CAT SCRATCH FEVER

There is one health care provider who has an herbal formula for Bartonella. He refuses to tell anyone what is in it. Judging from the antibiotics alone that are also good for Tuberculosis and Staph, I suspect there is some Usnea in it and other herbs that are good for staph, strep, TB.... Because I am an herbalist and a control freak, I have trouble with this idea and haven't given it to my child. If I make someone an herbal formula, I'm going to tell them what is in it. Though if this herbalist / health care practitioner wants to compare himself to the pharmaceutical company's he will still look good. Unless someone has an allergic reaction, goes to the hospital and is asked what they are on? In any case Anja is getting much better on the antibiotics which are a much shorter course than the mystery herb formula would be. She was experiencing some bad pains but not so much lately. Huge improvement. She still has till the beginning of October on the medication. She had a lot of calf / shin and hip pains as well as neck and head aches, among other less definitive symptoms. So far she hasn't had any of the problems considered side effects of antibiotics. Maybe thanks to the fact that she is using herbs, including Pau D' Arco, Terri and Karen's trishrooms, Milky Oats, Cherry concentrate regularly and others sporadically or as needed / wanted. Her favorite being watermelon. Which was recommended by one of her doctors. She will never forget him. Oh yeah... Anja is almost done with Harry Potter and if we'd give her more time to read she would have been a long time ago, but we've had so many opportunities to swim and be outside this summer. It appears to be over here already. Forty degrees last night, might freeze tonight. Brrrr!
