Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Jelly, The one area where I still respect Dr. M is his choice of antibiotics. I still think there is good reason to use his selection unless you cannot tolerate one or more of them. He uses minocycline, then azithromycin, then clindamycin, then Septrim or Bactrim for brief periods of time. Based on my experience this combo has worked beautifully for me and a lot of other people I know of. My KNOWN infections were mycoplasma incognitus, mycoplasmal pneumonia, borrelia, MRSA and probably babesia (for which I added Mepron to Zithromax for 4 months). a Tony said, " The staph areus that is MRSA is treated with minocycline/rifampin combo- I don't see how succesfully this has been done, but it's in the literature.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Mino targets over 200 organisms- I just don't think it cures peopel of too much. In your own discriptions of what is happening I would look over the page because all your doing is piano accordioning your body and the fact that you swell when mini dosing may actually give you a boost as far as hydration goes...But it sounds like your just tinkering on a knfe edge if it takes weeks and months of feeling shit to get some form of feeling better for the cycle just to begin again... - -- In infections , " jellybelly92008 " <herranenb@...> wrote: > > Tony said, " The staph areus that is MRSA is treated with > minocycline/rifampin > combo- I don't see how succesfully this has been done, but it's in > the literature.
