Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group I wonder

Reading up about the Bacteria Yersinia which is attributed to being the causitive agent in AS

I note that its sensitive to the Tetracycline /doxycycline Antibiotics

Also its killed by Oxidation therapies like Peroxide

I am wondering if the medics have tried giving long term low dose antibiotics or whether using Hydrogen peroxide drinks in the right dilution would help

Hi,

I am on the full dose doxy 100 mg 2x a day (my doc recommended this and she will try to lower my dose in 6 months if I'm better)
I take probiotics and have checked myself and there's still plenty of flora.Not like the cipro where EVERYTHING was wiped out.

if in 6 months I am not much better, she is going to add flagyl.

After day 16 of doxy, I noticed my groin lymph nodes that have been swollen since 2005 (the doc wrote it off back then by saying "you're skinny,they're just palpable)had gone down!WOW!They swell in AS.I didn't know I had it then.I must've though since my nodes were swelling.

By then,my flares started getting much milder.I'm on like day 26 now and feeling pretty good.I pray to God it keeps going in this direction.

Sounds good so far
I think the one thing you need to watch with Doxycycline is Candida so I would try the Sodium Bicarbonate drink 30 mins before breakfast each day too
