Cystic fibrosis and antibiotics:

Several have rushed to the aid of one woman whose son is reacting to antibiotics given to him for cystic fibrosis.

Try Ambrotose Glyconutrients from Mannatech, which is being trialled among 100 children with cystic fibrosis. To counteract the effects of the antibiotics, another reader suggests homeoopathic Bowel nosodes, although it's best done in consultation with a homoeopath. Other nosodes that could help include Nux Vomica 6C, while the standard detox option is Sulphur 6C. Nutritionally, try Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bifidus. Another reader has a similar remedy, but suggests BioCare's Bifido infantis, which should be kept in the fridge.
