Low Does Antibiotic Treatment for Better Effect

Hi this is my first time posting on this forum, I've had lyme for about 2 years, was very late to get treatment from my PCP. At any rate I am now trying to manage my illness and have found something interesting related to autoimmune.

Basically what they are saying is that low dose pulse of antibiotics over a long period actually works to breakup difficult to cure infections better than constant high dose treatment over a long period of time. I would also imagine this would work out a lot better for your liver and kidneys. Has anyone tried this or looked into this at all?

Also I know the site is called Marshall Protocol but I don't think it has anything to do with that and I did read the underlying scholarly docs and it does seem like an interesting approach.

"These immunosuppressive properties decrease the amount of L-form and biofilm bacteria killed by the immune system. This is why some people report feeling better on high-dose antibiotics. The high levels of antibiotic prevents the immune system from killing these forms of bacteria, resulting in a temporary decrease in the toxins the pathogens release as they die and the inflammatory cytokines produced by the immune system. However, in reality, the person’s L-form bacteria remain alive and find it easier to spread to new tissues and organs". http://mpkb.org/home/protocol/mp_antibiotics/dosing

From what I understand the immune system doesn't recognize Lyme Bacterium as an "invader"....so, if that's the case, the antibiotics used for Lyme treatment aren't preventing " the immune system from killing these forms of bacteria". The immune system is attacking the Lyme because it doesn't know it's a problem. It may be true of other bacteria, but I don't see how this would apply to Lyme.

I do appreciate when people post information on relevant sites though so thank you so much for sharing this.

Thank you for the great responses, I have been researching fairly heavily viable treatments and the one I see come up the most is the Biaxin and Plaquenil as being optimal for treatment. I did see some positive reviews and am only at Oral ABX stage, I wonder if the IV stage is needed if this is the solution most people seem to indicate is best.

Also on a side note I had an idea for a cell based delivery system of drugs to optimize drug delivery to hard to reach places. Interestingly I found this article about a biochem company attempting to do this very thing

I think if this technology could be adapted for use in treatment of lyme we could go a long way in removing chronic hard to treat infections.
