information to prove to my lyme doc that 5 days on abx followed by 3 days off is good?

The reason for pulsing :

1) less harsh on the body
2) allows the bacteria to come out of hiding
3) allows the immune system to 'kick in'

I haven't heard of 10 days on/10 days off. But, if he's getting results from it....

One of the protocols that Dr. J. does M/W/F 2 or more abx, plus another abx Th/F
Does that for 2 weeks on, then one week off.

i've also seen 5 days on, 2 days off

One abx at a time isn't recommended - whether daily...or pulsed.

Two or more abx are used - so resistance doesnt happen.

I was on 6 days on 1 day off for abx and then herbals. Last visit (14 months into treatment) LLMD decided to change that to 7 on 7 off and coinciding with the lactoferrin/xylitol that I do 7/7 also. I take serrapeptase and or lumbrokinase every week 6 days.

He wants to see if my herx reactions change. The answer is yes and I feel much worse during that on week. It's much more harsh than the shorter cycle and I don't think it is better.

I think I may switch myself back.
