Re: Antibiotics and Feeling Better: IBS/Crohns

[Guest guest]

Antibiotics need to be for a significant duration. For C.Jadin protocl duration

needed (no CFS symptoms remaining) was at least 3 month, average 9 month,... max

???. For Prof Nicolson, it was 9 months min, 18 months average.

For my own remission in 2001, it was 18 months of high dosage, multiple

antibiotics.

Recently I have been reading studies (2011,2012 pub med articles) on the use of

Rifamycin. Best results (highest percentage) for inducing remission were on 200

mg @ 3times/day for an average of 16.8 weeks.

Results were some 70% went into remission....
