Might be helpful: A hazard of antimicrobials is yeast overgrowth and die-off can happen with anti-fungals. Colon cleansing including coffee enemas and colonics can help; taking binding substances like chorella and charcoal can also help, as can antioxidants and molybdenum. See http://www.betterhealthguy.com/images/stories/PDF/pha_special_levin.pdf for a good overview of treating intestinal yeast overgrowth.

Herxheimer Reaction: The die-off may be going too quickly. If you are using a doc prescribed medicine ask him/her about lowering the dose. If over the counter back off a little. Your body is killing off faster than you can expel the results. Peace and good health.
