I had a one-day total complete remission of all symptoms while on Doxy. It was taken for a boil. The stunning miraculous day was an eye opener for me and my doctor. Both of us said, "ahh-haaa".
Before that one day, I felt much worse in terms of depression and fatigue. It was unbearable. I felt like the walking dead. In hindsight, it was likely a brain and body flooded with dead corpses.
The normal course of treatment is to get worse first. Then random good days. More bad days. Good weeks, bad weeks. After several months, they are mostly good days and weeks. That's from the immune system adjusting in stages, and also directly related to the lifecycle of the bug being killed, and their cycle of coming out of hiding. I didn't get that far, but may have a chance as I see a specialist in this stuff next week. My Doxy experience told me one thing for sure...I am highly infected with something and it is directly linked to my depression.
I think a Doxy trial test would be a good diagnostic tool. If someone reacts badly, that is pretty good confirmation they have an infection at the root of their symptoms. If they react mildly or not at all, they can likely rule out an infection or inflammation. Simple enough.
What kind of infection could we have? Geez, so many. Top contenders are Lyme, its cousins, pneumonia clamydia, and others. People may never know what bug they had, only that they were cured with Doxy. There is a solid body of scientific evidence on this, as well as thousands of stories of people so psychiatrically ill they couldn't get out bed, who in a few months had a job, were dating, and going to school.
In my 15 year journey with psych meds from A to Z, I have never ever felt any kind of absolutely complete total remission as I did on Doxy. $10,000 of psych meds could not do what $50 of an antibiotic did. Unlike psych meds that produce a kind of artificial manipulated remission, Doxy remission felt solidly authentic, like how a normal healthy human being is supposed to feel.
