haidut said:For chronic back pain (which is related to endotoxin) a human study found that 2-3 months duration are needed to successfully treat it.
Here haidut, are you thinking of that fairly recent study
where they say they find in herniated discs
the same bacteria that causes acne...?
In that study they used pretty high doses of Amoxicillin/clavulanate 875 mg / 125 mg
for about the length of time you mention.
I have that on the back burner as a possibility with my own chronic lower back pain,
but I'd feel better if I could use a tetracycline.
Just wondering if you'd seen a different study using tetracyclines,
or if you'd guess tetracyclines might be as effective as the Amoxicillin/clavulanate....?
