Good article! Thanks! I have an. Appt on the 22nd with a road back doc who employs antibiotic treatment for rheumatic disease. I am so happy. By reading some things she wrote,she looks awesome. This is the most hope I have had so far! This article goes along with what I know,with antibiotics, I will beat this stupid thing! Culture on klebs,coming up!

You are welcome Shauna!! Please let us know how her treatment works for you. What is her name? Wishing you all the best!!

Craig

Her name is Dr Kittley.I'm very excited to go to her!I will have to drive 3 hrs. I found her thru roadback.org (John told me about it) and email apdoctors@roadback.org and tell them what you have and where you are and ask for a list of docs in your area and they will send it to you!I plan on probably doing long term low dose tetracycline (if my culture is sensitive-that's what she traditionally uses for many yrs on her patients and has good success) and LSD instead of NSD.I will let you know how it goes.Hope u are feeling ok!Haven't talked to you in awhile.

That's all good progress, isn't it.
Good to know there are some studdies being done which are working in the right direction for some chronic conditions.
Thanks for posting, Craig.

Hello Shauna
What made you decide to go down this route, if you don't mind me asking. I am really genuinely interested in what course you are taking.

Hey Tink,Not at all!
For one, the diet helps tremendously but I got off it a few months ago and ruined my progress so I was basically starting over in Jan and I feel sick n tired of not being perfect after feeling like I have been depriving myself.Anyway,the doc gave me cipro for something and it killed off any sign of disease,like magic,just like John said it would and it's so darn wonderful,I'll do anything for this!
So John(who had been saying to get antibiotics all along) gave me the RB site and I'm going for it.I'm more excited than I've ever been
(so is my hubby) b/c the antibiotics helped so much.Reading some of the technical papers here,it almost sounds like to get the diet to work "perfectly" (maybe more quickly)you need sulfasalazine or antibiotics!So I'll be loading up on probiotics and I will be talking to the doc about candida and clostridium,etc,those are risks I'm willing to take to feel so awesome.If you do some reading, they use antibiotics to treat acne,even for long term, but people (and a lot of docs) don't want to use them for chronic,debilitating disease? Plus, I figure I won't have to be so strict,worried all the time NSD,I'm hoping to go to Ebringer's LSD. I'll let you know how it goes.
14 day Yellowstone trip in May,here I come!
