What is the Antibiotic Protocol?

[Guest guest]

Hi Barb A protocol in medicine are the guidelines for taking a drug, with ref to the quantity, frequency and contraindications etc- I think! Antibiotics, mainly minocycline are taken by as a DMARD by many Rheumatoid Arthritis sufferers.The protocol was originated by McPherson Brown in the 1950s who believed that RA was caused by an invading germ/virus-like life form in our bodies called mycoplasma. Like all the other DMARDs, it has mixed results from total remission to nothing in patients taking it. The antibiotic is said to eliminate the mycoplasma. Other researchers say that the antibiotic has only an anti-inflammatory effect and does not stop the disease damage. The Jury is still out.

I haven't been on itlong enough. I have high hopes since I've tried tofind something that would not cause other probs for myorgans. I do have a higher energy level, but stillexperiencing painful flare-ups. From all I've read onthis sight, I need to give it at least 6 months to ayear. Since Ive been battling for about 8 yrs, I wantto give it at least a year. I would like to be on agroup that is just RA and LDN since most of these areMS related...so many to sort through.Good Luck to you, --- leonie cent <leoniecentbigpond> wrote:> Hi everyone,> > I've been inactive on the list for a while, but I'm> still interested
