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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
