Thinking of changing protocols................

Submitted by doglover on Thu, 2008-05-15 12:17.
I've been on the Wheldon protocol since 2-4-2006 and am thinking of switching to the Sriram protocol to see if it jumps starts anything (have an appointment with Dr. Sriram in August, they gave me an appointment for June but I have too much going on the next couple of months to get there that soon). Should I switch or wait to see Dr. Sriram? Just got my liver test results today and they are all well within limits so that's good news Linda

It's very similar to what I

Submitted by doglover on Thu, 2008-05-15 12:38.
It's very similar to what I am taking now-just takes doxyi out and adds more metronidazolei and the pyruvate. Just wondering if the change would be enough to maybe show more results.

Linda, if you are seeing

Submitted by Sarah on Thu, 2008-05-15 12:39.

Linda, if you are seeing him in August, I would stay with what you are on until then, because I know that Sriram uses rifampin as standard at the moment and that isn't something to mess around with by yourself.................Sarah

Ah, I see you are on rifampin already: David doesn't have that as part of his regime because of restrictions in this country..........Sarah

Submitted by Jim K on Thu, 2008-05-15 16:56.

 Linda- it seems like a wise decision to be in good hands medically with someone experienced in treating with a CAPi. He can also be a good judge of any modifications that would fit you better and such. If you can see him, by all means. I hear nothing but good things about him.

Linda My 2 cents is that you

Submitted by loriyas on Fri, 2008-05-16 11:13.
Linda
My 2 cents is that you should wait to change until after you see Dr. Sriram.  He may or may not have other thoughts at that time and since you made an appointment to see him you should go with what he has to say and not start doing things on your own.  Plus, it is not that long until August.
Glad you got an appointment to see him.  I have my follow up visit in June.  I think you will be happy you made the appointment.
