Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Hi Gloria, I have sent you the doctors' list by private mail and will send it to anyone who wants it. The list is pretty big now and we can't put it on the web as we don't have each individual doctor's permission to do so.

I have only tried the allopurinol/metronidazole combo as well as clotrimazole alone. I have had my most major improvements using these drugs. Even though I have tried and used this protocol, I never stopped taking minocycline. I finished an additional 6 week course of clotrimazole just a few weeks ago. My " plan " was to take the clotrimazole for 6 weeks and then start IV Cleocin (clindy). But the additional course of clotrimazole had put me in such a good state, when I went back to the doctor, he suggested that I didn't need IVs and wouldn't prescribe them (in essence, he thought I was too healthy to take IVs! To hear that felt really great to say the least!) Since I am convinced that multiple antibiotics are warranted (based on the theory that most of us have multiple mycoplasma infections) we decided to put me on zithromax in addition to minocycline, for the time being. By the way, the zithromax is herxing me pretty badly, so apparently I have more critters to kill. Also, the antifungal antibiotics can (and did in me) cause MASSIVE herxes like no other! By the end of my last course of clotrimazole, the herxes had almost, if not completely, stopped. This makes me wonder if I have reached the limit of what the antifungals can do for me, but I really don't know. I may yet take another 6 week course of clotrimazole in a few months, but I plan to stay on just zithromax and minocin for the time being. So with the exception of the recent zithromax herxes, I have been at around 90% improvement and held those improvements for almost a year now. Needless to say I am thrilled! Good luck to you and all and if you or anyone else has any more questions about any of my protocols, please just ask and i will answer to the best of my ability. Great health to all! j. --------------------------------------------- ph A. Graff Director of Digital Prepress Graphic Communications, Inc.
