Antibiotics and LS
Posted , 10 users are following.
I have read more than once that LS clears up temporarily after a round of antibiotics. I know we don't want to be on antibiotics all the time but is there any benefit in being on a natural antibiotic such as garlic all the time? Would it prevent flareups? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. I just think there must be a clue as to why antibiotics have that effect.

While clobetasol is a VERY potent steroid, because of our condition not enough is absorbed systemically into our bodies to pose such risks
Antibiotics too are unnecessary to use in the long term if there is no infection. It is a big problem internationally that overuse of them is causing the human race to become resisitant to the normal antibiotic chemicals currently in use The bugs- bacteria- are adapting too and getting more dangerous. Overuse of antibiotics by "the worried well" could, in the near future result in deaths from simple scratches and chest infections as they did up until the middle of the 20th century.
There are side effects from antibiotics too - mainly in the gut where the "Good" bacteria are killed off and yeasts and other "bad" bugs thrive. To countact some of these affects it is said eating natural live yoghurt will help. You may have heard of C.Dif a deadly form of diarrhoea caused by overuse of antibiotics in the elderly.
so over all Not a Good Idea

To be on anti biotics all the time is not a good idea. It kills also good bacteria. How can you restore that while on anti biotics all the time?

There's a doc from Germany that works out of Ottawa, ontario. She tests for strains of bacteria and treats accordingly. Any possibility that LS can originate with a bacteria strain that responds to the antibiotics? And that if it was addressed the LS would be cured. Wishful thinking....

Sad part is - why did it have to be detected so late? If this would have been treated years earlier I probably would have been totally symptom free by now.
O well, I'm on my way and will continue to do what I'm doing.

One of the primary compounds in olive leaf, a substance called oleuropein, has attracted scientific attention since the early 1900s. An iridoid by definition, oleuropein exhibits antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity, and is useful for fighting various types of internal infections. Oleuropein also appears to increase the body’s production of thermogenin, a substance that helps us to burn fat more efficiently.
In early studies, oleuropein demonstrated blood pressure-lowering properties. Studies conducted in Milan have shown that this compound is a potent antioxidant, inhibiting the oxidation of lipids in the blood, and lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. In fact, the antioxidant activity of olive leaf is higher than that of green tea. A significant body of science shows that antioxidant compounds derived from plants provide profound health benefits, and help to reduce the risk of many chronic and degenerative diseases.
Olive leaf is an especially good source of the anti-cancer compounds apigenin and luteolin, and is a source of the anti-malarial agent cinchonine. And oleuropein has also shown protective capabilities against breast cancer.
Olive leaf extract also acts as an anti-inflammatory. Like oxidation, inflammation is a key factor in chronic and degenerative diseases. Animal studies additionally suggest that olive leaf extract may protect against nerve damage, and may be of value in cases of stroke.
