The Journey Begins

On February 15 I have an appointment with a doctor in Tulsa who will hopefully agree to prescribe The Antibiotic Protocol created by Thomas McPherson Brown and outlined in The New Arthritis Breakthrough by Henry Scammell.

Sorry, I'm not savvy enough to make that picture an actual link.

I have some reading up to do before then so that I can make an educated, coherent presentation to Dr. B. The Antibiotic Protocol treats rheumatoid arthritis with low-dose, intermittent antibiotics--usually 100 mg minocycline every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Why? Because Dr. Brown found that arthritis and other so-called "autoimmune" disorders are caused by a mycoplasma infection, which has been documented in double-blind, placebo-based studies at the National Institutes of Health.

More information about this treatment can be found at http://www.rheumatic.org/ as well as at http://roadback.org/.

I'll be posting more information along with my symptoms...or lack of symptoms...as I go.
