I see everyone talking about grams. This is embarrassing but how do you measure grams? Sorry, I graduated when I was 16 and that info flew right now the window. What do I need to measure grams?
Also, is what drugs are penicillin and what abx are safe to combine with them? I don't want to kill myself (read my other post about self treating) Does anyone know what to get these things? Cheap but not fake, and effective.
Thanks.

I would advise not to treat with antibiotics without the oversight of a Dr or someone who can order labs on you to be sure what you're taking isn't damaging your liver or something else.
Yes, you can buy drugs online from overseas pharmacies, but you're putting yourself in danger of organ damage. Don't do it.
If you can't afford to see an LLMD, start with salt/c or one of the herbal protocols.
BTW, there are NO dumb questions. Better to be safe than sorry.

I agree with psano2. I did salt/orange juice for 3
months. Once or twice a day. It did not hurt me and
kept me going till I got my positive test back as
my doc just said I was depressed. Colloidal Silver
is another option. It will not cure but it sure slows them down.

How do you know if the drugs from overseas are safe, effective, and actually what they're supposed to be? How do you know the drugs aren't past the expiration date and just repackaged? I might trust drugs from Canada, but anywhere else, no.
I would be VERY worried about what they're really sending me. I'm sure it's cheaper, but there is a lot risk.
I also agree with Psano, Dr oversight is very important. Who would you go to if you started having symptoms and worried if it was from the abx? You can't rely on the info from this site.
(Although, my LLMD has not checked me for anything. At my appt on Thurs, I asked HIM about it. He gave me a script to get a liver panel from a lab. But said that he's never seen a problem and has become less worried about it over time).

I will let my new doctor (yes, another one) that I am going to do it with or without his help. I just want blood work done to oversee things. However, I'd rather die trying then to die because I gave up and committed suicide. Sorry to be frank.

I hope your new doc will do it. I'd be VERY careful how you come in there and especially about using the word 'suicide.' I understand your frustration and know your hardships you've posted.
The problem is no doctor will ever run tests if they feel you're unstable and a risk and especially will be against monitoring a self-treated drug treatment. It's dangerous for them. They may feel like it's supplying a heroin addict more goods or something.
At least when a LLMD treats, the PCP may not respect that doc's decision, but it is a licensed medical professional. Most PCPs I've met think LLMDs are scum, but some open minded ones I know would probably work with a LLMD out of respect for a patient. What I'm saying is try to be as level-headed as possible when approaching them, but assertive.
I know you're in-between a rock and a hard place and doing nothing is completely unacceptable. I wonder if a holistic doc may be more compassionate? Usually, these docs rake you for more $$$$ though, but not always. I wish you had a family friend or relative who was a MD!

Another natural product that is good is grapefruit seed extract by Nutribiotic.
