It doesn't really say much about Dr. J's protocols on that site.
Girlie, I think your wrong. I'll quote from the site I gave:
"Dr. J G. J’s Protocol
J, MD is a board-certified physician in infectious disease and internal medicine. He operates the J Specialty Clinic in Washington, DC, which is devoted solely to the treatment of Lyme disease patients.
Dr. J treatment protocol employs long-term cyclic, pulse therapy using antibiotics that are effective against all forms of the organism. Pulse therapy involves the intense use of drugs (in this case antibiotics) on an intermittent basis (for example, every other day, two weeks on and one week off, etc.)
He routinely uses IV clindamycin for advanced neuroborreliosis. He also cycles metronidazole during the treatment period, thereby achieving three separate active modes of treatment (extracellular, intracellular, and cystic). “Since it is very difficult to maintain a patient on such intensive therapy for a prolonged period,” Dr. J explains, “the rotation of oral antimicrobials through the IV treatment period has been quite helpful in term of program tolerance. In fact, out of tolerance concerns, metronidazole is typically given intermittently and on a short term basis because of its pr
opensity to cause severe Herxheimer reactions, especially in patients with advanced illness.” Dr. J stresses that the specifics of each protocol will vary because individual patients are given a treatment plan that is best suited for them.
