Nelly-

Looking over Stratton's patent materials, in his list

of " Antichlamydial Therapy Directed Toward the Initial

Stage of Chlamydia Infection, " the " cryptic " growth

phase which occurs within the host cell, he lists:

metronidazole (preferred), tinidazole, bamnidazole,

benzinidazole, flunidazole, ipronidazole,

misonidazole, moxnidazole, ronidazole, sulnidazole.

Also he lists nitrofurans class meds: nitrofurantoin

(preferred), nitrofurazone, nifurtimox and about 5

others.

He then adds a third catagory for a " unique class of

antichlamydial agents " which effect both the

replicating and cryptic stationary phase (using his

susceptibility tests in the patent) which include

isoniazid (INH- preferred) niacin, nicotinic acid,

pyrazinamide, ethionamide and aconiazide. (I have

added 1000mg of niacinamide to my regime because of

this-- seems to potentiate the abx a bit)

Of the abx for the replicating phase he lists a bunch.

Your spiramycine isn't on the list. Preferred are

levofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim,

azithromycin, clarythromycin, minicycline and

rifampin. Others are listed as well.

Hope this helps,

Jim

I wrote an email to Stratton asking him specifically

about the Wheldon version of his protocal, since

Wheldon's recommendations are a bit different in terms

of the ongoing abx. Stratton wrote me back saying that

the doxy/zithro combo was fine, but the flagyl is the

key. Pretty much a direct quote.

Hi,

Did Stratton say whether tinidazole could be used

instead of

metronidazole? And whether any cycline/macrolide combo

would do? I am doing

spiramycine + doxy (also taking artemisinin for Babs)

and tinidazole 5 days

every 3 weeks.

I am about to embark on my 2nd period with tinidazole

and after that I

am thinking of switching to another cycline/macrolide

combo

(mino/pristinamycine-it's a 2 macrolide macrolide),

still taking artemisinin btwn

200 mg/day and 200 mg X2 day.

Any comments welcome

Nelly
