I read somewhere on this forum that Dr J said his protocol takes about 9-15 months long if you stick to it. Is this true? Does he mean 9-15 months to get to remission? What has Dr J himself said regarding this for any current or past patients of him.

Not entirely true for every patient. Some people takes 2 years-3 years etc. 15 months is possible but I usually hear longer with cases for full remission but that 15 month mark could mean maintenance.

He has told me it’s really not possible to get someone an exact date but instead date ranges. I have not heard of the 9-15 months thing but certainly could’ve been said. But the end should result in Maintenance maybe or remission. It’s hard to know what exactly the meaning is behind those date ranges. But for example IV treatment has expected treatment lengths and then you transition to orals but the oral section of the treatment does not have a set date range because it’s a more bumpy and unpredictable. But For both oral and IV patients one is basically testing the waters with off weeks and their immune system. This ends up being a bit factor in determining how you’re doing with progress.

Mine was a bit over a year and then maintenance.
I’m doing maintenance for a few years and still continuing with maintenance.That is typically the case with many.

I know several people that it’s about that amount of time.
I do know someone who was doing quite well after about a year of treating - and transitioned to the maintenance and relapsed.
Now she’s back treating quite heavily again.

I have been at it with him since 2012. smile

At some point one has to start considering that one's symptoms aren't due to tick diseases. Might be your gut, diet, mcas, body structure etc. It could be collateral damage come from treatment (gut a big one for me) or the tick disease itself.

That was Dr. J's philosophy when I was in there last. I think in one of his video's he mentions how a patient who he could not get well was in a bad relationship (or some external mental thing). Once that was resolved she got well.

One thing I did wrong was my diet. Too many nuts, tea, greens and chocolate. Oxalates caused a lot of damage in my traps. If I stay low oxalate the pain is pretty good but anything high oxolates it really flares. I guess for that is where they go to be stored.

We think that trap pain symptom is due to diet and upper neck vertabrae. The other one (cognitive)... new treatment plan.

Trkane- what does “ox” mean?

Interesting about you eating too many nuts and greens, thought that was good for you. I’m very curious b/c I do the same.

Oxolate I believe.

Yes oxalate. I shouldn't have used an acronym. The anti-candida diet did me in. So much food on that diet is high in oxalates. Below is a pretty good article.

https://hoffmancentre.com/are-high-oxalate-levels-harming-your-health/

"Oxalates also create insoluble crystals that absorb light, which is essential for photosynthesis. These crystals can be the source of severe pain, acting almost like tiny razor blades or shards of glass on susceptible tissue like mucosal membranes. "

A lot of urinary tract issues are caused by oxalates. However my issues are in my muscles - the pain is really bad after eating them. And then when I go back on a low/medium oxalate diet, they create pain leaving the muscles.

The bacteria in our guts that digest oxalates are destroyed by the antibiotics. Unfortunately they haven't come up with a probiotic to replace it.

Interestingly oxalate feed candida. My stomach bloat eventually went a way after lowering oxalates.
