It certainly is *logical* -- put more antibiotics where they are needed, in
organs that have little blood flow -- but it's not necessarily more effective.
I understand there is no statistical proof that it produces a greater cure or
improvement rate. Modern oral antibiotics enter tissue so well, hospital
rarely bother even with IV treatment.

I like Toth's focus on culturing bacteria (I got a culture from someone else in
NYC, and it may have discovered my problem). But Toth's injections besides
not having a proven upside, *do* have side-effects -- pain from the injection,
and (at least in one case) ejacuatling blood for awhile after.

In any event;

 - Toth's intra-prostate and intra-epididymal infilitration (as it's called) is
championed by Dr. Federico Guercini of Rome (who works with Toth). Fwiw, I
admire Dr. Guercini based on his writings online. More about Guercini:

 - you can read about experiences with Dr. Toth (who I have never met) on this
website.
