Why try antibiotic therapy? How does it differ from traditional treatments?
Why not try it! It has fewer side effects than traditional treatments. One of the most interesting reasons for using this therapy is the rationale that these diseases could have an infectious cause. If that be the case, the antibiotics are addressing the cause. Low dose antibiotics, such as the Tetracycline (Minocin) drugs, attack the source…infection. It is not a band-aid concept but rather a long term therapy. There are great anti-inflammatory properties as well as anti-collagenase properties making this attractive to many physicians. It requires patience and networking with others on this therapy for the best success.
