Hi all. I have done a little research yesterday, and I think I have a good attack strategy for Lyme.

The key drugs are minocycline, tinidazole, and Plaquenil.

What you do is wait until the minocycline is in low concentrations that it is hardly in your system anymore, then you hit it with a high dose like 200mg. My opinion is minocycline is better than doxycycline because it gets into deep tissues where Lyme likes twice as better as doxy and it tends to accumulate in these tissues more.

Anyways what you do is shock the spirochetes with this high dose of minocycline which basically turns them into cysts. But the key is they just turned into cysts! And tiny tiny amounts of Plaquenil and tinidazole will kill them when the cysts are less than 1 day old. So by keeping a steady amount of tinidazole and Plaquenil in your system but fluctuating the minocycline concentration in your system from a 200 mg dose and wait it out until it is low levels, lower than the inhibitory concentration that makes the spirochetes active, you can awaken the dormant ones and then shock them into cysts with your next high dose of minocycline.

Does this strategy seem like it would work? I think this would work.

Will your doctor be supervising this if you do it?

So how do you get the mino to low concentrations in your system? Do you stop taking it for awhile or just lower the dose? If you stop taking it...your body clears it pretty quickly, doesn't it?

Well I'm already symptom free, and it's so hard to herx. This was the only way I was able to get very small brain herxes, I just tried a few times already. I tried 6 dropper fulls of banderol and samento, I couldn't even get a herx like that.

I don't see the harm in it? My Doctor said a hit of 200 mg of minocycline in one dosage is okay if I can tolerate it. He said the reason why most Doctors say don't hit it with 200 mg doses is because it can be too much and kind of hard on the brain.

I'm going to discuss with my Doctor though what is the concentration of tinidazole and plaquenil that I can reduce my dosage down to.

The BIGGEST issue I have personally with this is the tinidazole, taking 1 gram daily for long periods of time could not be good for you. It is good for old cysts that are thicker. But you don't need that high dosage for 1 day old cysts. I want the tinidazole dosage lower.

Just keep in mind that with herbs at dosages that high and dosages that exceed what is recommended, you could actually be hurting yourself - and it is possible what you are experiencing is that and not a herx at all. Unfortunately there is very little way to decipher that no matter how well one can read their body.

Just remember, it is the dose that makes the poison...

Personally, this isn't something that I would suggest for a variety of reasons. If your doctor is all for it, including the herbs - let us know how it goes!

Ya that is true.  If anything killing off my gut flora.  But I am very aware of the response of how each herb and or drug affects my body.

I find the herbs are very very mild.  I don't have any side effects from them.   They are very easy to tolerate.

The minocycline gives immediate resolution of symptoms that I have usually.  It is a pretty safe antibiotic overall to use compared to many others.  I am able to tolerate it well.  Same with the plaquenil. 

The tinidazole is the one thing in my treatment that I AM worried about.  It is the one that is making me feel toxic, and it is the one that is proven to do damage to DNA.  It's mechanism of action is directly on DNA and RNA which I also have in my own cells.  It works very effectively against the Lyme, but I realize I'm damaging my own DNA and RNA in the process.  I want this dosage lowered, 1 gram a day I am convinced is too much and can cause permanent chromosomal damage.

I need high doses of the herbs at this point when most of the germs are dead.

I think at the end of the day it's actually upto me to figure this out for myself, in the end it's actually my body.  Even my LLMD is saying there is no risk of cancer and not to worry about it.   I think maybe I won't get cancer, but there is going to be some mutations that are going to happen and it might cause dysfunctional enzymes, etc.  Maybe I am thinking too much.
