Is the Vanderbilt Chlamydia Lab really already open? Hooray!

I noticed Mac's post about the reopening on LymeNet just now: "And, by the way, Vanderbilt's research lab has just reopened and they are seeking a faster, more efficient treatment, so we pioneers may be the only ones who have to do treatment for a couple of years' time."

Does anyone know if there are any trials we can sign up for or if we can visit the lab as patients?

Thanks!

Marysia

The lab is about to open,

The lab is about to open, but they are not doing any human trials and the testing is reserved exclusively for research purposes. Evidently, last time they got so many clinical samples sent in for testing that it crowded out their research capacity, so this time they aren't doing clinical testing at all. But they will be doing research that will help establish the findings on porphyria more firmly, and testing some of the newer treatment strategies that hold promise for a better approach.  

CAP for Cpni 11/04. Dx: 25yrs CFSi & FMSi. Protocol: 200mg Doxyi, 300mg Roxithromycin, Tinii 1000mg/day pulses; Vit D1000 units, Iodoral 50mg, T4 & T3

Marysia, See Jim's post on

Marysia, See Jim's post on this under 'Site News', which should be in the right margin on your screen. "Vanderbilt Chlamydia Lab to Reopen". I really hope they have great success, so the people who come behind us can shorten down that 3-5 year treatment span.

Thanks for the info.  In any case, it'll be great to have it up and running. 

CDC Lyme + 02/06; Cpni, HHV6, and EBVi + 03/08. 2 yrs slow improvement on variations of CAPi for Lyme. Currently slowly resuming treatment and changing to newly discovered (for me) Cpn protocol after a severe porphyria attack 09/07 on Diflucan.
