The following from another website, what are your thoughts regarding this? Has anyone tried this combo?
www.lymeneteurope.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4891"Cured! I first contracted Lyme Disease in the Spring of 2010 from a tick bite. I was in Robbinsville, North Carolina, USA.
I had the classic ring on my upper left arm but was unaware of Lyme Disease and thought it to be ringworm as I was working outside a great bit.
Within 3 weeks I was in such pain that I went to my hands and knees in the street one evening walking to dinner. I went to the local clinic the next day where could not pin down what was infecting me but it was found that my white blood cell count was extremely high so they put me on Cipro, 500mg, twice daily for three weeks. The initial symptoms subsided but I continued to have recurring joint pain and other problems.
Since I have a degree in sub-cellular biochemistry from Indiana University in 1972 but did not work in my field of study I decided to bring myself up to date on current knowledge. First thing I discovered was that joint pain = Lyme Disease. I then took it upon myself to read as many abstracts and full research papers as I could find on research done on Borrelia.
What I found out was this. Lyme Disease is easily cured using a non-standard antibiotic protocol. Doxy is taken for joint pain but only one pill which will knock out the joint pain overnight. This can be done in the first 3 weeks. It will knock out over 95% of the actively dividing spirochetes. However, Dr. Eva Sapi has proven that Borrelia will go into the cyst form in an hour and a half after exposure to Doxy so taking more than one is pointless. At this point you must switch protocols...
The full cure will only come by using a combination of two antibiotics that can cross the Blood Brain Barrier to get to the spirochetes and cysts forms trapped in the cerebrospinal fluid. The common European strain B. garinii is especially quick to cross the blood brain barrier, usually within the first week.
When problems of the nervous system occur, take one Minocycline and one Tindamax together, pulsed every other day or every third day, for at least 45 days. These two mild antibiotics cross the blood barrier and will kill Borrelia as it is dividing or after cell division as it is closing up it's cell walls. Borrelia can sense antibiotic levels around them and pulsing them allows the level to drop below their detection levels which makes them active again so that the next pulse can kill the dividing ones.
It takes a week or two for the Tinidazole (Tindamax and Flagyl can also be subsituted) to start to kill off the egg-like cyst forms in the cerebrospinal fluid and other parts of the body. It works even though the two forms are not actively in the process of cell division which is the only time the Minocycline or Doxycycline are able to kill them.
Please note that Tinidazole uses up a LOT of Vitain B6 so before you start taking Tinidazole you should make sure you take a 50mg B6 vitamin supplement once a day or the equivalent in food sources before and during the time you are taking Tinidazole.
You have to continue taking the Mino/Tindy combo once every other day for at least 45 days because the spirochetes can go for at least 42 days without dividing and the egg-like form can go for 9-17 days before it has to develop into a spirochete. A 60 day protocol would be optimal to kill off any biofilm colonies hiding in the white tissues of the body where there are no capillaries.
Taking only one dose of each of the Mino/Tindy combo every other day keeps the spirochetes active because they can detect high levels of antibiotics and will go dormant if they do. Both antibiotics have a sufficient half life, 22-24 hours half life for Mino, 18 hour half life for the Tindy (the amount of time for half the original dose to be cleared from the body) and Borrelia takes roughly the same amount of time to divide. Ideally you want to keep the saturation in the Cerebrospinal Fluid at the minimun killing level of 0.6 mcg/mL.
Please read through the rest of this forum thread for all the scientific research papers that back up this successful protocol!
If digestive problems occur take one Bactrin or one Fluconazole to kill the yeast bloom usually causing it.
If new symptoms show up, take the appropriate type of antibiotic depending on symptoms but again, only take it/them once.
After about
3-5 weeks you will find you are feeling much better and that the only thing left is 'brain fog' from the remaining Borrelia being trapped in the capillaries of the white tissue of the brain. They steal the ATP from the pre-capillary sphincter muscles and trap themselves in some of the capillaries.
For 'Brain Fog' you will need the amygdalin in the form of 10 drops of Wild Cherry Bark extract or the seeds of one apple every other day or 10 drops of Pinella or two or three apricot kernels, or a months worth of Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger Tea which contains lemon grass, licorice, and wild cherry bark. All of these contain trace amounts of amygdalin.
You need the Thiocyanate formed from the Amygdalin to kill of the final remnants hiding in the cerebrospinal fluid.
The immune system uses he Thiocyanate, stored in the liver, to kill off bacteria and eliminate the dead ones as well as maintaining the Lactoperoxidase-Thiocyanate-Hydrogen Peroxide System in the mucus membranes of the lungs, sinuses, mouth and throat. It is the 'firewall' of the Immune System and stops bacteria, viruses, molds and fungii before they can enter any cells of the body.

There is also a product called Novodalin which is a processed form of Amygdalin that will also work.

The -SCN formed from the amygdalin in the amounts of 5 mcg per day will not harm your body's cells as all of them are capable of producing an enzyme, Rhodanase, that turns the -CN into harmless thiocyanate. Borrelia cannot do this and it kills the last of them!
After this protocol you will be completely cured with no chance of relapse unless you are re-bitten.
I was in fact re-bitten in the Spring of 2012 and used this procedure to cure myself a second time in 60 days! I continue to this day to be free of Lyme symptoms.
If you switch to a diet rich in whole grains, nuts, fruit seeds, beans, and edible greens you will maintain your immune system at 100% and enjoy a new level of health you have not seen in a long time!
Thiocyanate + a full daily minimum required dose of Iodide will kill off viruses too!
