June 2023 Archive — Supplements, Antifungal Choices, and Tick-Related Fatigue
June 2023 brought a focused set of posts about supplements and infection-related health issues. You’ll find practical pieces about plant resins, sugar alternatives, novel supplements, and how to pick antifungal drugs. Below I summarize what each article covers and give quick takeaways you can use today.
The mastic post explains what mastic resin is, why people take it, and the main uses worth trying: digestion support, oral health, and potential antimicrobial effects. If you’re curious about natural options for stomach discomfort or dental care, the article lists typical doses and cautions. Don’t self-treat serious infections—use mastic as a complement, not a replacement for medical care.
The piece on tick fever and chronic fatigue syndrome looks at how tick-borne infections can trigger long-term fatigue in some people. It covers signs that a fatigue problem might be linked to a past tick bite and the types of tests and medical steps to ask your doctor for. Early testing and targeted treatment can change recovery paths, so bring a timeline of symptoms to appointments.
Aletris gets a hands-on review aimed at fitness and energy. The post breaks down claimed benefits like improved stamina and hormonal support, and lists who might notice the biggest changes—active adults and people struggling with low energy. It also points out common side effects and advises checking interactions if you take prescription meds.
The ketoconazole article compares common antifungal drugs and explains when one choice makes more sense than another. You’ll find pros and cons for ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, and terbinafine, plus practical tips on discussing options with your clinician. For stubborn or systemic fungal infections, lab confirmation and specialist input are often needed.
Procaine is presented as a supplement with potential cognitive and anti-inflammatory uses. The post avoids hype and focuses on reported effects, suggested uses, and safety notes. If you’re interested in anti-aging or brain support, it highlights which signs might indicate a useful short trial.
The xylitol article explains how this natural sweetener impacts dental health, gut bacteria, and blood sugar. It gives simple ways to replace table sugar in everyday foods, safe dosages for most adults, and a strict warning: xylitol is toxic to dogs, so keep it away from pets.
A note on safety: always check ingredient lists and third-party testing for supplements. Start at half the suggested dose and track effects for two weeks. Stop if you get side effects. For antifungals or persistent infections, get lab tests and consider a specialist. Keep a med list when you see clinicians.
Quick takeaways
Want practical next steps? Try small, monitored trials for supplements; track symptoms; consult your doctor before combining with drugs; prioritize lab tests for suspected infections; and protect pets from xylitol.
