Medical Forum / General / General / June 2007HIGH WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT
My aging mother is in the hospital. She is running a high white cell count around 29000.Doctor says that they have run out of anibotics to fight the infection. How long can she maintain life if they are unable to fight the infection. She has all sorts of other issues ,but am concerned with fighting infections. > My aging mother is in the hospital.

The best people to ask this question to is the doctors taking care of her. Jeff On Jun 28, 11:47 am, FGJOH...@YAHOO.COM wrote: > My aging mother is in the hospital.

Does she have a VRE or some other nasty creature that has become antiobiotic resistant or is she in MLK Hospital in Los Angeles and they have run out of antiobiotics because they spent their money on tofu? Antibiotics come in 2 basic flavors - bacteriostat and bacteriocide. If she has run the course of all bacteriostats, perhaps a bacteriocide will work? But, unless she is in a hospital without an infectious disease unit (in which case you should move her to a hospital that has one) - they will know what to do. When she gets home, make her start ingesting lots of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and also 1 drop of PURE oil of Oregano daily. My current research at the Univ. of Houston is on phytochemical antibiotics and pure oil of oregano has been as effective as penicillin and streptomycin on some of our cell lines. Hope she gets better soon! CB |
