DYCL is one of the primary treatments in protocols in South America, Central America, Africa, the Middle East, etc... with stromectol and hydroxychloroquin.
Take a look at infection rate per million and death rate per million in these nations compared to western countries. Shocking.
These other countries did not receive the vaccine or boosters, too expensive.
Interesting! For me, it was a bit different. The first week or so of Doxy, my symptoms would spike, including symptoms that had mostly faded out. After what I called "spike day," the symptoms would vanish over 1-3 days, being entirely gone on the final day. After the cycle ended, though, I would find symptoms returning after a few days.
I've run through that cycle twice; my doctor is willing to experiment with me to try different things if I sell it well. Of note... my infectious disease specialist (I have been trying everything) did note that Doxy is also an anti-inflammatory, so that may be why it works.
Things that have not worked:
- Gabapentin
- Prednisone
- SSRIs (The dreaded "in your head" angle)
- LDN
- NSAIDS
- Stretching (No, really, I was told by my since-fired PCP to 'stretch' because diffuse nerve irritation was clearly curable by stretching...)
- Wrist braces ('it might just be inexplicably pulled tendons!)
- Summoning Cthulu (well, still awaiting results there)
