Thanks for all these ideas. Since I already started the Augmentin I'll look into those things later. The doctor had me add Iodine to my saline rinse. I'm not sure what a zapper with electrodes is. I suppose I can just google it. Is it called just a "zapper"? Probiotics I have already been using, and will definitely need a lot more after this. Colloidal Silver is something I've been wanting to try. And Lugol's too. Our nearby health food store doesn't carry it. So I've been eating seaweed from the grocery store. Oil of oregano & qigong (sp?) are sure possibilities. What about MSM? That is 1 product the nearby store had, so I bought it. I also intend to keep with the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement . I really thought my health was improving on that. This infection comes as a shock. I've been getting high fevers, but shy away from ibuprofren unless I'm dying - to let the fever do it's job. My head and lungs ache.
