I have slowly started to become allergic to antibiotics. I have a chronic urological condition (infection) and my doctor has wanted me to take an antibiotic for one week a month to keep it in check. However, the past two I have taken have made me feel itchy all over and the last one gave me a sore, swollen throat. I talked to his nurse today and she told me I have run through all the antibiotics they use for my condition. I am supposed to take a supplement called TheraCran (cranberry) and if I have really bad symptoms, call them and come in for a lab appointment. This is a concern to me as I wonder what I am in store for in the future with using an antibiotic when I really need one. Does anyone have any ideas about what causes this or what I can do to avoid taking one in the future? Anything natural that works? I do eat well and already take several vitamins and supplements. Thanks!

there's a number of herbs with antibiotic properties.. garlic, oregon grape root, golden seal

there's also grapefruit seed extract (lots of precautions of medications that react with grapefruit)

and there's colloidal silver


I don't know anything about your condition so you'd want to look into these before you try them so that you can elminate any that would be bad for you.

Vitamin C helps with allergic reactions.. your body uses it up with every reaction.. even drawing it out of your bones.. taking extra can help control allergic reactions.. I only use it for hay fever type stuff but for that it works wonderfully, I've been able to control my symptoms without any other meds.
