The more I see the impact of "modern medicine" on the real lives of patients the more I love the internet's effects on how people learn and form opinions of their options. I have recently been treating a beautiful 70 year-old woman who has had severe arthritis since she was 7 years old. She has had all the drugs, pain pills and surgery that modern science has to offer and still her disease pressed ahead taking her painfully through another difficult day. She has been very successful as a grandmother and businesswoman despite her crippling joint problems. She came to me because I did some TV work with her granddaughter. Her grandchild had her ear so she skeptically but willingly made the effort to tell her story one more time. I listened for about an hour and figured out her problem.
I decided to try the Brown protocol with her permission.
Brown Protocol for Arthritic Illness
- Remove sugar from the diet as much as possible and avoid foods that upset digestion in any way.
- Begin by taking Minocycline 100 mg. twice daily and reduce the dose to 100 mg. daily by two weeks and reduce the dose further to 100 mg. every other day as soon as symptoms are improving consistently.
- Consider anti-fungal treatment when breakthrough pain is a problem from excessive sugars in diet or during an extended cycle of antibiotic treatment.
- Always check with your doctor if there is an unexplained increase in pain or decrease in function.
- Prepare to rest and take supplements every day regardless of symptoms for the remainder of your life.

It's worth considering.
