I'm dealing with clostridium difficile and intestinal parasites, etc., etc.

I tried adding one capsule every two days, trying to build up to a daily dosage of four 500 mg. capsules a day over the course of a week, but by the time I hit three capsules a day my world was ending, I backed off to just one capsule after a horrible weekend with candida, lyme, food allergies, and nerve pain totally out of control.

It's taking me so long to get to the target dose there's no telling how long I'll be on this stuff.
The first couple of days weren't so bad, Alinia was knocking the parasites down.

I think Rosner recommends two weeks for most parasite meds, that's also the C. diff. protocol that's been used most. Actual studies have been done showing Alinia is slightly more effective than the standard treatment, Vancomycin, for C. diff.

It's moot anyway. Since I got Lyme, I usually become allergic to meds pretty quick.
