Re: MP and ReA

[Guest guest]

Hi Brennan,  Please read my posts carefully.  I never said I was on Doxy.  I

have never been on doxy.  I am only on the antibiotics allowed on the Marshall

Protocol.  When I am finished with the Marshall Protocol, If necessary, then

and only then, will I try the doxy in place of the Minocin in order to prevent

further hyperpigmentation and reinfection.  If it doesn't work as well as the

Minocin, then I will go back to the Minocin.  I suspect I will be on some form

of antibiotic for the rest of my life.  It is plain common sense that even if I

eliminate every single micoplasma in my body, There is always a chance of

reinfection. Micoplasmas are everywhere and everybody has them. I am convinced

that this is not an an autoimmune disease.  In fact, I don't believe there is

such a thing as autoimmune diseases.  I feel that these micoplasmas which do

not have a Cell Wall can and have easily penetrated the cell wall of my immune

cells finally

overpowering them.  I got sick when my immune cells weren't able to handle

the load.  Minocin helped reduce that load and now my immune cells are working

just fine. Since there is always a chance of reinfection as mycoplasmas are

everywhere and most people carry the bacteria.  We get sick when our immune

cells get overwhelmed with the micoplasma infection.  So, taking antibiotics

from time to time after I am done with the Protocols makes sense.  I was on

Minocin only for 21 months and then went on Marshall and added the appropriate

combo of antibiotics according to the Protocol.  I am still on it and have

never deviated from the program.  Please do not give others the impression that

I am using doxy when I am not. I wrote strongly because I do not want any other

person to get confused.  The correct plan I followed was A/P for 20 months. 

When I was well into remission, I prepared for MP as I knew I still had colonies

of micoplasmas still

lurking in my system and felt that I needed to add the other antibiotics in the

Marshall Protocol.  Doxy was definitely not one of those.  Don't mean to

come down hard on you, Brennan.  I just don't want this confusion to get out of

hand.  Thanks for bringing that to my attention.  The best to you all, Dolores

& Mike
