Re: new here - severe inflammation issues

[Guest guest]

Have you tried macrolide antibiotics which have besides

antimocrobial activity also immunomodulatory properties? I have got

great relief from it (Roxitromycin), but one must take it for

several weeks or even months to get most out of it. Anyway it has

started to help me already within 3-4 days. When I have taken it

with Prednisone, it has had most effect.

I would also encourage anyone with inflammation to take Zithromax. It

works for a lot of us. Of course, I don't think it is working as an

immune modulator. I think it is killing chronic infection inside the

immune cells. This would look like it was reducing inflammatioh when,

in fact, it was reducing the CAUSE of inflammation.

You might want to do a google search for the Roadback Foundation and

Dr. Gabe Mirkin, also, Dr. Franco and read all you can. It may

be a revelation and a life saver.

I have used Zithromax and it's sister drug,

Roxithromycin. The price of Zithromax in the USA is

over 6 dollars a pill, but you can buy Roxithromycin

for about 20 cents a pill, on the internet. They are

very close and have the same effect, but Roxithromycin

is hard to get in the USA. It would under cut sales

of Zithromax here. Jimd

Well.. not everyone.

I had a bad biliary reaction to it.

I beleive it's the way it's metabolized- which is not

the same as erythromycin is metabolized (which is thru the liver).

I really think the day needs to come where Dr.s run a P450 panel

so they know ahead of time who'll be able to metabolize what - and

who will be those 1% or less that can't metabolze certain popular

drugs.

Then we won't be arguing over what's a drug reaction and what's a

herx.

Untill that day -

we'll be guessing.
