The FDA has fined several companies for making unsubstantiated claims about it. Google argyria as well. You should be FAR more afraid of what the colloidal silver will do to you than the antibiotics.<BR/><BR/>I do not currently need to supplement with Betaine HCL.<BR/><BR/>I guess I should make it clear that the only avenues I pursue are backed up by scientific research of one kind or another. The antibiotic protocol has a great track record of success. The doctors at this institute have written papers on mycoplasma infection and its role in RA, for example.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467543096755297798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468249333232629469.post-38622686450371347332008-03-27T19:28:00.000-07:002008-03-27T19:28:00.000-07:00hi susan, happy to hear you are making so...hi susan,<BR/> happy to hear you are making some progress. I have also been looking into this antibiotic therapy for a while now. I've read 'the New Arthritis Breakthrough' by Henry Scammell which I reccommend and also 'Rheumatoid Arthritis-Infection Connection' by Katherine Poehlmann (who cured her RA). My doctor has written me the scripts for the antibiotics but I haven't started it yet. A part of me is very hesitant. I've decided to try colloidal silver first so we'll see how it goes. Just out of curiousity, do you supplement with Betain HCL at all? have you tested your levels?<BR/> Look forward to hearing about your progress anyway :) <BR/>LaineLaineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654848126270660575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468249333232629469.post-13759105953496823752008-03-26T21:49:00.000-07:002008-03-26T21:49:00.000-07:00Kat,I am sooo excited.

I am very curious to see what he'll have to say as well. I'll keep you all posted!<BR/><BR/>SusanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467543096755297798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468249333232629469.post-52978473269803342312008-03-25T12:29:00.000-07:002008-03-25T12:29:00.000-07:00I'm so glad to hear your appointment went well.

Sounds like you're on a good start to getting better. I know it's frustrating sometimes to not be able to fix something right away. These types of health problems we all have, just seem to take forever to heal up. But it sounds like you've got a lot to look forward to after these spiffy doctors help you out!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739722739952176885noreply@blogger.com
