Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I am a preoperative female to male transexual. I've been on androgens for a few years and live in a male identity. Starting in a month I will begin surgery. I will have chest reconstruction, a hystorectomy, and an 11 stage phalloplasty procedure. From past patients, I've learned that minor infections are very common and sometimes major infections do occur requiring long term IV antibiotic therapy. I really hate the thought of antibiotics but will have to have them if it's at the point of no return. I have been starting on echinacea and magnetic rings and feet clips. Does anyone know about these treatments being useful in post surgical recovery? Thanks - Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Tim... I dont know about post-surgical recovery with these but I do know that I would be careful with the dosing of echinacea. Short term it can be wonderful, but in my experience, used long term the immune system can just " bottom-out " which can leave you open to all kinds of problems. I have much better results with the 'total tonic' in the files.. taken daily. Garlic and the other ingrediants are natural infection fighters and 'no risk'. blessings to you Tim.. spot herbal remedies , " Tim " <tgenaw82 wrote: > > I am a preoperative female to male transexual.
