Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia treatment studies
pneumonia
If you have a virus that resulted in pneumonia, while allopathic medicine has little in the way of anti-virals, there are plants that have anti-viral properties. Olive leaf and elderberry are two examples. Herb Pharm makes a tincture that helps with virus control. That being said, though, and assuming this is viral in nature, once you have pneumonia you have progressed significantly through the viral process already and the more important thing is clearing the lungs.
I have been having health problems for a few years with no explanation. I have never smoked. I have been being treated for pneumonia for 3 months. The treatment is not working. The doctor has told me that event though he sees some changes in the area where the pneumonia is, that there is a white spot on my right lung that has appeared in all my xrays. He asked if I was sick before the pneumonia diagnosis and the answer is yes.
Does anyone have any information on current or recent studies on this disease? I was recently diagnosed and would welcome any information. My T3 and T4 are normal but microsomal antibodies are 192(high). Thinning hair and weight gain are my concerns.
To learn more, researchers have now gathered the best studies looking at acid-suppressing drugs and pneumonia. They pooled the results of these studies to see what conclusions they could draw from this larger body of research.
What does the new study say?
Overall, people taking acid-suppressing drugs were between 22 percent and 27 percent more likely to get pneumonia than people not taking these treatments.
t know yet, will be retested in Feb. I stopped tx after 8 months because I had pneumonia for 6 weeks and after that some kind of infection every month. Just could not take it any longer. Thought I'd bounce back right away and am really down and out that I still feel so bad.
If you get a different type of cancer or die of pneumonia from the treatment, again, a successful treatment. Until the profit is out of funding of studies and results, it will be difficult to get truly great info which is why so many "settled" therapies are unsettled by further research a few years down the road. So yes, there are "studies," but none that would meet the standards of peer review allopathic studies supposedly (but don't really) meet.
KukkaMany Patients with ALTs in the High-Normal Range Have Liver DamageHistorically, researchers have assumed that HBV-infected people who have normal ALT levels have little or no liver damage and do not require treatment. However, recently the “healthy range” of ALT levels has been markedly reduced, and now Australian and Chinese researchers have found that many HBV-infected people with reportedly “normal” ALT levels have significant liver damage.
This is a long shot, but does anyone know of any new experiemental programs in Taiwan using Protease. I really want to start now instead of going through this treatment and/or relapsing or being non-responsive.
I have been recently working on some clinical studies on anxiety and I was wondering if anybody knew of any clinical support services? I have looked into a few and came across some that sound pretty good. I was wondering if anybody has ever worked with TransPerfect Trial Interactive before? I checked out their website, TrialInteractive, and they seem pretty solid but I would like to hear other people's take on it. What do you guys think? or does anybody have any other suggestions?
We took him back to his doctor and had x-rays taken. He then had pneumonia in his right lower lobe and was put on Cleocin for 10 days. Once he was off the Cleocin he started having fever again and still had his cough. Took him back to his doctor and had more x-rays. He had pneumonia again, but in his left lower lobe. He was put back on Cleocin. Ended up taking him to Children's hospital where they treated him for pneumonia for 2 days then sent home to take Cefdinir for 12 days.

I was diagnosed with pneumonia 6 weeks ago. I was on oral antibiotics for 2 days, then admitted with an IV drip for 3 days (levifloxacin, as I'm allergic to penicillin-based drugs) then given a 5 day course of oral clarithromyacin. I rested for 2 more weeks after finishing the antibiotics but was still coughing yellow mucus and feeling tired with moderate/mild activity.
Buddy was diagnosed with pneumonia and has gone through a course of doggy antibiotics and 3 courses of human antibiotics. The right lung is full of fluid. He would get better, then be energetic and get worse. It was suggested that he may not have pneumonia but CHF. Is there anything to do to help him. The vet doesn't seem to have any suggestions. Would a diuretic help? He's starting to not eat now.
Hi, I'm in Knoxville Tn, and I'm looking for information on the trail studies for Hep C treatment for my mom. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start?
Hi bibban12,
The thing about pneumonia is it's just a broad term for lung inflammation, and the air sacs filling up with fluid, but it isn't a specific diagnosis of what caused the pneumonia.
I second that call for a chest xray. It could be anything from pneumonia, to a rib problem.. and being a previous heavy smoker it could be even more serious than that. However, it could also be something like GERD or gastritis (extreme acid in the stomach). Still better safe than sorry.

Have just been rejected for a La Jolla phase 3 trial for Ifn previous treatment failures. The coordinator took lots of info from me and then told me co-infection patients were not allowed despite the fact that the trial listing was for failed or non-responder patients and HIV co-infection was not listed as a disqualifying condition. I have exhausted all options, been on Ifn riba for 10 years now, intermittent, repeated rebound, until the bone marrow has collapsed.
The various causes of patch on a chest xray when you had chest pain as the chief complaint could be emphysema, pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung abscess, rib fracture, lobar atelectasis, malignant lesions etc. wait for the meeting, carry any old xrays or other imaging studies of chest for comparison. Make note of any constitutional symptoms like fever, cough, and weight loss. Consult a pulmonologist after your physician. Management would be according to the cause. Hope this helps. Take care.
