I have tried coconut oil with no luck unfortunately I'm not sure about grated coconut though, that might be worth a try.
I think I also might give in and take antibiotics. I haven't tried the bamboo shoots, carrot with vinegar, or grated coconut yet though. So maybe I'll order antibiotics and use those other three methods in the meantime.
I think that raw carrots and cooked bamboo shoots, and even activated charcoal are going to be of minor help when it comes to anaerobic putrefactive bacteria.
The first two are mildly antibiotic, and not strong enough for your case. Activated charcoal is broadly targeted against all bacteria, and it adsorbs bacteria away from the gut.
The antibiotics you mention are broad spectrum and don't do nearly enough against anaerobes, especially when they have developed biofilms to protect themselves.
Probiotics, in my opinion, have the beneficial fermentative kind of anaerobes that get to interact with the putrefactive anaerobes in the anaerobic reaches of the gut. With a strong enough dosage over time, these good bacteria will come to dominate over the bad ones, and the bad ones will become fringe, as their power and harmful effect wanes.
I just think having and using the right tools for the situation should be kept in mind. There's a time and a place for each of them.
Magnesium needs to be balanced with potassium and sodium. So if you are taking one without the others issues can arise.I got a blood test done for sodium and potassium. This is another recent development of them being low. They've always been near the top end of the range and are now at the bottom. They started lowering after I started supplementing at least 400-600 mgs of magnesium on top of my diet that also contained around 600mgs of magnesium, and I was taking daily Epsom salt baths.
It could be coincidence, but I'm hoping it was the excessive magnesium and not something more serious.
Excessive renin and angiotensin might be the cause though. I think my ras is up regulated due to endotoxin caused by this nasty sulfur bacteria.
@peateats1:Thank you guys! I'll give these suggestions a try. I'm going to start with adding vinegar to the carrot salad and add some baking soda to oj.
I'm a little scared to try probiotics at this point but I may look into those if I can't get this sorted.
This sucks because this all started after I took bacteriophages I was doing so well before that.
