Pretty wild that you post this now. Last night a friend of mine

was sharing her experience with a prolonged dose of antibiotics. She

had poison ivy that went into her blood (?) and needed to get on a

long dose of antibiotics. Well she just finished up a 2 week course

and said she has NEVER felt better. She and I have been battling

our health issues together for nearly 2 years. She believes she had

some sort of bacterial/viral infection for years that has never been

detected or treated. She now says she is full of energy, is happy,

and gets up out of bed before the alarm without any problem. She's

been battling depression,fatigue and stress for years. She then

told me about the doctor you mentioned and how he believes alot of

us are battling bacterial infections that would be cleared with a

prolonged dose of tetracycline. I tried to google it but couldn't

find anything on it and tonight you post about it! By the way, my

friend has amalgams in her mouth that she has not removed.

Time will tell if she is " cured " but she is urging me to get on

antibiotics as she is amazed at the results for her. By the way, her

chiro advised her to eat alot of yogurt while she was taking the

antibiotics. He said probiotics were too strong for the antibiotics

or something like that. Interestingly, Dr. Rind suggested I was

battling some sort of infection as well. However, I've never been

tested for any infections.

IMO ONLY From what i have read and been experiencing, I believe i

have like you and many on this board both mercury and lyme related or

Cell wall deficient bacterial/parasitic infection which I am now

treating quite successfully with a protocol that is almost very close

to www.roadback.org ; I have seen a lot of improvements even in a

month on this new protocol (unfortunately a lot of herxing too due to

I believe bug die off). IMO and from what I have read some of us have

the genetic makeup to be subject to these bugs for a lack of a better

word and these bugs lead to parasites and viral infections being more

prevalent, even without adding mercury to the mix

This protocol says many antibiotics in heavy doses just kill one type

of bug and in effect create many other types of other resistant bugs

(this specfic protocol i am on is low doe and pulsing -every two

days).its similiar to Brown's treatment

I have been asked not to discuss it which is too bad. It is written

about as a lyme treatment in Rosner's book on effective lyme

treatments

I truly feel it (new pusling antibiotic protocol) is taking me to

another level of health that the mercury chelating alone could not

due, even though i am so much better on 9 months of chelating. I

continuous chealte on dmps just cause i feel better..am currently on

40 mgs on dmps every 3-4 hrs and 50 mgs ALA every 3 hrs (when i do a

3-4 day sequence of ALA)

so I guess to summarize, mercury and bugs go together; but I think

for some of us unfortunately, more than chelating is needed to get to

these cell wall deficient bacteria or mycoplasmic infections

MY Background

A. Mercury

I had 20+ years of weekly injections along with mult mercury fillings

which were leaking due to being 30+ years old. I had one break and

was filled with toxic root canal in December 06. I was a diet coke

addict for probably 15 years (30-46 years old) and believe I became a

Diet coke addict as my adrenals started to burn out in early 30's due

to mercury and some sort of lyme/mycoplasm infection. About my early

30's I became more reclusive, nerves bothering me, more introverted

mid 40's health went off a cliff due to I believe both mercury and

lyme or related infection

had two periods about 5 years apart 1990-1991; 1998 whwer i was very

depressed and night sweats which one lyme dr told me was a pattern

with babesia; it would lie dormant until you were very stressed out

and then would attack, whcih i really think happened to me

B. Lyme or co-infection Commencement

First off I grew up in tick infested area of Canada. Had probably 10-

15 tick bites a year from age of baby to my mid 20's when i moved

away. So in about 1987 in Tonronto I had gone camping and swimming in

Lake and 3 days later came down with almost disabling flue..severe

aches in legs could hardly walk.lasted about 6 weeks and ever after

this point my nerves were shot so to speak, so I am pretty confident

bugs were tipping point

Fast forward to SF 15+ years later. I became much more reclusive but

functional until I had 2-3 tick bites on the head while in Canada

on our ranch (August 2004). 3 months later (November 2004) i lost my

hearing in my right ear. 3 months later (February 2005) I had what I

believe was a brown recluse spider bite and it swelled up like a golf

ball (evidence of lyme)

I had a clinical diagnosis of lymes (had i think 5 bands but need 6

for disgnosis per dopey Goverment rules)

Then basically 3 years of bad protocols which made things worse

(excessive antibiotcs, chorella/cilantro/no salt for a year; lots of

sulphur food and supps; etc etc..so the fact that i am feeling pretty

good (able to start a new business) and go on vacations after 9

months of chelaton is amazing; but cannot do a lot of physical stuff

like bike riding yet)

Last 4 years was severely poor health, was suicidal for much of 2007

before finding AI
