Antibiotic to avoid

Dr. Gish says I can NEVER take macrobid for infections. I have bactrim and something else to take after they are gone. I'll get the name later.

Does macrobid have an adverse effect on the liver?

Apparently so, Dr. Gish said I can NEVER take it. Not now and not even if I achieve SVR.

I didn't get to talk to the doctor myself. The message was left for me from his office. Apparently, that antibiotic is very bad for the liver.

What does that equate to....I have never heard of it.

that is interesting.
i wonder what else is not good to take ever (in medicines).

One of the other pills the doctor gave me to take when I'm done with the first ones causes liver failure. What's wrong with these doctors?

[rosebud57]

i don't know, but i am on a natural healing mission, i found a website and i have been reading a lot. it is interesting.
goes along with my complaints of weeks ago that i felt the meds had caused a candidas or fungal overgrowth.  i am dealing with it on my own since 2 specialists and a pcp couldn't help me..its real subtle but they treat you kind of badly when they think your wacko. they've done all but told me to see a psychiatrist.  i am feeling better each day, but it is still challenging to increase strength and stamina.

take care

Can you share the name of the website you found? I love natural methods. Acidolphilous helps my intestinal tract a lot.

Our medical system is not really designed to get you well. It's to get you coming back and back and back to the doctors so they will get more business. If they think you will cure yourself without their help it can make them mad. But it's funny, when THEY get cancer they come to us for help because they don't want chemo. Hypocrities.

In China you pay your doctor when you are well. When you are sick you don't pay them because they didn't do a good job. It's totally different. And the clinics are very competitive - each one trying to be the best.

One of the things wrong with Western medicine they usually don't investigate the treatments being used in other countries that are getting great results.  I think Doctors are too arrogant and think they know it all. It's a Science no one ever knows it all. New discoveries are always coming out. I like the oath: FIRST DO NO HARM. Some seem to forget that.

I got a big rash from the second antibiotic and had to stop it. Now the dr. is prescribing ciprio.
