Last Wednesday, I decided to start the InterFase Plus for the treatment of biofilms.  I was curious to see what, if any, type of reaction I would have.  The recommended dosage (on the bottle) is 2-8 capsules per day.   Additionally, I have a schedule obtained from an autism parent given to her by the autism doc, Dr. McCandless, but it is too agressive IMOⁱ, for me so I decided to only take it on M/W/F,  the days I take both Azith and Doxyⁱ. (I switched back to Azith, from Roxi January 2010). 

Thanks to the MicrobWiki site I found some very interesting information about a company that is creating a novel type of anti-viral based on nano technology.

Here is the company website:

And here is some recent news about their anti-herpes treatment.

Looks like there might be hope for those of us with viral co-infectionsⁱ.

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

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

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.

Some interesting excerpts below from this link:

Minai's recent post elicited me to submit this info (Minai  has MSⁱ, is treating for CPNⁱ and stated she had Bell's Palsy at one time). My mother had Bell Palsey when I was about 12.  Most of our weekends were spent in activities like fishing, picnics or mushroom hunting... all outdoor or in the woods.   

I just recently discovered the state I grew up in is ranked 16th in the nation for Lyme disease.  I still sometimes question if I have lyme even though my test (it wasn't a Western IG Blot) was negative. 

 Someone on this cite took their daughter to this doctor -- (Dr. Virginia Sherr).  I researched her as she is located near my city. 

I know this is a CPN board not lyme but the information was rather interesting:

Scientists are looking at the possibility that a cocktail of worm eggs, intended to hatch inside the bodies of those who swallow them, could be used as an MSⁱ treatment. 

A recent study suggested that people already infected with this kind of worm, known as helminths, experienced fewer symptoms of MS. This has led the FDA to approve a small trial of the therapy next month on five patients

Sunday night I went to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain (upper/lower left quadrant, front and back – [as an aside, I have experienced pain on my left side since almost the beginning of my ABXⁱ in April of last year –2007].  I kept contributing the discomfort to possibly die off and/or my spleen.  My dr. could never find anything on x-rays or a cat scan, so I just kept plodding along, as it was not intolerable.

Anyone with orthostatic hypotension or other similar problems..... Vanderbuilt is seeking recruits.........

Need to talk to someone soon.  I'm feeling a little desperate at the moment.  Don't know how to IM, willing to learn or willing to just e-mail back and forth.
