Some have tweeked it to be Benicar and other antibiotics.

Most of those that have done on this just don't post here any more..
This is one of those hot button topics...two sides DEEPLY divided!!!
Some have failed on this protocol also...but...there isn't one protocol out there that can answer all the illnesses we suffer from.

I believe that the succes rate on this Benicar Protocol will eventually be outrageously high...currently I am awaiting some personal issues to be cleared up before I go on it.

But...you'll get alot of answers on this ...if not

(I highly recommend it.)

This protocol is cutting edge..and therefore is questioned at is every turn on efficacy, usefulness, effectiveness, and possible dangers...however, I personally know MANY people that have NEVER been on Lymenet..and MOST of them (95%) are MUCH improved if not back to normal.

But...someone will come along and poo-poo this tremendous break through in Lyme Care.

Why is it controversial?

As I understand it - and granted, I might not understand it totally - the MP works similarly to other combo platters of medications for Lyme. The lowered vitamin D + benicar regime acts as a cyst-buster, and the minocycline is the antibiotic that sweeps up the rest, not unlike taking ketek etc with abx.

I have potassium deficiency and extremely low (almost dangerously low) blood pressure, so I feel the Benicar regimen would be too dangerous for me. But if some folks have found that it works for them, more power to 'em!

My LLMD just started me last month on benecar 20 mg day...half am/pm plus 2 antibotics...biaxin & doxycycline.
