we dont typically see pneumo in young healthy immunocompetent people

Surprised to read this. Wonder why I came down with it somewhere around age 10. A pretty bad case of it itoo. (But I lived.) It's about the only health problem I've had ever in life prior to all this.

Have any others had pnemon while at a age when otherwise very healthy/when a child? I'm curious.

This article suggests that one might look at underlying lyme infections as a cause:

Sorry about your extra work there.. :)

Funny that they call it "walking pneumo" because I can hardly walk, I'm so weak because of this. Its been like this for 3 weeks now.

I'm rather young but definitely not healthy. I've been seriously ill for over a year without a diagnosis. I might have Lyme though but that isnt 100% sure.

Well, my ND actually gave me some products to use and one of them has garlic and Black-Walnut in it. Hopefully that will work.

I've used it many times as a preventative herb... I really like it - it's a good natural killer.

Goldenseal is good too-I've used it often. Another natural killer.

Just space these things out, take one or the other 1 or 2 hours apart. Lemon juice in your water would be good.
I recommend you discuss what you want to do with your ND - You want things that will work together.

Back in the old days that is the first thing my ND muscle tested/later Vega tested and I NEVER showed up wanting it.

Out of curiosity I looked at the SCIO reading a few weeks ago and still nada.

Your mileage may vary....

Thanks for that link. I'm printing it for easier reading.

I have been a big fan of OLE, but stopped using it (oddly enough) when my diagnosis was bumped up to a parasitic infection from a fungal infection (not Candida alone - black mold also).

When I did use it - I loved it. Mind you, I had no idea I might be dealing with 'sites back then. But here is a VERY important thing to remember about olive leaf extract for use as a anti-microbial:

ROTATE it.

Use three caps (unless you can find the 500mg) three times a day, say for a week maybe two, maybe less. Then, PUT IT ASIDE. Alternate it with something like GSE, or oil of oregano, caprilic acid - heavy dosing again, three times a day for no more than two weeks - PUT IT ASIDE - switch around. Find a rotation program that works for you. Make it up. JUST BE SURE TO ROTATE.

The microbes will otherwise likely become resistant to any (or at least some) of the herbs. Resistance is super important, something to really take into consideration when attempting to eliminate a microbial infection. This applies also to just about anything - pharmals, and I've even read such w respect to zapping.

The idea is to shock them. Catch them off guard. Hit'em below the belt. Fight like Tyson.

Play dirty.
