OCD and Lyme and monocycline news.

I just got home from two weeks in NYC. The New York Phyciatric Institute At Columbia has made an interesting discovery.

They have found that children suffering from OCD showed improvements taking monocyline.

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I said....gee....could that be becuase it is fighting a bacteria that is giving them the OCD to begin with.

It is no wonder that our kids are all being put on Prozax. They is such a huge gap in the medical filed or practice.

I am still banging y head up against the wall here...

 

Yes, OCD is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. But Lyme can trigger that to happen, as can other things.

I believe that not only Lyme but other bacteria and viruses can cause any number of mental illnesses. So, it's NO surprise at all that antibiotics affect one's mood and/or disorder -- in this case -- positively. Look at how biaxin is used to treat bipolar.

I know of someone however where the treatment did not have a positive outcome. The person had MRSA was on massive doses of antibiotics, fell in to a dark depression, and tried to kill themselves.

They were upbeat and happy go lucky until MRSA and then the antibiotics took hold.
