Maybe that's what I've just had...two weeks of hell featuring tonsilitis, fevers, night sweats, migraines, vomit and muscle aches :(

And erythromycin can go and get fked. Looked up this nasty alternative to penicillin online...too little too late...almost every user rates it terribly because almost everyone gets the nasty side effects I just had. Can't believe they can prescribe such a drug.

After-effects of erythromycin can be candida symptoms unless hit quick with probiotics.

Think these are hitting me now. I've loaded up on yakult and probiotic choc balls. Have been dieting fairly sugar free so I'm hoping that all this is doing something...

Any other recommendations for candida? Worth getting a gut flora test?

Stage 1:- Kill back Candida albicans from system with a) Pau D'Arco say 3 a day & b) Neem 500mg caps also 3 a day

This kills it systemically

Stage 2:- Starve out the Candida with an anti-Candida diet (on web)

This stops any backlash

Stage 3:- Strong Probiotic a week after starting Stages 1 & 2

This assists digestion and cleans it out from your upper GI tract

Stage 4:- Echinacea/Garlic combo

This pushes the Candida down through the large intestine to the bowel.

Stages 1 & 2 should have a +ve effect by 1 week

Thanks Terry, will look at that. Can overgrowth confirmed with a guy flora test?

Genelle, I don't have any symptoms of thrush, but some people do depending how advanced it is. It's only suspected candida overgrowth at this stage, so I went on the anti-candida diet as a precaution and took probiotics...which can't harm me (it's a largely sugar free diet)...so I thought why not.

The only sort of reliable test is a "Dark Field Micro" test at some science labs.

Cytotoxic tests via Dr > pathology are fraught with too many false +ves and false -ves.

In the clinic I employ a Dr William Crooke Questionnaire. Is that on the net perhaps? If not I'll mail you one.

Look up erythromycin for more info...was prescribed by a doctor under the assumption I had a bacterial infection, and as an alternative to penicillin, which I am allergic too...though honestly I'd take the amoxicillin induced urticaria over the shitstorm that erythromycin hit me with.

Candidiasis Symptoms:- If you have 4 or more of the following, I'd attend to it.

* bloated tummy

* wind

* constipation or loose motions

* changes in your finger or toe nails

* urgency to urinate

* foggy thinking > affecting short term memory

* blocked sinuses

* rashes that come and go, especially in perspiration spots

* crotch itch

* halitosis

* post-viral cough

* post-nasal drip or catarrh

Has anyone done non-government site related research about the correlation between certain vaccines and their lesser known side effects? Pretty scary stuff...

You guys should look in to a supplement called L-Glutamine. It was touted for ages as "build more muscle!" blah blah, however that was soon squashed to be slightly plausible at best. It does, however, have a great off shoot.. It bolsters your immune system something awesome. Works with improving gut health and gut bacteria.. Not to mention strengthens the digestive-contained immune system. From which, I believe, a very large portion of pathogens enter through. The stuff is super cheap too, if you get it in unflavoured powdered form. I pay about $35 for 1kg. It's also the amino acid most commonly found within skeletal muscle.

Start off with 5 grams a day, mixed with a smoothie, water, etc. Usually in the morning. Work up to 20 - 30 grams a day, split evenly in doses. You'll notice your sleep will improve, muscle strength will have positive benefits, and your general sense of well being will improve. And you'll not have to worry about pathogens.. Combine that with some sort of fermented dietary change (adding in sauerkraut, natural yogurt etc) and you'll be laughing.

What really gets me is this whole concept of "cold and flu" season.. I mean, the pathogens responsible don't suddenly say, 'Guys it's winter! lets go mess some people up'.. Then the health organisations will tell you, "Oh but it's because of the people all being around each other in enclosed spaces" .. Pfft, what a load of nonsense.. People are far more likely to socialise in greater numbers in summer. And the same amount of people still use the train for work, work in the same buildings, do the same things..

But, I digress.

Vitamin C, L-Glutamine, fermented food/drink, green tea, and enjoy a good dose of chilli... delicious :D

Anyone else tried the glutamine approach? Or read about it? If so, what was your approach? If you chose not to, what was your reason? :)

I think it's more because immune system resistance drops in the colder temperatures, leaving us more susceptible to catching shit and therefore transmitting if. Plenty of colds going around in summer but I have definitely had more in winter.

Question (this may have been answered somewhere along the line) but it's come time for our office to have flu shots. I am not going to get it this year on the basis that the last 4-5 years I've got the jab, then fallen ill only a few days after. Sometimes just for a few days others I have been confined to bed for at least a week.

Why is this? I eat very well, lots of exercise. Fwiw I even had a cold a few years ago, went for the flu jab, told the lady I already have a cold.. She said I would be fine (bitch won me over with a red lollipop (red is the best)) but yet a day or so later I felt 100billionty times worse

I don't think you should have it either.

Some people have a high degree of sensitivity to vaccines - more so live vaccines rather than dead.

For you, prevention is paramount. But if you do cop it I'd get Chinese Acupuncture and if you're quick enough, esterified vitamin C, zinc and echinacea/garlic.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
