-===== Does disease become worse while on break? =====
+===== Does disease become worse if on Benicar only? =====
+Latent bacterial forms, except maybe the kind one sees in the rapidly degenerative disease ALS, are very slow-growing. Patients taking Benicar alone (olmesartan without antibiotics) are continuing to experience some level of the symptoms of immunopathology, then the intracellular bacteria are being dealt with and the patient is making progress towards recovery.
-Latent bacterial forms, except maybe the kind one sees in the rapidly degenerative disease ALS, are very slow-growing. Abstinence from MP antibiotics for a few days or even weeks will not result in a significant increase in bacteria. If patients are experiencing some symptoms of immunopathology, they are killing bacteria and making progress towards recovery.
+===== Resuming olmesartan after a break =====
-===== To resume the MP =====
+MP patients who have discontinued olmesartan (Benicar) during a break from the MP will want to take olmesartan (Benicar) without additional antibiotics while they determine how strong their own immune response is with the support of olmesartan's immune stimulative effects.
-MP patients who have discontinued olmesartan (Benicar) during a break from the MP may want to take olmesartan (Benicar) alone for a few days before resuming the minocycline. This will guard against any intolerable adjustment symptoms.
-Patients taking a break from antibiotics for just a few days or so can resume the antibiotics at the previous dose.
+===== Resuming MP antibiotics after a break =====
-Patients taking a break from antibiotics for longer than a few days should restart their antibiotics at a lower dose to assess symptoms as tolerable, to avoid a strong immune system reaction.
+Patients taking a break from antibiotics for just a few days or so usually find they can resume the antibiotics at the previous dose. However, patients taking a break from antibiotics for longer than a few days will need to restart their antibiotics at a lower dose to assess symptoms as tolerable, to avoid a strong immune system reaction.
