Success rate of treatments

[Guest guest]

My 16 yr old is under the care of Dr. J in DC. We have only two weeks of abx

completed, and I am concerned about our treatment decisions. First, I can't

convince my husband he has lyme, because we have been dealing with the autism

since 18months . He is high functioning,but has damage to his brain and obvious

inflammation determined by the spect scan this Nov. Has anyone had any success

with the long term abx protocol that Dr. J uses? Has anyone had success with the

Cowden/ nutramedix protocol? I have concerns about these high powered abx. He

threw up violently last night from taking them without sufficient amount of

food. The worst part of all this is the mental instability. He has mood swings

and violent rages. I am concerned about family safety when these episodes occur.

Has anyone else experienced this and what have they been doing for controlling

this problem? he currently is on 100 mg. of Lamictal, but I think he needs with

more or something to go with it. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Bettina
