Donta is the only doc to publish this in a peer reviewed journal that I
know of!!! He is great. If only every LLMD did this!! Donta wrote in
article on other thread- re treatment- QUOTE as follows:

With tetracycline or
augmented macrolide therapies, the duration of therapy appears to be an

important determinant of outcome. If chronic disease is present for
more than 1 to 3 years, it appears that 12 to 18 months of treatment is

needed to cure or control the disease, with longer duration of illness
requiring longer courses of therapy. Some patients with long-term
chronic disease appear to have limited or no response to treatment, the

reasons for which are unknown. The need for long courses of treatment
is not unique to Lyme disease. Other chronic infections such as
tuberculosis, leprosy, some fungal infections, and Q fever may require
months to years of antibiotic therapy for adequate resolution or
control of the disease.
