If the doctor prescribed me something to stop bacteria, is there an alternative?

Question

the drugs names are: azithromycin and cefpodoxime.

Is there like a homeopathic remedy that i can take instead? I tried to get tested for all the STDs. they did for most. but said that these prescriptions would stop stuff...just in case?

Answer 1

How about water? That's about as effective as any homeopathic remedy (although, admittedly, the placebo effect is somewhat reduced), and it's a good deal cheaper. On the other hand, it won't do anywhere near as much to stop bacteria as the drugs your doctor prescribed. Why not take them instead?

Answer 2

I'm very surprised that a licensed practitioner would even suggest colloidal silver after the FDA banned any sellers (in August, 1999) from claiming that this product had any beneficial value. I know that this person doesn't agree with homeopathy, but there is a lot to be said for it.  I'd suggest to this person to do some more research before making such a statement.

If you have an STD, you might want to consider talking to a licensed homeopathic practitioner.

Answer 3

Likely you are getting treated for an STD.

There is no substitute for antibiotics in the acute situation.

Let the issue get treated by the pills, then look into changing the

factors that brought it on in the first place.

Answer 4

I don't want to get too personal, but I can't tell from your question if you are taking these prophylatically (to prevent an STD, nothing to do with birth control) although my guess is you've contracted something (no shame in this, happens all the time) and the antibiotics are to keep outbreaks at bay.  Assuming the latter, you know that it is bacterial in nature (antibiotics will not help viral or fungal conditions) it sounds like you are looking for something that will have the affects of the medications being prescribed.  This is very smart. Indeed both medications are powerful but not elegant, by that I mean taken systemically (as opposed to topically) they will wipe out bacteria by blocking protein synthesis so they cannot proliferate. (Multiply).  They do this to all bacteria, good or toxic, and if you do wind up taking them I recommend a full spectrum Pro-biotic which will replace the healthy strands.

    I wouldn't touch homeopathy, but I am a licensed energy therapist and try to keep an open mind.  I think the thing to try would be Colloidal Silver, a natural antibiotic that kills the toxic critters by essentialy impairing their ability to process oxygen. They can't breathe and drown. Or Asphyxiate. It works extremely well but a lot of commercial brands are too diluted to have any noticeable effect.  Most of the studies that have proven its efficacy used between 500-1000 ppm.  I would go with 500 parts per million.  Some brands have as low as 20 ppm. These will be clear liquid, while a product with 500 ppm will be a dark gold.  Why not silver. I don't know.

I can think of one brand off the top of my head and their acronymn is HHA, but you can look it up.  I did 8 weeks on vencomyocin so I have had to look to alternative medicine (for MRSA).  Did I know about colloidal silver then, yes, but I had endocarditis and followed western protocol.  All the best to you, please talk this over with a doctor before making a switch.

Answer 5

just take them and get it over with so you get better and dont spread stuff around if you do have an STD.

colloidal silver is probably more dangerous than commonly used antibiotics. a med student should know better...

Answer 6

If these are antibiotics, they will kill all bacteria good and bad which will make you sicker in the long run.

  Get; Oil of oregano,Olive leaf extract, cinnamon,  and garlic. throw in a good brand of Fish Oil. from a health store and you are on your way.

A good alternative is the two natural antibiotics colloidal silver and garlic oil (odourless capsules).
