Home remedies for sickness linked to depression

Hi,
I know that my depression is linked to my general health and i am trying very hard to crack the code to better health. I have been exercising for the past couple moths (except i have slacked the last few days because travel). I have been battling with serious bacterial infections and fungal infections for years and need some advice.The doctors prescribe antibiotics and antifungal medications but don't seem to work anymore. This is very discouraging to me because they don't have any other answers but to up the dosage. And what happens when those don't work? My body is all sorts of out of wack now because of them and have lost faith in a lot of aspects of the pharmaceutical industry. I hope there is someone else that has the same issues (not that I would wish this on anyone) and has found other ways to cope with these ailments. I know these issues are linked to my depression and constant tiredness.

I am currently trying one probiotic a day and 3 oil of oregano once I am feeling an infection coming on. Should I be taking one of each of these a day regardless of feeling an infection? I rinse my sinuses with a saline solution from a netty pot. I drink lots of water or at least try. I drink tea, rest a lot, and stay warm when I have a cold. I take emergen-C when I feel a cold coming on which I think works. Are there any other things you have tried that work? My body feels like it is getting back on track, but another bacterial infection has popped up and am very discouraged. I will accept any advice. Thank you!

What infections are we talking about here? Do you have a poor immune system?

I think I have a poor immune system caused by possibly herpes type 1 or something else that I don't know about yet. I get sinus infections, lung infections, bladder infections/ Urinary tract infections, yeast infections and vaginal bacterial infections. If it isn't one thing it's the other. I can't remember I time that I haven't at least had one. I think what I am doing now is helping a bit though. It's just scary when I feel one coming on. Thank you for responding.

Personally I'd ask a doctor. If your current doctor is not helpful find another. I know with some medicines (like antibiotics) the body builds up resistance to them so the doctor usually has to either increase the dose or switch the medication. Also, I could see just being sick all the time making you depressed.

My understanding is that heavy anitbiotic use actually LEADS to yeast and fungal infections. It also, as 88Butterfly88 pointed out, causes resistance (not just for yourself but for everyone) to the antibacterials. I won't even use antibacterial soap and other products.

There are some natural remedies for skin based fungal infections including some essential oils. My sister in law had great success with rosemary oi.

And, I know this sounds really hokey, but I've another friend who had great success after seeing a (chinese) naturopath
