Pulmonary Hypertension: Pressure Reduced While on Antibiotic Protocol

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

In January of this year, I had reported that since starting the Antibiotic

Protocol in August of 2010, my ANA had gone down from an all-time high of 1:1280

to 1:160. This post is located here:

I promised at the time that I would return to report the results of my March

2011 echocardiogram when they came in to see if my pulmonary hypertension

pressure has also gone down.

For the past three years, I have been dismayed to watch it go up from 29, to 34,

to 41 in June 2010. I have been seeing a pulmonary hypertension specialist who

is aware I am on AP but does not specifically endorse it. I am pleased to report

that since being on AP for nine months, this month's echocardiogram shows a

reduced pressure of 33!

My PH specialist is thrilled and told me " Keep doing what you are doing. " I

would strongly suggest that if you have scleroderma and are staring down the

abyss of pulmonary hypertension that you consider AP if you haven't already!
