The book Cause Unknown gives two notable examples of a lyme cure by way of several rounds of high dose oral ceftin.

Does anyone know the daily dosage on this?

Thanks.

2,000 - 3,000 mg daily. Most LLMDs only want to Rx 1,000 mg a day.

For adults, recommended dosage for treating lyme is 1 g, 2 times a day. I have know 2 poeple who took more, one took 1.5 g 2x a day, and the other took 2.0g 2 x a day. Supposidly, there are poeple who have taken higher than this for short peiods of time.

But I think most ILADS are 1 g, 2 x a day

Not sure what they mean exactly, but when I took 3,000 mg Ceftin along with 2,000 mg Biaxin plus Bicillin and FLagyl it was awesome!

I had a strong herx yes, and it also made many of my long term symptoms go away for good. Not Ceftin alone, but the 4 med combination. [Smile] Awesome means it got me better! [Wink]
