Let me preface this by saying I've been to the doctor a dozen times, and this is still happening. Also, I am NOT SEXUALLY ACTIVE nor used any drugs, needle or otherwise - no HIV here.

Symptoms:
Swollen lymph nodes in neck
Strong pain in swallowing
Sore skin, sore back
Fever (102 max), sinus-type headache
Constant need to spit (post-nasal drip)
General joint ache, general malaise

Tests taken:
X-Ray of teeth
X-Ray of sinus cavities
Chest X-Ray
CT scan of head/sinuses
CT scan of neck region
Numerous mono/strep tests
Numerous blood/stool/urine tests

Symptoms have come and gone for the past 8 months or so. Typically symptoms will persist for 1-2 weeks, followed by 2-3 weeks of less/no symptoms, then a recurrence. Symptoms during the illness period are debilitating.

I've taken many antibiotics, both orally and via IV. The most effective treatment was 3 days of antibiotics/fluids via IV during a hospital visit 3 weeks ago, but that only delayed symptoms for 3 weeks

We associate kissing with love and love is good for us so is kissing good for us too? If you kiss a lot of other people do good things in the mouth of one person help out you? Love conquers all, there may be more to it than we think.

Disease and its treatment ?

There is a simple alternative philosophy concerning disease and its treatment. While Scienitest are still discovering that bad bacteria is a part of diseases that are considered of unknown origin such as Crohns and IBS, there is also another opposite positive side to bacteria.

Most of us, don't realize that there are 'friendly bacteria" (not all bacteria is bad) the same kind found in yogurt and cheeses that help the body digest food.

An imbalance or contamination of this intestinal flora may cause IBS, Crohns, MS, Depression, Schizophrenia and even Cancer.

Problem is that when you are given too much anti-biotics, some of the friendly bacteria is killed making people anemic and sick due to a lack of proper chemcials.

BAck to the question, are you aware of 'friendly bacteria" and their sources ?

Is it worth it? Does this therapy work? I have tried EVERYTHING! (serious answers only) It is a lot of money, but honestly, if I can knock off a few pounds, and it really changes my thinking, it may be worth it. I dont want to be scammed either.

Currently taking 2250mg of ascorbic acid (powder), 10 MSM capsules, 3-1000mg fish oil capsules, 1-200mcg selenium tablet, and one daily multi-vitamin daily. I try to eat at least two meals a day, but sometimes I can't even keep it all down. My stools and occasional vomit usually consist of excess bile. Alternative therapy doctor has seen me for the last 3 months, knows of all my current problems, realizes I'm in the middle of a flare. Unfortunately, I've been flaring for more than a month now, and frankly, I'm getting tired of it. He says to give it time, it will pass, continue taking supplements, rest, etc. He says he'll prescribe me steroids, but I have serious problems with taking them.

Is there anything that has worked for you, personally, to bring yourself out of a flare quicker?

I left them out on the counter for about an hour. Are they still good? I know you got to keep them refridgerated cause they are live cultures. Think they're ok to take still?
