Anyone here have any experience with antibiotics? Seems like after Sandy might be useful to have some around for whatever may pop up. Colloidal silver will even take out mrsa. Beyond that I am empty.

Cephalexin:
Cephalexin is a prescription antibiotic licensed to treat and prevent bacterial infections. It comes in either capsule or liquid form in a variety of strengths. Infections that can be treated with the drug include bone infections, middle ear infections, and respiratory tract infections. It can also be used to prevent heart valve infections. Possible side effects of cephalexin include diarrhea, headache, and upset stomach.
Colloidal silver will even take out mrsa.
potentially deadly Clostridium dificile GI tract infection.

Google argyria and read up on it before you even think of taking this stuff.
What really sucks is when you cdiff as a side effect of a prescribed antibiotic given by a doc for an infection it turns out you didn't have in the first place. Happened to a family member, resulted in several days of hospitializtion. If someone who supposedly knows what they are doing can make this sort of mistake (the original diagnosis was just plain wrong because the doc could not tell the difference between dental work he was told about and osteomeyletis on the cat scan), just imagine the kind of mistake you can make by guessing.
I'm going to venture a guess - someone had some surgery (maybe some surgical extractions or something) and on the CT it looked like an area of reduced 'moth-eaten' appearance bone density?
That's not surprising - radiographically, an area of a previous surgical/traumatic extraction can look the same as osteomyelitis or even a malignant process.
Colloidal silver is not an antibiotic. It's a product marketed towards naive people.
I'm not a big fan of this fish antibiotic fad - I'm not convinced that the controls are the same.
Many people have no idea how to take a proper regimen even when it's written out for them on the bottle. Incomplete regimens lead to incomplete treatments, recurrence, and additional resistance. Furthermore, without knowledge of what you're infected with, the antibiotic you choose may be totally ineffective against the bugs you're trying to treat. Additionally, if you're not well versed in the effects you can end up in big trouble - for example, cephalexins and other cephalosporins can have upwards of a 10% cross-sensitivity rate in patients with a anaphylactic-type reaction to penicillin, which can end your life very quickly. You might take some cleocin for an infection and not realize that it can cause a higher rates of a potentially deadly Clostridium dificile GI tract infection. Or if you took some metronidazole for an infection (like the aforementioned pseudomembranous colitis) you might find it totally ineffective (only works against anaerobic bacteria) or you might get extremely sick because you went drinking with your buddies, not realizing that metronidazole and alcohol are a very bad combination.
These are very basic things that docs have pounded into them relentlessly while in training and are pretty much automatically considered and accounted for. If you don't know the drugs, you can screw yourself up pretty bad.
Just to second........ Having c.diff blows... I thought I was going to die.... If you do stock up on antibiotics, do your home work thoroughly
So believe me it is not for naive people.
It most certainly is for naive people. Show me a good RCT that proves any of these effects.
You mean like the same trials they use to approve the drugs we get persribed now, many which show death as a side effect?
Seriously, maybe we should also revisit how many people are killed by doctors evey year by something that wasn't the primary reason for the initial visit.
If you don't like home remedies, just say that. Don't turn others away from things you've never tried.

While honey isn't a cure-all it certainly helps.
