 For patients who take a break over more than a month, it may be best to start over with minocycline alone and only add a second antibiotic once the immunopathology indicates they are ready for additional immune stimulation.

-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), but are continuing to experience some level of the symptoms of immunopathology, can expect that the intracellular bacteria are being dealt with and the patient is making progress towards recovery.
+===== Resuming olmesartan after a break =====
+MP patients who have discontinued olmesartan (Benicar) during a break from the MP will want to restart regular dose olmesartan without additional antibiotics. Once symptoms have stabilized on olmesartan along, it will be easier to determine how strong their own immune response can be with the added support of olmesartan's immune stimulative properties.

+===== Resuming MP antibiotics after a break =====
 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.
 ===== Patients experiences =====
-<blockquote>The break was very nice. When I am in the midst of herxing my emotions tell me that I have always been herxing, always will, with no end in sight. I know many of us have that psychological response. Taking this break has been a morale booster.
