Bicillin L-A + core protocol
Dear Stephen,
After being on and off of a lower dose of Bicillin for a year and a half, my doctors recently increased my dosage to 1.2mu q 3 days. About the same time, I was reaching the maximum dosages of your core protocol (16/day each of andro, cat’s claw, and reservatrol). I felt that caused a much deeper herx than I’d had in quite a while, with notably my spinal cord aching significantly more than usual. This seems like a good sign that sufficient quantities of drug/herbs is reaching that area. My sense is that this is a very powerful combination.

After 2 weeks on this combo, I’m finally starting to feel a little better, so my thought is to continue this combo (Bicillin & core protocol) until I’m at least 2 months beyond symptom free. Do you see any problems with this idea that I should be aware of, or do you think it’s a sound idea? I’m also on Tindamax, 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off, and will be starting Rifampin as well on alternate weeks from the Tindamax. Thank you.
Stephen’s response:
If the antibiotics seem to be working for you, then, with your physician’s oversight, they should be fine. Antibiotics are not contraindicated with the protocol unless I have listed some specific medication in the text of the book as being contraindicated. A couple of months after significant symptom reduction seems prudent to me. I normally think that the herbs should be continued for at least six months at a reduced dose once significant symptom reduction has occurred.
