Hello johnlk . . glad you found this Forum. If you read all the threads I think you will have enough information to make a good informed decision for your particular situation. For my particular situation I have been in remission since May 2012 after taking 4 antibiotics for 30 months. I trust my Doctor to tell me IF/WHEN I might need to go back on antibiotics in MY PARTICULAR situation.

Each person's body .. situation and life are different. I will be 73 in August and am grateful for the level of health I have now in remission. I think each person just needs to educate themselves .. do their "due diligence" and then make life decisions based on that. No one answer is right for everyone.

Go in peace and be happy!
