If you do a Culture & Sensitivity Lab, it will show on the Sensitivity part of the lab what antibiotics the bacteria is suseptible and resistant to.  For example, I recently came across a patient with a VRE or Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci, and the only antibiotic it was still suseptible to was Tetracycline.... yes Tetracycline

I think you should order it on http://www.essiac-herbal.com/ or some other website that sells Essiac. I don't know if it is available in the UK, you should google it, but even if the firm is located in the US, you can still pay by Paypal, Western Union ot the like and shipping is easy, you will receive the package in a week. I haven't heard of the treatment you are looking for, but you should check out cesium-chloride too, that is said to be he most effective (though many doctors conceal its existence). Anyway, good luck and get better.

If you have it, you have my sympathies. I suffered from it with other nerve syptoms for three years. 24-7, Oy. It doesn't really have a course. You have it or you don't. Tegretol worked for me, (it is anti-convulsant) although I would still have episodes. If that doesn't work, other anti-convulsants may. It generally can't be cured (in the sense that it will go away. There may be long periods of time where you won't have the symptoms. No one really knows what causes it, or rather there may be many reasons. My doctor discovered that I have a herpes virus next to my trigeminal nerve back in my head. I don't have herpes anywhere else. He guesses it was probably there for ages, maybe since childhood. Something shifted and antigonized the virus. I am on herpes medication, and I haven't had another episode. Go figure. You may have to mess around with meds til you find what works. The surgeries should be a last resort. Works for some, doesn't work for others, some have had the surgery a few times, and still suffers. TN is so rare that there hasn't been a lot of research, you will need to participate in your recovery.

The aims of treatment are to reduce the number and severity of attacks and to prevent tissue damage and loss in the fingers and toes. Most doctors are conservative in treating patients with primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon; that is, they recommend nondrug treatments and self-help measures first. Doctors may prescribe medications for some patients, usually those with secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. In addition, patients are treated for any underlying disease or condition that causes secondary Raynaud's phenomenon.\n\nNondrug Treatments and Self-Help Measures\n\nSeveral nondrug treatments and self-help measures can decrease the severity of Raynaud's attacks and promote overall well-being.\n\nTake action during an attack--An attack should not be ignored. Its length and severity can be lessened by a few simple actions. The first and most important action is to warm the hands or feet. In cold weather, people should go indoors. Running warm water over the fingers or toes or soaking them in a bowl of warm water will warm them. Taking time to relax will further help to end the attack. If a stressful situation triggers the attack, a person can help stop the attack by getting out of the stressful situation and relaxing. People who are trained in biofeedback can use this technique along with warming the hands or feet in water to help lessen the attack.\n\n\nKeep warm--It is important not only to keep the extremities warm but also to avoid chilling any part of the body. In cold weather, people with Raynaud's phenomenon must pay particular attention to dressing. Several layers of loose clothing, socks, hats, and gloves or mittens are recommended. A hat is important because a great deal of body heat is lost through the scalp. Feet should be kept dry and warm. Some people find it helpful to wear mittens and socks to bed during winter. Chemical warmers, such as small heating pouches that can be placed in pockets, mittens, boots, or shoes, can give added protection during long periods outdoors. People who have secondary Raynaud's phenomenon should talk to their doctors before exercising outdoors in cold weather.\n\nPeople with Raynaud's phenomenon should also be aware that air conditioning can trigger attacks. Turning down the air conditioning or wearing a sweater may help prevent attacks. Some people find it helpful to use insulated drinking glasses and to put on gloves before handling frozen or refrigerated foods.

The best thing i can think of is to do the reverse, do it all and then drop one thing at a time and see if it makes any difference.\n\nIf it does, thats the thing you should continue with, if it doesn't then you have eliminated that as part of the successful treatment.\n\nYou may find it is a combination of all of these things that are having a positive effect.\n\nIf that is the case, what is the minimum amount of treatment you need to stay healthy?  Reduce all the treatments by the tiniest bit at a time and see when it starts to make a telling difference, this way you know what the minimum level of treatment should be.\n\n\nI hope this is of some help in finding out - best wishes for a speedy and sustained recovery.

I'm told this is easily treatable.  Contact some phycologist, and talk to him/her.

you may refer to any of the sites on Dr. V. Ramachandran,. Director, Center for Brain and Cognition, and Professor of Psychology at USC, San Diego.  He discusses phantom pains elaborately.  You can understand the physiology/psychology apart form treatment.  His is a nobel prize worthy effort.  You will enjoy reading him.
