cowden 70% effective

[Guest guest]

P.S. regarding the Cowden protocol being 70% effective: I think this is similar

to what Buhner says for his protocol, and probably to what many ILADs docs state

for their ABX protocols. You often hear that about 25% has a total cure or

nearly full recovery, 50% or so has significant improvement and maybe 25% has no

improvement or continues to get worse.

Even some very alternative protocols (where IMHO it is very unlikely that they

could do anything against Borrelia) make such claims. Of course, some protocols

claim even 100% recovery but I won't comment furter on those here

This suggests to me that none of the protocols may be very effective (in

general, they could still be effective for individual cases). If you don't do

anything and wait long enough, maybe you get similar percentages of 'cured',

'improved' or 'no benefit'. We don't know, because almost every patient tries

something...

Maybe the group that sees full recovery were less ill, or had a less persistent

Bb strain. Maybe the group that sees no benefit has multiple infections or an

extra-naughty Bb strain, or an additional medical problem. We simply don't know

and unfortunately, the same goes for almost all the research on treating LD with

ABX
