I've been doing some research on this and ran across a few things I wanted to post here. Welcome any feedback, etc.

Collodial Silver
articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/07/03/antibiotics-colloidal-silver.aspx

They may be inclined to change their tune however, in light of the latest research which shows that low doses of silver can make antibiotics up to 1,000 times more effective, and may even allow an antibiotic to successfully combat otherwise antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Sugar
www.livescience.com/14124-sugar-improves-antibiotic-treatment-persistent-bacterial-infections.html

The results show sugar can make certain antibiotics more effective at wiping out bacterial infections. The sugar tricks bacteria that would otherwise play dead into consuming the antibiotic and therefor end up really dead.

Green Tea

In almost every case and for all types of antibiotics they tested, the researchers found that drinking green tea at the same time as taking the antibiotics appeared to increase the action of the antibiotics and reduce drug resistance in bacteria. In certain cases, even low concentrations of green tea were effective.

I have no idea if these work. I do know that overdoing collodial silver can make your skin gray.

I am one of those people that gets all the side effects of antibiotics or any pharmaceuticals. I avoid them as much as possible.

I can't imagine how people take an aspirin like it is candy and feel nothing. I notice it!!

wow, interesting, never heard of any of this! I wouldn't try the sugar idea though....

Mercola seems to be cutting edge with many things and I'm aware of people who use collodial silver for other reasons. It's a very interesting concept to think it can make antibiotics more effective.

The sugar concept is not ingestion of sugar with abx - it's more that sugar is used within the abx capsule almost liposomally.

Buhner recommends EECG (active component of green tea) in his Bartonella protocol. As we all know, green tea has many benefits (as long as it's organic and not sourced from China).

And, I apologize for mentioning this yet again but, in keeping with the title of the thread, Japanese Knotweed can also make antibiotics more effective. Since it crosses the blood brain barrier, it can "extend the reach" of antibiotics. It, too, can prevent antibiotic resistance.

(I edited your post to make those great links into hyperlinks)

Thanks for sharing, Rikky1!!!

Green tea seems the easiest if you don't want to turn gray or intake sugar. I was reading this article (well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/23/whats-in-your-green-tea/) and realized my Green Tea (Bigelow) while containing a good amount of ECGC did have some lead. While Teavana is the most expensive it seemed to do well (from Japan). If anyone has found a cheaper/safer source please share!

Good info Rikki1!

Chapelle,

It's hard to type out the instructions for a hyperlink because weird things happen but, I'll try....

Before the link type url inside this bracket: [ and this one: ]

After the link, still use the brackets and url but type / before the url.

Hope this helps.

Here is the way I do hyperlinks:

You can't do it in Quick Reply.

You click on Post Reply (or post new topic) and then you

1. click the button that says URL
2. paste your link
3. click the button that says URL again.

Easy Peasy!
