Interesting article regarding research with strokes.  It lays out the mechanisms behind minocycline's anti-inflammatory properties.

Hi Joe!  Missed you!

Yep – I'm the lead Minohead!  LOL  And oddly, I had a brain herx on AP that improved my short term memory problems years after my stroke/adverse reaction/whatever.  Still nowhere pre-stroke levels but…what an improvement!

I love AP!

Hugs,

Pip
