You want this thing DEAD! I had a friend explore the holistic approach. If it doesn't work, you are much further down the road and possibly flirting with quality of life issues. At best, you will wonder about every sore throat from now on. There have to be people who have taken that approach successfully. I just haven't met anyone.

The treatment plan I was on has a track record of working along with the requisite percentages of success. After my "all clear", I sleep like a baby. I still have percentages to think about but I am certain I did everything I could to kill that lousy disease.

This is for certain: whichever path you choose the wonderful people on this board are right there with you!
