fascinating and well argued posts from Wil Weigman on why doxy may make neuro lyme worse, and that the magic combo for neuro lyme is minocycline+Tindamax, at low levels, pulsed, for 45 days.
He also encourages ingesting an Amygdalin source (cherry bark for instance) to strenghten the immune system of it's depleted abilities from chronic infections.
some of the best scientific research on neuro lyme I have ever seen. Has more actual science behind it than many of the big name "lyme experts".
According to him, Doxy won't work to permanently cure neuro-Lyme because it stimulates the spirochetes into producing the round body forms which contain m-RNA and DNA sufficient to form another spirochete inside the cyst within 9 days. Approximately 3 cyst forms (and the resulting 3 new spirochetes) are formed for every one killed.
Mino + Tini is the key.
100 mg Minocycline and 250 mg 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.
Tinidazole takes almost two weeks to start working on breaking down the m-RNA synthesis of enzymes, etc. inside the bacteria. A normal short course of Tinidazole used for that pourpose is not enough time to kill the non-reproducing spirochetes, the cyst form or the spirochetes not dividing.
It does not take a high concentration to work against the m-RNA just a persistant one which is why the 45 day, every other day protocol works against Lyme in all it's forms.
Minocycline does contain Doxy, just in a smaller form so that it can cross the blood brain barrier. By taking it every other day, with it's 22 hour half life, you will keep blood serum levels below the threshold which Borrelia senses when it is stimulated to make the blebs that form into the reproductive cystic round body form.
By keeping the Minocycline levels low but constant for the 45 days you are assured that all the spirochetes must eventually go into their normal cell division.
this is based on the research of Dr. Eva Sapi
