For everybody (and Anne, too, of course! :) Re: What do you need from me? Re: need advice for hubby please
'Glad to hear he's home and y'all are hangin' in there.
To me, not insisting on knowing what the bacteria is and not contesting the Cipro (a fluoridated antibiotic well-known to cause a vast array of adverse-effects including full/partial disability and the inability to walk/work for years - link given previously), especially without knowing if there's any possible rational reason for it and demanding an alternative (or utilizing natural antibiotics) is illogical, irresponsible & dangerous.
>>>he says he will do anything I ask/tell him but that remains to be seen ..I know he wants to get better so he can go back to work ..the way it looks right now it could take another 2-4 wks before that happens<<<
It could be 2-4 months or 2-4 years if he has a common reaction to the Cipro. I suggest going back to the link I offered and reading the posts/stories outloud to him, as well as reading FQ Survivors early posts (FQ stands for fluoroquinolone, which is what Cipro is), as well as his posts under the User ID: wormaway...he's been unable to work/walk or even play the guitar for six years due to poisoning by this drug class (and his experience is NOT uncommon). With your husband's drinking (and what must be considerable liver compromise), he's likely a 'higher risk', and heaven only knows the adverse effects to his future health and ability to work, thrive, and live.
Using only common knowledge and a few natural substances, even a newbie (with virtually no knowledge of Natural Healing) could not have created this health destroying & painful disaster from a wound/tear requiring only 15 stitches. It breaks my heart whenever I hear of this, but to see it happen to someone that's been posting over 8 years on CZ...honestly, it just makes my entire body & soul nauseated. CZ = "Education instead of Medication"...but it doesn't seem like many people are being educated (and/or those that are, are not paying attention).
Folks, when we opt to put our very lives in the hands of the first leading cause of death in the US, it's only "natural" that we would end up worse than when we walked in the door. If we don't have the common sense (or love & care about our bodies & life enough) to avoid allopathic medicine once we read & comprehend the facts (that by their OWN statistics, they ARE the first leading cause of death in the USA...and that that fact DOES apply to every person), then, well...offering our wounded body to them is like slicing into an artery and jumping into a school of sharks...and expecting to come out undamaged and healed. There will ALWAYS be damage done - the only question is 'how much'.
Anne, if there's any information I can offer that you/hubby will utilize, please let me know and I'll do my best to give you good, healing information.
Blessings always,
