SandyC, the Wheldon protocol (which many feel is easier to cope with than the Stratton or Powell protocols, because of CPn die-off and inflamation effects relating to the die-off) consists of the following:-

A) N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) 600mg - 1,200mg twice daily. This is a common supplement that can be bought in any health food shop. It breaks the bonds of the EB spore, causing the extracellular EB form to die of starvation and be swept away by your immune system.
This should be taken continously.

When able to tolerate this,

B) Doxycycline 100mg once daily is added.

When NAC & Doxy are well tolerated,

C) Azithromycin 250mg orally, three times weekly should be added. (Roxithromycin, 150mg twice daily, is an alternative.)

When all three agents are well tolerated,

D) Doxycycline is increased to 200mg daily.

The reason for taking Doxy and Azith (or Roxi) is to ensure that bacterial resistance is impossible when taking the antibiotics on this forum long term. (Of course, you MUST continously take a probiotic, to replace the good bacteria whilst on this protocol)

Doxycycline and Azithromycin (or Roxithromycin) hit the bug in it's intracellular RB form, causing some of the CPn to die, but causing most to convert to the cryptic form.

Finally when all of the above are tolerated well, which you should continue to take constantly to ensure the bug is kept on it's feet, the following should be added,

E) Metronidazole, building up to 100mg twice per day for 5 days every 3 - 4 weeks, eventually increasing to 400mg 3 times per day.

An alternative is building up to 5 day pulses of 500mg Tinidazole twice per day every 3-4 weeks.

Metro and Tini, destroy the intracellular cryptic form, causing a large die-off and inflamation effect, which is why you start off very slowly and only pulse for 5 days every 3-4 weeks to give your body a chance to recover.

Taking Doxy alone will not kill all of the Cpn, but simply force most of it into the cryptic form until the Doxy isn't in the blood anymore, when it will start all over again.

The above antibiotics are pretty cheaply available and mostly generic versions exist. These have been proven by Stratton and others to be the best ones to wipe out Cpn if you have it.

The problem is, that Cpn is a newly discovered bug. It has only been known about for 25 years or so, which accounts for such a lack of knowledge in the medical establishment.
