Zithromax is used as an alternative for those allergic to penicillin you are correct, same concept though. There are many plants as strong as antibiotics however the process of using them is far more complicated, they are much harder to come by and it is generally a fragile process. The notion that there is no comparison in potency has a lot of following, it is unfounded. I read a while ago that approximately 80% of pharmaceuticals in global use were plant based/derived or synthesized. Many plants are powerful enough to blind/paralyze/kill a human in seconds, why wouldn't they be able to kill bacterium or viruses.
Last year whilst north bound for Canada, my guts started giving me shit, by the time I hit NYC I had a reasonable amount of internal bleeding. It had got worse by the time I reached MTL and worried friends coerced me into a visit to the ER. They started treatment immediately with out asking any medical history. Within 15 mins I was in a bed and they were hooking me up to a drip........when I asked why I was told it was saline??????????????? I was not pale or dehydrated and wondered what they might want to administer as I was in no pain. After a few had gathered around to talked amongst themselves and then depart I started to express my concerns, when the barely literate nurse could answer none of my questions I asked to see a doctor. Patiently I waited an hour and a half and eventually a patronising doctor arrived, he seemed shocked that I would know the protocol of treatment and even more shocked to why I should want to know! I was then informed that the IV was for the antibiotics that were to be swapped with the saline which had been put it by a nurse to save time........amazing.......they had already saved a bunch of time by not even testing to see if I needed the medication.
It may well have been an ulcer but I had Mallory Wiess syndrome a few years ago from some internal injuries and I suspected that the scars had ruptured. They never asked if I was allergic to the medication.....had I been it could have caused violent vomiting and been potentially fatal. I asked for the drip to be removed and asked for a hemoglobin count. He looked shocked but saw my point. The count came back fine which means I wasn't bleeding to death. The treatment would not have been a one off and all that would have been achieved was the administration of drugs for which they would post test the need.
2 hrs 45 mins in a bed, Hemoglobin count and an IV with no drugs??????? = $867
Bargain!
I discharged myself, knocked the hooch on the head (I had been drinking a lot), cleaned up my diet, steady course of Aloe and Papain to sort out my tum tum, and garlic and rosemary (herbal nonsense) just in case it was an ulcer. Bleeding stopped in 3 days, bloating and gas took a little longer. Guts feel fine now and my system will still get the most out of antibiotics should I need them in future.
Fake names don't work for ongoing testing.....be careful of giving too little info and wanting too much. Some people feel the need to get to the bottom of mystery and that's when you end up having to answer to the police that are never far from the clinic. Oh....and they don' tell you "the pigs 'll be here soon pal", they just appear in front of you....not so good if ya tryin to avoid em. Look up Bronchitis symptoms.....its far more likely to be bleeding from Bronchitis than Tuberculosis just based on the frequency of TB. cases, although the latter is possible.
If the post hadn't asked for alternative medicine then I wouldn't have suggested such things. Every post including mine have expressed that professional medical advice should be sought. I answered the post without scaremongering, there are plenty of parts of the world where antibiotics are scarce and people get along just fine.
Treat the cause pal and not just the symptom.....get some sleep and lay off the smokes.....and I'll say it again.......go and see the doc if you can, there is often free medical for this kinda stuff available through Missions and Churches but you will need ID!
