Have you read up on some of the natural remedies? Try looking up "Olive Leaf Extract" and "Colloidal Silver". I know what it is like to be without insurance and you can get these products at a health food store. The internet has a lot of information available that may help you. Also try "alpha lipoic acid". These are all natural remedies that act as antibiotics. You don't have anything to lose by gathering information.
