Re: INFO - Antibiotics for rheumatoid arthritis?

[Guest guest]

Interesting. My new rheumatologists have been doing research in

this area for a long time. I believe one of them is one of the

pioneers in modern antibiotic therapy research, though I understand

that this has been a theory for a very long time. They have found

that certain bacteria and mycoplasma are associated with autoimmune

diseases.

Here are a couple of links that list the bacteria, etc.

Some interesting stuff. I'm not convinced yet that I want to go on

massive amounts of antibiotics, but I'm open to anything. I'll be

doing more research on it once I get a firm " new " diagnosis, which

I'm hoping will be next week.
