Cpnhelp.org: A website devoted to the understanding and treatment of Chlamydia Pneumoniae, an infectious bacteria implicated in a number of human illnesses
=======
I was dx with Cpn last April but I cannot tolerate some of the key meds (I get serious rashes from many abx- other's don't, though). I can't afford to go back to the doctor. Still, I continue trying to learn more, especially about alternative methods but I'd sure love to know for sure if they would be strong enough.
I will also begin rifing soon.
I find the Cpn Help site to be of tremendous help with information regarding the protocol you mentioned.
Cpn (as related to endocrine stress) is discussed at length in this book:

Thx Keebler, It seems a lot of the people there are treating C. Pneumoniae, TBDs, Myco & who knows what else . I think I'll give the Wheldon a try. Then there's also the Stratton/Sririam(sp) protocol on the same site. I do like the idea of pulsing meds.
Anyone else on this?

I am on doxy only for Cpn. I hope to add flagyl to this...we'll see what my doctor says at my next appt. I had very high antibody titers to Cpn (both IgG and IgA)
I'm also on acyclovir for several chronic viral infections.
I would encourage anyone who is battling lyme, or think they have lyme to also get tested for HHV-6, EBV and Cpn.

The mystery is how do you find or educate an LLMD on this protocol?
We asked my wife's LLMD last year about low dose pulsed protocols - he seemd not informed or interested.

If you post on the cpnhelp website, someone there may be able to direct you to a doctor in your area willing to treat for Cpn.
Best, Timaca

My husband started this protocol in August 2006. We were unaware that he also has Lyme until January of this year. In the past several months, he has taken breaks from the Vanderbilt protocol to dabble with other oral abx, but he was doing better on the Vanderbilt. It can be rough and requires gradual ramping-up on the meds, but it's effective. For Lyme, I would recommend kicking the doxycycline dosage up to 100mg 3 times a day after all 3 meds are well-tolerated.
