I called it Lyme arthritis as I thought that some individuals just had
arthritis as a late stage symptom-without neurologic or other
involvement. The QRib test is done by Bowen research-you can get more
info from their site. I am curious about the dosages becasue the
arthritis protocol for flagyl was 1500 mg per day 2 days per week for
6 weeks. Dr. Nicholson's (immed.org)protocol for mycoplasma uses
zithromax also. I've also had eye inflammation (iritis) 2 times.
Thanks.
