about antibiotics therapy/

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the update ,

The results are encouraging and your client is lucky to have you on her side.

What I want to know is why many people on the AP get relief for a period of

time, say several years, and then find that the RA returns full force ? If the

AP was any good, this wouldn't happen. They then have to take

different/stronger antibiotics. It seems that the AP is not a cure, but a

measure to control the mycoplasma or inflammation, which I'm not saying is a bad

thing, but why do the effects wane in the long term ? Of course, any relief for

any period of time is of great value, but it makes me doubt it's true

effectiveness - is it just another drug like the DMARDS ? I realise that

auto-immune conditions are not diseases that just go away, and that any sort of

therapy to bring relief is better than nothing - it's an awful disease. It's

just that I am feeling uncertain about antibiotics and am stalling on taking my

prescription. It's not that I have much choice anyway - the disease is taking

it's toll on me and I'm not getting any better when left to my own devices. I

am so worried that antibiotics will cause more damage to me than good - don't

they say that many illnesses result from the use of antibiotics ? How can AP be

of any good to me then ? I guess if I do all the right things like take

pro-biotics and supps etc, I can counter the side effects. I know all these

things and have mulled it around in my head endlessly, but it's hard to take the

leap of faith and give it a go.

Thanks for listening...
