I plan to see Dr. C in MO for a consult, but then I would like to try alternatives, such as rife. Let's keep each other posted.

IV recephin was hell for me. When the picc line went out, I stayed off antibiotics for at least 4-6 weeks, I dont remember exactly. (even tho I had the line pulled just this january). Every week off i got better and better ( from the nuero symptoms and sleeplessness), seemed to take about 2 months until was completely wore off, but was just tons better after 2 weeks. I was bothered by neuro symptoms, inablity to sleep and huge candida overgrowth. I also went on a huge effort to get rid of candida while taking a break from abx. Took oral prescription, total diet change, etc..... Watching myself be able to slowly regain the ability to sleep was the best--and to finally sleep a full night !

I hope that your break from abx will also provide your body and mind with needed time to regroup and detox.

As part of the diet change, I have been supplementing heavily with chlorella, and will testify to its effectivness for me in removing toxins. I take 12 - 15 g a day total (4 to 5 g 20minutes before each meal--thanks GiGi for this info !!!)

The point to this is, that I am taking abx again, first added ceftin pulsing 2 weeks on and 2weeks off. Then we added biaxin with the ceftin. I was leery cause this time last year biaxin caused me severe nuero symptoms, like the rocephin, so I refused to keep taking it.

I am handling it much better this time, and I think that the chlorella is one of the major reasons why.

Good Luck
