I wrote to Dr. Peat and asked him what he suggested for Lyme disease. I also told him about the high viral titers and asked him what he thought I should do.
You know Ray is very careful not to tell people what to do -- when I share things he's said I don't want to ever give some governing body an excuse to accuse him of "practicing medicine." So this was his full answer:
The tetracyclines (including minocycline, which is effective in the nervous system) are protective against the effects of virus, as well as bacteria, because of their ability to reduce inflammation. The US drug industry and FDA have cooperated in spreading the idea that tetracycline was no longer available, so that the price of tablets could be increased from four cents to four dollars each. Many of the internet sources have recognized the situation and increased prices, but some is still available at moderate cost.
