Very interesting video, for me in my late 20’s I had a rare gut infection, GP told me not many people get it, 20 odd years later diagnosed with SPMS, is there a link ? who knows
I wanted to chime in as perhaps one of the only people in the US who has actually done this treatment. It changed my life entirely. But I can’t seat myself in a specific camp. I can’t tell you what it will or won’t do for you. My anecdotal experience shouldn’t mean anything to you.
What WILL mean something to you is a simple diagnostic test. I went through 30 doctors before finally being able to get on the protocol. You might never find a doctor willing to do it without something on paper proving it will work. Not a single autoimmune specialist I spoke with had ever heard of this protocol, and when I showed it to them, they dismissed it outright. It literally breaks my soul how long I had to suffer because of their ignorance, and how long others have suffered, and how many died suffering because this protocol isn’t a common practice — AND DIAGNOSTIC TOOL.
So — you likely will not find a doctor willing to do this for you. You will have to CREATE the doctor yourself, walking them through it, explaining how the diagnostic phase works, and why if it DOES work they should apply the protocol. Autoimmune specialists are the LEAST likely to be guided, so I’d seek out a general practitioner.
I had so many random instances that helped me to build my case — instances that 99% of people (including you) will not have. All recorded through ongoing bloodwork. I had undiagnosed c pneumonia for 6 years prior to it finally revealing itself, and the ONLY reason it did was because of an aggressive ART session where graston technique was used on my ankles. I’d known for 3 years what the infection was, but no doctor would treat me for it. Let me stress YOU WILL NOT BE THIS FORTUNATE. It took another 4 years before I finally got on the actual protocol, even after my “diagnosis” all the while “autoimmune” was the designated culprit.
I was able to build a case to a very specific doctor. You will not be able to build that case, and no one is going to help you.
The SOLE tool you have is your body’s response to the protocol itself. Now, you can get Doxy and zithro online easily enough, but getting into months and months, and also including metronidazole? It’s going to get difficult. And more than that — we need this to become something that’s studied and tracked. Every single MS study that has been done regarding antibiotic treatment utilizes ONE antibiotic. It’s like using a dry rag to scrub mud out of a white sheet. And the reality is that for studies to be funded there has to be a patent end goal. Let the capitalists figure that out — what YOU can do is to find a way to start the diagnostic phase.
And it’s entirely simple. Convince your doctor who is OPEN to the IDEA of this protocol. Ask them to prescribe you 7 days of Doxy and a 5 day script of azythro. If when you take these pills you feel a EUPHORIA (that’s the doxy — it’ll feel like you can suddenly slam your body through a wall) and total body flare (that’s the zythro), you will KNOW that your symptoms are the result of a mass infection.
If you can ONLY get one or the other, I’d say go with the one that a placebo can’t make up — go with the zythro. You’ll know it when it happens. The thing killing you is literally nested in your nervous system and it releases a mass toxin when it dies. It will be UNMISTAKABLE. So unmistakable in fact that some of you reading this might have been told by your doctor that you’re ALLERGIC to zythro (raises hand).
Now, if you don’t have any of these reactions does that mean that your disability is NOT caused by this infection? I literally have no idea. And if this gets your hopes up and nothing happens, I’m sorry.
But this protocol changed my entire life. I genuinely believe I would be dead by now had I not discovered it and had not found a doctor willing to prescribe it. (I’ll have to ask him if he’s okay with me listing his name on a public forum prior to publishing his info. But if you’re in the Chicago area — he’s here).
Just get the Zithro. Go to a walgreens, whatever. Tell them you have a sinus infection and that Zithro always works best for you. But it’d be BETTER if you can go through a doctor who is willing to use it as a DIAGNOSTIC tool. Because YOU knowing what’s wrong with you might give you some emotional and mental relief, but it likely won’t do much to help you into this protocol.
One other question that was asked here was about the continued maintenance phase of the protocol. Basically, why did his wife have to continue taking it. Well, it’s 2-fold. 1) This infection is extremely common, so unless you’re taking extreme precautions, it’s quite possible you’ll be reinfected. 2) Is it really dead?
Like, to put it in simplest terms, the Doxy and Zithro essentially kill all the little ships that come off the mothership, while the metronidazole kills the actual mother ship. But…does it really? Does it entirely? We know that this STOPS AND REVERSES symptoms. Is that a cure? Is that what we call that? How can we when we never were able to test for the infection in the first place? Again, you will not have the benefit of my bloodwork and experience. 99.9% of humans will not have the ability to detect the infection. It was a million-to-one chance that mine revealed itself, sending my C-reactive protein into death-defying limits.
And, sidebar, C-reactive protein inflammation isn’t a terrible place to start this hand-holding with your doctor. C-reactive protein elevation is a FANTASTIC marker for infection. So…”Doctor, my C-reactive protein levels are elevated AND by taking a course of zithro I was literally bed-ridden…why don’t we see where this goes.”
I hope this helps someone. My life was taken from me for 12 years (I like to say a decade…but it was 12 years). And it’ll still be a time before I’m fully back to the person I once was. I’m fortunate for how early I caught it and got on the treatment (in comparison to others living with more aggressive forms of these immune disorders).
Just start the path. It’s entirely simple as a DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. Just start the conversation.
Also, last sidebar, I couldn’t comfortably tolerate the constant antibiotics. The dehydration and gut issues is…a lot after awhile. So I’d usually skip weekends and just do some probiotic loading at that time.
And when it’s all said and done…I wouldn’t bet the farm that you’ll (or I) never have to take these pills ever again. But, like, who gives a shit? You get your entire life back. Fatigue? Brain fog? Constant pain? Gone. So, like, again — who gives a shit?
Best of luck to everyone who reads this. Don’t get your hopes up. See what reaction you have to the zithro and go from there.
