Advice & Tips
MInocycline has performed extremely well for the reduction of brain lesions. L Metz performed clinical trials in 2006 using minocycline alone to treat Multiple Sclerosis. Her results comfirmed an average 85% reduction in MS lesions after taking minocycline daily for a period of 2 years. *When taking antibiotics it is extremely important to supplement daily with a good quality probiotic such as acidophilus in order to replenish the good bacteria in the stomach. Yogurt is a good choice for quick relief from stomach upset associated with minocycline use.

Advice & Tips
Start slowly. The rule for treating Lyme disease is slow and steady. To reduce the chance of Herxheimer Reaction start with 1/2 the prescribed dose and increase slowly. If side effects occur drop the dosage down till you can handle it.
