Thanks. As to long term antibiotics (abx), many people are using the core protocol with abx long term and as far as I know there have been no problems. From what I have heard and from what the literature shows the abx should prove more effective if used with the protocol.

This is for two reasons. The first is that the better the immune system, the better and more efficiently abx work. The herbs in the protocol do help raise immune function.

The second reason is that knotweed is a good synergist for pharmaceuticals; that is, studies have found that even with antibiotic resistant organisms that have not responded to pharmaceuticals, if the pharmaceuticals are retaken along with the knotweed they suddenly become effective. All this is enhanced even more if a collagen support protocol is also being followed.

Leider konnte ich die Studien, die eine synergetische Wirkung zwischen Polygonum c. und AB bei AB resistenten Bakterien bei PubMed nicht finden. Ich werde in seinem Buch nachschauen.

Yes, you may use antibiotics along with the protocol, the two can often work very well together as some of the herbs are drug potentiators. Because antibiotics do work well for about half the people with lyme it does make sense to use them to see if a 30 day or so course of antibiotics can clear the lyme.
