Immunemodulator alternative to Benicar?

[Guest guest]

A while ago, people on this list were experimenting with and talking

about substances that might be immunemodulators and alternatives to

Benicar in a low-dose antibiotic therapy for lyme.

What are your thoughts by now about an effective alternative to Benicar

for purposes of immunemodulation?

I have developed liver & colon problems from 3 years' of antibiotics.

We went to bicillin IM because my LLMD thought it would affect the GI-

system less. It has been the most effective antibiotic I've been on in

3 years. But, it caused the skin to slough in my mouth & probably

other mucous membranes, and my colon inflammation is worse than ever.

So I've had to stop.

I've been trying some alternative treatments -- rife & cat's claw, and

for immune support I've been trying colostrum & Mannatech's Ambrotose,

plus other vitamins & herbs -- but still am relapsing.

Now the tremors in my brain stem are back, and I don't want to let the

relapse go further.

I think my GI-system could tolerate a low-dose antibiotic therapy,

because there would be time to recover in between. I already have low

blood pressure, and so my LLMD would not put me on Benicar. He said he

tried it when the Protocol using it was new, and had a patient's blood

pressure keep going lower & lower & lower. So now he will only assist

patients who want to try it if they already have high blood pressure.

Would anything else help to make a low-dose antibiotic therapy work for

lyme?

Thank you so much.
