Lots of positive research going on around Minocycline

[hopefulmama]

Hey all,

I found a couple of new things that may be rays of light ~ in terms of what research is happening and which institutions are embracing Minocin. (It’s ironic that I’m not yet on this drug as I am its biggest fan 😉 ) I thought this was very positive and wanted to share, since it is always nice to get a boost.

First,

Here is an article from Touch Neurology on the clinical potential of Minocin for ALS (and it also mentions encouraging results with the use of Minocin in Parkinsons Disease): http://www.touchneurology.com/articles/clinical-potential-minocycline-amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis

also I found that they are running clinical trials at Mayo Clinic using Minocin for Primary sclerosing cholangitis: http://mayoresearch.mayo.edu/mayo/research/lindor_lab/minocycline.cfm… actually wait, I just found the results of the study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology (they were encouraging!!!): http://www.nature.com/ajg/journal/v104/n1/abs/ajg200814a.html

Also is it just me or is it new that Mayo Clinic is advertising minocycline for RA? Maybe I am getting confused and it is SD they hadn’t been talking about it with yet… but anyway, for newbies with RA it says right here on the Mayo Clinic site that minocycline is a recommended treatment (under DMARDs): http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/rheumatoid-arthritis/DS00020/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs

Gosh, now I’m pumped up and feeling a lot more confident that if the need arises (which it looks like it may) for me to go on abx (if my herbal protocol can’t control those nasty infectious buggies on its own) then everything is going to be A-O-K 🙂

I think someone should tell Michael J Fox about minocycline.

ok, that’s all for now for me 🙂

Take care and be well!!!

Thanks for this post about Minocin for ALS. After discussing my AP therapy with a friend whose husband recently died of ALS, she was wondering if AP worked for ALS. I told her I would look around, and voila! here’s your post. So I sent it on.

Thanks again. I am pumped, too!

Marie – you may also be interested in this site set up by Stephen Shackel (who suffers from ALS). I found his site very inspirational. Lynnie

Lynnie,

Wow, thanks so much for posting Steven Shackel’s site. My grandmother passed away of ALS when I was 9 years old and it was incredibly devastating for my mother. I’ve been reading through his site now with tears in my eyes, loving his positive and affirming spirit and all of his good advice. I think his advice about diet and attitude is fantastic for any autoimmune disease. Time for me to stop gorging on white rice.

Take care and thank you again –
