Hello, Dill:
The levaquin "should" have some anti-AS effects, under the right circumstances. However, it could make things worse, initially, if the gut is compromised. The problem is, the intestinal epithelium has been compromised and the mucosa that was protecting it is damaged by antibiotics.
I have had success with and strongly believe that the most important nutrients for hardening the tract are vitD, vitC, zinc, copper, lysine, glutamine, glycine, vitE, and niacinamide.
But that does not help the immediate problem!
I suggest a fast that should resolve the flare after 4 days. If You are able to take EVOliveOil by the teaspoonful 10X per day, and also take 6g borage seed oil (or equivalent GLA from evening primrose or black currant--and this large dosage is very temporary because too much borage seed oil is not too good, long-term). On the third day of the fast, find some fresh wheatgrass juice: 6-8oz twice during the day should do it and it might be a stretch, but this day is key in eliminating the inflammation, so staying in the fasting mode is money in the bank, by forth day You might have some nausea but finish the fast with a meal of something like scrambled eggs; nothing raw or hard in texture and absolutely nothing with sugar to eat or drink!
Make sure You drink at least 5 quarts of water each day. If You can find or make colloidal silver, drink the equivalent of 2oz @ 20ppM daily; can be added to the water. If You can flush Your sinuses with straight colloidal silver, it could help.
It is unpleasant, but good to take oregano oil in some of the water, violently shaken to mix it up! A small amount is required--as low as 10 drops per quart. There are pills that are enteric-coated, but these should never be taken on an empty stomach; wait until You are able to take these with food.
Regret sunflower seeds are both very starchy and harsh, so can cause a flare quickly--like popcorn!
I hope that You get out of this miserable flare and are able to continue with the surgery right away!
HEALTH,
John
