Local bacteriologists tells us that HP-treatment must be carried out very
carefully - every single dose in right time - that the patient's compliance to
treatment makes the differance.
Could that be the problem? It seems to me if your message is spiced with doubt
the patient is more likely to eradicate the treatment rather than the bacteria.
Has anyone managed to take antibiotics without forgetting any single dose - I
certainly haven't...
