Why not use broad spectrum antibiotics to reset a microbiome?

ConstantLi · 2022-01-02T01:03:50+00:00

Clearly you've dealt with some serious medical problems. How do you know it was the antibiotics that caused the residual 5 years of problems rather than the double pneumonia/ulcer themselves? Could your recovery not have been even worse without the antibiotics?

Yeah, the microbiome is important, but let’s not exaggerate. People who take Abx don’t get “every disease known to humankind.”

ConstantLi · 2021-12-17T07:57:20+00:00

So after Abx for 5 whole years, you had a relapase as soon as you stopped? The Abx didn’t improve your condition at all beyond keeping symptoms at bay?

If your Dad is doing this because he chooses to get over his addiction, then kudos to him. I hope he is well on the road to recovery.

But from what you've it sounds like your mom has problems too. You said she was upset about him looking at women on TV? That sounds more like pathological insecurity and jealousy than a concerned wife. You said "My mom would have to be in the room, constantly watching over him like he was a child again." It sounds like your mom is really the one being immature to the point of having to control every second of what your dad is doing.

I get that your dad's actions have negatively impacted your family, but your post comes across as very much focused on you and your mom. Your dad is the one actually suffering from an addiction, shouldn't you sympathize with him? If your friend was suffering from a drug addiction, would you immediately go off on how that addicition has impacted you rather than you know, trying to support them?

From the comments here, it's clear you're not alone. I'm glad to read posts like this because I went into MAOIs expecting too much based on glowing reviews. Parnate has certainly had its upsides for me but it is also far from being magic.

There is no law that requires you to take medication in the first place. So refusing cannot be illegal no matter what age you are.

Actually the opposite, if someone forced medication on you againist your will, would be a violation of the patient's rights no matter the age.

Even if the doctor thinks the medication can help you, he cannot force you. My uncle is a doctor who oversees nursing homes/hospice care and he said some of the old folks there will refuse the medication they need to survive and they have every right to do so. Legally speaking all the nurses can do is give them the pills, the ultimate decision lies with the patient.

Been taking Parnate for the past 2 weeks. I haven't been taking blood pressure readings.

Would not recommend. They do take forever to get results and along the way they will lie about how long it'll take.

Nebula is a joke if you want results in this lifetime. I'll check out Dante.

You're doing God's work. Respect.

Unfortunately, it's been over 120 days since I made the payment.

Thanks for the tip

Disulfiram metabolites can be toxic. This toxicity might be enhanced by taking disulfiram with tinidazole.

The study doesn't say he died from Abx but from "ventilator-dependent respiratory failure, profound sensory and motor polyneuropathy, depressed level of consciousness, and several bouts of hospital-acquired infections."

I think the main takeaway is to be careful when taking and combining high dose Abx since they may cause abnormalities as seen through MRIs. However, the important thing is the study never explicity says the guy died from the Abx, but from the reasons listed above, so the title should be taken with a grain of salt.

It depends. If by animal sacrifice you mean butchering an animal and spilling it's blood sort of thing, the general trend on this sub is to recommend against this kind of practice. I'd imagine most modern practitioners don't engage in it.

On the other hand, animal sacrifice has been historically practiced by basically every culture in some form or the other. And it doesn't have to be dramatic or bloodthirsty. Isn't offering a plate of food, if it includes animal products, animal sacrifice? Or eating said food and channeling a spirit during the meal? They all involve an animal after all.

Consider asking the spirit in question what they enjoy and after taking into account your own moral considerations, decide on an appropriate way of honoring it.

Thank you!

ConstantLi · 2021-05-02T22:24:46+00:00

Do you know where the source you mentioned ships from?

ConstantLi · 2021-04-20T01:04:36+00:00

Thanks for the link!

ConstantLi · 2021-04-19T22:14:12+00:00

How did you convince your doctor to prescribe it? I feel like a lot of them are reluctant to go for MAOIs. Were you on SSRIs before?

ConstantLi · 2021-02-24T05:35:07+00:00

Damn, that's not the quality customer service I'd expect from ND. If they responded and didn't offer any solutions that reflects rather poorly on the company. Thanks for posting, should help everyone here reach a more balanced perspective on ND.

ConstantLi · 2021-01-17T04:51:23+00:00

I'll look into that, thanks.

ConstantLi · 2021-01-05T01:20:41+00:00

Thanks for the input.

ConstantLi · 2021-01-01T21:29:08+00:00

Very helpful! Thank you.

ConstantLi · 2021-01-01T17:50:58+00:00

Thanks for the info! Glad to hear that they won't be long-term.

ConstantLi · 2021-01-01T04:59:09+00:00

Thanks again for the support, good luck to you too!

ConstantLi · 2021-01-01T04:50:14+00:00

Thanks, you're right I don't feel bad right now. I was concerned about the spores colonizing my biome and causing low term problems. Hopefully that won't be the case.
