Snake,

Regarding vasculitis......When I first became ill one of my main symptoms was giant sized hives and chronically inflammed skin and tissues. Needless to say, after about 3 years of that hell...an immunologist finally ordered a skin biopsy and it was confirmed that I had vasculitis. Well the treatment was round after round of prednisone and sometimes even in an IV. Well...... nobody knew (fools) that I had undiagnosed lyme disease and giving prednisone to somebody with an infectious disease will only fuel the fire. Needless to say this type of protocol opened the flood gates for chronic lyme to set in and thus here I am still in the trenches of this battle. Good news is that since I started Zhang, I have not had any of the vasculitis problems whatsoever. This seems to be the main thing that the Zhang protocol has helped me with so far. Just thought you would like to know. I am thinking about getting another biopsy to see if I still test positive.

Runnin - will have more to share hopefully tommorrow. Doctor in TN says that I have to get the biofilms busted first and once they are busted hit em hard with natural antibiotics. He understands Mycoplasma's very well and how they dwell in the basement membranes. He discusses biofilms as fibrogins and how they need to be need to broken down with Serraptese. He will give me the complete protocol to add to Zhang. My Dr wants me to start Biaxin on Sunday and Plaquenil in a month. Neither of my other doctors want me to start either...will update soon. Hope all is well and hang in there.

Snake,

Are you still working with Dr. F in Arizona, I assume he is the one that wants you to start biaxin and plaquenil. I was also told to take high amount of serrapeptase to help bust up biofilms and fibrin in the blood. What type of doctors are you working with in TN? I presume they are more holistic as they would rather have you do natural antibiotics versus traditional ones. When did you start working with these doctors?

Runnin - I am working with Dr F.  If I use either one of the combos it will be Biaxin.  I will begin HIGH amounts of Serrapeptase and will inform you later of the dose.  My Dr. in TN is more holistic.  He is previously a Pharmacist.  I am just starting to work with him.  If you give me your email address, I will send the exact Protocol he gave me.  There are some big issues with what we are all doing to our bodies with antibiotics.  Although it kills the bacteria, it of course changes the natural bacteria in our bodies....but also alters the natural balance of our bodies way of killing pathogens.  When we all were first sick, our bodies tried to kill these bacteria...but they survived.  We have to get our bodies back in balance and restore the lifeforce that we each were given....and we will all get well.  I have great confidence about getting "cured" now.  I am praying about it and hoping I will make the right decision.

Snake,

I hear what you are saying. I have major issues with long-term antibiotic usage as I have suffered severe side effects. In light of this, I am no longer taking them. I was on them for 3 years. I am going to see Dr. Jernigan this coming week.

I would love to see your protocol. My email is: jellis@d155.org

Snake,

Would you mind e-mailing you new protocol that includes serrapeptase.   nnspence@yahoo.com

I, too, am trying to avoid antibiotics.    Hiker53
