Scott, you're thinking of something else. My fault. I steered you in the wrong direction with poor choice of wording. Sorry.
Nobody is wrong. There isn't enough known in this field for anybody to be wrong or right. Case by case.
As to the evidenced based science so many rely on, it is so full of flaws and bias and politics and economoics, generally, and the results are often cherry picked or "interpreted" in some way. It is not science and is not fact and is not duplicate-able (is that a word?) and is not consistently repeatable. Science is all of those. What we are talking about here at pbabble is not science. All of our studies are full of words like "may", "could", "suggests"....sorry, that is not science. That is opinion.
Anyway, sorry, got side tracked. What I meant to say is that for mino to truly heal that person of whatever is causing the symptoms is going to take much time. Benefits in terms of mood can be felt as early as day 1. For me it was day 2. But that is not the healing. That is just the introductory chapter. And that is a common expected reaction.
If someone takes mino for say a week, a month, whatever short time, and their depression goes away and stays away, cool! I am sure it happens. Why? Because things are so complicated and mysterious, it can happen and we may never know exactly why. Was it a bug thing? Was it an inflammation thing? Was it a gene thing? What was it that mino did? Was it a combination of stuff? And if it did work that way, why not use that as first line instead of prozac? So many questions.
Anyway, if someone has a hidden stealth infection or some hidden inflammation (same thing pretty much) mino stands a really good chance of helping them feel better. An early positive response is very common. In Lyme we call it the honeymoon period. It can be quite profound. I experienced it myself except on doxy, about 2 weeks in, depression completely gone, 20 years of suffering completely gone. Of course, it aint that simple, and that was not the end of the story. And won't be for most of us either.
Early respons expected. The true repair and healing takes months. Don't confuse symptom resolution with disease resolution. That's what I meant to say.
The scientists can keep their data it is not of much use when examined closely under a microscope. Too many suggestions and opinions and interpretations and mays and maybes. I just go with what works and we'll figure it out someday but right now it's not important....just get the patient feeling better is plenty good enough for now! imo

> Minocycline can work within days or weeks to treat MDD, BD, and SCZ. The duration of a current study with schizophrenia will last 12 weeks. I hope they produce graphs for time/response results. For depression, I have seen two people respond within 7 days. How do you think minocycline works to facilitate such a rapid response?
