Jim, I'm sorry not to have read this sooner, but you appear to be making a mistake about David's regime.  You don't mention NACⁱ until way down the list and the first alternative is given appears to be azithromycin by itself, which is incorrect as can be seen here:

http://www.davidwheldon.co.uk/ms-treatment1.html

A schedule of treatment.

This is one schedule which strikes all stages of the organism's life-cycle. Other equally good schedules are possible. It is preferable that a committed care-giver (for instance, spouse, partner or parent) should ensure that medication is given, and swallowed, consistently.)

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) 600mg - 1,200mg twice a day, should be taken continuously. This is a commonly-taken dietary supplement, available at health-food stores. It is an acetylated sulphur-containing amino-acid, and may be expected to cause chlamydial EBs to open prematurely, exposing them to starvation; more on this and other benefits on page 4. This should be started at the lower dose of 600mg twice a day; the dose should be doubled when well-tolerated. NAC offers liver protection; this may be useful, as rapid bacterial die-off may compromise hepatic function.

When NAC is well tolerated, Doxycycline 100mg once daily is added. It is taken with plenty of water.

When the two above are well tolerated, Azithromycin 250mg orally, three times a week should be added. (Roxithromycin, 150mg twice daily, is an alternative.)

When all three agents are well tolerated, the dose of Doxycycline is increased to 200mg daily.

The reason for this slow, step-wise introduction of antichlamydials is to minimize any reactions caused by bacterial die-off. These can be unpleasant. NOTE: in rapidly progressive MS it may be prudent to offset the benefits of stopping progression against the risk of reactions, giving full doses of azithromycin and doxicycline from the beginning.

This combination is taken continuously.

Also, The implication might be taken by some people that metronidazole and tinidazole are taken during a five day break fro the bacteristatics an this also applies to the Stratton Protocol.  This would seem to answer my query as to why so many newbies were asking me this question..........Sarah  

Jim, how about moving my comment to imediately below the chart until you have the time?..........Sarah  

Greetings  :-)

I have just begun the Wheldon Protocol today. This would never have been possible without being able to persuade my doctor to allow this....which was 100% based on the information found on this site. To say I am very appreciative is as much of an understatement as it is to say that I sorta' hope my symptoms improve now.  Ha!   Thank you to everyone here!

My question relates to the order in which to introduce each component of the Protocol. Specifically, my question relates to something Sarah said here:

Assuming everything else is well tolerated as added, at what point should we begin to add the Flagyl pulses? And once that phase (Flagyl pulses) has begun, is a separate component (i.e. one that we would be taking at the time Flagyl is added) supposed to be reduced, suspended, or eliminated....and if so, is it then restarted when we rae not active in a Flagyl pulse?

CHEERS!
