Slide Presentation on Cpn from Charles Stratton [1]

Although focused on respiratory diseasei [8], this slide show provides and excellent summary of Cpni [9] in general, and why combination antibiotic therapy is so important.

This is the news: In England, possible antibioticsi [20] to be sold over the counter, to treat CHLAMYDIA!

This is the story form http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/aug/06/health [92]

Oral antibiotics are to be made available for the first time without doctor's prescription under guidelines approved yesterday by the medicines regulator.

A pill to treat chlamydia, the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection, will become available for purchase in pharmacies across England later this year.

D-Ribose Bringing CPn Out Of Cryptic Form? [93]

Submitted by Mark Hall on Mon, 2008-05-26 16:55.

Paula has been starting to use d-ribose primarily to increase energy and reduce porphyrin production.

As you may know, she does have a lot of trouble tollerating new supplementsi [84] which is why we add anything new, very slowly.

She is currently putting 1.25 grams of powder into a 75ml bottle of water and taking a few slogs. Over the past couple of days, her tollerance level has increased, as previously she would get a large increase in fatigue when taking it. She has attempted to take ribose a few times these last couple of weeks, but had reactions to it.

Blood Cell Infection? [96]

Submitted by Mark Hall on Sun, 2008-03-23 14:24.

I am a bit confused. I have read that the EBi [5]'s can be carried on red blood cells, but can they invade and infect red blood cells becoming RB's?

Thinking outside the box-is there a future better way? [98]

As one reads the entries on this site you learn of many challenges and hardships faced as one deals with the numerous reactions to the protocol. Many are due to the die off aspects.

It makes me wonder if somewhere in the future there could be another way that might be more tolerable and perhaps quicker. I'd like to toss out a few thoughts for different approaches that maybe someday might work(or not). Given the vast knowledge and experience of the members of this site, I invite and encourage other thoughts. Maybe there is an audience out there that might explore some of these ideas if they were captured here - you know - "plant the seed" or "put a bug in ones ear".

I am still trying to get a grasp on Chlamydia Pneumoniae, I just found out on 4-11-07. But I have been sick for awhile . I am just starting Antibioticsi [20] again......eeeeek . My symptoms have been sinus infectionsi [48] and uppper respitory infections , Phlaringitis, Broncotitis, Asthmai [24]. In and out of the Dr. office the month of April, and my throat swelled shut I could go on and on. I ended up at an Infetious disease Dr.

I was at the gym last night and reflecting on the events prior to my diagnosis with MSi [59] and leading up to it. One of the things that stands out in my mind is that my condition worsened greatly over the course of a year just prior to the diagnosis which was happening at the very same time I was losing large amounts of weight. In fact, the onset of the active form of my condition was 2 - 3 months after I set off into attempting weight loss.

how long until replication stops? [102]

Submitted by rb on Wed, 2006-09-20 22:53.

Hi everyone,

It's just a question to satisfy my curiosity. When taking 200mg doxycycline/250mg azithromycin m w f, how long does it take before Cpni [9] replication stops? Does it stop completely, or is it some sort of partial stop/certain location thing?

Information would be much appreciated!

Cpn Simple [105]

Submitted by Jim K on Wed, 2005-10-12 22:58.

Cpni [9] Simple- The shortest explanation we could think of!

Cpn has been clearly proven to have persistencei [67] in the body despite “standard” antibiotic treatment (two weeks of a single antibiotic).

Cpn has been implicated in a wide variety of diseasesi [12] (see bottom of this page).

Blood tests and cultures are not reliable indicators of whether Cpn is part of your disease.

If you have any of the diseases in which Cpn has been implicated, it may be worth trying an “empirical” (based on symptoms alone) combination antibiotic protocol (Link).

Most doctors are not familiar with this, and you will have to present a rational and evidence based case to them for prescription of the appropriate antibioticsi [20] through information such as on this site.

Is this right for you?

Four indicators can be used to help you determine if an empirical test of the full combination antibiotic protocol is useful for you. You should be on it for for a minimum of 6 months to a year. The first three suggest that you have Cpn and you should continue this treatment.
