Me with spots


After the dentist

Just to complete the saga after my Dentist experience!
After my doctor gave me a double dose of really strong anti-biotics the infection calmed down.
The Wednesday after I had finished the tablets I suddenly came out in a rash which proceeded to get more pronounced. By the Thursday, I woke up covered from top to toe in spots and felt ill. My whole ntist,looked like I had the measles. I then went to bed and didn’t get up until Saturday afternoon. I think I slept most of the time and felt extremely tired and unwell.

Today one week later after the holiday I managed to get an appointment at the doctors.
Oh said the doctor, ‘It looks like an allergic reaction to the anti biotics!’
‘You do know that I am allergic to penicillin, don’t you?’ I said to the doctor.
‘There was penicillin in one of the antibiotics1’ he said looking at his computer screen.
‘Oh, I said’, and I left.

What I found hard to believe is that I have been with the same GP for years who knew all my medical history and he didn’t ask me whether I was allergic to anything.
I did not think about it because I felt so ill at the time and it was the last thing on my mind.

It is amazing that the whole episode could have been less complicated if the dentist had treated me correctly in the first place.

Naughty Dentist

I thought I might write up a follow on from my experience at the dentist.
Apparently the person who pulled my tooth at the emergency dentist should never have. The infection started to go through my body and I was being poisoned. It was a good job my mate Fred
Suggested I go to the doctors or it could have been worse than it was. I should complain so that it does not happen to anyone else!

I do not visit the doctors often, once a year if I am lucky. I believe in the power of thought and taking care of myself.
I know that sometimes the doctor has to be consulted. They are there to do a job, but sometimes some people use drugs when they could go for an alternative remedy instead.


Just to give you a quick example of how Aromatherapy can help. My son was continually having ear infections and my friend Sarah who is a great holistic therapist suggested I try oils.
After using Roman Camomile, Extract of grapefruit seed or Citricidal by Higher Nature and Tea Tree in a drop of good quality almond oil, Joshua has never had another anti biotic for an ear infection and now he is 8 years of age.
Heat up the almond oil or any good quality base oil in a spoon with the aromatherapy oils and twist a piece of cotton wool up into a small spiral and let the cotton wool soak up the oils. Make sure the cotton wool is not too hot by testing it on the back of your hand first. Twist the Cotton wool into the ear and it should stay in place until the ear infection subsides.


I use to make it into a game with Joshua. He is used to taking different alternative remedies so I do not have much of a problem.



The oils I use are by Auroma and they are one of the best pure organic oils on the market. I am in the process of putting a link onto my site so that people can purchase these oils directly.
