Waar moeten de (nieuwe) Lyme patiënten of chronische Lyme patiënten of andere (zoekende, hoopvolle of wanhopige) zieke mensen goed op letten?
Over Dapson en MSIDS en Disulfiram.
Bron https://nl-nl.facebook.com/drrichardhorowitz/ ..25 juli 2025:.The Lyme narrative may be slowly shifting, but the National Academy of Sciences, called it infection associated chronic illness...a 'post-infectious' complication and completely ignored 10 published peer-reviewed journal articles on the safety and efficacy of dapsone combination therapy and the MSIDS model accounting for chronic illness with persistent infection, co-infections and overlapping causes of inflammation driving illness. So things may be shifting, but ignoring published research because of bias, is an old problem. That is not shifting. Yet. Until a RCT is done proving what I know in 41 years of seeing over 13,000 chronically ill patients, we will see everyone hemming and hawing over scientific possibilities. Sorry, not shifting fast enough for me. And all I would need isroughly 7 million dollars to get it done. Considering billions have been spent on long Covid without clear answers, this would be a drop in the bucket to help solve a worldwide epidemic..
..Bron https://nl-nl.facebook.com/drrichardhorowitz/ ..25 juli 2025:.Speaking of medical politics: It is interesting that certain researchers like Dr Steere continue to ignore the possibility of chronic infection and it is in part the reason peptidoglycans are present. We improve Lyme arthritis all the time with dapsone combination therapy. In my population of patients, they don't have to spend years and decades on anti-rheumatic drugs. If peptidoglycans without infection were the issue, I wouldn't see the types of improvements we see with a 9 week oral antibiotic protocol followed by two week pulses in chronic Bartonella patients.
I did reach out to Dr Steere to be part of the dapsone trial with Mass General. I was told he was semi-retired. I reached out to Paul Auwaeter at Hopkins to be part of the trial. I was told he was involved in helping to get out the new Lyme vaccine. I then asked for feedback on our trial, so I could incorporate IDSA suggestions, so that when the trial is completed, no one will say 'you should have done that....' Still waiting for a response..
In herinnering:. Stand van zaken in 2025:
Bron https://nl-nl.facebook.com/drrichardhorowitz/ 17 juli 2025:.I agree. Buteven among Lyme experts, there are some that refuse to use dapsone combination therapy and the MSIDS model despite extensive publications showing benefit. Someone who is more than a month ago from a bite will usually need persister drug regimens. What is the answer? Some doctors will not use this highly effective protocol
until a randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial. Which is my focus for next year to help serve the millions. Although we applied for a R34 NIH grant, it is pending, and due to cuts, who knows whether it will be approved. Anyone interested in helping to fund the trial, please contact the MSIDS Research Foundation, which is a 501c3. We can get you more information if you are interested: research@hvhac.com ..

I know one of the researchers who participated in the report. Very nice person, but has their head in sand.
Next year, I will attempting to get a RCT trial done on dapsone which is what they are needing for proof (and BTW, many things we do in medicine have NEVER been evaluated by RCTs and are standard of care).
I will also be launching a consultation model for doctors and patients next year as I move into the next stage of my clinical career (I already started and some are using the model effectively). I am planning on doing a Zoom call later this month with two physicians actively using dapsone and the MSIDS model. You can hear from them their amazing success stories. Any doctors willing to work with me in this consultation model (the doctor has to be willing to follow my advice and prescribe) can have me as a consultant to get their patients through DDDCT and HDDCT and the MSIDS model.

There is no reason to deny effective treatments are available. In a balanced world, you would have quoted my research and that by Tufts and said more research needs to be done. Not ignore it completely. Maybe RFK Jr will be willing to take up the mantle of dysfunctional Lyme politics since nothing has moved the needle at the top for decades. That hurts everyone in the middle of a worldwide epidemic..
In herinnering:. LivLyme symposium; Bron https://www.facebook.com/drrichardhorowitz
..8 maart 2023: Lyme treatment protocols are not always covered by insurers. This is why a RCT of dapsone combination therapy is essential. Appx 50% go into long term remission after an 8 week oral, generic protocol if all MSIDS factors have been addressed. Once I have more information about the success of our recent Lyme-Bart protocols, I will design a study and get input from the major Lyme organizations. I mentioned in jest this weekend during the LivLyme conference, that the major Lyme organizations need to consider giving Johns Hopkins center5 million dollars to do the dapsone study. Its really not a joke. They have the largest PTLDS patient group and a successful study there would help move the needle towards proving the success of recent biofilm/persister regimens..
