    Hello everyone,

    Just informing everyone, if you aren’t already aware, of a few studies/trials that are going on.
    It is believed that minocycline may also help some who suffer from schizophrenia and alzheimers. There are trials going on in the uk as we speak to measure how effecive minocycline is for alzheimers and it seems a study was done a few years ago in china for minocycline and schizophrenia.

    Below are links discussing the trials. Let friends and family members know about these studies. who knows? maybe, depending on the results of the tiral, this drug may become first choice to treat these illnesses. It may also open up the opportunity to maybe do another trial for minocycline/antibiotic protocol and rheumatic illnesses.

    Jez,

    Thank you for posting this. When I first started having SD symptoms 9 yrs ago, my Mom didn’t really understand what was going on with me. That was because she was having her first symptoms of dementia/alzheimers. Wouldn’t it have been nice if she could have started AP with me. Perhaps it would have saved her as it has saved me.

    Im so sorry about your mother, and yes perhaps it would have saved her. My grandmother is suffering from alzheimers, and I am hoping that she may able to try this treatment out if the trial results are positive.
