1. Minocycine, BIOFILMS & the Marshall protocol

[Guest guest]

Hi "tiffrutherf " from Sue,

You asked about Minocycine...

Many have posted in the last year about Problematic BIOFILMS and the Marshall protocol

is used as a treatment for ASD using low dose Minocycine.. among OTHER specific antibiotics

for ridding the biofilms... This treatment takes years----very long term and slow...according to

another MB12er who rarely posts gave me.

Here's a quote from another website on the Marshal protocol about Minocycine....

"That said, proponents of the Marshall Protocol point out that the approach uses very carefully selected, extremely low-dose antibiotics. Particularly minocycline, which has shown to be safe for long-term use, in acne, for instance, when used in this manner, they say, there is much less concern about resistance. Indeed, the MP antibiotic minocycline, which is a bacterial ribosome inhibitor, as opposed to an antibiotic like penicillin that attacks the cell wall, has been used since the 1960s as an acne treatment without the emergence of resistance. Minocycline is actually one of the few antibiotics active against MRSA (multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that has not triggered resistance, although it is only weakly active."

Here is a link from My friend telling more about it as well as her commentary: http://bacteriality.com/

"Our doctor also considers this type of intracellular infection to contribute to autism, as well. She wants us to put our autistic son on the protocol, but we can't afford it yet. Anyway, part of the protocol involves slowly trying to kill off the pathogens. It takes years to do this safely... it's not just a simple detox, but a series of steps in a protocol to trick the pathogens into exposing themselves at certain times, and then your own immune system attacks them and kills them. This process of killing is called "Herxheimer Reaction", some people call it "die-off", but during this time whatever inflammation or symptoms the body has, appear to be far worse for a while, but actually the body does make progress. It's just that the body is in a battle and uses up energy not just for fighting, but for dealing with all the toxins released when the pathogens are killed, as well as dealing with all the "debris" of bacteria "corpses" which puts a strain on the lymphatic system also."

That was my friend's quote,

Don't forget about this study:

http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/161/11/2115

OBJECTIVE: The authors assessed the effects of D-cycloserine on the

core symptom of social impairment in subjects with autism. METHOD:

Following a 2-week, single-blind placebo lead-in phase, drug-free

subjects with autistic disorder were administered three different

doses of D-cycloserine during each of three 2-week periods. Measures

used for subject ratings included the Clinical Global Impression (CGI)

scale and Aberrant Behavior Checklist. RESULTS: Significant

improvement was found on the CGI and social withdrawal subscale of the

Aberrant Behavior Checklist. D-Cycloserine was well tolerated at most

of the doses used in this study. CONCLUSIONS: In this pilot study,

D-cycloserine treatment resulted in significant improvement in social

withdrawal. Further controlled studies of D-cycloserine in autism

appear warranted.
