and now is having to take the drug you mentioned. some MDs even give it prophylactically along with the other antibiotics. It like anything else has side effects and interactions but I don't think the CS will interact with anything. I have never had a problem with CS killing good bacteria and I don't ever recall anyone on the list raise any more than a passing concern about this.

She has been prescribed Metronidazole to kill the bacteria. I have given her two quarts of freshly made CS today with a strength of 12 ppm's. Her question is how much should she take? Will it interact/react with the Metronidazole? Will the CS kill any of the good bacteria she has been trying to replace with probiotics? This appeared after she had a colonoscopy. Apparently she picked up this bacteria after the procedure. She is having a very difficult time recovering and the Metronidazole is acting like chemo and making her extremely ill. All suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Bernadette [email protected]
