Alternative treatments

I agree Sue. I am a retired acupuncturist/herbologist. Chinese herbs can be incredibly helpful under the right circumstances. It is difficult to source pure herbs these days and I would definitely not buy them on line. For folks taking western meds it is tricky. Herb/drug interactions can happen suddenly and without warning. Liver damage is often silent in the beginning. If you are on the big three it is a definite NO to herbs. If not on big three or too many other western meds I would seek out a very experienced chinese medicine practitioner. Don't try to be your own doctor - western or eastern.

I use herbal teas, also take mullien capsules and tincture. I take azithromycin and omadacycline. How can I find out if that’s a bad combination?

Hell Reneemc, why do you need to take Azithromycin and Omadacycline? What bacteria do you grow? My pulmonologist is thinking of giving me Azithro (3) times a week and I am trying to get more information. Do you take these antibiotics for prevention or for bacteria?

what is your pulmo treating with the Azithromycin 3 times a week? That is something they may prescribe for chronic Pseudo. Monday Weds Friday usually 250 ml on those days. It is more of a management strategy for chronic pseudo. Azithro does not actually work on pseudo directly.

Thank you Irenea8. I assume he wants to give me as a prevention for flare ups. Not necessarily for Psuedo, more for inflammation I assume. I'm trying to gather more information as much as possible.

I’m taking the maintenance phase antibiotics for Mycobacterium abscessus now intracelluar Did 2 months of IVs imipenem and Amikacin

Do you have Pseudo? It is one of the standard treatments for managing it. I have never heard of giving it for general inflammation but that could be since it is anti inflammatory.
