Help getting started with an antibiotic protocol
Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2012 6:57 pm
Hi,
I am a 28 year old male. I have had MS the last three years. My neurologist and I are inclined to think it is PPMS due to continued progression. My symptoms are horrible brain fog (cognitive decline), weakness in limbs(especially arms), spasticity, difficulty using my right hand. I would like to start an antibiotic protocol. As you can imagine, I am excited but also confused due to all the literature. I have a few questions.
1. Is the Wheldon protocol the best to start with. Are there competing protocols?
2. I am in central California and don't think I can find a doctor who specializes in this area. Is it alright to administer the protocol myself provided I do it religiously? I'm thinking I can probably find a general practicioner to prescribe the antibiotics.
3. I don't remember having a recurring chest infection as described in the slideshow created by David Wheldon. Are there atypical cases where the genesis of the infection might not be so obvious?
4. Is it ok to start Doxycycline and azithromycin at the same time at the full dose, rather than waiting a few weeks on the azithromyocine?
5. Is there a preference between roxithromycin, azithromycin, or rifampicin? They all seem to be interchangeable according to the protocol?
6. Beside NAC, which I understand the importance of, are all the other supplements absolutely necessary?
Thank you so much ahead of time
P.S. I posted these questions at CPn Help.org also, I just thought there might be more members here
