Hi all
while reading a few posts today i came across this AP stuff several times. i do know its somehting to do with anti biotics....
some more infor please?????
Ashu,
me too!
Our daughter is not diagnosed yet - but started on antibiotics when we thought she had osteomyelitis (which she didn't) and had 2 courses of IV antibiotic and she did appear to respond to this - clearing 2 hot spots and returning normal blood tests! and we thought she was cured - until synptoms were back 2 weeks later. then drs decided they were treating for the wrong thing.
Now rheumy is sorting her NSAIDs meds - who knows what we will end up on.
Just interesting after all this AP therapy talk that she did seem to respond when she was on them...interesting and food for my thought too!

Hey,
AP is the Antibiotic Protocol and was developed by the late Dr. Thomas MacPherson Brown. A book about all his research is available at Border's or on Amazon. The book is called "The New Arthritis Breakthrough" by Henry Scammell. It is a 'must read' because it breaks up the research and science with personal stories - and it's an easy read and it makes sense!
Other places you can get information is at www.roadback.org or www.rheumaticsupport.net, or if I'm forgetting any of the other biggies - somebody please jump in.
We in AP believe our bodies are fighting a cellular infection and by low doses of antibiotics we can halt the progression of the disease. There is even newer research what built on the research of Dr. Brown that suggests there is a possibility of 'full cure' with the use of multiple antibiotics for a couple of years. But first you have to get through AP. :-)
I love AP - it's really changed my life. My disease was described as 'early onset severe' which I suppose was medico-speak for 'she's on a walker in 4 months'. I started AP 8/25 of last year and have not looked back! I could open my milk jug in a few weeks - which was a cause for celebration in my house! Today I sit at my typewriter looking out the window at my loaded Penske Truck and know that I leave for my new life as soon as I can get this house cleaned up enough to sell. LOL I've been able to lift, carry, tote, pack, argue (oops, probably shouldn't have thrown that one in - LOL) go up and down stairs, wrastle the child into clothes etc. etc. etc. - all things I thought long gone in MONTHS. Not only did I get my life back - I got enough of the 'there by the Grace of God go I" that I decided to go for my hopes and dreams. Life is short - make the most of it!
AP is not an overnight thing - it can take 6 months of any signs that it's working - but a child that is responding to ABX - that's one heck of a positive sign. Mostly it's two steps forward one step back - but the end result is a 'normal' painfree life.
Got to start cleaning - and I'll be AFK for a while so anybody with any questions please leave either an email or a PM.
