Cpnhelp.org - Chlamydia Pneumoniae Treatment

Hi GM, thanks for the information.   We are constantly adding to our knowledge and treatment options on this site, so this is something to consider.

The theory behind allicin is good.  Although I can say that I have tried it and I found no improvement in my condition.

 

Azithro 250mg MWF, Doxyi,  NAC 2400/daily, 1 81mg Baby Asprin daily, recommended supplementsi from this web site

I should say that my improvement - like on CAPi - has been over many months. I started off on one allicin capsule per day (180mg per cap) and increased this when my herx reaction decreased. Over 7 months I have increased to 8 caps a day. One capsule has the equivalent allicin as about 30 bulbs of garlic.

 

Thanks for the replies!

Garlic has a long history as a bactericidal and antiviral. The Romans used to pack wounds with it and the Egyptians fed it to their work force to keep them healthy.During WW II, it was called Russian penicillin as it was used to treat the Russian troops. I tried to use concentrated garlic when I was sick with respiratory infectionsi--unfortunately for me, it didn't get to the deep seated Cpni infection I have. I have however found it amplifies the effect of the antibioticsi. But if you have bleeding problems, watch out as it is a blood thinner. Here's more fascinating lore: http://www.kitchendoctor.com/articles/four_thieves.html Raven CAPi since 8-05 for Cpn and Mycoplasma P. for MS and/or CFSi

98% well and going for 100! CAPi since 8-05 for Cpni and Mycoplasma P. for MSi and/or CFSi Also EBVi and HHV6 My grateful thanks to all the CAP docs!!!

 I've changed the forum this was posted on to "Adjuncts" as, while this may be a useful adjunct to some on a CAPi, it is not part of the CAP nor a substitute for the bacteriocides and antibioticsi discussed here. I don't want newbies confused about this as an "official" substitute. It's confusing enough!

Thanks for your post and your link. The information may be helpful for those wishing to cover more bases in their treatment.

Yes, I have heard about the "Russian penicillin" label and also somewhere read an old saying - you should never trust someone who doesn't eat garlic (although I'm not sure exactly why!).

You won't get much allicin, if any, through a regular garlic supplement, or by eating garlic. It's produced when garlic is crushed and is chemically unstable. It can only be produced in the body if there are optimum conditions, it doesn't like stomach acid. The company that produces the supplement has patented a process which guarantees delivery of allicin in the body via their capsules. It's also available in a cream and a liquid - good for acne, coldsores and various rashes as well as a first aid treatment.

I do agree this may help "cover more bases" especially with a lot of research implicating herpes viruses in CFSi and it is anti-candida too. It is still a relatively new product and I guess it has a lot of testing ahead of it before it can officially be a medicine as opposed to a supplement. However, it's done great things for me and I really just want to tell people about it! For people in similar circumstances to me it may offer hope where antibioticsi are not available to them.

My link doesn't seem to work so the site is : www.cfs-allicin.com someone asked about it, so if you want to visit the site type that into the address bar because I'm not too technologically minded and can't fix it, sorry!

Interesting. Oh, the link is working now, GM.

So it is - thanks! A particular benefit of allicin is that it doesn't destory the "good bacteria" in the gut.

Thanks again for the replies.

re: allicin + probiotics, good bacteria. In reply to note above, There may be differing thoughts, I'll just add that the NDs I've worked with, have always stressed that probiotics are still essential when on taking antimicrobial nutrients such as allicin or OLE.  They suggest a broad spectrum probiotic along with Saccharomyces boulardii.  However, Sacc. boul. may not be for immunei compromised patients.  check with doctor, of course. I am new and have read much here, not all, so if this is contraindicated I hope someone will bring that to my attn and I will adjust note.

here's an excerpt from my files notes from link below:

"Only Saccharomyces boulardii and, to a lesser degree, L. casei rhamnosus (GG) have been shown to protect against C. difficile.

S. boulardii is a unique probiotic in that it is known to survive gastric acidity, it is not adversely affected or inhibited by antibioticsi . . . however, antifungals should be taken hours apart." see note at bottom of post.

I suppose allicin, olive leaf extract and other supplementsi that have an anti-fungal nature fall into this category, too.

this is not to endorse, but this is just one source, and some more info. at FLORASTOR Saccharomyces boulardii www.florastor.com

- sorry about the type size changes.  when I copy and paste it weirds out . . . I change it and it changes back.  It may stay put this time, or not.
