About three nasty colds/viruses a month!!

I get colds and respiratory viruses maybe three times a month. My ENT doc wanted to put me on abx for a sinus infection, but then it turned out I didn't have a sinus infection.

Some are just colds, others are accompanied by fever, and one or two turned into bronchitis. One of the worst ones I had was accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and the cold to boot!

So why do I keep getting these x@#^&* colds (for lack of a better word) over and over?

They're usually accompanied by the hot sweats, but my guess is that anytime I get sick, it triggers the BABs.

I am so mad that I'm having another cold (with asthma, of course).

Immuneglobulin deficiency may be contributing. Have you looked into IVIG as treatment for the low Immuneglobulin?

Razzle, At one point, I did test positive for an immunoglobulin deficiency, and used IVIG, well, actually, it was an infusion, so the plasma went under the skin.

Then, I got really tired of doing it, plus, was afraid of using plasma from the blood supply, so I started Xymogen, and it worked really well, bc I tested in the normal range.

Then, Xymogen upped their price, and stopped selling their product commercially.

Now, I use Transfer Factor. Meanwhile, even when I was in the "normal" range, I got an infected thumb and then an infected finger. All I had on my thumb was a tiny speck in the cuticle, and it got massively infected and required surgery, and the removal of the nail.

I treated the finger myself, with soaks, garlic oil, etc.

I kept getting colds, and then worse, about three times a month.

I'm going to get my immunoglobulin tested again.

The IGIV is too expensive anyway. My health insurance only pays a teeny part of it.

My ND told me to get elderberry syrup. It seems pretty worthless though.

I swear, sometimes I wish it were all over, were it not for my dogs, the sounds of the birds singing, the view from my deck, reading, etc.

Sometimes I ask God either to make me better or to let me go, but nothing happens!!

I'm so tired of colds, asthma, diarrhea, nausea, sweats and chills, fevers, and HERXING.

GRRRRRR.

Yes, but how much should I take?

Margaret

Ok.

And you think this might significantly help my immune system?

What about GERD?

I remember Adele Davis used to prescribe Vit. C to her patients who were in the hospital.

Margaret

Hey Razz.,

I took two of the Vit. C today, and tomorrow, I will try three . . . .

Yes, I do all that stuff for GERD--the licorice, the zinc, the enzymes, the probiotics, and the elevated bed. My ENT doctor was impressed.

However, the more antimicrobials I take the worse it gets.

I'm now using baking soda.

I'm using colostrum for the immune problem, and just amped up my dose. Also take a homeopathic remedy called Winter Balance II.

This cold seems shorter than the others did, plus, no fever or vomiting. We count small blessings, heh?
