I understand unpleasant reactions to the Big 3 antibiotics - I had all of them, but with help from my doc & his nurse, I persevered, and was able to take them long enough to knock down (but probably not knock out) the MAC infection over 4 years ago.

I am curious as to whether you shared the list of all the supplements you are taking with your doctors and pharmacist before you started the antibiotics? Each of these, whether "natural" or not, is another drug/chemical which may interact with you antibiotics or any other meds you use.

None of the listed supplements licensed or regulated, nor subject to USDA or FDA inspection and testing to be sure it is pure, and contains exactly what the label says.

Ashwaganda, which is widely accepted as safe, has the potential for nausea as a side effect. But we do not know how it interacts with antibiotics.

Can you tell us what led you to take ParaCleanse, which is intended to remove parasites from your digestive system?

And why did you add fulvic acid, which I know is popular right now, but lacks basic scientific research into its long term safety and effectiveness?

I did a lot of reading today, and I haven't seen good evidence that the supplements you list are going to help your body fight MAC. And I am concerned that you may be having reactions or interactions from the supplements as well as the medications - it will be a puzzle to sort it all out.
