Prescription NSAIDs like Naproxen and Celebrex cost about 55 cents each but they merely suppress painful symptoms.

37)        The author fired four rheumatologists who would not even consider a discussion of any alternative treatments other than TNF blockers and other accepted mainstream drugs. They were given a sheaf of research papers describing Dr. Brown’s protocol, which they refused to read.

Another excellent overview is at http://www.roadback.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/studies.display/display_id/184.html For Sarcoidosis or multiple infections, patients should acquaint their doctors with the Marshall Protocol.

This was a study involving 15,716 patients treated with antibiotics for RA between 1998 and 2009. The study’s conclusion: “Rheumatologists have not embraced minocycline or doxycycline as primary treatment options for RA and reserve their use primarily in patients with long-standing, refractory disease.” This reluctance is surprising, considering minimal side effects and generally acceptable tolerance for the antibiotics, and their measurable effectiveness. The duration of just 3-6 months was not enough to significantly decrease the colony of pathogens. Online at http://arthritis-research.com/content/13/5/R168
