Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 PS, For Lyme Disease, Biaxin 500 mgs a day x 2 is NOT an excessive amount. Get on your computer and do an internet search on a group called ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, I think). Read the papers on ILADS. I feel that those are as state-of-the-art as you can get. Sincerely, PBJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
