> Antibiotics are to kill infection, so how long do you take them to kill infection of the brain , it should if working kill infection in weeks so why take it long term. Plus what happen,s when you body becomes immune to antibiotics an you get a phsyical illness that needs antibiotics to stop you from dieing ??????????
Hi
In this situation minocycline is not being used for its antibacterial properties. It has independent anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce inflammation, even in the brain.
You do not build immunity to antibiotics. Bugs can become immune to them. Minocycline is uniquely needed for very specific, v limited conditions so its okay to take it. Countless other antibiotics exist. Plus you cannot assume that ,if bugs sensitive to minocycline are indeed inhabiting your brain, they will not be wiped out. Drug résistance does not happen so easily. The bugs need to mutate their genetic makeup first.
