Re: More on Tylan - the livestock abx

among quite a few other microorganisms. I wonder why they haven't used

this on humans? Any guesses?

Seems to be in the "developmental" stages for humans. If you look around, Tylan apparently kills a wide range of bugs other than the the standard ones tageted by macrolides. Apparently it works against spirochetes, parasites, mycoplasma, fungi, etc. My friend's dog has been sick ever since she brought it home. She gave it Tylan and the red yeast problem it had (oozing red from eyes) cleared up in a day. Might be worth investigating further. I think I should at least get some for my dog, see how he does. Especially since I don't need a prescript and you can buy large amounts (for livestock). penny <usenethod@...> wrote: Seems to be a macrolide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrolide> Check this out.

I know zith is active on borrelia and treponema (spiros), babesia

(parasite), and at least some mycoplasmae. Fungi I haven't heard about.

Still, even within a drug class, one agent can be a lot more useful

than another in a given situation for various reasons.

For instance I still haven't found any satisfying info on any

macrolides that penetrate the intact BBB. This is a bit of an

aggravation, since I don't have any strong evidence that my BBB is

non-intact. My current guess is that the plurality of CFS cases may

well be inflammatory states primarily of the CNS. This would explain

the relative paucity of peripheral immunoactivity findings relative to

almost all other immune diseases.
